I am in the minority here (possibly), but I was NOT a fan of this episode. I believe there are better alternatives to ‘young’, ‘newbie’, drinkers that you displayed here…

AKA – The episode SUCKED.

Having said that, I did chuckle when he mentioned the one big finger/one big tooth thing. THAT was classic….

I absolutely HATE people that THINK they are funny.

Great episode. I was laughing out loud the whole time. Keep up the great work GV!

GV: Great show. I dont remember the last time I laughed so hard.

QOTD 1: It would probably smell like s**t!
QOTD 2: Funny stuff… probably the tooth b/c I like me some carrots!

Thats kind of like asking if you would rather chop off your d**k or your foot; of course you can always hobble over to some p**sy but you cant show up with two good legs and no d**k.

I thought not…

GV – thanks for mixing it up w/ the jokers. We can see how fun it was- for you…

Been over twenty-five years since my sophomorically humorous colege days, and somehow, it seems to have never left me. The Boboes remind me of the booger eating morons what used to be in my band, pot smoking, Cab driving ne’er do well’s that they were. Never mind that they’d read Cormack Mccarthy, John Kennedy Toole, Jim Thompson, etc. Let’s see if I still got what it takes:

“Heather, bobo, take your bangs, and go back to your Fluffer job.”

“Boboe: wings are for fools. You would, no doubt, be LOST in Portugal, as there is no McDonalds there, or Taco Bell, for that matter. Thank God.”

“Shut OFF, and go back to your Senses Fail records.”

“Stay in Jersey”. (ouch)

In a movie, other than DIRT, Gee Vee could be played by fellow Jerseyite Pee Wee Herman, or the inimatable and illustrious Mr. Bean.

With ‘humor’, and all in loving jest,

Me.

QOTD: It would be like the spit bucket at Gary’s Superbowl Party

QOTD: Definitely the thumb, for the enhanced hitch hiking abilities

Absolutely typical scenario of introducing wine to that age group. Been there, done that, will be there and do that again because it is just plain fun. Mildly exhausting, but fun. Keeps all of us old farts young.
With that in mind, having been asked similar questions by my offspring and their friends, my answers for the Q’sOTD: #1- yes and #2- maybe ;D

Premiado is my favorite Torrontes so far. Both guests were wicked funny, but the dude was killer hilarious. Regards!

College humor, a great website. The prank wars were classic, sorry Streeter.

QOTD 1: Not sure..that sounds terrible though
QOTD 2: I think I would go with one tooth, similar functionality having one and many, as opposed to going from five fingers to one

Oddly enough, I just stumbled on to their BleepBloop show two weeks ago (although I was a huge fan of their Prank Wars a couple of years ago). You guys looked like you had a lot of fun.

- Can’t wait to try the Palestra
- She should cut her bangs 1/2″
- One giant tooth (it would be a lot harder to type on this keyboard and play games if I only had one finger/nail on one of my hands).

sorry… but these guys are really in college??? you mean that they are in a US university and do not know that Portugal is a country??? Somewhere the US education system screwed up there….

Gary, maybe I’m missing something, but I believe you may have out-kicked your coverage on the Cheval Blanc in “Sideways” being a wine insider’s joke. Cheval is a Cabernet Franc based wine, if it was supposed to be a joke why wouldn’t they reference something like the nearly all Merlot Petrus?

College Humor is great! Nice ep.
Those guys do a really amazing job producing viral humor.

Ray (and others), I’m afraid that if you were looking for “insight,” the point may have been lost on you. This video was obviously a primer, not really targeted at this site’s usual viewership. As a regular College Humor viewer who knows very little about wine, I came to this site for the express purpose of watching Streeter and Sarah. Now Gary had two options here. He could have been non-threatening and jocular towards these two oenovirgins, thereby demonstrating to new viewers (like me) that wine connosseurship is a welcoming hobby that a novice shouldn’t be afraid to take up. Or he could have alienated all the potential new blood visiting this site by condescendingly labeling Sarah and Streeter as worthless because they were adventurous enough to try something they’ve never tried before.

Gary chose the former, but many of the negative commenters here chose the latter, thus reinforcing the stereotype that oenophiles are snobbish stiff necks. It was at least nice to see, in the comments, that there are at least a few commenters who defy that stereotype.

I hope to taste that Portugese wine, it seems like a great deal. As for the guests, I found them to be the least insightful of any you have had on this show recently. I hope they do not return.

Any other Tagalog speakers out there? Bobo = Stupid in Tagalog.

Hey Gary, you know I have never had a full glass of wine in my life and will be turning 21 in the next couple of weeks and was just thinking about wine. I found your site through collegehumor.com and have to say that this opened my eyes to some good wines and I thank you for broadening your horizons with your guests, you sure sold me.

QOTD: I’ll have to take those questions under advisement and get back to you at a later date.

QOTD #1: It would smell like sugar and spice and everything nice.
QOTD #2: Tooth. It would be hard to hold a wine glass with one finger.

This is what makes wine great. Those two rapscallions, acxting all zany and the like. Love it. Theres no snobbery here (of course there never has been), and its just good PG-13 fun. I was seriously laughing harder than any previous episode…. nice job on the eye poke, I knew you had some Rowdy Roddy Piper in you. Humor aside, Im glad they actually opened up to different wines. Baby steps, just like me. QOTD1: Id rather not think about that, I want to have children later in life QOTD: Id rather have a robot head like Master Mold, except I spit Sour Patch Kids from my mouth. I think Id go with the one finger though. That would make for some wicked head slapping.

QOTD 1: No answer.

QOTD 2: One big tooth.

Kind of hit or miss. There’s a reason for editing sometimes. I think Gary was by far the funniest of the three. But big congratulations on an MTV show. I’d watch that.

1. It would smell like left-out next-day Arbys
2. Tooth. I need to save my fingers for when you propose to me at a ball game, Streeter! Sadly…only CH fans will get that one, but trust me it’s good.

QOTD 1: It would smell like awful.
QOTD 2: The tooth, come on.

General question here… why do you need to do the sniff and the swish? I understand you can gather more of the flavor and smells, but you don’t do that when you’re just drinking it with your meal or at a party. Why not judge a wine by drinking it like you would in a real life situation?
