- Oh geez Rhett, we're about to eat eyeholes, oh geez.
- Let's talk about that.
(playful theme music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Today, we are gonna be eating some scary stuff,
but we are ready, because we have written about it
in Rhett and Link's Book of Mythicality.
We've got a chapter entitled eat something that scares you.
You too can be ready by reading this,
available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Walmart,
Target, your local bookstore, go to BookOfMythicality.com.
- Yes, but today we're gonna be eating something
that's not in our book, because we've never eaten it,
cartoon food, specifically from Rick and Morty.
Now you might be saying, you can't eat cartoon food,
it's not real dummy.
Well you know what, we made it real,
and now we're going to eat it.
It's time for Real Fake Food, Rick and Morty Edition.
- The idea of turning cartoon food into real food
has been done by talented YouTube creators
on YouTube previously.
Binging with Babish and Feast of Fiction to name a few,
shout out to you two.
But what they do is teach you how to make good versions
of the cartoon foods, so you can be the cool guy,
who's giving the cool themed treat
at the cool themed party. - And that's cooL.
- Well, and it's cute, but you know what,
it's not accurate, so today we are going to seek
to be as accurate as possible.
We want the nonfiction experience of enjoying the fictional
foods that the fictional characters are tasting.
- Right, so we've enlisted the help
of our local professional chef, Tess,
and our local professional Rick and Morty fanboy, Kevin,
to recreate a few dishes from the show.
And we do not, because we've gone so far to bring these
to life, and be true to the creation themselves,
we do not recommend bringing these to a party,
but we're going to eat them.
Let's do this!
- From season three, episode seven, entitled
The Ricklantis Mixup, we have the amazing creation
known as Simple Rick's Simple Wafers Wafer Cookie.
Here's what happened, there's a random commercial
for this wafer cookie in the show,
a woodworker named Simple Rick has a memory
of his daughter telling him, I love you Daddy,
and it's that memory that gets played on a loop
in Simple Rick's brain, and his brain then secretes
a liquid that encapsulates that memory.
And it is that brain secretion that gets put
into every single Simple Rick's wafer cookie.
- So simple.
- So we have made them today, we've made the packaging,
and we've made the wafer.
We got pink wafers from Target, we're just using
the wafer part, but everything in the middle
is powdered sugar and some Crisco,
with then pork brains added.
- From pigs only named Rick.
- You gotta have the brain secretions.
They seem to really love it, the commercial seemed great,
maybe it'll be awesome Rhett.
- Well, why don't you take one,
and let's find out, I have my doubts.
- You may be thinking that eating pork brains
makes you smarter, or makes you think like a pig,
we've discovered that neither of those is true
on this show. - It usually
just makes us vomit.
- We've traveled, we've traveled,
- They're so fruity. - We've tried many times.
- So fruity.
Yet so simple at the same time.
Here we go.
- The sugar helps.
- It helps a lot.
- It's got a Spammishness to it, though.
- I haven't even gotten to that part, yet.
- No, there's definitely a Spammish,
- It's just a sugary, sensational experience for me.
- I feel like my daughter loves me.
- I'm gonna get some more direct brain.
- You're going in for another bite.
I mean this is a testimony to the genius of this product,
is that I'm having no problem eating pork brains.
I'm not taking another bite, but--
- It really is not that bad.
- It is not bad at all guys.
- I really enjoy it.
- Simple Rick's really on to something,
we gotta get a hold of that technology.
- No we don't, we just made it.
We don't need the technology.
- I want to make other feelings.
- Oh, you want to use human brains,
you want to cross that line.
Not until 2030.
Next up we've got eyeholes, an alien cereal.
Now this is from season two, episode eight,
Interdimensional Cable Two, Tempting Fate.
Rick and Morty are watching interdimensional television
where they see a lot of weird stuff,
including two weird human monster looking people
pull flabs of skin back from their face
and reveal eyeholes, like a weird ball-looking
socket where their eyes go,
and then they start kissing through their eyeholes.
- It's not gross at all.
- No, it's great.
And then a little mean blue guy, calls himself Eyehole Man,
drops in, kicks the crap out of 'em, because only he
can eat eyeholes, and turns out this is just a commercial
for a snack food called Eyeholes.
Rick says they melt in your mouth.
We're gonna find out Rick.
Now our friend Ro at Nerdy Nummies made these,
and they looked good,
they looked enjoyable.
- I'm sure they were good.
- These are not going to be enjoyable,
but these are going to be true to the thing
that we saw on the show, let's break them out.
- But that box looks good.
- Link, - Oh my goodness,
look at that.
- Now here's what we've done, - An amazing thing,
first of all. - Inside here, we've done
a velvet cake that was mixed with chunks of,
now we didn't do this, just so you know,
professionals did this, Tess was in charge of this one.
Fish parts, fish eyes are mixed all into this cake,
the whole thing is coated in pink chocolate.
The eye socket is made from flesh-colored fondant,
and the slime is made from tapioca starch,
green food coloring, and a little water.
And then there is a whole intact fish eyeball
that is stuck into the middle of this thing.
Apparently, you gotta take a pretty big bite to get to it.
- A whole fish eyeball?
- A hole fish eyeball.
- It smells great, fondant.
Hey now, how we gonna do this?
- We're just gonna bite it man.
Come on, they melt in your mouth.
- They melt in your mouth? - Yeah.
- Available at Ikea, and Rite-Aid.
- Go deep, get halfway down into the ball.
So you can get the other ball that's inside the ball.
- I'm gonna move these out so I don't
dribble or jostle on 'em.
- Yeah, we gotta save those for the crew.
Here we go.
- Uh.
(Rhett retches)
- How are you eating that?
It's horrible.
Uhhh.
- I just taste icing.
- I didn't even get to the eyeball.
- Uhhh,
is my eyeball still in there?
(Rhett retches)
- [Link] Is that a cherry or an eyeball?
- That's an eyeball man.
- I'm not eating that.
- That's an eyeball Morty.
- I'm chipmunking some of it--
- It doesn't melt in your mouth,
it doesn't melt in your mouth Morty.
- And there may be an eyeball in there,
but I'm really afraid-- - It really doesn't.
It was hard to eat, it was really hard to eat.
- I just got too scared guys,
but what I actually tasted was good, like this part.
- No, the cake is so full of fish,
what is wrong with you, man?
Your fish antenna's broke.
- Nah, I think it's okay.
- Uh, it's horrible,
but great job.
- The Rick and Morty send-up of Lucky Charms
occurred in season one, episode eight
called Ricksty Minutes, where Rick and Morty
are watching interdimensional television, of course,
and there is a commercial for Strawberry Smiggles,
where show creator Justin Roiland improvised
the whole ad of a selfish leprechaun
named Mister Top Hat Jones eating them,
so that no one else can have any.
But then some kids tie him down,
cut open his stomach, and eat them out of his stomach,
going so far as to take the intestine
and squeeze the contents out into their own mouths.
- That's beautiful. - Oh it's very appetizing,
all the while Top Hat Jones is screaming for them to stop.
Boy, we should do this.
- How could we recreate that?
- Well, we got hold of some cow intestines,
and Mr. Top Hat Jones himself, let's bring him in.
- Oh there he is.
- Oh look, I had so many Strawberry Smiggles.
I'm so full of them.
- And you ate 'em so that we couldn't have any.
- You can't have any, they're all in my belly.
- That's not gonna be a problem.
- It looks like you had some time alone with 'em,
quite a lot of time.
- Yeah!
Ewwww.
- Those are all mine.
- It looks like you ate the bowl too.
- I was very hungry.
- Oh my goodness.
Okay, well, uhhh.
Now this cow intestine is actual cow intestine.
- No, it's not cow intestine-- - It's mine.
- It has been boiled for safety.
- It's Top Hat Jones' intestines,
he can feel every bit of this.
- Oh no, don't take that one.
- Let me just, I'm gonna try some Smiggles
without the, without Mr. Jones'
- What are you doing? - Intestines.
- [Link] That's not how they did it.
- I just wanna try it first, just like this.
- Oh no, those are mine.
- It's too late Mr. Jones, it's too late.
- Give them back to me.
- It actually tastes okay, except it's
a very unappetizing presentation.
- The flavor of the intestines really comes through.
Would you like me to squeeze it from your
own intestine into your mouth?
- No, I don't want you to eat them, they're all mine.
- Let's try it first.
- Okay, here we go.
- Do that into your mouth Rhett.
Do it into your mouth, right into it, there you go.
- Oh no, don't eat that one, that's my favorite.
- Mine burst.
- Here, I got more. - Keep it back in there.
- Just straight up juice.
Just straight up Smiggle juice.
I just smiggled right into your mouth.
- Why do you want them?
- We got some marshmallow cereal in there, and then--
- You want some Mr. Jones?
- Yeah, give 'em back to me.
Oh yeah,
oh it's so good.
I love them so much.
- He loves them, he still loves them.
Oh god.
- I love Strawberry Smiggles, they're so delicious.
- And they didn't do that on the show.
- Justin Roiland, you are a culinary genius.
- Yes, this was an incredible idea.
- Here, eat the intestine too, Rhett.
- Nope, I'm good, I'm just good--
- Give it back to me.
- The Smiggles, yeah, you know what, you're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be fine, just put some pressure
on that Mr Jones.
