It's a microwavable dinner!
Fish stick and pudding. Ah, (beep).
Shrimp? A shrimp!
Just eat it, will you stop being childish?
5, 6, 7, 8.
It's basic...
Uh-huh, uh-huh. Go get yourself.
... to Bougie. Go off.
Aye, aye! Okay, okay.
Okay.
Well, well, well...
Look who's back.
Look what the cat drug in.
So glad to have Justina back
Yay! Thank you guys, thanks.
Welcome back to the best show on the internet,
and the whole wide world... Basic to Bougie!
What we doing today, Tim?
Y'all know what it is.
We try three different version of two different foods
to determine that, you know,
sometimes basic food can be bougie.
Or that bougie food can be basic.
Just like bitches, you know?
You eat them both and some can be basic and some can be bougie!
It's time for the basic round.
Yeah. Let's get it.
Alex?
Baldwin?
Trebek.
Oh boy.
Let's say a prayer, let's say a prayer.
Reverend Big Baby, you should say the prayer.
Lord, we come to you the best way we know how...
humble and as your children.
Amen, Jesus!
We just ask that we put this trust in these white folks
and please let them give us food that we actually like today.
Them damn white folks, you know they can't cook.
Yes, Lord.
Amen! Amen.
Amen, let's do it. Let's get it.
I hear it, I hear it. Is that plastic?
Oh it's like a microwavable-
It's a microwavable dinner!
Yeah. Yeah.
Grew up on these- Wow.
... ain't no shame to my game.
Oh, this smells amazing. Yeah, I love these.
Ah, you used everybody's-
I just ashed my hair like... a week ago.
I guess.
Now look, I'm not upset about this.
No, it looks good.
This looks 5 star. Look at the sauteed peppers.
What do we got here?
A little salisbury... what is it?
Oh, nevermind, I thought it was as salisbury steak-
Is that pudding? ... and it's just pudding.
Ah, (beep). Oh, (beep).
Which one we starting off with first?
Whoo!
I'm thinking we go mac and cheese/fish sticks.
Yeah. Hey...
Fish stick and pudding.
That's not bad.
I love a good microwave fish stick, man.
Mm-hmm (affirmative). Yeah, it's good.
Okay? Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Okay.
Taste like the cafeteria. Oh wait, hold on.
You got to eat the fish stick off the back of the fork.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It tastes different.
You ever notice if you eat ice cream
or something frozen like this from the back of the spoon,
it tastes better?
Not going to get me this season,
I'm not falling for that dumb (beep).
This tastes really good.
I actually like it. I'm not mad at all.
I'm going with the Asian-
Persuasion.
Yes, yeah.
... cuisine.
Me too.
Yeah. There we go.
Got to eat it like spaghetti,
that's the only way black people know how to eat noodles.
Mmm! It's pretty good.
That's not bad at all.
Mmm, this right here- Got a little kick to it.
... this is it. I mean, chicken, peppers-
Some carrots. What do we got here?
Let's go with it.
This is your, "I'm losing weight" meal prep.
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
It's not bad either. Is it?
It's not bad. Really?
The broccoli's even kind of nice, actually.
Try it out.
Yeah, yeah.
This is seasoned- It's prepared nicely.
... really well.
Yeah, so is the broccoli.
Is it? Yeah.
I've got some flavor on there. It's not bad, bro.
The chicken's nice too.
Is it? Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Wow. I'm not mad.
Really good.
Oh my god!
This is great.
Is this lunch? I'm saving this place for lunch.
All right, let's rate them.
Let's rate.
Off the rip, fish stick cheapest.
I mean even though it was great...
Yes. Of course.
Yeah.
Now we're getting a little tense.
Healthy (beep) makes you think it's going to be-
More expensive. Yeah.
Yeah. But it's healthy and good.
I prefer this plate over this, even though this was very good.
This was my favorite.
This could be from a restaurant.
Tastes like it's from a restaurant.
This looks like, like you guys said, like a meal prep.
Right. But meal prep is expensive.
Yes. Yeah, exactly.
And it has a lot of herbs and flavors and (beep).
Yeah. Mm-hmm (affirmative).
I'm going to step up for the team.
You take it, man. Okay.
It's already in order. Okay.
All right. We agree with that?
Mm-hmm (affirmative). Let's do it.
Raheem!
Rupert! Rupert-Raheem.
My boy.
I could just fill up on this, all right?
You want some? You good? I'm good.
I'm good. All right, here. Here we go!
Number one, $1.49 meal.
Fish sticks, mac and cheese, chocolate pudding...
generic supermarket brand.
Wow. You can't beat that with a bat.
For $1.50? True.
That's crazy. Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Number two, Korean pork noodle...
frozen meal from a national chain... $4.50.
Okay, what we called the meal prep and healthy...
9 bucks, fresh microwavable delivery meal.
Herb chicken, sweet potato, broccoli.
We knew it. Good job. Good job, Darren!
Let's go!
Yeah, we did it.
We just finished up the basic...
Uh-huh.
Now we about to do the bougie.
Let's bouge it up!
Eric! Why is everything so funny?
I don't know. Be very careful.
Oh we got to be careful with this?
What is this? Is it liquid?
What's this? Oh my gosh. Oh it's hairy.
Oh it's alive. It's a porcupine!
Nah, don't play like that. Oh, it's soft.
Can y'all be serious? Don't say it's alive and (beep).
Oh my gosh.
No, no, no... I was touching Justina.
It's either vagina or fish.
Oh. A shrimp!
shrimp? Shrimp!
Oh, it's like- Come on guys!
It's like a
Let's go! Roll that (beep) out! Let's go!
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na-
Justina! Will you stop being childish?
That thing looks like a baby shark.
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo.
I was very excited when I realized it was shrimp.
And what happened?
When we received this mother (beep)-
Aren't you from the south? Break the heads off!
This thing looks like a lobster.
I'm from North Carolina- Uh-huh.
... not Louisiana. Oh.
So let's eat the shrimp that's safe.
The safe one? Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's do it, let's do that. A little shrimp cocktail!
This is good.
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Really good. Mmm, now see this is shrimp.
I feel good about that. I'm good with this.
It's the exact same (beep),
it's just out of it's shell, that's all.
How is this the exact same (beep)?
Man- How?
Yeah. How?
No, that's a d-
Wait a minute guys, this is my fault.
It's kind of really... the exact same thing.
Yeah, fool!
They're different sized shrimp, different family.
You know, this is the runner, this is the DON, you know.
What y'all want to do next? The big one or the little one?
Let's do the little ones.
Yeah, let's work our way up.
Yeah.
All right.
Wait, what are all these... are these babies?
What are all these eggs?
Oh, that's eggs. Oh, wow y'all gave us some pregnant ones.
That's good too, though.
You got to peel these, right?
Yeah. You go to pee these.
Why is it so chewy? It tastes like gum.
It does kind of taste gummy.
What is this, shrimp gum?
I don't like that texture!
I don't like that at all, it's like gum.
Why is it not breaking down?
That's what I'm trying to say, it's like silly putty.
Ah! Stop.
Sorry.
You want to try this big one?
Let's do it.
Oh, (beep)! Oh my god.
Oh, here.
So like break it off and then like...
you know what I'm saying? Just a get a little like-
Oh my gosh.
Mmm.
You just went right in.
Ah, why does mine have little types of stuff and yours didn't?
Oh, because you got the good one.
No. I don't... how do I get rid of all that?
Oh it's oozing.
It just kind of tastes like ocean.
What is this?
That's like, probably... I don't know.
Just it's insides, you know?
Oh. Do it, Darren!
I'm going to do it. Do it.
Do it. I'm cultured.
Do it, do it for the culture. I got to put the sauce on mine.
Do it for the viewers, bro.
Yeah put a little sauce on that.
That good?
Mm-mm (negative).
So you have to prepare it before you suck it,
make sure it's clean.
You don't just put anything in your mouth.
Okay, good advice.
You can bite that.
Oh, okay. Oh yeah, I guess I should bite it now.
See, when you break it down like this-
Yeah, see then it's-
That's not bad. I can do this.
Yes. Yeah!
Mm-hmm (affirmative). I can do that.
Mm-hmm (affirmative). Now that's good.
If you can get past the eyes and the head...
Still not as good as the little ones.
Really?
Bruh, that's because of what we're accustomed to.
Yeah. That's all that is.
Let's get to ranking Sure.
Let's do it.
Oxymoron- Hold on.
... tall Asian-
Hold on, we're having a moment.
Oh.
Oh. We're good.
Yeah. The big shrimp was good.
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Yeah. Tiny ones were trash.
Nasty.
The tiny ones? Bottom of the dumpster trash.
Yeah, these joints were like... nobody wanted them-
And you can tell they grew up their whole life
by themselves and single. His tail touching his face.
Oh his little legs.
"Nobody loves me. It's just me... it's just me..."
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
"I got friends..." All he has is himself, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, cheapest. Mm-hmm (affirmative).
I feel like the head adds to the price of the value.
They might be trying to throw us off though.
The thing is, like taste wise... these were wack, right?
Horrible.
But then a lot of mine had little eggs in it
and (beep), I'm like... did that make it more expensive?
Ew!
I'm just saying off the rip, I think it should be cheapest-
Okay.
.... middle, most expensive. You know?
Okay. Lebron!
Oh my god. Kyrie!
Oh my god. I'm nervous about this one!
I don't know why we're so nervous, right?
I'm nervous! We're not going to like...
not be friends if we lose, right?
Yeah. I mean if we lose, we lose.
Give it to us, man.
$7.00, one pound of frozen, cold-water, little, head on-
Little head, these are the little heads, right?
Number two!
$10.00, pound of large, head on prawns bought in Chinatown.
What? For real?
Finally, $16.00, one pound of standard shrimp,
cooked, cocktail, from a grocery store.
Wow! That's crazy.
What do you do? You win some, you lose some.
Oh you know why? You know why?
Why? These are peeled already. Man...
Yes! Extra work!
Right.
Yeah. It's like when you buy some raw beef as opposed to
when you buy some cooked (beep) all ready, you know?
I love raw beef and that's the good thing about it.
You feel me. Yeah.
We took an L on this one.
Yeah. Yeah.
We took an L. Other way.
No, because you have to do it backwards.
No, no, I know. You have-
Yeah, but- Oh yeah, you're right.
yeah. We took an L.
Yeah. Yeah.
yeah. All right.
All right. Still a family?
Missed the third one, it is what it is.
Basic to Bougie on three.
1, 2, 3- Basic to Bougie!
On three. Thanks for watching...
Basic... to Bougie.
