Had a turkey stuffed with 12 sticks of butter. When attempting to lift it onto the plate all I got was a clean rib cage. On the plus side, it wasn’t dry
Last year was the best Thanksgiving I ever had, and I am all set to have it again this year. Why? Because I am on the other side of the international date line, about as far away from my relatives as I can get without having to leave the planet (though I still kind of want to leave the planet). Plus, I can use the excuse of a bad internet connection to cut any and all Zoom/Skype calls with them short.
David, you sound like my kind of a guy! I celebrate the holidays by NOT celebrating the holidays! It’s nice and peaceful there’s no arguing yelling or anything I love it! 🍵☕️
I once invited my sister and her husband for Thanksgiving and after that, I was bombarded with emails about how to cook the bird, what to serve with it, etc. And once they got here, she and my husband almost came to blowsover how long to cook it! Needless to say, she was never invited back. It's not worth it.
I just want Stove Top Stuffing and gravey Lewis. Spending the day with some family members is as much fun as having a root canal without novicaine. Thanks for supporting OUR VETERANS. Love Ya Man!
After my Mother passed away we went to my Brother's house for Thanksgiving, and about 2pm I noticed that I didn't smell that awesome smell of a roasted Turkey, so I meandered into their kitchen and noticed my Sister-in-Law forget to turn on the oven. Never the less, KFC was pretty good that day Lol!!
I was informed we are going to Golden Corral for Thanksgiving. What sort of karma did I dish out to deserve such a treat? I think I'd rather eat Jeanne's (Lewis' mom) microwaved frozen turkey muck. Better yet, Lewis, please may I go to Portugal with you?
Try having a birthday right next to Thanksgiving. Your birthday lunch or dinner is basically leftovers. Any place you go out to is in apocalypse Christmas mode. Any cards you get are holiday greeting cards with "oh by the way happy birthday" added.
I have a dear friend who was born on Christmas Day. She mentioned one year when our friend group took her out for her birthday (so we also exchanged Christmas gifts) that as a child and a teen she was always really pissed off and resentful that every time someone gave her a birthday present she had to give them a gift back. So the friend committee got together and decided the next year we were moving her birthday to June 25. We threw a massive surprise party and after she stopped crying joyful tears she was happier than I’d ever seen her. After that year we always celebrated her birthday on June 25th
I have two brothers born the week before Christmas. My youngest brother came home Christmas Eve. My parents woke me up to see him under the Christmas tree. I was the oldest and I think they were expecting a different reaction. I looked around, observed him and said to my parents…. This BETTER not be the only thing Santa is bringing us. This story was retold every Christmas as if my 6 year old self was just a horrible big sister. The whole thing could have been avoided if before waking me, my parents had dragged all of Santa’s other gifts from their hiding spot and put them under the tree. But I guess THEY thought another baby brother WAS the best present. Not to the 6yo who now had two brothers in diapers to change and bottles to help with. But I did get my telescope so Santa was forgiven.
My Thanksgiving memories are so much different than it seems like everyone else has. First, my mother made the tastiest, moistest turkey imaginable. Her giblet gravy was heavenly. Her hybrid cornbread dressing (she was raised in Arkansas, but her mother died when she was 11. I never figured out how she learned to cook.) beat anything I have ever eaten anywhere. Instead of all cornbread, she would use equal amounts of cornbread and dried white bread. We lived in a tiny town in miserable Eastern New Mexico and family would drive 1,000 miles to eat my Mom’s turkey. It had to be for the turkey and fixin’s because there was nothing to do in that town except Friday evening football during the season. (She died in 1981, so this was before everyone flew everywhere.) Then, I also don’t remember any family conflict over religion or politics. Virtually all of us were Roman Catholics who were FDR Democrats. (And EVERYONE smoked but me.) There was only one ongoing feud between my mother and a paternal aunt. My aunt had a grudge against my mother for something she didn’t even do. My aunt NEVER showed up for family holidays, so there were no touchy feelings around. Before we moved to God forsaken New Mexico when I was in high school, we lived in Denver where almost all my Dad’s family lived, so there wasn’t a holiday that we didn’t all spend together. Maybe my mind has cleansed itself of any negative stuff. My sister’s memories were the polar opposite of mine, so who knows. There hasn’t been a holiday remotely like that since my mother died.
Great rant by Lewis and I get your comment. You are simply a glass half full person. We find what we look for and you look for treasures. And you find them.
MOM! True love forever. Seriously, she held our family together without trying. When she "passed" there was nothing connecting us anymore. Too bad and sad, but life is a bundle of everything. Thank you "T.G." !
Not all vegetarians or vegans insist their choices get forced onto others though. Not even most of them. It's also kind of rude to invite someone to dinner, then not provide anything at all they can eat except bread. My family are die-hard carnivores, so I expect the only foods to be offered are ones that will literally make me spend hours in the bathroom afterwards if I eat them. I've tried eating a little something both before and after dinner, then only having bread during. Then I get yelled at for only eating bread. So my choices are, get yelled at for asking for ONE vegetarian dish, go hungry, get yelled at for only eating bread, spend hours in the bathroom being miserable, or get yelled at for not going to Thanksgiving at all. I usually pick the last option. I guess asking for green beans or mashed potatoes to have the bacon bits on the side instead of mixed in is just too much to ask for.
@@Zuraneve Can’t you offer to bring the massed tators and green bean casserole? But what I don’t understand is why they put bacon in in the first place… Also bring the Pie you can eat!
While we are at it I don’t need to know your sexual preference any more than you need to hear my technique for wiping my 😮 I don ‘t care nor do I need to think on it for even a nanosecond / recently a young married Mom working for school board told me the kind of sex she prefers is with objects?.. why do I need to know how to turn your crank ? I’m dating her Father-in-law who is shaking his head saying O my she’s at it again. Her poor husband just grins with nervous embarrassment Happy Thanksgiving. 😮
After 9 years US Army. I moved to Australia as an Art Teacher ... As an ex-Screaming Eagle, 2/502 Infantry, 101st Airborne-"team sniper"- a killer, 330 plus days in the jungle, in the "A Shaw Valley". Wounded, loosing fellow Troopers and close friends. I no longer have family alive, I would so love to have "Thanks Giving" ... cranberry's in a can, "sweet potato pie", turkey and dressing ... a football game, the parades. Now it's just me and my rescued kittens watching a movie. I love you Lewis, but every year I disagree!
My husband and I order Thanksgiving from a wonderful restaurant in downtown Santa Fe every year. Luckily, our little city is blessed with quite a few award-winning chefs.
I always spent Thanksgiving and Christmas at the relatives sick as a dog sitting on the toilet and puking at the same time. Food poisoning is a bitch. Never ever can I eat food that has been not properly handled and left out on the counter all damned day. I was 16 before I found out that I didn't have to be sick twice a year. I never went to any family dinners ever again and was much happier for it! I still hate both times of year.
Watching his "Peanut Butter" rant was the first time I saw him. I thought he had tourette's too! Hey, some 17 year old stutterer got the golden buzzer on AGT. Why not?
My family learned long ago how to do holidays with ten different political and religious views. We all agree to disagree quietly and without malice. We decided we love each other more than we need to talk about whatever it is. And we all know how to cook really well. Mom on e cooked the turkey outside in the barbeque. So good.
I used to try to be out of town for work for the holidays. Now, I'm much less mobile, but thank goodness I've alienated almost every one I know, so I don't have to make excuses or turn anyone down, since I don't get invites I can sit around in my sweats with a beer and a bowl, watch terrible football, (have the Lions EVER been worth watching?) and tell the world to F-off.
I used to like him but he gets too many laughs soley from his tantrums and profanity. as a vegan I think he gives fuel to ignorant people who think such hatred and bigotry is permissable.
It's a tradition now for me; for 3 years I've stayed home all alone and said 'Fuck You!' to Thanksgiving while cooking myself a big 'ol T-Bone steak and few fried potatoes in a good old fashion cast iron skillet, indeed it is a meat-eaters holiday, thank you, Lewis. Next year I'm going to make tacos or something...
Sounds tasty. I typically cook up some turkey breasts with BBQ and buffalo sauce, and have them over a nice salad, then go to a nice (because there's almost no one there) movie.
Our family thanksgivings were somewhere between good and please can I go outside and play in the freezing weather rather than be subjected to this. My mother would make a turkey, occasionally it would be dry but her gravy was plentiful and covered up the desiccation. The sides were always good. So what was the problem. My grandmother would be there. And to say she was an unpleasant woman is like saying ….well I won’t go there. We were only aloud to speak if an adult asked us to, although my grandmother did talk to us it was mostly demeaning, horrible jabs at my sister. She spared me mostly. She loved to demean my mother and if the food was not to her satisfaction she would let my mom know it no uncertain terms that it was horrible. The saving grace is my mom always had lovely wine with the meal. And we all had a glass…or two. It made it somewhat bearable. So there you had two kids and their mom half crocked staring at their plates and wishing it was over soon. Oh and yes I became an alcoholic. Such is life when you start drinking a 5years of age. As an adult and having my own family the holiday was the opposite and always a joy…..until we moved across the country to be near my wife’s sister. The in-laws put on the holiday now. Replete with the requisite fighting, dry turkey, watery lumpy flavorless gravy, stuffing from a box, grey overcooked peas, and salad. Salad! Why is there salad?
The First People celebrated the Harvest, being thankful and sharing their abundance with those less- fortunate. They gave thanks to Mother Earth & Nature, the Great Spirit, all who continually blessed them daily. Maybe we should focus on gratitude.
Every time I have to put up with my wife's family I am so glad I did not grow up with my family honestly Lewis Black a man I have never met has been more helpful in my live than any person that raised me in my life besides whoever called the cops on my family and got me out of that family I make fun of my wife and kid all the time for having parents. I just want to say thank you Lewis Black for helping me see through the stupid and laugh at it.
Awesome!!!!! The only holiday that gives me more Dysfunction Family Memory PTSD than Thanksgiving is Christmas. I will say I do like the nutty cheese balls tho.
My mom didn't start making good turkeys until she switched to boneless turkeys. It's just a turkey with all it's meat squished together into a ham-like shape. The problem with cooking turkeys is that the meat from the different parts cook at different rates, but people tend to just chuck the whole thing into the oven because "tradition."
Click Like to this comment if you think we should REname it "Lewis Black Friday" , Lew I think you'd be behind me on this. It could be like a legacy for you(in addition to your oh-so-relatable rantings) that would outlive you forever! Nothin' bad about that! #LewLove 🔊
Ah, Thanksgiving. No matter how much I try to pare things down, since I've only ever had to feed a max of 3 people, I always end up making enough to feed a small army. Especially mashed potatoes. I swear, its like 2 potatoes can make enough mash to fill a 50-gallon drum. I guess growing up in the South, my brain's just trained to make massive feasts for any and all holidays and birthdays.
Dude WHY do so many people not like Pringles?! They come in a large variety of delicious flavors! The rotisserie chicken ones taste great. My favorite however is the low sodium ones. I could eat two entire cans of them in like half an hour(but I never do that)
Why bother w/baking. The best (truly!) pecan pie is Marie Callendar frozen. No fuss, no mess, just thaw and enjoy. No comm'l gain for me here.... just helpful info for all. Top w a scoop of french vanilla i.c.
The GREATEST Thanksgiving I ever attended was the one where the average age of the six women in the kitchen cooking was 75 years old. This was in the early 1980s, so there was some depression era recipes involved.
Maybe I'm biased but Canadian Thanksgiving is better. It's the second weekend in October. It's often still warm out and not so close to Christmas. Still have to put up with the relatives though.
From 2:45 with reference to Tofurkey comment: Thanksgiving should really be about giving thanks for things of the New World that the Old World gained so much from whereas Soya beans are native to China. Wikipedia on the subject says, "By the 18th century, soybeans were introduced to the Americas and Europe from China. Soy was introduced to Africa from China in the late 19th century, and is now widespread across the continent." I give thanks for the foods native to the Americas such as Turkey, maize, cocoa, vanilla, tomato, potato, cassava, sweet potato, peanuts, squash, large strawberries, green beans, runner beans, lima beans, Bell peppers probably others i've forgotten, I would give thanks for Buffalo / Bison meat but honestly have never tasted it, some might give thanks for chilli but i can't stand the stuff. Actually chocolate required the mixing of New World cocoa with SE Asian sugar cane. It is funny in Acts 10v10 vision that St Peter's vision has him offered non kosher food, reptiles and creepy crawlies but no sign of the delicious foods i listed as native to the Americas, the funny thing being that if Christ was supposed to be saying the gospel was for all people of all nations then it could have made sense to miraculously predict the existence of foods that Peter would never have known of. But the words would have meant nothing without a visual picture. In any case an important point to note is that none of the religions, witches or wizards, seers or astrologers of either the Old World or the New World managed to predict even the existence of each other's sphere's. All the more curious when considering that there is some evidence that Vikings made contact with the Thule / Inuit people of New Foundland and the news didn't get passed on. The Columbian exchange should be evidence against claims about the existence of a supernatural realm. At any rate the catch line after 2:45 about Tofurkey could have been that your tofurkey can go tofuck but i hasten to add that Soya or Tofu has pros and cons as a food stuff and i do eat it occasionally and i am in no way against the idea of eating Tofu when desired. It's just a joke play on words. slightly amusing coincidence in Go being a Chinese game ( i liked playing Go by the way) P.S Wikipedia about Strawberries has : French gardeners in Brest and Cherbourg around the mid-18th century first noticed that when F. moschata and F. virginiana were planted in between rows of F. chiloensis, the Chilean strawberry would bear abundant and unusually large fruits.
Try being a cross country driver, you haven’t seen your family for three weeks. And then the Truck Stop you were planning on having thanksgiving turkey at, decided not to do it this year!
'Lewis Black Friday' is a tradition I can get behind.
We still have Festivus!!
But like every week of the year we need it. 🤣
I thought I was the only one who withdrew as a public service😉
Thanksgiving theme-flavored asbestos-pressed Pringle's chips. Pop open a can of that cancer-cluster crunch.
exactly. 1000% perfect
I love you Lewis. I had a sucky day and I needed to hear you tonight. Thank you very much for the laughs.
Lewis, you're just the greatest. keep on keeping on!
Lewis Black for president.
Always great to see a Lewis Black rant.
Survived 2021 Thanksgiving myself. Now i just have to survive the rest of this crazy year......arghhhh.
Lewis would make a great clergyman. His sermons would be magnificent.
I second this motion
Well said
Love his "gravy" 🤣
Had a turkey stuffed with 12 sticks of butter. When attempting to lift it onto the plate all I got was a clean rib cage. On the plus side, it wasn’t dry
Heaven.
lolll nice!
Laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes!!!
Superb as always , love the grumpy sarcasm of Lewis!

Lewis Black is like my always pissed off uncle Ed. He tells great stories but always with righteous anger and laughs. 😂
i’m a vegetarian and still find this funny as hell👍😎✅☮️Lewis is a national treasure✌️🥟🧀🧈🍔🍳🫕🍤🌭🥓🥩🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗
First comment!
The man is a voice in the wilderness. Listen children, your world will be a better place.
First reply to your comment, I agree with you completely! Happy Thanksgiving :)
that's right. completely accurate
I once invited my sister and her husband for Thanksgiving and after that, I was bombarded with emails about how to cook the bird, what to serve with it, etc. And once they got here, she and my husband almost came to blowsover how long to cook it! Needless to say, she was never invited back. It's not worth it.
I just want Stove Top Stuffing and gravey Lewis. Spending the day with some family members is as much fun as having a root canal without novicaine. Thanks for supporting OUR VETERANS. Love Ya Man!
hahaha excellent

Great story. 👍
Did she ever get forgiven, if not forgotten?
@@enid0mom
She was banished to an unfashionable fish n chips shop in East London.
Happy Thanksgiving, Louis!
i spent two Thanksgiving holidays by myself and was perfectly happy. 👍😎✅☮️
Right?! It's so easy being alone...and that kind of peace is something to be thankful for!
I'm definitely doing a "Lewis Black Friday" this year 😁🎉
I was informed we are going to Golden Corral for Thanksgiving.
What sort of karma did I dish out to deserve such a treat? I think I'd rather eat Jeanne's (Lewis' mom) microwaved frozen turkey muck.
Better yet, Lewis, please may I go to Portugal with you?
Try having a birthday right next to Thanksgiving. Your birthday lunch or dinner is basically leftovers. Any place you go out to is in apocalypse Christmas mode. Any cards you get are holiday greeting cards with "oh by the way happy birthday" added.
Big deal! Try being born 2 days before Christmas…
Oh. And 65 years later my Mom still blames ME for putting her in the Hospital for Christmas!

Awesome!!!!! The only holiday that gives me more Dysfunction Family Memory PTSD than Thanksgiving is Christmas. I will say I do like the nutty cheese balls tho.
Those are awesome with crackers
Great Video! Thanks
My mother never made a good turkey either, I F-n feel ya, man!
My mom didn't start making good turkeys until she switched to boneless turkeys. It's just a turkey with all it's meat squished together into a ham-like shape. The problem with cooking turkeys is that the meat from the different parts cook at different rates, but people tend to just chuck the whole thing into the oven because "tradition."
@@Zuraneve I never knew that about a boneless turkey. Thanks!
Forget you forget you when we are gone you can dance in the garden😂😂😂😂
LOL This year I have it at my daughters place. 😌
Hey Lewis, I want to hear a rant about your thoughts on the turducken. You're awesome, dude. 🦃🐔🦆
I wish everyone happy laughs giving to the great comedians that deliver the best jokes for the fans everywhere.
😃😁
@5:27 lol advice I've been looking for since June 16, 2015 🤣🤣🤣
Click Like to this comment if you think we should REname it "Lewis Black Friday" , Lew I think you'd be behind me on this. It could be like a legacy for you(in addition to your oh-so-relatable rantings) that would outlive you forever!
Nothin' bad about that! #LewLove 🔊
thanks
at summer camp when we played poker we used pringles as 'chips' ... i'll raise you 2 bbq's ...
Ah, Thanksgiving. No matter how much I try to pare things down, since I've only ever had to feed a max of 3 people, I always end up making enough to feed a small army. Especially mashed potatoes. I swear, its like 2 potatoes can make enough mash to fill a 50-gallon drum. I guess growing up in the South, my brain's just trained to make massive feasts for any and all holidays and birthdays.
The best description of Pringles ever.
Dude WHY do so many people not like Pringles?! They come in a large variety of delicious flavors! The rotisserie chicken ones taste great. My favorite however is the low sodium ones. I could eat two entire cans of them in like half an hour(but I never do that)
There is now a pumpkin pie flavored Cup of Noodles.
Mr Black nice to see u again 🥰😂😱😆🤭🤣😂🥰😂
Why bother w/baking. The best (truly!) pecan pie is Marie Callendar frozen. No fuss, no mess, just thaw and enjoy. No comm'l gain for me here.... just helpful info for all. Top w a scoop of french vanilla i.c.
The Thanksgiving chips or candy makes me wonder if Jones soda still does that
🇨🇦❤️’s you Lewis!
The GREATEST Thanksgiving I ever attended was the one where the average age of the six women in the kitchen cooking was 75 years old. This was in the early 1980s, so there was some depression era recipes involved.
That sums it up!
Lewis always gives truth
I bet most people would of had a better Thanksgiving dinner at the Sawyer House. what's for dinner? YOU!!! XD
Those are yummy. I like the low-sodium ones. Also the philly cheesesteak ones, the pizza flavor, and the buffalo chicken ones are great also.
COVID-19 created the greatest excuse to avoid the family during the holidays, ever.
Portugal is a great place to hide.
Maybe I'm biased but Canadian Thanksgiving is better. It's the second weekend in October. It's often still warm out and not so close to Christmas. Still have to put up with the relatives though.
love Lewis ' The Truth ' Black,
Lewis Black is the best since George Carlin . He's on point with many of the ways I think of humans. WE SUCK AT THIS!!!!!!!
That man is speaks the truth
From 2:45 with reference to Tofurkey comment: Thanksgiving should really be about giving thanks for things of the New World that the Old World gained so much from whereas Soya beans are native to China. Wikipedia on the subject says, "By the 18th century, soybeans were introduced to the Americas and Europe from China. Soy was introduced to Africa from China in the late 19th century, and is now widespread across the continent." I give thanks for the foods native to the Americas such as Turkey, maize, cocoa, vanilla, tomato, potato, cassava, sweet potato, peanuts, squash, large strawberries, green beans, runner beans, lima beans, Bell peppers probably others i've forgotten, I would give thanks for Buffalo / Bison meat but honestly have never tasted it, some might give thanks for chilli but i can't stand the stuff. Actually chocolate required the mixing of New World cocoa with SE Asian sugar cane. It is funny in Acts 10v10 vision that St Peter's vision has him offered non kosher food, reptiles and creepy crawlies but no sign of the delicious foods i listed as native to the Americas, the funny thing being that if Christ was supposed to be saying the gospel was for all people of all nations then it could have made sense to miraculously predict the existence of foods that Peter would never have known of. But the words would have meant nothing without a visual picture. In any case an important point to note is that none of the religions, witches or wizards, seers or astrologers of either the Old World or the New World managed to predict even the existence of each other's sphere's. All the more curious when considering that there is some evidence that Vikings made contact with the Thule / Inuit people of New Foundland and the news didn't get passed on. The Columbian exchange should be evidence against claims about the existence of a supernatural realm.
At any rate the catch line after 2:45 about Tofurkey could have been that your tofurkey can go tofuck but i hasten to add that Soya or Tofu has pros and cons as a food stuff and i do eat it occasionally and i am in no way against the idea of eating Tofu when desired. It's just a joke play on words. slightly amusing coincidence in Go being a Chinese game ( i liked playing Go by the way)
P.S Wikipedia about Strawberries has : French gardeners in Brest and Cherbourg around the mid-18th century first noticed that when F. moschata and F. virginiana were planted in between rows of F. chiloensis, the Chilean strawberry would bear abundant and unusually large fruits.
My daughter says she is not cooking traditional Thanksgiving food but I can come to dinner. I was polite but you all know what I really wanted to say.
Try being a cross country driver, you haven’t seen your family for three weeks. And then the Truck Stop you were planning on having thanksgiving turkey at, decided not to do it this year!
Darn right. Out on the front porch.
I was at this show in Knoxville
There is a forest in Nottingham , England you can visit and the oldest pub in the world in Nottingham. Please come to England?
How to make a NOT dry turkey...Roast it UPSIDE DOWN.👍
YES! Breast side down so it stews in the juices mmmmm so good
in Michigan, growing up, it was DDT/PBB & 👁️ chose MEAT!
I've only every had 2 crappy turkeys in my life. It's not hard to cook it if u pay attention😅😅
Turkey in November, Turkey in December. That’s too much.
Happy to see Vegeterian argument
