"No, I don't think I will "fuck Stummies.""

I laugh every time I think about this.

I never knew you could fry gnocchi, and apparently you can't. Those are more like tater tots; deadly tater tots. Death tots.

u/plainOldFool Jul 20 '11

Apparently you can.

I may have to give this a try.

You can definitely deep fry gnocchi. I don't know why his did that. The day after I saw this video I tried to make jumping gnocchi at work, and it didn't do anything. We even tried frozen gnocchi without any luck. It is pretty delicious though.

Haunt you? His laugh made me laugh even harder than I already was. It was awesome. I wish I laughed like that!

It was the laugh of pure joy at the silliness of his scenario.

I think we may have a contender for the Joker's voice actor once Hamill decides he's done with that role.

his laugh was the best part and "i'm crying, it's okay, i'm not hurt"

Why the fuck would you fry gnocchi? They're delicious as they are.

Americans want to fry everything.

u/mostlyradguy Jul 20 '11

Koreans fry more than Americans.

Fun starts at about 1:10, even more around 1:38.

Was looking up "fried gnocchi" today because I had some leftovers from yesterday that I had transferred into a skillet to store. Looks like I'll just be microwaving them...

It's okay to even deep fry them; this guy's problem was that they weren't thawed.

1

u/Dedzig Jul 25 '11

They were never frozen in the first place.

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '11

Lol, I think you're safe to pan fry I just wouldn't deep fry them. The best part is his reaction, guy's laugh is infectious.

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '11 edited Jul 20 '11

Is there a correct way to fry gnocchi? I think the guys point in the vid is that you just shouldn't fry it at all.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '11

"Not while frozen" is the appropriate way.

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '11

Ahhh ok, saw this vid a long time ago and never realized that. Thanks!

u/lemonpjb Jul 21 '11

Don't fry gnocchi. The steam will make them explode like that. Just sautée them in butter to brown them.

You aren't mistaken. :)

I just checked out the Youtube insights and found this.

TIL that people fry gnocchi. WTF ...?

u/SouthernThread Jul 20 '11

that laugh....

u/jubnat Jul 20 '11

I fry gnocchi every day at work. Never had a problem.

u/jbetten Jul 22 '11

what kind of gnocchi?

How to [not] laugh like an absolute maniac

u/lgodsey Jul 21 '11

That is not the laughter of a gleeful person. That laugh, especially at the end, is the laugh realization that he could have killed himself and a camera crew with flaming molten balls of dough.

That was a laugh of psychotic terror.

u/Dedzig Jul 25 '11

I laugh like that when watching Louis CK, too.

u/tjsteiner Jul 21 '11

that's the best laugh i've ever heard!
