Aarti’s Husband: Talented Actor Or Creepy Weirdo Trying To Ride Her Coat Tails?
 |
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Food Network husbands have become a permanent fixture on the Food Network. Jeffrey’s always sneaking bites of Ina’s food, Michael Groover’s constantly in the corner incoherently mumbling things to Paula Deen, and Rachael Ray can’t even blow her nose without the camera panning to Cusimano’s commentary about it. For a channel that’s supposed to be about food about cooking, it’s totally ridiculous, and these spousal appearances have gotten completely out of hand over the past year or so.
We’ve been inundated with e-mails lately, not just about Aarti, but about her husband as well. As many of you may know, the two of them spent years posting videos of themselves on YouTube in an attempt to be “discovered.” And after watching some of the videos FNH readers told us to check out, we have to say that as annoying as Groover and Cusimano can be, they’re nothing compared to Brendan McNamara, Aarti’s husband – er, excuse me, “husby” as she calls him. Brendan, part-time actor and full time vagabond, conveniently just uploaded “actor reels” on YouTube in an attempt to capitalize on Aarti’s popularity… just a week before she was announced as the NFNS winner! Imagine that! Here’s a snapshot from YouTube. Oh and please note his desperate desire to “get his sweet ass on Saturday Night Live.”
Brad from Austin told us to watch this video of Aarti and Brendan wishing her dad a happy birthday, and said it was just one of many examples of HUSBY acting like a “creepy, self-indulgent, limelight-seeking mediawhore.” Oh Brad. Is it really that bad?
Brad, you’re right. It was that bad. Even when HUSBY got up to let Aarti speak to her dad, he didn’t leave. He stood in the background dancing and making “I gotta go potty” faces. What the hell is wrong with this guy? And how long has it been since his last shower?
And if you have the stomach for it, try sitting through one of his Christian Bible study videos. I’d like to go on record as saying this behavior DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL.
YIKES. We realize it’s early, but we can already see the writing on the wall and would like to crown this guy the “MOST OBNOXIOUS FOOD NETWORK SPOUSE OF 2010.” Because face it: it’s only a matter of time before he starts worming his way onto the Food Network.
That means great news for you, Cusimano! You’re safe until 2011!

OMG! That is SO stupid, it is embarrassing!!! Surely, not even FN would have anything to do with this silly, no-talent hack!
Remember, we ARE talking about the network that gave Sandra Lee not one, but TWO “cooking” shows…
You do make a good point…
I give it less than a year and Aarti is gonna dump this loser. Hello Divorce court.
What a couple of flagrant asses. Of course this video is all BS, but who would even to pretend to talk to a senior this way. I hope if they are really talking to him (Aarti’s dad) he takes them both out right away so he can spare us from having to ever lay eyes on them again. I will definitely not watch this FNS.
I was very uncomfortable with the bizarre insults made to Aarti’s dad. I actually cringed several times as they made their stupid, faux-jokey comment.
Yikes. What is up with all the “you’re so horribly old” really-not-that-funny jokes?
Wow, that is really…yeah.
It’s funny, when I watch him talking to the screen/video-tape like that, it’s like watching a muppet. (Like one of the Muppets in Aarti’s videos) He just looks that way by how his lips are flapping within all that unkempt hair of his. XD
Yeah I noticed his wierd jaw movements too. It really looks like he’s high on blow. I think he might have gum in his mouth too, but I’m 90% sure he did a line shortly before this video was made.
OMG, I read that as ‘gun in his mouth’ and I was starting to think I missed a very telling part of the video!
I had to shut it off after about a minute.
I agree 100% with the blow theory, did you notice how often he kept sniffing during the Christian video? That is most definitely a coke sniff, for a coke sniff is a confident and cocky sniff.
Definitely looks like he’s high on coke. What a freakjob. Creepy bastard reminds me of Jim Jones.
I can’t figure out why bathing/grooming is so out of style with these guys. It’s like I’ve said before in regard to Duff and Company, they all look like they need a scrubbing with a stiff-bristled brush and a HepC test.
I think it’s appropriate for an Indian-Hipster to fall in love with another hipster.
I don’t know–I think she just felt sorry for him, as I can’t imagine ANYBODY being remotely attracted, EVER, to…that.
Oh dear… that is… special.
What horrible horrible trolls. Indeed, you are safe this year John. And maybe even Rachael too. Shudder.
With the teeth grinding, I would say, “GET MORE METH AND SHOWER!!!”
Can’t believe how narcissistic this guy can be! Every 5 seconds trying to catch a glimpse of his pompous self. C’mon, do you really have to chew gum when supposedly talking to you FIL – show some respect you a-hole. This guy makes Cusimano look like a British gentleman.
Seriously!
What passes for humor these days, I just don’t understand … hope I never see his face again.
And FN host making rude “old” jokes about her father – so classy, not :(
Dear God, the last thing that the FN needs is *another* creepy, no-talent spouse popping up in every other episode. That, combined with the network’s shift from food to “entertainment” and pimping out it’s stable of manufactured celebrities is enough to make me stop watching altogether (which I guess I pretty much have done already seeing as how the only shows I watch anymore are Ina, Anne and Alton).
All of this is disturbing. I only watch Chopped, Alton, and challenges. I DVR those. If I need a recipe, I find it easier to just search the site or see what versions the host is offering. I do not spend large amounts of time online, so I appreciate this site..
If I received this from a child, relative, etc…I would seriously contemplate disowning them….DEAR…GOD…KILL…THEM…NOW!
By the way, what self-respecting Uber-Christian DOESN’T know who Methuselah was? Hell, I’m Catholic, we don’t read the Bible much, and I know who Methuselah was!
This stood out to me, too, ADITL! That little moment was very revealing. She’s a big phony. LOL!
He’s trying so hard to be funny and failing at it!!! Who tells someone to blow on a scented candle for their birthday. Geez at least buy a crappy grocery store cake with a candle on it, he’s your Dad for pete’s sake.
He looks like a cult member. Color me scared.
Have you seen his Bible Study videos? Really, REALLY DISTURBING! Just try sitting through the first awkward minute of this one!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwhOo3q86BQ
Seriously, was he high when he made it? Is that a part of their religion?
ACK! Whattttttt the eff was that? I’m mortified and a little bit terrified. That video needs to be seen by as many people as possible. I’m going to add it to this post.
Thanks, Jillian. I’ll see if I stomach any more of those vids. And no, I have no problem with their faith. It’s his strange interpretation of The Bible, and his seemingly flippant attitude toward it, that baffle and disturb me.
Holy @#%$! WTF was THAT!?!? I’m an epileptic and I’m not that twitchy!! As a fairly devout, churchgoing Christian, I have attended innumerable sermons and Bible studies, but I had ABSOLUTELY no idea what lesson this moron was trying to get across, and I have the distinct feeling neither did he. And, by the way, what was with the constant sniffing? He truly scared me when he leaned close and confided, “Sometimes I think God has too many names. (Long pause). But I assume He has just enough…”
But I did love the phrase, “Much of what we do on this earth amounts to nothing.” Wonder if he got the irony there?
Lmao, have you guys seen the comment on that one? Priceless!
“I’d like to smack you in the face with my Psalm. Then I’d sprinkle some cumin on you and call it Indian!”
his sweet ass couldn’t even get on Mad TV. SNL kind of sucks now, but it would have to hit new lows lower than pond scum to get this guy on
That was not remotely funny…it was just stupid…I really don’t get what they are trying to do…
I don’t have kids, but if I did, and I received that, I would have immediately dis-inherited her. As for the husband, my IMMEDIATE reaction was that I would not be remotely surprised if he winds up in jail (like Juan Carlos Cruz). Disgusting, the pair of them!!
For some reason, he reminds me of David Koresh, of the infamous Branch Davidians in Waco Texas. **shudder**
Just waitin to see some hand grab that guy by his vagabond throat.
I saw 1/4 of her youtube cooking show posted on FNH but I didn’t realize the homeless man in her apartment is her husband. Gross!
Hate ‘em! Oh wait, that wasn’t a question…
I wouldn’t recommend this wannabe comedian for MadTV let alone SNL. His “reel” was atrocious. He has 3 speeds: Baked, Idiotic, and Twice-Baked. Just terrible.
Amen to that. I know kids in junior high who are more creative and able to improvise. This guy just gives me the willies.
Creepy Weirdo. Or, at the least, Desperate Weirdo. I think he and Guy would be good friends. Birds of a feather, and all that.
Is Brad from austin, brad sorenson?
The same thought crossed my mind.
Me too.
Brad, where r u?
Maybe I’m out of touch with YouTube culture, but why did they post this for public consumption? If you want to send a silly video to your dad – knock yourself out. But why would you want the world to see it?
What the hell is wrong with his god damn jaw? The crackie force is strong in this one.
Evidently Husby got his acting credentials from the “Spaztastic School of Thespianism.”
Uh, yeah. Watching a dead cat decompose is more entertaining than that video.
Sorry Husby.
He definitely looked a little more cleaned up when he appeared on NFNS even though he was wearing that strange shirt with the stars, that was nothing. There’s a pic of him up now on Aarti’s blog and the outfit he is wearing is just beyond words.
Yeah I don’t get this guy, he dresses strangely and is just goofy to me and seems like an attention hog. They say love is blind…
The shirt with the stars, it looks like Evel Knievel’s son had a yard sale…is this really the way he thought he’d “dress up”? What normal person wants to look like the American flag outside a 4th of July parade?
The guy is a total freak. And media whore is probably the most accurate term to describe him. He is probably freaking out that Aarti is in the spotlight instead of him.
The “acting reel” was one of the most G-dawful things Ive ever been unfortunate enough to witness.
So these two were just out of work schlubs posting their stupid videos on youtube and now suddenly Aarti is a Food Network star? Wow, Food Network really will give anyone a show wont they.
I also noticed how poor Aarti’s knife skills were in her YouTube videos. Looks like someone had to take a crash course on how to be a television chef.
This guy is a freak! I feel dirty looking at him. If he starts appearing on my TV I will puke.
I would like to know why her name is Aarti Sequoia or whatever. If they are married, shouldn’t her name be Aarti McNamara? Or she didnt’ want to take that freak’s name?
Wait, wait…women can keep their names after marriage? Color me shocked.
yeah, as a woman I refuse to change mine
Guys this wasn’t intended as a debate or some sort of feminist rebuttal. 90% of women who marry keep their name.
I think maybe on paper she’s Aarti McNamara but she uses Sequiera to express that’s she’s India, that’d be like Giada using Thompson, I mean does it really sound that Italian?
90% of women who marry keep their name? Um, where the hell did you get that statistic?! I think it’s more like 15%, if it’s even that high.
Sequiera is Portuguese. Until now, I just figured the husby was a Portagee and she took his name. So, she’s Indian/Portagee raised in Dubai? Okey dokey…
@Jill; I got the percentage from a site, maybe it was out dated, Idk it was the only one I read
@potty mouth princess; So Bren’s last name is Sequiera? And she took his name? Where the fuck does “McNamara” come from then?
I kept my maiden name…been married 22 years. DH is not a freak nor does he have a weird name.
So did my sister and SIL.It’s not that uncommon.
Giada and Rachael use maiden names.
All that said, man that guy is the king of the skeezes.
What an insufferable couple. I hope this somehow gets her removed from food network.
When FN is late to the party and always trying to create their own ripoff, er, version of some other channel’s popular show, it doesn’t surprise me in the least that they now have their own version of Spencer and Heidi.
So does this mean Chelsea Handler now has “Herpes 3″ and “Herpes 4″ to mock?
Sorry, I heard a mention of Speidi somewhere… ;-)
Weirdest video I’ve seen in awhile. And seriously, people, if you’re going to make old jokes about your parental unit, they need to be actually funny. If I were her dad, I’d be afraid her “husby” was on crack or something.
This is only the tip of the iceberg of weird:
Here they’re apparently trying out for news anchor jobs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wg5K_M_TlI&feature=related
Good thing they didn’t audition American Idol. The way she looks at him is creepy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6q64IEl2bA&feature=related
Aside from that hideous dress she’s wearing in the second video, I noticed Aarti isn’t wearing shoes. Seriously, what the hell?
Ooooh, I noticed that in the first video he pronounced his
name Brendan MacNamahhhra. Maybe he visited Aahti when she was in Dubai and picked up a bit of the accent.
OMG he reminds me of Charles Manson in this video….
It’s like Hobo Jaoquin Phoenix and Creeper Jim Carrey had a mentally handciapped hipster baby . . . .
The screen shot makes me want to know absolutely nothing more about the dude.
The whole thing with them both seems like a shameless famewhoring like the White House crashers. And FN is either too stupid or sly like a fox. Most evidence points to FN being stupid.
Hey, FN Humor, if y’all were wondering why creepy husband Brendan is butting in, here’s your answer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkpZKaQOa7s
CREEPY! He believes it’s his Biblical, god-given role to “provide leadership” in his marriage with Aarti, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if that “leadership” now involves “guidance” with her new FN career. Long story short, don’t be surprised if we see A LOT more Brendan McNamara in the future.
Gawd I just saw the 2nd video of Mr. Aarti & his Christian Broadcasting Network – dressed in wifebeater, no less. I can almost smell him through the screen.
He must have her brainwashed, or something.
Unbelievable – unless it’s all some giant joke of his/theirs, like the Joaquin Phoenix thing?
I’m still trying to wrap my head around all this. Does he even realize that god may not approve of his attitude? (And really, is he high when he makes these?) And that he’s not the final authority on what The Bible actually means?
What is that saying I see on bumper stickers and such now and then…. something like, “God save me from your followers”, or something to that effect. Certainly applies here.
I got your leadership right here, Mr. Skeezoid. Let me guide you to it.
Any last lingering bonds I may have felt to Christianity slipped away during the first 10 seconds of that tweaker’s video. And I am scarred for life by his flabby biceps and armpit hair. *shudder*
The spawn of Manson… be it Charlie or Marilyn. Be afraid…very afraid.
Holy cocaine, Batman… they are COKED out in that birthday video!
Aarti looks less like a civilized product of the ‘empire’ with her accent and manners, and more like an silly-minded opportunist with a jack-ass husband pushing her forward.
And yeah, FN, keep the spouses behind closed doors; I find Rachel Ray and her diminutive husband especially annoying both dining out on your dime – let him pay for his own damn dinner.
Maybe he could find work as the Notre Dame leprechaun.
Bren has delusions of adequacy. I checked out the SNL “audition” YouTube and couldn’t get past 1:45. He’s positively shiteous. This guy has less talent than Cusimano – and that’s saying something. If Hollywood remakes “Down and Out in Beverly Hills”, the ‘lil mister would be great as the disconsolate bum.
Husby’s “SNL reel” was face-meltingly bad. He makes Dane Cook look like George Carlin by comparison! He couldn’t even get laughs out of easy targets like “Speidi”. His Devendra Banhart impersonation was good for a chuckle, only because it was “so stupid, it’s funny”. This “SNL reel” was Stupidity with No Laughs.
What a boring looking, disconnected couple! She comes off so classy and hifalutin with that fake ass British accent and her man looks as if he sleeps below the subway. Yuck! I could imagine him at one of Pinnochio Tushman’s shindigs. Oh the horror!
I agree they’re disconnected but I think that Aarti must be so annoying and insecure, this is the only guy who would stand for her whiny bullshit.
Actually, a lot of abusive guys do a number on their partners by making them feel insecure and unworthy of positive attention…
that would explain a lot about Aarti’s exaggerated reactions when her food was well-received.
I’ll be having nightmares tonight. Please please FN, do not let this creature out of his cage and onto the air. For humankind’s sake. In fact if you destroy him, I bet the coke market would plummet.
they are so stoned
WHAT. THE. EFF. IS. THIS. D:
Bring back Brad or Tom, please. This guy looks like Charles Manson and sounds like Jim Jones/David Koresh.
My first thought when watching these videos was that he acts like Spencer Pratt….blah ha ha.
Note to Brendan: might be time to get yourself to a reputable cosmetic dentist and redo your teefs so you don’t look like you went to WalMart for your veneers.
i cant put into words how awful and unfunny this shitty video is, the two of them are so unwatchable, no chemistry whatsoever… completely horrifying
and the coke jaw is definitely in action here
wow he looks a lot different than when he made an appearance on the next food network star…
Did anyone notice the niffing????? In his “bible study” video he sniffs like every 2 seconds. Who the hell got what he was supposedly teaching in that one? I go to a LOT of bible studies, and I have no idea what he was talking about. What a giant tweeker. What happens when they have to go to some FN shindig and he acts like this?! Holy Cow batman.
sniffing* sorry everyone. I was still shell shocked by the video.
kinda like “niffing”. Define it as “drug related sniffing”
Wow, Charley. I’m a little disappointed that a fellow Christian would fall so very much judgment on a man you’ve (I’m only guessing and please forgive me if not true) never met. I watched a couple of his Devotionals. All I saw was a man THINKING about the Bible in a conversation based way. And no, he does not look like your average Christian and who cares. Are you really willing to judge a book by it’s cover so quickly? In any event, I hope I haven’t offended you, just thought I’d try and hold down the side of acceptance and understanding.
Blessings,
Adam K.
Well Here’s the deal Adam. I don’t like him, I think he’s a creepy fame whore who is throwing himself at the Aarti bandwagon. These two have been shopping themselves around the internet for a while, being whoever they think someone wants to see.
IMO, bible study is to help people understand a passage/verse. To do that you have to grasp the subject. I do not think he does. What he gives you is a bunch of worthless drabble because he likes to hear himself talk. It’s one thing to discuss something and another to ramble on and on about nothing. You came away no more enlightened than when you started watching.
You need to get a life, let me have my opinion and post yours elsewhere. If you come to a site like this and expect love and adoration about these hacks, you need a reality check.
P.S. It’s easy to preach acceptance and love when you are a nameless, faceless person. Let me and my actions be accountble to someone higher and more important than you.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Kill it with fire!
Good Grief, what was that!!! This guy is a meth/downer induced poster child for Charles Manson. Hide your knives and run run run.
Christfuck…I think I’m gonna go throw myself down a flight of stairs.
Please do that.
I am so saddened by the mean-spiritedness shown here. I actually know the PERSON you are all quick to judge here. The first word that comes to mind when I think of Brendan is “kind”. He is also one of the most generous souls I’ve ever met. He and Aarti have a beautiful marriage and they would be the first to help a friend (or a stranger) if needed. Brendan has been posting videos ALMOST DAILY for YEARS. He has shown lifelong dedication to his passion and even if you aren’t a fan of it, you should know that he works harder than most people. He would also NEVER post a cruel word about someone on a forum. And by the way, the birthday video was clearly a joke. They have a great relationship with their parents.
I would not call it mean-spiritedness. How about reality. This guy is a bit off and creepy. His mannerisms are scary;it may be a “show” for him, but for us not quite right. First impressions are lasting.
You’re right dee, my impression of you is that you are a sad, sad, sad little person… Am I right? I must be because “First impressions are lasting”. Amazing!
I don’t give a rat’s ass how great their marriage is, or how kind he is. He’s still a talentless dumbass.
The thing is, now that he, by extension of Aarti, is going to be getting more exposure, you’ll be seeing more and more of this, Brigitte. I’d imagine that when he dwelled in relative obscurity not many other than his friends and fan club watched his videos, and, as you can imagine, critical assessments were not made on him. So, what I’m saying here is, gird your loins for the coming storm. What you are seeing here could likely just be the tip of the iceberg.. unless Aarti’s show is a flop, she’s canceled, and they slink back into their pre-TNFNS oblivion. Other people are going to see his personality and behavior quite differently.
Don’t freaking upload 95 billion videos to YouTube if you can’t take criticism. PERIOD, THE END.
Amen to that! :D
When I read your post, Brigitte, some questions came to mind, but I have a sneaking suspicion they weren’t the ones you intended: namely, his passion for WHAT, exactly? And yes, the birthday video was clearly a joke, but a joke on who? And I maintain that even though I’m an epileptic, I’m not as twitchy as he was in his Bible study video. Explain that, please.
You seem to be talking out of both sides of your mouth. Your earlier posts are very judgmental. Now you are wanting clarification. What if he has a neurological disorder? What is he has severe allergies? What if he is a drug addict? You have such a judgmental tone about these people. You may want to go back to the age old, “What would Jesus do?”. Do you think he would sit there talking trash or do you think he would try and get to know the person. Yeah, he’d do the opposite you’ve done. Faith Fail.
Who are you to declare a faith fail, when you don’t know @SaraCVT or what her faith is or entails? WWJD holds very little water for the two-thirds of the world’s population who don’t believe in good ol’ JC.
Can the Aarti support group get the fuck out of here, this is a satire site, I doubt Jill is going to nicely and politely point out his quirks, the guy does seem creepy, and he might be a nice guy, who knows
The Aarti Defense Force sure is high-strung.
He’s coked out…definitely.
>>>>Brendan has been posting videos ALMOST DAILY for YEARS.
Maybe Brendan NEEDS to get a LIFE.
Maybe Brendan is not willing to compromise his faith based on your discomfort and insecurity.
I’m sure Charles Manson didn’t want to compromise his faith either…
Bottom line: once you post your videos in a public place you become a public person and should expect to receive criticism whether you like it or not. No one is loved by everyone – any rational, sober, non self-indulging person understands that.
I’d be a lot more willing to listen if the guy:
1) Stopped scratching his beard on tape. Seriously, pause the camera, scratch, and then press record again.
2) Stopped sniffing on camera. Get a tissue!
3) Thought about what he wanted to say before he started to film himself. He’s not very good at improv.
To add to my last comment, he might be a great guy, but his manners are atrocious.
You know that’s a lot of mean stuff going towards a guy who seems super supportive of his wife. He’s quirky and I was laughing a lot. Well, you all took time out of your day to say something mean so I’m gonna say something nice. You’re a funny guy and you must make Aarti smile alot! Keep up the positivity man.
Yeah, supportive by supplying her with “leadership” as if she were a four year old.
HATE HATE HATE the concept that women de facto need a man’s guidance.
The fact that I’m responding to this is almost as disheartening and self-loathe-inducing than the fact that I even wasted a minute reading this tripe. Why even write this “article?” Oh wait – it’s a blog – right – code for “mind-melting drivel”. But it’s your constitutional right to have an opinion and voice it – just as it’s Brendan’s to be who he is and not have to answer to a stone-throwing, uninformed peanut-gallery. Why all the hate and judgment, people? Oh – that’s right – because it’s much easier to find fault in others and project negativity into the world than it is to work on one’s own problems or look for positivity in the world. Criticism is one thing – but unbridled, zealous, unprovoked hatred is just shameful.
If this is a “humor” sight, then how about writing something HUMOROUS – not defamatory, insensitive and blatantly hurtful. I happen to know Brendan – he’s not my brother or best friend or anything, but I know him – and I know this much about him: he’s a good guy, a genuine guy, an intelligent guy, a spirited guy, a thoughtful guy, and yes – GOD-FORBID – a unique guy . . . unlike you so-called “fans” (aka sheep) who have been conditioned by our tabloid culture to mindlessly star-f*ck until the media orders you to tear them apart, only to build them back up again when it makes YOU feel good.
A week ago, none of you gave a sh*t about Aarti – but OF COURSE now that she’s got a TV show, you purport to know with whom she should be in love, and dictate how they should behave?!? Bottom line: She loves her husband and he loves her. Period. What else is there to talk about?!? If she weren’t on TV, you wouldn’t even care who she were married to – so get a life and go fix your own broken relationship or find a healthy one of your own. Odds are if you were in one, you’d be happy for them – not ripping them apart.
With any luck, you’ll wreck the lives of two very kind, perfectly happy people. Be proud, you bottom-feeding scum of the earth.
Feel better? Good. Now STFU.
You’re right, a week ago we didn’t give a fuck about Aarti. But we didn’t give a fuck about her the week before that, or in June when the show first started.
But you have alot of fucking nerve criticizing people who don’t lap up every little things two obvious FAME-WHORES put out there. Wreck their lives? Their lives were already wrecked if they pay any attention to stuff like this anyway. If you’re Googling yourself and trying to find what the people say, you’re already fucked. And it’s very plainly obvious the both of them want any and all attention they can get. People who don’t want attention don’t flood YouTube. Or create a blog. Or audition for a reality competition show. Or comment that they want to be on SNL. Catching on yet?
You know the guy. Good for you. Don’t care. Either you buy into the same warped attitude they do that thinks that exposure=adulation or you don’t know them nearly as well as you think you do.
Don’t want your marriage and your persona criticized? Don’t record it like we give a fuck. Normal, logical, smart people smell bullshit. Aarti smells like shit, and it’s just just because of some quasi-Indian food.
But you obviously give a fuck.
Thanks Adam. It’s one thing to dislike someone’s acting ability & express why you don’t like it but some of these things being said are so cruel & not true. I refuse to even defend him because it isn’t even worth it with these people.
You guys are the ones that need the shower.
Oh, please. They’re “famous” now, even if only in a very limited way. With the fame comes the attention, both positive and negative. If it gets your panties in a bunch this much, you’re going to be walking funny for a very long time. Grow thicker skins, oh disciples of the Aarti Paarti Aarmi. You’re going to need them. We’re not all going to fall in a line of fawning worship of these two. Especially not him.
Also, get a frakking clue. What site are you visiting, nitwit? Take a look around. Pretty much everyone on the Food Network is up for some snark here. Those who are good sports about it (Anne Burrell, Alton Brown, even Melissa for pity’s sake) earn some respect. It’s those who take themselves too seriously, who are too full of themselves, which seem to receive the most ridicule. Will Aarti be among this group?
Charles Manson’s followers loved him too…
By the way, for someone trying to pull such a long winded argument you should know that is ” humor site”, not “humor sight”… maybe your time should be better spent browsing some fourth grade grammar book.
Dear Aarti Defense Force,
That’s the best you’ve got?
Try harder.
Sincerely,
Everyone.
Pretty easy shouting shit from the bushes, eh fuck-face? If you had one OUNCE the creativity that either one of those genuine people had, you wouldn’t be saying shit. The only people who talk this much garbage are no talent ass-clowns who spend the majority of their day online tearing other people down. The fact that your sorry ass has to role itself out of bed EVERY SINGLE MORNING and go stare itself in the mirror makes me shudder. You like to run your mouth about other people who dare to be different because you are profoundly average and you feel it in every painful moment of your bland existence. You talk shit because you are shit. Wildly average, never amount to anything, dog shit in human form… now go run along and write something you can congratulate yourself about later. Fucking cunt.
You know you for being holier-than-though you Aarti Aarmi folk are sure mean spirited. Not once in a post did anyone use “cunt” or “dog shit” or any of the nasty things you said. Get over yourself. The majority of people on this site check it once or twice a day, read the article, have a laugh and MOVE ON. We don’t go on Aarti’s site and trash her so why would you even bother coming here and making a fool out of yourself? Real cute…swearing makes us so afraid! We better not say mean things or we will hurt someones feelings.
And unlike this Brendan fellow most of us have jobs which we go to every day not posting shitteous videos on Youtube in hopes of “making it big.” I feel nothing bad about the fact that I don’t have a crappy show on FN and I’ve amounted to plenty.
Wow, this is getting downright nasty–but you know, sticks and stones…
Zandy, AKA Adam , AKA Brendan–Twelve Step, Buddy. Twelve Step.
You need help, don’t have a wasted life. Stop punching doors and start living life!
What a Christian attitude you have there. 13 words sets you off like that, or was it my post earlier? Either way, whatever god you believe in is ashamed of you right now Zandy.
Pretty pathetic. Par for the course from the ADF.
Zandy — Pop over to your nearest 7-11. I bet they sell Orbit gum there.
Aw, now don’t you feel bad, Scruffy?
Let me check….nope. I have a good shit-eating grin and got a good laugh out of it though.
This guy scares the crap out of me. He needs to calm the eff down and take some acting classes
Ok, I’ve been reading this blog over a year now, and Jillian, you are one funny bitch. Seriously, between this and pophangover, I’ve wasted too much time. So, long time lurker, first time poster.
With that said, i just had to throw in that I am also an Indian woman married to a white guy and if I you tubed a message to my father like that,
A. I would never insult him about his age. Seriously?
B. If my husband acted like that, he’d (my dad) be on the first plane to the u.s. to make sure I wasn’t doing amphetamines.
C. He would be mortified by the husband’s appearance and would probably hide that video so friends/family would never be able to see it
This thread sure has taken a nasty turn, and guess whose followers took us there?
Can’t handle a little heat, lol?
LOL. “wat” the fuck are you talking about?
What heat? LMAO
I didn’t say I couldn’t “handle” it, I was just lamenting the fact that we had gone there. Usually it doesn’t get this dark around here–it’s a humor site, DUH.
Check out some of the other videos “husby” and his previous sweety made. I guess this guy serves some good stuff as everyone in all these videos have the same sound and look-a bit too spaced-out.
If he spends all of his time playing comedian/televangelist, I would hate to think that all of us are supporting him with welfare and food stamps…..Get off the dope and get a real job.
I couldn’t watch the videos in their entirety. It was just way too disturbing. I’m thinking about buying stock in mental hospitals. Seriously.
These two motherfuckers need to be shot. That is about the sickest shit I’ve ever seen in my life. So much for me ever watching stupid ass Aarti Party again. My God!
yuck! i could not stand to watch these two pass off their videos as some kind of humor. I cannot stand the husband with his ugly undershirt , at least please look like you took a shower and combed your hair.. i hate the scruffy look when its just messy (there is a nice scruffy look which can be appealing on some men, but this dude aint one of em). i also saw aarti’s fake news videos.. i suppose she was trying to be a star of You Tube and get noticed one day, looks like it worked. i just happened to catch one of her fake news videos and she was so serious. she must think she is a star. I could not watch more than a minute of the not-funny attempt at humor. ick.
Terrific I see that I have the same red tee shirt. I liked it. Too bad I have to go and throw it out now…
PS. What a complete frickin tool!!!
I watched today’s episode of Aahhhti Paahhty. (missed last weeks) And the show was sort of ok, too much giggling and all in all sort of boring. But I didn’t pick too much of a condescending attitude (sugar is sweet, etc) that so many complained about last week.
But a few details nagged at me and reinforced my thought that
Aahti is one HUGE phoney. I noticed on her blog she pushed these gluten free pretzels that she grounds up and uses as a coating. Supposedly she is aflicted with celiac and so has to avoid gluten. One of of the videos I watched on her blog she made curried popcorn, explaining that she is lactose intolerant and so substituted curry and cumin (what else????) to add flavor to replace the missing butter.
Ok, fine , many people have these disorders and the celiac, in particular is very difficult to work around.
But on todays’s show she made “huggy buggy bread pudding” Would you eat something with that name?????? I wouldn’t. Also she stuffed her chicken breasts with butter. OK Aahhti, would about your food disorders????? Are they in the same category as your accent, something just used to get attention and have people thinking how brave you are?
She gobbled down some of the chicken and added a scoop of ice cream to her disgusting bread pudding (actually the pudding didn’t look that bad but the name remains gross).
So whats the deal with your celiac and lactose intolerance.
Phoney, I say.
Agree! My daughter (who has celiac) and I both went WHAT?!?! On her personal website she has a whole article about her break-up with gluten, and in fact, she mentions the same bread pudding and why she doesn’t eat it. Nobody with celiac would even consider taking a bite of bread pudding, so either she’s lying on her website, or on FN. Either way, I’m disgusted. If she is in fact allergic, why not mention it on her show? A lot of celiacs still cook gluten food without eating it, why can’t that be metioned?
“she made “huggy buggy bread pudding” ”
She and Guy are going to have a love child. I just know it.
She also made “I ain’t chicken chicken” and “Ugly duckling salad” (no duck involved, she named it that because she considers celery root ugly) God help us if your prediction comes true.
Oh for the love of…!
OK, her annoying giggle has to stop and the (supposedly) cutesy dish names have to stop.
Aw, hell, at this point Aarti must be stopped. Stop her before she kills (good taste) again!
Picture in your mind a cookbook with all these stupid names for these recipes. Does the book go on the shelf with other cookbooks or is it found in the children’s section for use with the EZ Bake ovens?
How’s that for marketing, FN? Looks like another winner…put it right next to Ole Pauller’s cast iron dutch oven at Big Lots.
I watched one of her episodes of Aarti Paarti and it showed her eating her lactose pill to allow her to eat dairy products.
Dear Aarti Defense Force,
Your efforts to try harder haven’t gone so well. If you are going to invade another site that disagrees with your warped perspective, make it more interesting for us. Let me point you to my series of YouTube videos drawing attention to myself in such an obvious manner. Oh, wait, I don’t have any…
Hugs, Kisses, Fenugreek, and Naan!
Scruffy
You forgot the cardamom, Scruffy! ;)
I would rather just not give these two fame-whores the attention they seek. That’s a punishment far worse than “taking them out”.
This was actually in reply to Sarah CVT.
Agreed.
Kinda puts the “fanatic” back in the phrase “fanatic fundamentalist.”
.)
I came in very late on this post and forced myself to watch the videos. Wow, hubs is truly horrifying and Aarti is the Next Food Network Star? Did anyone at Food Network watch all of her YouTube nonsense before she was selected to appear on the show? I am just stunned.
Sadly, I think we know the answer.
He looks like a cross between a young Christopher Lloyd and David Koresh. YIKES!
So, wait Aarti is a famewhore but the other NFNS contestants are not?
You know, that’s a good point–but I don’t think you’re going to like the answer….
Gary Busey, anyone?
Did anyone notice how good-looking he was when he was on the episode of NFNS where the contestants’ family came to visit? I was like, “Holy crap, how did Aarti get such a hot guy” and my boyfriend was like, “Maybe she’s really nice or something” and now I see this shit?! They really cleaned him up to be on NFNS! Poor, poor Aarti’s dad.
I still thought he looked bad on FN
I agree, FatCat. Scary bad, even cleaned up. Those eyes couldn’t be hidden and that stupid shirt screamed insane asylum.
The shirt he wore at that time was bizarre. To me, he looked like he came straight from the trailer park in some backwoods Kentucky town.
In reference to the posted videos, I would like to add, “Holy Mother of God!”.
I couldn’t tell if he was serious or not in that last video, but I do know I was highly disturbed by the time it ended. and the hell was going on in the first one? how could she let him sit there and insult her father in a lame dry attempt at being funny? shes just so phony it’s sicking, how she got on FN is still beyond me but I guess since it’s already mucked up with phony pretentious losers they can make room for one more lack luster wanna be, with a psycho attention whore.
He’s fallen a long way since being a member of the Spin Doctors
I’m a-feared.
I like her..shes a sweetheart. I guess none of you have ever really met actors? They are just out of this world. I have friends like that who are by profession ‘actors’ It is the very reason I love them. They are whacky. So much negativity. No one complains about how odd the actors we watch everyday are. If he was on SNL acting crazy like this people call it entertainment. Relax… lol.
Just watch out for any Kool-Aid recipes she gives on the show….
Is it just me or is he on drugs? Nose candy does wacky things….
One word: COCAINE.
This man is obviously doing a lot of it.
