Also I figure I might as well show off the autopsy I did of the Pizza Bake, since that thing was a horror show if you like pizza related things:
1. The robotic voice Jack shoved in the intro is still just messing with my head. It just comes out of nowhere and there doesn’t seem to be a non-sane reason why it exists.
2. Jack opens this video by specifically explaining how Tammy forced him into making this for his vanity project of a show. You can see his fake smile, but the raised voice tells you he didn’t really want to make this himself.
2b. I strongly suspect it’s more due to how he absolutely hates and is terrified of not being able to eat all the food he wants combined with being told what to do.
3. Jack actually does warn people that he’s going to have Tammy cook off screen for him, err, he’s going to brown the “meat” off screen for time’s sake.
3b. You can really tell he doesn’t want to show just how fucked he is from the stroke; since he’s making all this effort to hide how he struggles to stand and can’t cook really anymore.
4. Woah that’s a hard cut to the ingredients! I didn’t expect that, but I guess he couldn’t be fucked to do his usual fade-cuts.
5. Looking at the ingredients, it’s mostly not too bad. He’s using pre-made dough, shreddy mozzarella, mild sausage that’s caseless interestingly, a big bag of Hormel pepperoni, Rotel tomatoes with green chiles, a Vidalia onion, tomato paste for no good reason, and Rao Sauce.
5b. My biggest gripes are with his sauce picks and the Rotel. It’s already stupid that he’s making this essentially a pasta sauce, since there’s no real reason to actually do something like thicken it with tomato paste. But the sauce is really where he shows how food insecure and a cunt he is.
5c. So he doesn’t actually show what variant of Rao’s sauce he’s using but I know he prefers the Arrabiata sauce. For those wondering, that’s a spicy sauce that is based on the tomato sauces native to Calabria. What doesn’t help is that the Rotel stuff has green chiles in it too; meaning it too adds heat. So he’s again making this too hot for his wife, solely so he can eat TWO OF THEM since you can see the awful silicone pans he’s gonna use.
6. “Rayos, love this stuff”; Jack unironically pronounces it that. It’s as dumb as when he said Calzoney. Another fun moment was him trying to remember if he tried to sneak in a spicy batch of sausage to fuck Tammy over.
7. He’s again using oil when he’s browning sausage, which is designed to be very fatty. It’s also telling he’s just blending all this slop together as well. Maybe the recipe he stole does the same thing. Who knows.
8. Haha, Jack actually is putting in the onion in first. This is correct since vegetables always take longer than proteins to properly cook and react to the flavor.
8b. Also noticed Tammy might’ve found the slap-chop or something since they are shockingly fine for Jack. Still a wee bit thick for pizza stuff, but still.
9. Ah yes Jack, season the pre-seasoned sausage and rotel slop. Ignore the variety of spices already native to the meat. So how did he stroke out? WAIT THAT MUCH SODIUM?!
9b. Also noting he overcrowded the pan with sausage and onions before dumping in the Rotel and isn’t letting the oil run off. Also those onions aren’t goddamn cooked. Fucking melon.
10. It then jump cuts to the fucking ugliest prison slop I ever dun saw. It’s actually reminding me of some of Jack’s uglier chilis it’s that bad.
11. You don’t really need two “flaps” to hang over Jack. Anyways he then slings in the piping hot prison slop into the flaps, creating an abomination to God, Italy, and Mexico at the same time for making an abomination burrito at this stage.
12. And Jack’s massively overstuffing this thing with the slop. Of course. I imagine the reptile brain in his head is just gurgling “MEAT MEAT MORE MEAT PRECIOUS” like Gollum in the middle of ODing on Heroin.
13. Oh fuck me of course he’s making the worst take of a calzone or Stromboli ever. I just realized what the hell he’s doing here.
13b. So let’s go into how to fix this. Firstly don’t use fucking Raosauce and paste to make hell spaghetti sauce. Make a proper pizza sauce that you lightly paste internally for hydration.
13c. You then use more cheese than you do meat and veg, since this is supposed to be more like a calzone or Stromboli I think. Also seriously, you only need like a dash of pepperoni and then a bit of sausage/onions to make this shine.
14. Jack thinks the plural of pepperoni is pepperonis. I cannot even right now.
14b. What’s way worse is he’s shoving like a whole fucking layer of pepperoni in a sheet. This thing’s already a greasetrap from the prison slop; it doesn’t need more slop.
14c. Seriously, he’s going to destroy his toilet and ree when this thing solidifies in the pan or in his guts.
15. Oh god, it’s the fusion of a baked ziti/lasagna and a Stromboli. This isn’t Cronenbird levels yet, but a Lucio Fulci equivalent in terms of food horror.
16. Lol it’s on the second layer and the glutton already completely filled it over. How horrifying.
17. This is an anti-pizza as far as I’m concerned. It’s like if you had HP Lovecraft try to terrify you using gastronomy since there’s just something innately wrong with the whole.
18. Jack comments on how much more cheese you can put into this atrocity; I can tell he’s slightly sad that he can’t put more and that it’s due to how small the horrendous Silicone pan is.
18b. Also it’s already seeping oil due to all of the shit I mentioned earlier, so that’s going to be vomit inducing.
19. And the final result looks like the teratological stillbirth of lasagna and a Stromboli. GG Jack it looks horrid; especially since you chose to then add dipping sauce like you would with a calzone. FUCK.
20. “Get a little sauce” ~ Jack ignoring how he already piled in sauce in this horror earlier.
21. Fat boy’s final decision is a childish giggle and a muttering of gud, like he was ever considering saying anything else. Also any annoyance at being forced to make this has been soothed by him knowing he made this too spicy for Tammy.
22. HAHA I JUST REALIZED THIS FUCKER IS USING A SPOON TO EAT THIS WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
23. “That filling is amazing” ~ A glutton with an eating disorder caused by food insecurity on what is effectively meat and cheese
24. Jack lets slip that he added red pepper flakes to guarantee that all two trays of this shit, since he had the ingredients to make two of these horrors, go to him.
25. And he ends with saying go for it and a harsh cut to a promo for “F as in Fat” snoozefest.
