brian, i hope this comment finds you well. i tried making this delicious pepcorn -- like a fool -- in a deep saucepan with no rim. by the time i saw the tinfoil inching up the sides mid-cook and lunged for my tongs in a panic to keep it steady, it was too late. once the foil popped off, so too did hot kernels, scalding chili oil, and flammable bits of popcorn go flying all across my studio apartment like a one-woman wizard fight in the cold city streets on the fourth of july. some landed directly on my electric gas range, starting an open flame that set off my smoke alarm and since that day, i continue to share this video with my loved ones so they can enjoy this delicious treat that almost killed me. it's great with parmesan.
My mom and I are HUGE popcorn junkies, so I showed her this video in the hopes we could try it out. She was rather hesitant at first, especially since she knows I’m a wuss with spicy food (also we have one of those hand-crank popcorn spinners instead of a wok and weren’t sure if this would compromise the recipe). So we worked up to it: first, we decided to put the salt into the cooking oil instead of sprinkling it on the popcorn afterwards. This turned out to be a GAME CHANGER, and she vowed to never do it the old way ever again. Then I got my hands on a jar of Lao Gan Ma. We started by just using the oil and setting aside the solids. VERY tasty. Then we both added the solids; ALSO very tasty, but I’m a huge wuss and can only handle a little bit, so Mom claimed the rest. If it weren’t for heartburn we’d try the chili powder, and maybe one day we’ll work up to that too, but even with just the Lao Gan Ma it’s DELICIOUS. Five stars, 10/10, would recommend Pepcorn to a friend that isn’t my mom.
My mother would scream at us for doing things she said we should do. We built a couch / sheet fort. She placed an expensive vase on top of a shelf to hold part of it in place. I asked "are you sure thats a good idea?" (as a child under 10). When my dad came home, she started yelling at him about "the kids". How they broke her prized pottery and also cracked the floor tiles in the process. That's normal for mom.
I love how you say "I got my hands on a jar of Lao Gan Ma", as if its a rare delicacy that you fought a dragon for! Fight on, Popcorn Warrior. Fight on...
dragon1130 honey dearest, alton brown has been a food show host for 20 years. i don’t know if he’s a household name or whatever, but he’s not exactly obscure
Tried this with two tablespoons of chili oil, because I didn't want to make it too spicy. It tastes like buttered popcorn with a very subtle pep. I will come back to this comment after trying it with more chili oil. UPDATE: You really can't overdo the Lao Gan Ma.
@@egon3705 You are practically unable to. Lao Gan Ma is not exactly spicy. It's a savory flavor and it's absolutely delicious. To add heat, he used gochugaru. If you want to add heat, read up on what kind of gochugaru you're getting - I once accidentally bought very mild gochugaru that was used as a not-spicy flavoring. Spoiler alert, I can't read Korean. Note: Lao Gan Ma is Chinese.

I was a professional chef for thirteen years and I never thought to make popcorn in a wok. I literally built a purpose specific popcorn tool instead for doing it in cast iron. I'm trying your method tonight my dude.
So I actually read the Terms & Conditions. It's just the Apple T&C, but with "Apple" replaced with "Pepcorn". This is great and all, but there are grammatical errors, since there's multiple uses of "An Pepcorn", instead of the proper "A Pepcorn". I don't know why I did this. You're welcome.

"First and last cooking video" gosh brian, have you already forgotten the horrors of trying to make 78 recipes in one day, have you forgotten, the steamed porgy
@@gabrielblanchard3921 based on the premise of the video (using the fewest ingredients possible), the ingredient list provided, and the lack of rise in the dough, im pretty sure its just a dough of flour, water, and salt, fried in goat butter. the exact measurements probably arent that important, considering i don't think they did any either, lol. just dont use too much salt, i guess. good luck if you try it out!
I never realized it before, but I physically require a "BDG tries to keep up with a professional chef" crossover as soon as civilization is ready to start rebuilding
I realized that if I ordered all of the ingredients for Pepcorn on Amazon, it wouldn't arrive until Wednesday. Then after all of that time between me watching this on April 4th, I'd totally forget why I am getting Lao Gan Ma, Gochugaru and a tub of Popcorn.
I haven't made pepcorn yet because I'm only midway through the video, but I just want to confirm some things I have learned in my popping days for y'all: - Buying buckets of popcorn kernels and stovepopping is 100% the way to go, i can't even enjoy microwave bag popcorn anymore - 1/2 cup kernels is, by experiment, about the same as a "large" at an average movie theatre - i personally disagree with the use of so little oil, but i'd never go higher than equal portions kernels-to-oil - for the best movie theatre taste and movie theatre heart disease, the correct type of common household oil is butter-flavored crisco - do not use a shallow or small pot/pan. You need at minimum a large saucepan, but even there you need a lid instead of foil
straight off the bat, the style gives this video a VERY strong vibe. I do not know what that vibe is, but I love it. 10/10 content once again thank u brian
anyone notice that the "Anyone can Cook" sign in the background, because of the cursive font, can read like "Anyone Can Wok"? I thought this was amusing and topical
can we please get bdg on bon appetit when this is all over? he definitely has the raw chaotic energy needed to be on it's alive, or bdg on tries to keep up with a professional chef!!!
No, no aim higher - Great British Bakeoff - Comic Relief. I'd pay to see that :D (it's full GBBO but with random celebrities who may or may not know anything about baking).
For five straight minutes I was thinking what vibe this look was giving off and I came into the comment section and saw everyone saying "lesbian aunt" and I immediately shouted "yes.... YES"
Today I finally got around to making this pepcorn. I can now attest to the fact that it's insanely delicious. And also: I shockingly had 100% of my kernels popped without burning the popcorn, so wok-corn is a miracle in itself, even if you hate spices so much that you don't want them touching your food.
6:18 to 6:26 has big Portal 2, Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You energy, where Glados says 'Well this is the part when he kills us' and Wheatley says 'Hello, this is the part where I kill you' and you get an achievement saying 'the part where he kills you' along with the text 'this is that part'. Hi, I'm Brian David Gilbert, and in this episode of Unraveled I'll be explaining why Portal 2 is a cinematic masterpiece
The best part is 9:46 when Karen very gently reminds Brian to call the popcorn "pepcorn" and Brian, equally gently, responds that he's going to get to it. That's true love baby.
Lmao I only have 71 likes but that's still the most likes I've ever gotten on a comment, why? XD are there that many John Mulaney fans that are also BDG fans?
It took unimaginable strength for me to click on this video after last week’s incident. A single kernel caused a massive fire and I did end up burning a hole in the floor and passing out. Everyone please admire my strength in these trying times.
im in love with this video it's literally got all my favourite bdg qualities in it like the fun text editing, the stuttering and homey personal feel, the background commentary (ilysm karen pls do more), the neuroticism, the flamboyance, being educated, and just all the jokes like i laughed so hard at the final autotune
BDG joins *every television chef on earth* in doing so. You should see Indian chef shows when they say "a teaspoon" and basically throw a bowl of chili in one veggie dish!
@@nessaoc8801 upon further inspection, you might be right! AHHH Ok I see where our brains got so confused. He grabs that tablespoon right while closing the salt container but it's defo a tsp.
(it really was just a half a teaspoon of salt, i grabbed a tablespoon for the next shot to put in the oil, if you put in a tablespoon of fine salt you will perish, and i’m saying this as someone who loves salt)
you'd think a couple called karen and brian would be like. your traditional straight mid 50s WASP neighbours but instead we get these two wonderful creatures

i used to play this a lot while cooking during the pandemic because the house was too quiet.

I was a professional chef for thirteen years and I never thought to make popcorn in a wok. I literally built a purpose specific popcorn tool instead for doing it in cast iron. I'm trying your method tonight my dude.
So I actually read the Terms & Conditions. It's just the Apple T&C, but with "Apple" replaced with "Pepcorn". This is great and all, but there are grammatical errors, since there's multiple uses of "An Pepcorn", instead of the proper "A Pepcorn".
I don't know why I did this. You're welcome.
Does that mean you’ve also read the apple terms and conditions
an pepcorn
Hey, I was extremely disappointed to find out support.pepcorn.com was not a wrbsite
Same and it took forever to read
I did as well but not the entire thing, I just looked at a few points and was like "yeah no this is apple but replaced with pepcorn lol"
I’m weirdly happy that Brian and Hunzi are aware of each other.
Same. It's a weird feeling that Hunzi and BDG know each others existence. Maybe BDG should be on It's Alive

"First and last cooking video" gosh brian, have you already forgotten the horrors of trying to make 78 recipes in one day, have you forgotten, the steamed porgy
bold of you to call that cooking
Repressed memories
i still want the fried bread recipe
@@omega1575 hard same
@@gabrielblanchard3921 based on the premise of the video (using the fewest ingredients possible), the ingredient list provided, and the lack of rise in the dough, im pretty sure its just a dough of flour, water, and salt, fried in goat butter.
the exact measurements probably arent that important, considering i don't think they did any either, lol. just dont use too much salt, i guess.
good luck if you try it out!
The reaction shot I was expecting:
"Oh that's good!"
The reaction shot:
"Ou!"
Dont you mean ¡_Œăh_!
@@alicepersson9568 Yes, that is more correct, I wasn't sure how to get the inflection just right.
I never realized it before, but I physically require a "BDG tries to keep up with a professional chef" crossover as soon as civilization is ready to start rebuilding
I realized that if I ordered all of the ingredients for Pepcorn on Amazon, it wouldn't arrive until Wednesday. Then after all of that time between me watching this on April 4th, I'd totally forget why I am getting Lao Gan Ma, Gochugaru and a tub of Popcorn.
In generations, when the year of our lord April 8 arrives, the prophecy will be fulfilled and Lao Gan Ma shall arrive unto the house of Blessious
Did anyone notice when he says

This feels like a Monkeys Paw scenario. Someone wished for Brian to start making videos on his channel again. The wish...was granted.
but at what cost 😔
Are you implying Expensive Lesbian Lao Gan Ma Brian is not an improvement on Bureaucratic Wunderkind Waluigi Brian
@@rynabuns are you implying he is?
because maybe
@@rynabuns I thought the monkey paw's part wasn't that the video was bad, but that it cost a global pandemic and lockdown
@@kittyklownz I was about to reply the same thing... tbh, it was worth it.
I haven't made pepcorn yet because I'm only midway through the video, but I just want to confirm some things I have learned in my popping days for y'all:
- Buying buckets of popcorn kernels and stovepopping is 100% the way to go, i can't even enjoy microwave bag popcorn anymore
- 1/2 cup kernels is, by experiment, about the same as a "large" at an average movie theatre
- i personally disagree with the use of so little oil, but i'd never go higher than equal portions kernels-to-oil
- for the best movie theatre taste and movie theatre heart disease, the correct type of common household oil is butter-flavored crisco
- do not use a shallow or small pot/pan. You need at minimum a large saucepan, but even there you need a lid instead of foil
"Phil Collins should score another Disney movie."
Oh boy do I have a treat for you...it's called Brother Bear. You can thank me later
Under👏rated👏classic👏
My favorite Disney movie !!!
We watched on the band trip. The entire bus was crying

I need Brian on an episode of Its Alive now. His chaotic energy combined with Brad's would be amazing
i wonder how he'd fare on a back to back challenge
@@anveerchanderman3388 I say when quarantine is over we spam BAs and BDGs social media to make that happen
Brian...my wife has had no sense of taste or smell for over 2 weeks due to COVID-19. She tasted tasted the popcorn! Amazing.
straight off the bat, the style gives this video a VERY strong vibe. I do not know what that vibe is, but I love it. 10/10 content once again thank u brian
It's pure chaotic BDG energy
I believe that the VIBE would be “Bon Apetite’s It’s Alive with Brad Leone”. Specifically brought about by the editing techniques used by Hunzi 😂
Sometimes I watch these old videos because I just like hearing Brian tell me stuff.
Same.
anyone notice that the "Anyone can Cook" sign in the background, because of the cursive font, can read like "Anyone Can Wok"? I thought this was amusing and topical
I actually hadn't realized that, but now that you've pointed it out, that is extremely amusing and topical! Thank you for this comment haha
🤯
I have not seen it the first time watching. Thank you for pointing out such an amusing and topical play on words!
I thought you said it was amusing and tropical
this is the most on-task bdg has ever been in one of his videos and yet he seems the most unhinged
So no one‘s going to comment on how amazingly he’s mimicking Brad Leone’s aloof cadence and scatterbrained rambling? This is master class
can we please get bdg on bon appetit when this is all over? he definitely has the raw chaotic energy needed to be on it's alive, or bdg on tries to keep up with a professional chef!!!
He even shouts out Hunziker, this might not be too far out of the realm of possibility!
Or the back to back cooking show!
This needs to happen. It just has to. I feel he would be a great chaotic energy in “Back to Back” or something like that too.
Back to back chef would be the ideal show to have BDG as a guest! Carla's sass is a perfect match for him
No, no aim higher - Great British Bakeoff - Comic Relief. I'd pay to see that :D
(it's full GBBO but with random celebrities who may or may not know anything about baking).
"Phil Colins should score another Disney movie". I didn't think I'd come out of a cooking video with such strong convictions
forget disney, phill collins should score another movie, period
Peter Gabriel should. Not pop Peter Gabriel, insane prog Peter Gabriel with the flower costume.
"I'll never make another cooking video again"
Later: Midnight gourmaaaaaaaaaand
brian: "this is probably the first and last cooking video i will make"
also brian: we made all 78 breath of the wild recipes in one day
Don't you see? The unraveled show was a figment of our imaginations! It's like that Mandela effect, thing
Plot twist: BDG Brian and Unravelled Brian are two different people who are only vaguely aware of the other's work.
Well, in his Polygon application cover letter video, he did show us his twin that wasn't supposed to exist...
"Sharing it with your friends"
"The next big party you're at"

I don’t know how serious you are, but I’m happy to make this.

I read it with the voice of Gusteau haha
I have successfully opened a pepcorn store and now I have the necessary capital to finally... FINALLY
buy Brian's bed.
Psssst...
Buy his bed.
Nothing bad has ever happened on that bed.
that's a good investment. ain't nothing bad ever happened on that bed.
Seems like a waste of good capital when there are perfectly adequate hurdy gurdies you could buy off wizards waiting in woods.
For five straight minutes I was thinking what vibe this look was giving off and I came into the comment section and saw everyone saying "lesbian aunt" and I immediately shouted "yes.... YES"
If those five minutes were spent watching a BDG video or contemplating a BDG video, I doubt they were very straight.
"This is the first and last cooking video I will ever make"
Me: *flash backs to the "lets cook every meal from Zelda" video*
He blocked it out
Oh man... That *was* a train wreck!!! He made me so mad with half of those "recipes"!😁
The trauma was too strong for him to remember that
That entire video was an emotional rollercoaster
Today I finally got around to making this pepcorn. I can now attest to the fact that it's insanely delicious. And also: I shockingly had 100% of my kernels popped without burning the popcorn, so wok-corn is a miracle in itself, even if you hate spices so much that you don't want them touching your food.
I got like 99% popped! Pretty damn good!
(No, not Ashildr, I had the name before Doctor Who) I’m laughing thank you
this is so comforting for some reason??? it's like he's your friend and he's teaching you.
“I’ve never had to review food before”
What happened to making all the recipes from Breath of the Wild?
After all Adam Moussa did for you, Brian...
I think that memory is repressed at this point
put annotations on for that part
im not sure how much of what they made in that video would be called *food* per se
there's a little annotation just when he says that which says "that's not entirely true" and has a link to the botw video
6:18 to 6:26 has big Portal 2, Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You energy, where Glados says 'Well this is the part when he kills us' and Wheatley says 'Hello, this is the part where I kill you' and you get an achievement saying 'the part where he kills you' along with the text 'this is that part'. Hi, I'm Brian David Gilbert, and in this episode of Unraveled I'll be explaining why Portal 2 is a cinematic masterpiece
I would kill for an unraveled over Portal, hello
*is shockingly spectacular
The best part is 9:46 when Karen very gently reminds Brian to call the popcorn "pepcorn" and Brian, equally gently, responds that he's going to get to it.
That's true love baby.
Very wholesome lol

BDG: We need half a teaspoon of salt
*Throws in a heaping tablespoon of salt*
I was waiting to see who would notice this
BDG joins *every television chef on earth* in doing so. You should see Indian chef shows when they say "a teaspoon" and basically throw a bowl of chili in one veggie dish!
Pretty sure that was a slightly over-full half-teaspoon measuring spoon
@@nessaoc8801 upon further inspection, you might be right!
AHHH Ok I see where our brains got so confused. He grabs that tablespoon right while closing the salt container but it's defo a tsp.
(it really was just a half a teaspoon of salt, i grabbed a tablespoon for the next shot to put in the oil, if you put in a tablespoon of fine salt you will perish, and i’m saying this as someone who loves salt)
you'd think a couple called karen and brian would be like. your traditional straight mid 50s WASP neighbours but instead we get these two wonderful creatures

If there's one positive of quarantine, it's that we're getting more original BDG videos.
i used to play this a lot while cooking during the pandemic because the house was too quiet. I still do 3 years later and it brings me joy. i am pretty sure a lot of these ingredients don't exist in my country but i can't wait to track them all down and give this a shot, for the sake of a very weird sense of nostalgia
Brian doing this all in part of his Rum Tum Tugger cosplay is such a Choice.
