GMM 2114: Will It Ice Cream Cake? Taste Test

Today we ask the age old question… – Will it ice cream cake? – Let’s talk about that. (bright music) – Good Mythical Morning. – And Happy Valentine’s day everybody. – Ooh! – We look forward to meeting that baby that you didn’t plan on nine months from now. (Link laughs) – All right. Now, of all the crazy concoctions that have come out of “Will It?” episodes, I think that our greatest achievement has to be inspiring somebody at the Baskin Robbins corporate space… – Space. – To ask an age old question of their own, will cake ice cream? – You’re saying you think that we invented ice cream cake on this show? – Yes. – I’m pretty sure that ice cream cake was invented in the 1600s. – Yeah and Spiderman’s British. Don’t be so humble. It’s time for… – [Both] Will it ice cream cake? – So to qualify as an ice cream cake, the dessert must have a layer of cake. – Yep. – A layer of ice cream. – Yep. – And some kind of frosting. – Yep. Now listen, I’ve been on a popcorn kick lately. Mostly because Stevie got me one of those big popcorn tins with four different kinds of popcorn in it for Christmas. – That thing is long gone in my house. – Hold on, she got one for you too? – Yeah. – I felt so special. – It’s like a popcorn renaissance at my house. Thank you. – Yeah. I love popcorn, but I also love ice cream cakes. In fact, I still to this day request them for my birthday and my wife usually provides one for me. So we’re combining these two. I think I’m about to have a really good time. We present the buttered popcorn ice cream cake, AKA “The Orville Redencaker.” – [Link] Look at this thing. – [Rhett] That is beautiful. – [Link] Woo, it’s amazing. Mythical Chef Josh… – [Rhett] Oh man, I can smell it too. – What did you do? – [Josh] Well, Rhett today I am your wife, and I’ll be providing the ice cream cake. – Thank you. – [Josh] We have salted buttered popcorn cake with pieces of popcorn baked right inside it. There’s a buttered popcorn ice cream, salted butter icing, and some salt sprinkles on top, movie theater popcorn butter drizzle, and popcorn all over for texture. – So sweet and salty, savory, sweet. Okay, I think the thing that makes popcorn such a movie theater thing is you can eat it without looking at it. So I believe that that is how we should approach this. – Okay. – So we gotta be looking at the movie, which is you. Mm-hmm. I don’t know how I just did what I just did. – How did you? – It was like one single motion. – How did you do that? – I had no idea there was gonna be anything on it when it came up to my face, but I can see it out of the corner of my eye that there’s something on there. – I had to cheat. – Dink it. – And sink it. – Was that your hand? – No. Oh! – Ooh, cold. – Oh my God. – I mean, it is awesome. – [Josh] Means we did our job. – How’d you turn it sideways? – Mm. Oh. It hurt my teeth. – How has this not been done before? It’s so buttery, but the sweetness of the ice cream and the cake at the same time… – I put too much in my mouth. – I’m putting more in my mouth. – [Josh] I have sympathy pains from Link’s teeth sensitivity right now. – Yeah. I should’ve got a smaller bite. – You need to see the dentist. – Now I’m able to enjoy it. – The dentist can put some guards over both the top and the bottom teeth. – Like a basketball player? – You need mouth guards so you can eat cold things on this show. Can we get one of those made? – Wow. – [Stevie] But what’s the texture of the popcorn itself? – A little mushy. – [Stevie] Okay. – Yeah. – But in a good way. It’s gonna stick in your teeth. It’s gonna be left behind a little bit. – The taste of the ice cream is so buttery, salty, and like you said, that sweetness. And then you’re left with… – God. – The chew of the popcorn. I just wanna keep eating it but I know there’s other things to taste. – Oh, that is so, so good. – That is a triumph. – Wow, Baskin Robbins, call me. And I will give you their number. – Buttered popcorn, will it ice cream cake? – [Both] Yes! – KFC thought that their double down sandwich was a good idea. – It was. – And that keeping their potato wedges was a bad idea. So can you really criticize us for concocting a KFC ice cream cake? – No, you can’t. – Introducing the new KFC Kentucky Fried Cake. – [Rhett] Or as I like to call it the… (Rhett clucks) Cake. – All right, Josh, what did you do? – [Josh] Oh God, a lot. So there’s a biscuit cake that’s been layered with ice cream that has chicken skin and corn infused into it. There’s a mashed potato frosting with gravy drizzles. – [Rhett] Mashed potato frosting you say? – [Josh] You heard that right? – Frosting. – [Josh] Coleslaw confetti, chopped chicken tenders, and some KFC sauce drizzles right on top. Yeah. That’s hard. – It’s hard. And every part is hard because it’s frozen. – [Josh] That’s correct, yeah cold. It’s cold. (fork bangs) The freezing temp of coleslaw, higher than you’d think – Lot of juicy mayo in that slaw. Now I’m a lover of the cold fried chicken, so. – I might need you to put your hand on this thing. You might need to grip it or just stab it and hold it in place. – [Josh] No amount of anybody’s culinary school training in the kitchen prepared them for this. – We’re gonna have to eat this like an apple. (all laugh) – Okay, I… – And I know that’s tough for you. – Look at the goosebumps, I just cannot. – [Stevie] Or like a piece of fried chicken? Cause the popcorn and now you’re eating fried chicken with your hands. Finger licking. – I can’t watch or listen. Ahh! – Oh, God. What’s that on the bottom? – [Josh] Is that the biscuit cake? Is it hard? – Yeah. – [Josh] If it’s the hardest thing it’s the biscuit cake. – Oh. – [Josh] Yeah. We should’ve had like a physicist come in for this one cause we… (Josh laughs) – Okay. – [Josh] Yeah, just chip off the confetti with an ice pick. – It tastes pretty good. – Milky. – It’s very milky. – [Josh] That could come from a lot of things, frankly. – [Rhett] Oh, there’s corn in there. – [Josh] Mm-hmm, that’s in the ice cream. – It’s hard to like. (Rhett laughs) (Rhett mumbles) – Good God. – Yeah cause I’ll grab… – I can’t get through that layer. – The chicken out of the fridge and just start eating that the next day and the slaw, I guess. But just a biscuit? I mean, it’s just so… (biscuit thuds) – You know when you’re digging in the yard… – Hard. And you hit a big rock? – And you hit a big rock. – I gotta get out that big rock and then bite it. – Yeah. – Yeah, that’s what we’re experiencing. KFC will it ice cream cake? – [Both] No. – Some things are just better together. Batman and Robin, peanut butter and peanut butter, the two of us and t-shirts from the Mythical Store.

I mean, we did just have popcorn and Kentucky Fried Chicken. – Yeah. – But you usually think sweet. – Right. – If you’re normal. But what if you’re dumb for thinking that? Maybe you should have been thinking sour all along? – Oh. – Introducing… See, I’m doing this like a sour guy. – Yeah, you’re being sour. – Why Suck on a Lemon When You Can Eat Cake, cake. – This is the sourest ice cream cake in existence? – This side of the Mississippi. – [Josh] It’s the sourest ice cream cake I’ve ever seen. – Oh, look at that. – How often do you use the phrase, “This side of the Mississippi,” Cause I haven’t been using it as much lately. – Use it more. I love it when you use it. Mythical Chef Josh, what did you do? – [Josh] Well, we made a rainbow Sour Patch Kids cake. There’s a fun dip ice cream with sour worms inside, a sour belt design with a lot of sour candy on the outside, and then a toxic waste drizzle. – Toxic waste drizzle? – [Josh] It’s a goo for the children. – So they just eat straight up sour liquids. – Can you just imagine transporting yourself back into the eighties when we were kids, and we went to a kid’s birthday party and they had this cake and how badass we would’ve thought they were? Like Julian and Chris would’ve had this cake. – Oh yeah. They were so West Coast. – They moved in from the West Coast man. Same year. – Mm. – They had skateboards and weird hair. I was like, “How did those guys get so cool?” – And “How can we get in on that, man?” – I spent the night at both of their houses in the first two weeks. Cause you know me, that’s what I do. – A lot of scarring. Lots of scarring. (Rhett laughs) – What do you mean, emotionally? – No, I just mean, I think cause they just… – [Rhett] They got hurt all the time. – They got hurt all the time on their skateboards. Lots of leg scarring. – How do you feel about the cake though? – I looked at their leg scars and I was like, “I am never spending the night at their houses.” – I really like this cake. – This is great. – This one goes out to Julian and Chris. – It’s cold and sour. – Thinking about you. How do you think they ended up? Probably not good. – I’d like to reconnect with ’em. – [Rhett] Yeah. – Take a look at their legs. – [Stevie] Were they twins? I’m confused. – No, they were both from the West Coast, showed up the same year. We were like, “What? People move here from there?” – [Stevie] Huh, wow. – Oh gosh, this really does work. – I had also moved here from Thousand Oaks, California but that didn’t count. – This is for the children. – This is for the bad kids. – They’re gonna love it. (all laugh) – You know what I’m saying? This is for the bad kids. – It’s for the bad kids with the leg scars. – The kids who had the Garbage Pail Kid cards. – It’s very refreshing. – I want more of it. – And futuristic. – Futuristic. – Sour candy, will it ice cream cake? – [Both] Yes! – If I could be serious for a second, the one thing everybody is looking for on Valentine’s Day is to get banged… With a Bang energy drink, of course. – [Josh] Oh. – That’s right. We made this one with Bang and we’re calling it, “The Fornicake.” (Rhett laughs) – Okay well, when Nicole set this on the desk, she said, “You can douse it with this Bang on top.” – Yeah, Bang it. [Link] Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah. Whoa! Wait, wait, wait. – Okay, okay, okay. – Okay, there we go. All right. Give me a slice, homie. – Okay. – [Link] Mythical Chef Josh, what did you do? – [Josh] Oh, crimes against humanity. So we took Bang’s Keto Coffee, Cookies and Cream drinks. – Oh, my favorite one. – [Josh] It’s good. It’s got protein and caffeine. All the things kids need. And then we made a cake out of that. And then there’s the Frose Rose ice cream. – The cake it’s very… – [Josh] Yeah, there’s a lot of competing flavors. Bang really has just a panoply of options out there. – Oh! – [Josh] And then we have Purple Haze and Rainbow Unicorn frosting, topped with a Bang candle. Wash out the taste with the Bang. – It’s pretty, man. – [Josh] Get banged with more Bang. – Oh gosh. – [Josh] I drank a couple Bangs to warm up for this too. – I can tell. – It’s very pungent in its smell. – In its smell. I think I got too big of a bite but let’s see what happens. – Mm. – Oh. – Wow. – Oh! – Packs a punch. – [Josh] Yeah, ride the lightning gentleman. (Link babbles) – Its so cold. It got me in the molars, man. – [Link] Oh really? – In the back. – Well, welcome to my world, all of mine. – You know the international sign for, it got me in the molars? If you ever get lost on a mountain. – I’m gonna get banged again just a little bit. – If you ever get lost on a mountain, and you’re out of flares and somebody shows up… They’ll know what to do. “This man’s got something in his molars!” “This man’s getting it in the molars!” – It’s a sherbety thing. – [Rhett] Sherbety is exactly what I was thinking. – I would call it a sherbet cake. – I like it. – It really grows on you. – If you show up at the Bang Energy CEO’s house when his wife is having a birthday party he’ll just let you in. (Link laughs) – Okay, yeah. I know what you’re referring to, that episode of “How To with John Wilson,” big fans of that show. – Oh man, that’s the best show on television. – If you haven’t watched “How To with John Wilson,” you should do it. I mean, don’t stop watching this to watch it but definitely watch it afterwards. – Maybe do a two screen experience. – Yeah, do a two screen experience. – Keep us on the big one. – And get a Bang going. – And put that one on the small screen. – This is fun. – It’s really good, man. – I’m really, I’m jolted. – Yeah! I love it! – Mm-hmm. Bang Energy drink, will it ice cream cake? – [Both] Yes! – Here’s some logic for you. Ice cream cakes make great birthday cakes. – Uh-huh. – But wouldn’t they be even better if they actually made birthdays? I’m talking about an aphrodisiac cake. – Oh! – Behold, the Baby Maker, Ice Cream Caker. – [Rhett] What is that? – [Link] It’ll get you pregnant. (all laugh) – I certainly hope it doesn’t reverse our vasectomies. – I can tell it’s heart shaped. Maybe not from your angle, but I see you. – Is there oysters on top of this thing? – [Josh] Uh-huh, yeah, big aphrodisiac, get you all horned up. – And are there still some inside as well? – [Josh] Yes, there’s a lot. There’s a lot of oysters inside. The oysters are actually infused into the ice cream, that was the base. – Oh, my favorite. – [Josh] Yeah, oyster ice cream. It was invented in 1582 or whatever. Black truffle and red wine in the cake, ginseng and oyster ice cream, hot chili whipped cream, roses, both fresh and dried on the top, more oysters on the half shell with crushed pistachios, and some chocolate covered strawberries. – Now, before we eat this thing you have to get enthusiastic consent from both partners. Do you wanna do this? – Well, I think it’s, “Do you mind if I do this?” Do you mind if I do this? – No, it’s enthusiastic. Do you want us to do this? – I want us to do this so bad. – I want us to do this so bad. – Okay. – [Josh] Y’all need a third? (all laugh) – Sure. Hold on, I’m gonna need a chainsaw. (Rhett groans) – [Link] Okay. – What are those? Are these little roses on the outside? – Uh-huh, yeah, they’re dried roses. – It smells like a funeral. – “Uh-huh, dried roses.” – [Josh] Try and contain yourself after this one, gentlemen. – Oh gosh, I can smell it. Oh, man. It’s coming real strong. – [Josh] The smell of love. – What’s that thing where you take the rose petal and you do this, then you go… (hand smacks) – And it makes a pop. – That’s a thing? That’s a thing? – You put it right there. – Anybody know about this? You got a rose trick I didn’t know about it? – It didn’t quite work. (Link’s lips smacking) – Okay, I’m gonna eat the actual cake. – Oh gosh. (Rhett chuckles) – Woo. (Link gags) – Eating a rose petal is not a great idea, but they are edible. The things you’ll eat in the heat of the moment. – It tastes like I was driving to The Grove… – Eww! – My brakes stopped working, I went into that farmer’s market area with all the restaurants and stuff… (Link retches) – What is that? – And then there was an explosion of some kind, and I have my mouth open at the same time. And all of that went into my mouth is exactly what it tastes like right now. Like there’s a florist, – [Josh] Yeah. – There’s a seafood market, – [Josh] Uh-huh. – There’s the place that does the cupcakes. – [Josh] Yeah, we went there. – That’ll help. – Oh no, it won’t. – Oh really? What did you do to the strawberries? – There’s oysters in that chocolate. – [Josh] Yeah, there’s oyster juice in pretty much everything. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought I was about to be rescued. (Link groans) – [Josh] The oyster juice is what really drives your juices. That’s what they don’t tell you, everything else is just window dressing. – Why is that? – I’m gonna have to call it a day and call my wife ahead of time. – I mean I’m the opposite of engorged. You know what I’m saying? – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah. – I do not wanna… – You’re shrinking right now, yeah, yeah. Lots of shrinkage. – Well, no, what I meant was I don’t wanna gorge on this. – Oh, okay. – [Josh] The turtle back in the shell. – I was taking you a little too literally, George Costanza. Man, really appreciate the effort here. – Hey, man. – Hey, man. – Man. – Appreciate the effort. I think the thing to do is to grind all this up into a powder and put it into a capsule. – [Josh] Oh? – Sell it as Josh’s Sex Pills. – [Josh] Josh’s Suppository. – Josh’s Sex Pills, available now at 7-Eleven. – Take it from the top or take it in the bottom. – Aphrio-disiac…afriac… (all laugh) – Yeah. – Aphrodisiacs, will it ice cream cake? – [Rhett] No. – Oh my goodness. It was worth a shot and hey, a good track record today. Only two of them bombed and those are still good. It’s good for things to bomb. Let’s remember that. – You can’t win it every day.
