Ina Garten »
“GOOD” New Ina Garten Parody Videos Hit The Internet
 |
Ina Garten fans (and haters), rejoice! The Gawker elves have been hard at work scouring the Ina Garten archives, and just posted a 3-part video compilation satirizing the Barefoot Contessa herself.
The first video is all about the “GOOD” things in Ina’s life. Good vanilla. Good chocolate. Good olive oil. Sadly, there were no mentions of “good gays” or “good hydrangea arrangements.” I will say, however, that I came out of this video feeling awfully insecure about the herb-infused dipping oil I picked up for $7.99 at TJ Maxx last night. Could you imagine rolling up to Ina’s with a bottle of that shit? She’d throw you out of her barn faster than Rachael Ray could strap one of her awful, unsupportive bras.
The second video highlights Ina’s annoying habit of constantly asking rhetorical questions. “How bad can that be?” “How easy is that?” “Doesn’t this look fantastic?” And my personal favorite, “Does this oversized shirt make my butt look fat?”
The third video is all about Jeffrey, and clearly begs the question… are these two actually still having SEX? And why is the thought of them having sex so nauseating? (Come to think of it, the thought of ANY of the Food Network hosts having sex is nauseating. Giada and Todd… Rachael and John… Guy Fieri and his right hand…)
You can watch the 3-part ode to Ina over at Gawker (they disable video embedding so I can’t post them here). Just make sure you turn the volume up first.

REALLY good cherry tomatoes! Woo hoo.
Jeffrey was out buying cornbread? It’s the easiest thing in the world to make yourself! Ina, you slacker.
Or should I have said, “How easy is that?”
Still don’t know why everyone kisses this woman’s ass. She is boring, says the same stuff over and over, and brings nothing new to the table.
Agreed. I can take her but only in small doses.
The comments at gawker are all gushing with praise of the wonderfully perfect Mrs. Garten. Figures.
Oh, the Ina haters! LOL… So many people that have issues with using quality. :::headscratch
I agree. She’s presented in a way that just doesn’t work. She’s supposed to be all elegant and sophisticated, and she sure talks like it, but it’s just pretentious and condescending. Don’t preach to me about quality ingredients when that’s how you insist on dressing yourself every freaking day. I’m pretty sure there are stylists on Long Island, and if not, there’d be some willing to travel from NYC to the Haaaaaaaaamptons. Or the gays friends would think it’s faaaaaabulous to give her a makeover.
Good post, Scruffy, and ITA. The eyeshadow, mascara, etc. and little earbobs that Ina’s been featuring lately do little to enhance Ina’s overall “package”. The hairstyle – if you can call it that – is dated, and those tents she wears accentuate rather than camouflage her zaftig physique.
That’s the reason all of her friends are gay. The beautiful, fit, and fashionable women in the Hamptons want nothing to do with her because she’s not beautiful, fit, and fashionable. Her only women “friends” are the ones on her staff who work for her.
@Holly: Good point. One of Ina’s female friends (she was into gardening) looks like an escapee from the psych ward at Bellevue! I doubt that this woman travels among the elite circles in the Hamptons ;)
I have learned quite a lot about quality ingredients (not expensive) From Ina. I always assumed they dressed her the same as to not focus on her figure, as this is a cooking show. I don’t know, I never felt she was condescending. Quite the opposite, I felt she seemed genuine. And the gay friends? I have roamed with many gay men (fashion and beauty industry) so I just assumed it was because she lived in the Hampton’s. I love to laugh at others as well as myself, but I’m afraid this site seems more mean spirited? I am new so I could be wrong. That’s just the first impression I get.
“I love to laugh at others as well as myself, but I’m afraid this site seems more mean spirited”
@MMMichelle: Welcome to FNH and thanks for posting. Like most others here, I have great respect for Ina and her cooking skills. With so many episodes of Barefoot Contessa airing over and over, we find humor in her constant references to “good” ingredients and obvious preference of gay friends.
I hope you’ll find that FHN is a wonderful community of people who enjoy food and cooking and are disappointed with the direction that FN has taken over the past few years and
try to make light of FN’s foibles.
Ina and Jeffery are SO getting their freak on. I’d put money on it.
I so agree! :-D
Guy Fieri and his right hand……..
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’m sorry, but I got an olive oil at Marshalls last month and it was freakin’ delicious. Don’t worry about it Jillian! Ina can sit and spin. (I haven’t said that since I was 12. What’s happening to me.)
I want to get my freak on with Jeffrey!
I buy Aunt Jemima syrup, Swanson chicken broth and Publix brand vanilla……oh my gawd!!!
I love how she acts like leaving Jeffrey home alone is a dangerous thing when the guy lives alone all week up in New Haven, Connecticut. Does he go out for every meal?
You want nauseating — what about FN hosts having sex with each other? Guy and Paula (which I thinks has probably already happened). Ina and Bobby. Alex and Tyler. Anne Burrell and the Neelys.
Bobby and Tyler.
Me and Tyler….oops sorry, carry on.
Did anyone get a a look at the shot of the tent moving in the end of the 3rd clip………….EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! They were laughing toooooooooooooooooooo!
That’s because Ina couldn’t get her big butt into the tent opening. Plus Jeffrey’s tent-building skills were questionable. But you can be sure that as soon as the camera crew left, Ina and Jeffrey got their freak on big time.
How sick is that?
3 seconds to the end
EWEWEWEWWWWWW!
Oh Gods. The very last quote… “That was scary.”
That had me laughing hysterically. Thanks for finding this! :)
Those comments at Gawker are no fun. Gag me with something Aunt Sandy made! All the love for Ina! I like her show, but please, that woman is a snob.
And yeah, where were her “good gays”.
Loved the “Good” clip. Ina sometimes says “good”-anything for strange reasons, I’ve found. She once said Jeff brought her “good arugula”.
The rhetorical “How bad…?” “How good…?” questions grate on me, but I’ve become more unnerved by the constant nervous fake laugh. Did anyone notice how she laughs every time Jeffrey appears? The worst cackler of all, though, is the grating-voiced Sunny. OMG. It never stops. Sunny and the Neely’s are far worse than Ina any day. (Though I like Ina’s recipes more than watching her).
OMG, those rhetorical questions!! “How chocolately is that, already?”
OOPS! “chocolatety”
Heh, wish there was one more ep featuring her gays.
Does her voice ever change pitch?
“Does this oversized shirt make my butt look fat?”
In a “cocktail party” episode that one of Ina’s friends is recording so he can host such a gathering himself, Ina asks, “How do I look?” Every time I’ve seen the show – at least a dozen times – I say out loud to the TV, “You look FAT, Ina!”
CR, I do the same exact thing!
I like Ina. I find her to be kind of grandmotherly. It’s okay for grandmas to wear big shirts and have funny hair, and say the same things over and over.
Yeah, but they usually smell like moth balls.
Mothballs! No way! I’m sure Ina smells of fresh lemon, fresh basil, with hint of good vanilla (dabbed behind her ears, no doubt).
I think most of us would LOVE to have a grandma who cooked like Ina ;)
I love Ina’s cooking, but can’t help but find her style horrendous! And Di, I bet she SO smells like good vanilla!
I agree with Kassondra. I love Ina…pomposity and all. :)
That being said, I wouldn’t sweat the TJ Maxx dipping oil. I think most of us regular folks are okay with ‘good enough’. Just because something is expensive as hell doesn’t mean it’s the greatest.
My family would starve if I refused to serve anything that didn’t have the BEST truffle butter (GACK!), honey, olive oil, chocolate, vanilla, etc, etc. :D
Guy uses his left hand, come on.
He likes to slamma-lamma his ding dong?
Thanks, Scruffy, for the nice coating of tea my screen has now. *grin*
Having seen all those moments on FN prior to the compilation, and seeing her phrases mocked on our site, hell would have to freeze over before Ina Garten becomes “original” and “cliche-free.”
I think they should have added a clip of the duplicate recipes that Ina keeps recycling in different shows. How many times does she have to make “Panzenella salad”, “tarragon Chicken salad” and “chocolate cake with coffee and good vanilla”??? We’re onto you Ina. Get some new recipes.
While Ina proclaims that she “turns up the volume”, there really is very little difference in her redundant cache of recipes on FN and/or in her cookbooks.
Oh, how I love my Ina!
She and Jeffrey are adorable :)
In the spirit of repetitiveness… Sandra Lee’s take on mundane remarks. (Just in case you were overly affected by Ina’s faaaaaaaabulousness.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLMNZ6xY6YY
that was a great clip :) LOL!
Wow, MAC, that video is hilarious! Thanks for posting.
The last thing Ina says on that episode with the tent is something like, if it’s rockin, don’t come knockin. Pure nastiness.
“Pure nastiness.”
Totally scripted ;)
The music on her show definitely would correlate with what supposedly happened in that tent! Excuse me now, I have to go bleach my brain.
I just can’t stand when she’s like ” I have a FEELING that _____ (insert something that’s going to obviously happen)” That just really grates my nerves with her GOOD cheese grater.
so on the episode tonight, she called for GOOD ketchup. i suppose i can understand vanilla and whatnot, but ketchup? really, ina?
They need to do a video of all the times she says “This is how we used to do it at Barefoot Contessa”
“We know how Jeffery is with chicken”
Uh, no, we don’t. . .and we’re not sure we want to.
I remember explicitly the first time I saw an episode of Barefoot Contessa, and I have sworn since then that Ina Garten is a serial killer.
Hilarious! Ina’s always struck me as being one missed-dose of Librium away from being a raging psychopath. Something about that carefully controlled, low monotone voice.
It could be because she favors Kathy Bates in “Misery.”
It’s kinda funny if you watch the end of the Jeffery one, and keep replaying when they cackle to each other.
Use a GOOD rope and a GOOD knife on your unsuspecting victims.
There;s actually some hilarious comments about Jeffrey on the Gawker post…speculation that during the week he’s out torturing folks who our government wants info from… I can see it! There’s also a FNH post listed there as a comment getting rave reviews of course….
Oh, I adore Ina. I want her house, her lifestyle, her circle of friends.
But what I love most is that she’s on FN and she is her own island. You know if she wasn’t so damn popular she’d have been shown the door years ago. Ina is not anorexic, she’s not spray-tanned Oompa-Loompa orange, she doesn’t plaster her name on dozens of sub-par products and she hasn’t been arm-twisted into hosting seven different shows on FN (oh, Alton, what happened to you?)
Nor has she become an alarming caricature of herself (Giada, Paula Deen, the Neelys, etc.) Yeah, she’s repetitive about about quality ingredients but as I think someone already mentioned, she doesn’t get all Martha about it. How often does Martha say “don’t worry about it” if you don’t have some $72 slab of imported cheese to grate up?
The only thing that bugs me about the “good ingredient” thing is that it should be obvious even to Guy Fieri fans that you’d want to start cooking with quality ingredients.
Bravo, Turtle!!
ReallY? You want her house, her lifestyle, AND her circle of friends? OMG, I get the house thing, but, you actually want another person’s circle of friends? Is that a vague cry for help? Seriously.
You’re right on two counts, Ina is not anorexic, and yes, she is her own island. In fact, she probably has her own landing strip, but I digress (eeewww). Ina is not fat, she is borderline morbidly obese, and I don’t find anything appealing about that.
Whenever I can stomach watching her show, and she is cooking for all of her “friends”, which is every episode, I always imagine said friends thinking to themselves, “Oh, here comes fat Ina again, she really needs to get a life and stop shoving food into her face, how pathetic.”
The snobbery amongst her “circle of friends” is so nauseating, that I can’t take more than about 2.5 seconds of her interactions with them.
Yeah, good luck with coveting all that.
I spewed my coffee at “here comes fat Ina again,” Spatuler. It would be fun to know what they’re really thinking: Oh my gosh, not those darned grilled vegetables again! No more lobster mac ‘n’ cheese! We have a peephole, why didn’t you look to see it was Ina with a food basket?!?
Spatuler and Ferd, my thoughts exactly.
Heh, I suppose if you want to be c*nty about it, you could look at it that way. But I was thinking more along the lines of having plenty of money and no real worries and lots of leisure time so that you can cook 20,000-calorie meals for your friends who are coming home from a vacation in France and throw yourself a silly party on the beach in a windstorm and take the day off to film a cameo in your friend’s television show, etc.
Because that’s a giant untapped demographic? The problem with that approach is she can easily come off as an uppity bitch with too much time and money on her hands who’s far too eager to prove how sophisticated and popular she is. When both are debatable.
It’s a fine line.
Justlike Ferry, Ina’s becoming a parody of herself.
Now, I’m the first to admit that some of her recipes look delicious, but she’s just so gosh darn condescending I can’t bring myself to watch her show.
Was Ina Garten really a nuclear policy analyst for the Clinton administration, or is that just an epic error on Wikipedia?
I believe it’s true, Mikey, or at least I know that it’s been said in numerous places–including, if I remember correctly, a FN “Chefography” show on Ina.
How could they leave out “if this tent be rockin’ don’t come a-knockin’” in the 3rd video? That was easily the funniest moment ever on the show.
Please! I’m scarred for life after hearing her utter that line. The image of her and Jeffery bumpin’ bellies is still burned into my consciousness. HELP!!!
I was in a hospital waiting room earlier today and came across a couple of Ina Garten recipes in one of the health magazines. Sure ’nuff, the recipe specified “good” olive oil. What brand is that? Or should I say, “How simple is that?”
[...] tsp. “good vanilla extract” (as Ina would [...]
