Someone Put “Quotations Marks” In A “Funny Place”
 |
College student and FNH reader Valerie was browsing the Washington Post Style and Arts section over the weekend when she spotted something suspect: someone used a pair of questionable quotation marks when describing the Food Network’s “dishes”:
“DISHES?” In quotation marks?! Does this mean someone out there finally made the executive decision that Paula Deen’s Popcorn Nut Balls could no longer be considered food?
On another note, how long is the Food Network going to keep using the same 5 publicity photos of their personalities? That one of Guy Fieri has been making me want to claw my eyes out for the past 2 years. And I’m fairly certain that photo of T-Flo was taken by Zinjanthropus.
(Shout out to Valerie for sending in one of the most unintentionally hilarious photos I’ve seen in awhile!)

Too funny! I guess even TFN knows their “dishes” aren’t real food.
BTW, great faux L’Oreal ad, what a hoot.
“Dish” is old slang for “Hottie”. But then again, the quote marks are still appropriate. None of them are “dishes”.
I thought “hottie” also when I saw “dishes.” Thought they were trying to be coy about it. Then I realized Guy was on the photo spread.
This isn’t surprising. You’d use the same treatment for Sandra Lee (“chef”) and Ina Garten (“unpretentious”).
I think they mean they are hotties.
Wow that requires a huge stretch of the imagination, eh?
Will the Neelys be performing their usual live sex show?
*gag*
I’d like to think that it’s somebody’s attempt to be clever, but there are so many “errant” quotation marks these days, it’s hard to know.
That is too funny!
Reminds me of this website. Love this:

LOL – the Fieria hair color ad !
Hair color ad is hilarious!
“Pure Douche #67″ = GOLD
Also the picture of guidouche is supposed to look like the photog spontaneously captured him in a random moment of being “extreme” but I’d bet $50 it took several takes of him posing to get that right.
Also, long-time lurker, ex-fan of TFN, FRICKIN LOVE this site!
I think that “dishes” in “quotation marks” would refer to “gossip” regarding the TV Food Network “Stars.”
IE: who had a “boob job” over the summer hiatus, who is “sleeping” with who, (Giada, are you out there?), who got “drunk” at Inas “party,” etc.
Dish:
The scoop, only bigger.
You slept with how many people last night? Gimmie the dish, sista!

Pauler Poopy’s face is hardly recongizable. Like, where is her pudgy cheeks and triple chin? I’m telling you, in six more months, she’ll be photo-shopped back to junior high.
And did all these woman get a group rate on the same mouthful of teeth??
“..great faux L’Oreal ad, what a hoot.”
@Tatiana: Hope you don’t mind my piggy-back praise for Jillian’s L’Oreal ad. All I could think of was that the jerk probably believes the campaign slogan, “I’m worth it!”
Jillian, it’s so well done that I hope with his growing (unexplained) popularity, L’Oreal doesn’t get any bright ideas!
Me thinks doucheboy peroxided his head one too many times and it’s leached into his teeny tiney brain.
do you even realize that Duff whatever is making a picture book about his process with making cakes and shit? does HE realize he has his own TV show?
I love how, just below Paula’s picture, they put “presented by Smithfield”.
Did they do the same for Guy, and put “presented by TGI Fridays”?
@Freezezzy:
Aunt Drunky “Presented by Smirnoff”
Giada “Presented by Wonder Bra”
The Neelys “Presented by K-Y”
I think the punctuation is in reference to the fact that noone really eats dishes, as in Mikasa, Corelle… At least I don’t.
Do you think Anne Burrell also uses ‘pure douche’ ?
Squarebob, that “Unnecessary Quotes” site is hilarious! Made my day (on top of the photo that started this thread, of course).
“I love how, just below Paula’s picture, they put ‘presented by Smithfield’.”
She’s finally turned into a piece of bacon.
They used the quotations as a “Cute” way of saying the Chef’s are “Dishes”. Like my dad used to say about his secretaries, “a couple of hot little dishes”. Whatever the case, they missed the funny mark.
Hilarious!
