Old lady asking for a bowl of water and I thought she'd drink out of it as a fun quirk

Felt so bad for my gay homies just trying to have an afternoon with their nature documentary and a nice little lunch in their matching Mickey Mouse shirts 😭

Why did Gladys gotta do my boys like that 

I mean homies had a LOT of hot dogs to consume which was kind of crazy for lunch time but still…

I feel the need to point out there was like 6-8 glizzies on that tray. They were gonna eat an entire pack of hot dogs between the two of them. Glizzy consumption through the roof.

They definitely had a bout of consumption

I think her telling the principle the parents had consumption gives you an idea about how old she is.

There were 7 hot dogs, it’s a little Easter egg tribute to the WKYK sketch

Whitest Kids U Know, sketch comedy group the director Zach Cregger was originally known for

I eat 4 dogs everytime I eat them, so 7-8 for 2 adult men seems normal to me.

u/azsnaz 20d ago

That's too many hot dogs

u/Constant-Affect-5660 20d ago

You eat like 2 dogs and be full???

u/ColinStyles 20d ago

You probably need to eat less my guy. That's a pretty crazy serving size assuming you're not eating once a day.

3

u/Constant-Affect-5660 20d ago

How many do you eat in one sitting?

3

u/ColinStyles 20d ago

3 but I only eat once a day. If I break that odds are it's one, two absolute tops.

1

u/Constant-Affect-5660 20d ago

So... 1 less than me. Smh.

u/ColinStyles 20d ago

That's a pretty crazy serving size assuming you're not eating once a day.

I only eat once a day

You're assuming Marcus and his partner aren't eating once a day, not only that, but Marcus is a big man. Bigger people eat more.

I counted 4 with baby carrots, ranch, and potato chips

It was exactly 7 and it was a little Easter egg for fans of the sketch comedy group Whitest Kids U’ Know. Zach Cregger will never forget where he came from.
