Funniest episode in a long while. Randy Marsh is hilarious. The b-story with Sharon was also good and tied nicely with Randy’s cooking obsession in the end. Jamie Oliver really is a whiny little bitch.
I give it a 9 out of 10.
The minute Paula Dean came on the screen and he started more furiously masturbating. . . I died.
Personally, I’m a huge fan of any Randy-centric episodes; I think they are definitely the funniest.
OH, I’M SORRY, I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA?*
*Yes, I realize that wasn’t this episode, but I’m just proving a point.
I laughed when we saw Randy as the new chef. I guess there’s been somewhat of a turnover since Chef died.
I liked it a lot. The celebrity chef camios were brilliant. Giada’s giant non-stop smile was perfect. I can’t watch her tv show becuase it bugs me so.
I’m with Diosa any Randy episode is guaranteed win.
Yeah, we watched this (DVR) on my lunch break together, and The Other Shoe turned to me and said, “Just like Simpsons. When they focus on the dad instead of the kids, it’s way funnier.” I agree; Randy IS getting very Homer-esque.
(But I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to give a handjob without cracking up for a loooong time.)
It was pretty funny seeing the ersatz versions of all the Food Network personalities. But it’s usually Paula though, and not Alton, who smears the butter all over the food.
The Shake Weight stole the show! 
Shakeweight’s voice sounds like it was done on Xtranormal. I’ve always hated that site, but it was kind of funny for this.
You mean a nice old-fashioned?
Meh, not a fan of cooking reality shows, and the shake weight joke was old even before M&T gave it their “finishing touch” with the “cooling spray”, the “heart rate sensor” and the cab fare gags
Can’t say I was impressed with this one, so far, this season has been a mixed bag…

This season has not impressed me, aside from the masterpieces of 200/201 and the Coon Saga
What’s up with the pronunciation of “Crème Fraiche” in this episode? I’ve always said something like “krem fresh.” They say something like “cream freesh.” I’ve never heard this but, honestly, I don’t know a lot of people who would use crème fraiche in conversation. Is this the usual anglicization of the phrase?
pssst South Park works better if you watch it with, y’know, a sense of humor. They’re poking fun of the guy. You’re, um, supposed to laugh at the joke, and at him.
Well, duh. I was just honestly curious whether this was a common pronunciation or not. It’s pronounced that way by everyone through the whole episode, so far as I remember, so I was wondering whether I just had an affected “snooty” pronunciation or not.
“Krem fresh” is correct.
Did anybody notice Bradley, a.k.a. Mint Berry Crunch, flying above the crowd in the opening theme montage?
It’s like sour cream, but not as sour. (I’ve never tried it.)
But the point, obviously, is to give Randy a fixation with a white, sticky substance, underscoring his equation of the cooking shows with porn.
It was pretty funny, but I laughed way harder when I first saw the actual Shake Weights commercial (the day before seeing SP, incidentally). I’ll assume the innuendo is intentional, but it treads into Poe’s law-ish territory.
I don’t watch the cooking shows enough to know how they mangle “crème fraiche,” but presumably someone pronounces it similarly.
Mysterio also appears in the first line of the crowd, but when Kenny appears from behind the South Park sign, the Mysterio in the crowd is revealed to be a cardboard cutout. Pretty sneaky.
It’s really easy to make too. The link at the bottom of the wiki is a good resource. You can whip sugar into it to make it go with desserts, so it’s versatile on the savory to sweet scale.
Go on . . . oooh, yeah . . . do go on . . .
