We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.

The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.

Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

Both overrated. The good ones have a fairly low financial input on a monthly basis. The worst ones can set your house on fire.

Highly exciting.

I can't grill burgers with the grease being drained off using a girlfriend.

Likewise, I can't make out with a George Foreman grill without burning my lips.

Difference between girls and George Foreman grills for me? A girl has never brought me to orgasm.

I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon—sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman Grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill, I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me. It's the perfect way to start the day. Today I got up, I stepped onto the grill and it clamped down on my foot… that's it. I don't see what's so hard to believe about that.

Had a Foreman Grill once. Yeah, it drains off the grease, but leaves the burger dry and flavorless. Used it maybe once.

And next to impossible to clean.

Some models had grill plates that you could remove and wash like a pan. I used one a lot until the new novelty wore off. (Insert girlfriend joke here)

Tell me you weren't a young adult in the early 2000s without telling me you weren't a young adult in the early 2000s.

My experience with the George forman grill, which I assume is a common one, is to have only ever gotten them second hand and thus without the drip tray.

Try to use it as a grill and it will spill grease and oil all over your countertop. HOWEVER, they make a great panini press 🙂

George Foreman grills can't cook when the power goes out. Girlfriends who know how the gas stove works can.

But alas we wouldn't really know. This sounds like a theory we'd have to dissect.
