With Ray's new outfit, I can't help but think that his shoulders are sort of hunched over, which just makes him seem even angrier. That and his eyebrows. Ray is normally such a laid-back guy, but when he gets worked up about something, man oh man.

You'd have thought science could have faked the authentic taste of real chicken by now. Ideally, we would have some sort of extract we could add to any protein to make it taste like real chicken. Instead, the dismal science has led to cheap factory chicken that has no taste. This is one of the many ways that living in the future has been disappointing.

Guys, this arc is terrible. It is like the local Ford dealership making totally topical commercials at their normal volume and taste level where the People Choose. It is like an Arbys commercial where the kind of anodyne, bloodless 'political discussion' they have in newspaper comics turns out to be about the five-for-five Ar-B-Qs versus the Market Fresh Sandwiches.
I don't know what Onstad is aiming for here, but the general vibe is like Garrison Keillor trying to hit on a visibly aging riot grrl: uncomfortable; unfunny; and monstrously unsexy. Reruns would be better. For the love of God, can we please have a punchline or put this shit to bed.
P.S.: Living in a hyper-service-industry-capitalist swing state means I have to deal with the asinine pseudo-political ads a few months before you. Maybe the punchline is Chris gets this shit in your head and then the third separate commercial in which the Hamburglar accuses Ronald McDonald of being a Muslim is going to make you throw yourself through plate glass. And you'll have deserved it for rating this shit a five. It wouldn't even deserve a 3 if it weren't almost at a 4.

Damn straight he's right. And do you know what makes for good chicken, sonny boy? Grass, corn, and bugs. Not antibiotics or that arsenic additive shit, just grass, corn, and bugs.
Plus eleven spices and herbs, and fear.
No, fear makes the meat hell of gamey. Modified death chickens for everyone!
Absolutely. Ideally, the chicken shouldn't know he's dead until his head looks up and sees his body coming all crispy and delicious out of the fryer.
i have no idea how that would work...but it could be awesome.
it thinks it's all lying on a sandy beach but it turns out it's really breading!
OOOOOOHHHHHHH SSSSHHHIIIIITTTTT!
Sorry to be able to tell you this, but they're doing exactly that to fish in Taiwan .
The link is to a text story, but the story has a link to video of people eating a fish's body while the head is still alive. Somewhere else I saw a video of the actual cooking procedure, but I couldn't find that.
This is part of why I'm vegetarian.
We all know fish don't have feelings.
Chubbied for scientific truth.
Or maybe they do, but just in a way that's hard to care about.
If a fish had the choice, it would eat you in exactly the same way.
Great comment/avatar synergy here. I'm totally getting the impression that Ray has just dramatically turned towards the camera to give this pronouncement of theoretical piscine aggression.
Chubbied for "theoretical piscine aggression".
That's one of the most frightening things I've ever heard of.

And monkey's brains, though popular in Cantonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington D.C!
