History WebVideo / EpicMealTime

*** You had to go to Wiki/ThatOtherWiki to learn Muscles Glasses' real name: Alex Perrault.

With the audacity to call themselves an "online cooking show", the first efforts soon expanded into meat sculptures, questionable uses of bacon, "meat glue", [[TrademarkFavoriteFood bacon]] and [[UpToEleven five birds in a pig]] - and [[OverlyLongGag bacon]].

* AlterEgoActing: In almost all appearances outside of the show, Harley seems to have the same attitude, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl0DNfRLyGg this video]] looks like the other appearances were simply his personality notched UpToEleven to maintain the on-screen character.

** Taken UpToEleven in "Maximum Mac and Cheese" with no fewer than ''sixteen'' young attractive women participating in a massive banquet of over-the-top macaroni dishes.

* UpToEleven: Their holiday specials, the "[=TurBaconEpic=] Thanksgiving" and "The Slaughterhouse".
** "The Sloppy Big Ben Roethlisberger" was so large and beyond sane even Harley began to sputter as he was getting psyched to make it.
** The "Turbaconepicentipede" took the "[=TurBacon=] Epic Thanksgiving" and multiplied it by ten. They didn't just break the previous calorie count the Roethlisberger had: they ''destroyed it'' at more than 800,000 calories.

Next time, we eat {{Wiki/Wikipedia}}!

* {{Corpsing}}: Mook is prone to corpsing when Harley is on camera. Examples include the Gentlemen Beef Wellington, and Candy Sushi episodes.

* IdeaBulb: "Breakfast Pizza" starts with Harley getting out a frozen pizza for breakfast, then seeing a more traditional plate of breakfast food on the kitchen island. He compares them, then a bulb appears and illuminates over his head. Tyler promptly notices it. The scene provides the trope's page quote.

** With ''{{Chopped}}'': Prince Atari (also billed under his real name) appeared on an October 2016 episode that featured stars of online cooking shows. He was eliminated in the Appetizer round.

** Maximum Mac and Cheese: One of the two guys in the beginning of the episode [[DirtyWork presses "G8" on the jukebox, when he meant to press "G7"]].

* WidgetSeries: Averted. Although plenty strange, its over-the-topness is way more American in inspiration than Canadian.

* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: All the time:

* YouHaveToHaveJews: The show that cooks more pigs than a police station on fire is somehow staffed almost entirely by Jews. Prince Atari is the only non-Jew out of the main hosts/chefs, and they don't have many more than that working behind the scenes. ''Epic Meal Empire'' shows that their families aren't any better at keeping kosher.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY" In "Candy Poutine", Cousin Dave corrects Harley's mixing-up of 'ganache' and Grenache brand caramel. When Harley does it again, saying "carmel" and Dave corrects him, he drops a PrecisionFStrike on Dave.

* BadassBeard: Harley's grew in during the run of the series.
** And it eventually grew to cover most of the lower half of his face. He's shaved it off a couple of times and let it grow back.

** Fish and Chips Filet: "The bacon has landed on the strip; [[StarWars execute order 66.]]"

* StuffedInTheFridge: The guys take it to a literal meaning by stuffing Jamie Oliver in the fridge so they can feed him the Fish and Chips Filet.

Their [[http://epicmealtime.com/ website]] is also. They have made an appearance on [[Series/TheTonightShow Jay Leno]], where they made a shepherd's pie that was also a car.

So [[CanadaEh a Montreal high school substitute teacher and his friends]] decided one day to put a ton of fast food items onto a pizza shell, cover that in cheese and cook it. Then, surprisingly, it got hits. Now, they've turned their gluttony into a weekly series devoted to the most high-calorie and fattening dishes imaginable: Epic Meal Time. The show started in October 2010 and is still ongoing, with new episodes every Tuesday.

Their [[http://epicmealtime.com/ website]] is at last up and running. They have made an appearance on [[Series/TheTonightShow Jay Leno]], where they made a shepherd's pie that was also a car.

Their new show, ''Epic Chef'', a CookingDuel between two contestants who have their meals judged by Harley and two guest judges, premiered in December 2012. New episodes are posted every Friday in addition to the regular ''Epic Meal Time'' episodes every Tuesday.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In "The Ostrich Nest":
-->'''Harley''': "We got a whole bowl of ostrich eggs! On Epic Meal Time, we fist our ostrich eggs! (Camera pans to a bowl full of ostrich egg yolks) [[ItMakesSenseInContext Look at me fist those chicks]]! (Harley literally dunks his fist to beat the egg yolks) [[ItMakesSenseInContext Yeah, I'm fisting chicks]]...[[RefugeInAudacity on the Internet...on Youtube]]."

* DrinkOrder: Jack Daniels, mother''([[SoundEffectBleep caw!]])''!!

-->'''Harley:''' In the kitchen, no candy missin'! We got gay bacon strips. We got gay sour worms.[[note]]gummi worms in the same neon rainbow coloring as "gay bacon strips"[[/note]] We got candy [[SoundEffectBleep (caw!)]] rings.[[note]]just gummi [=LifeSavers=][[/note]] And we got some candy fruit! Not a big deal. *deep inhale* Smell that? We've got real bacon, too!

** "French Fry Week": during the week of October 3, 2011, the guys released one episode per day with [[CaptainObvious french fries as the central ingredient]]. They ended off the week with a 15-pound poutine.

*** Harley: "Next time, we eat Franchise/CabbagePatchKids!"

** [[SilenceOfTheLambs Puzzle of the Lambs]]: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_Chop%27s_Play-Along Lamb Chops Slay-A-Long]]

* IThoughtItMeant: One episode has Creator/KevinSmith on the show making some recipes. He soon asks when they're gonna have sex with his wife and they correct him that it's a COOKING show and not a CUCKING (watching your partner having sex with other partners) show.

** Sausage Fest: "[[CrocodileDundee THIS is a knife]]!"

* VerySpecialEpisode: EMT celebrates the SuperBowl each year with a meal named after one of the quarterbacks. They've done "The Sloppy Roethlisberger" (a 50-pound bacon cheeseburger with custom bun; the first single item to break 100,000 calories), "Dirty Manningwich" (a large sloppy joe with clam chowder) and "Flacco Taco" (a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin gigantic taco]]). They are 2-for-3 as of [=SB XLVII=] in predicting the winner.

*** Harley: "Look at that, ShaneDawson!"

** [[GearsOfWar Meat Shield]]

** West Coast Burger Pile: "Dont drink the [[LimpBizkit hot dog-flavored Jack Daniels, you chocolate starfish]]!"
