Recap / Citation Needed S 1 E 5 Bossche Bol And Nuns Puffs

Go To

Tom and the rest of the Tech-Dif crew talk about the sweet bun that is a Nun's Puff.

Article of Discussion: Bossche bol.


Tropes:

  • Atomic F-Bomb: Gary says "Viennese Whirl" when naming pastries; when he's told that it's wrongnote , he shouts "BULLSH***T!!!" in response.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Tom, while stipulating that Cheux Patry is under Eclair; Matt immediately says "Eclair" to get an easy point, much to his annoyance.
  • Edible Ammunition: A running theme is the crew all weaponise various sweet treats; Tom suggests a profiterole trebuchet, while Gary suggests custard balloons in a Navy Frigate.
  • Genre Shift: The show briefly turns into a quiz for naming pastries, which Tom does award points for.
  • Non-Indicative Name: Nun's Puffs are not when a Nun farts.
  • Serial Numbers Filed Off: Discussed as an In-Universe real life example. Bootleg Cronuts are discussed, with "Dossent" being named as the name of one such pastry.
  • Shaped Like Itself: When a larger version of a Bossche Bol's name is translated, it is "Bigger ball".
  • Shout-Out: To The Price Is Right and the first use of the Price is Right rules system (closest without going over) to determine the correct answer.
  • Toilet Humor: Gary and Matt mime the action of popping a spot onto a profiterole.
  • Take That!: Towards the French, Bitcoin, and Italians (The French for the food names of pastries, Bitcoin for its notorious instability economically and Italians for stupid names).
