Scripps Advertising Fail: Guy Fieri Doing “The Shocker”
Posted on October 12th 2011 by Jillian Madison

‘Tis the season for Scripps to start selling advertising for their holiday programming! And this year, they’re using a photo of Guy Fieri to help them do that.

There’s one little problem, though: Fieri’s making one of the most universally known lewd hand gestures of all time:

Apparently, nothing says “spend your yuletide dollars with us” like Guy Fieri flashing THE FREAKING SHOCKER (wikipedia definition here). Looks like they’re “serving the audience” a little more than they asked for this holiday season.

This is what happens when a bunch of old, clueless white people in suits run a television network. Quickly, all aboard the bus to FAILTOWN, guys.

(Thanks for the tip, Bracken!)

    He has his thumb out, so that makes it ok? I really wish this guy would go away (& take Annee Burrell with him).

      a-men. i’ve tried to like anne, i really have. i love her recipes but her show is so annoying. it’s like watching some kid who’s had too much sugar bouncing around, fidgeting and everything.

      though in her favour, at least she CAN cook. guy just makes food that even tgi friday’s wouldn’t serve.

    …at least he’s very considerately extended his thumb “for her pleasure”? This is pretty terrible… I’d love to see how they spin this one.

    Wikipedia article says that a particular school uses that gesture in the same way he has it (with the thumb out).

    “This is what happens when a bunch of old, clueless white people in suits run a television network. ”

    …and it’s what happens when you give a middle-aged man-child desperately trying to cling to his youth his own shows…. and more. Oh, way too much more.

    That’s not The Shocker. That’s the “Yo come on man” two-finger gesture/gynocology exam, but because of his stupid pinky ring over his knuckle, he can’t bend his pinky down.

    And now you can think of Guy Fieri giving you a pap smear.

    That is just awful

    I do hope that he “de-blings” before attempting such an act with a lady….it’s the only gentlemanly thing to do.

    Oh, as an aside…this seems to be a theme at FN this week! First that lewd pumpkin, now this. FN must be trying to compete with the Playboy Channel.

    Absolutely nauseating. As my late mom used to say whenever she saw Willie Nelson on TV, (a sentiment I DON’T share, BTW) “I wonder if he ever bathes?” More often than Ferry, I’d bet! Clueless old white people like me should never try to be whatever the 2011 word is for “cool”–it never works.

      Old. white folks can be cool.. They can even be AWESOME…. This a-hole took every douche stereotype (arm bands, pinky rings, bowling shirts with flames, etc), threw them in a pile, and rolled around to see what stuck.

      Unfortunately, they ALL stuck, so we’re left with this embarrassing caricature.

    I stopped watching FN because I prefer not to be inadvertently exposed to this dipshit.

    I go online for recipes now… I bought a few books from Michael Smith and Laura Calder. Granted, they are from FN Canada, but both personalities are real and unpretentious.

    You only vibe with recipes from personalities you would want to have dinner with, imo.

    I have your site on my desktop for quick and easy access I enjoy it so much. I can’t think of anyone on television that I dislike seeing more than Guy F. However, all in due respect, your distaste for him is getting tiring. Have you ever heard of beating a dead horse? I like you, and your on target with your opinions ( in my opinion) but I think the time has come for you to show some good taste and give it a rest.. I am not suggesting leaving him alone..I’m just saying I think you have gone into a little bit of a “overkill” mode where he is concerned.. Personally, I don’t like his show or him, so I don’t turn his show on..
