"...And you'll never guess who was responsible for it's creation"
Me: Michael Eisn-
"Michael Eisner..."
Me: SON OF A MOUSE
Michael Eisner has become the Kamen Rider Decade of the Disney History Canon
When in doubt, it's Eisner's fault
My husband thought I was some sort of wizard for shouting out that answer.

"Who are you?"
"Just a retiring CEO of Disney. Remember that! Henshin!"
"The first sandwich you can hold in one hand" is such a great line, because it tells you, in one short sentence, that Michael Eisner had a fully-staffed test kitchen, a massive marketing team, and a theme park full of employees, and not a single one of them was willing to break it to him that actually, you can just cut a sandwich in half.
Rolling on the floor laughing
Eisner: you can... cut sandwhiches? Why didn't I know about this!?
He would have fired the person who told that to him on the spot for hurting his fragile ego.
But it wouldn’t be a whole sandwich.
@@digimonlover1632 Hold two halves, in one hand.
They thought they were making a culinary breakthrough. Little did they know that Burritos existed.
i dont think eisner has ever even seen a mexican man, let alone mexican cuisine.
Shawarma too😂
or Onigiri
or a sandwich. cut in half
Burritos imo are also easier eaten with two hands, but imo hot pockets filled whatever void hamwiches were trying to fill
the sandwich was literally made to be eaten with one hand, it was created as something that could be eaten while playing cards, and somehow that makes this entire thing even funnier
Eisner was consistently funny while trying his very best to be as serious as possible. Such a dork.
John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich for that very reason.
@@carlbirtles4518 The 8th Duke of Beaufort, who lived at Badminton House, invented badminton in the mid 19th century (initially as a variant of tennis which used a shuttlecock, which had been introduced to England from India a few years previously), in order to avoid damaging paintings and other valuables when playing tennis indoors.
@@nathangamble125 this is so cool, thanks for sharing
That's not true !
“And you’ll never guess who was responsible for its creation.”

“It was Michael Eisner.”
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
All roads lead to Eisner.
He is the genesis of the Odd in this world.

"It was Eisner all along..."

@@merrittanimation7721 NOOOOOOOOooooo!!! NO!
The thing about the Handwich is that it's not immediately a bad idea. If I saw one being offered, I'd definitely try it. But the Handwich is something that's all about the details. How thick is the bread? How viscous are the fillings? It's something that could definitely "work" as a sort of novelty.
I think the real issue with the handwich is that they tried so heavily to market it as a remarkable and mindblowing "sandwich of the future" which doesn't really shore up to the disappointment you get when you bite into what tastes like a normal and generic chicken/tuna salad wrap in the shape of a cone.
If they offered this without all of the disney brand TM patenting and fanfare then I'm sure they would still be selling it to this day. It seems pretty convenient and I can imagine it would taste awesome with a brioche or puff pastry cone with some barbecue chicken, lettuce and onions, or even dessert styled crepe fillings. Just don't try to make it sound like something it's not.
Okay, the cone thing is cute, but I want something crusty. Tastier and more structurally sound
It's like a big Japanese hand roll except instead of filled with rice it's filled with wet stuff that would likely leak.
@@lyndonwesthaven6623i think of they were made of puff pastry they would be delicious
@@carso1500 I'm also here for the cone croissanwich
The whole "This is the FIRST sandwich you can hold with *one hand!*" is pretty dumb, but I'm not gonna lie, this looks perfect for messier sandwiches. The kind of sandwich where you take one bite and half the fillings squeeze out the other end back onto the plate, and you gotta decide if you wanna open the sandwich back up to pile them back in there only to risk the exact same thing happening again, or if you'll just finish your sandwich that 70% bread and then eat the rest of the fillings up with a fork.
Except now, you'd get it all over your face.
I mean, you could also just use flatbread and make a wrap? Tuck the ends in and behold! No spilling.
@@sleepypanda3694 , except wraps often break open and spill anyway.
@@sleepypanda3694 but then you lose that fluffy bread taste and feel
wrap the sandwich in paper like a restaurant, problem solved
"The first sandwich you can hold in one hand."
Greeks: "No."
Mexicans: "No."
Subway: "No."
John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, inventor of the sandwich: "No."
My thoughts as well 😂
Like…isn’t the entire POINT of the sandwich that it’s a meal you can eat with one hand?
Hell, I eat lots of sandwiches one-handed! Egg-McMuffins are definitely one-handers.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick I guess. Also, it turns out that by simply calling the Handwich a sandwich, you're being absurd right away. This instantly places Disney in Sandwich Structure Tier III. This is designated "Structural Rebel". Structural Rebels are defined as people who believe that if you contain a food within another food, it's a sandwich. Disney does end up falling in Ingredient Tier I. Designation Ingredient Purist: Requires classic sandwich toppings. But this doesn't change the fact that this "sandwich" is MODELED AFTER AN ICE CREAM CONE.
@@deleetiusproductions3497 oh, don't worry. I don't consider the handwich a sandwich. I consider it a mistake.

it warms my heart to know that the order placed in this video is probably NOT the strangest order the arby’s worker took that day
And this is supposed to be an Arby's in _Limbo!_
I worked at ARby's before and its common for people to order beef and cheddars or roast beef sandwiches without the buns
i feel like that's a pretty normal order tbh. people with celiac disease often order burgers & sandwiches without the bun because most fast food places dont offer gluten-free options
I love that the store section is literally just him recording himself walking into a store, buying a loaf of bread, struggling at the self checkout like everyone else, then just walking out but the voice over made it so intense

I love that only about 40% of this video is about the Handwich and the remainder is an incredibly well-produced and drawn-out gag
This man has so much creative energy he had to make every section for the 3 handwiches different. He even mimics the performance style of the different flavors of cooking show perfectly. I actually wanted to punch him a few times during the second section, it mimics annoying modern cooking shows perfectly. I can't believe I slept on this video for so long, this guy is talented in literally everything he does for his content.
We don't deserve Kevin Perjurer, but God saw fit to bless us with him anyway 😂 He's the only creator who can get me to not only watch feature length documentaries but rewatch them too. I won't lie that I miss his more frequent lower-key videos like this one but at least the stuff he is putting out is top notch.
The A e s t h e t i c in this video was AMAZING

this is the video which made me go from watching defunctland for the content to watching it for kevin (and dreaming of him, too)
I genuinely believe if they had just kept the name "Castle Cone" it would still be around.
Handwich sounds strangely aggressive.
The name definitely sounded cheesy and unappetizing, I agree with Castle Cone being more viable!
I was going to say the same thing, “handwich” is the least magical word I could possibly think of.
I mean, Pokémon nailed it with the _Casteliacone,_ so we know for a fact that it could work...
it also implies that the shape is the novelty, instead of that it could be eaten using your hands. The fact that it was marketed as a revolutionary sandwich you could eat with your hands is so fucking ridiculous that it was bound to fail
Let me get a roast beef knuckle sandwich

“let’s try to keep it at a mezzo forte, kevin’s got a headache” is undoubtedly the funniest thing i’ve ever seen on this channel
Would just like to mention that the Cozy Cone still sells unofficial handwiches to this day ! It’s been my go to quick lunch every time I’ve gone this year haha :)
Pray Disney never notices
Cozy Cone is in cars land in Disneys California Adventure. They recycled the concept 😊
I went to Disney World in August and didn't know about this. Otherwise I would have tried it.
I feel like "Castle Cone" sounds so much better and still fits Disney's overall theme
Someone should go back in time and tell Eisner that. Aside from too-out-there ingredients, he was let down by the dumbest marketers on Disney's payroll (and considering everything ELSE, that's _really_ saying something).
I agree
The castle cone legit sounded good.
The handwich sounds like an SNL/MADTv skit...
I totally agree with that statement dude!
Hmm I don't know. Like, out of context I expect "Castle Cone" to be some kind of elaborate ice cream cone, and any time something sounds like it's ice cream but isn't ice cream, my disappointment is immeasurable.
"Implying that you can RIDE the Handwich. In reality, the Handwich rides YOU."
This slogan could have saved the whole damn Handwich
“You’ve ridden Space Mountain. Now experience the only thing in Disney that rides you.”
@@SomeOne-ym4xg I appreciate how it's both vaguely sexy, and vaguely threatening.
They could have even gotten Yakov Smirnoff to promote it!
I love how he starts with what we SHOULD do, and ends with what we're probably GOING TO do, because there's no way we're going to do this experiment using our whole asses.
This is super interesting cause there is actually a place here in Idaho called “Coned” and they too make pizza cones. It’s pizza dough shaped into a cone, loaded with layers of sauce, cheese and other toppings till it’s full, topped with more cheese and baked. It’s actually super delicious and quite popular! It is insanely filling too!
Sounds delicious!
'crepes' in thailand that are like a rather dry crepe as a cone filled with stuff are fairly popular. as in basically every street market will have a vendor.
stuff can be anything. like from ham to fake crabsticks to strawberry jam to cheese.
i'd rather have euro style crepes tbh. and there's just something weird using some pea-corn-paprika mix on a concoction like that.
This madman actually goes through the process of studying and recreating Disney's single-hand sandwich, then immediately uses two hands to bite into it
Just because you CAN eat it with one hand doesn't mean it's the best option

Pure instinct is all that is

Im actually unironically interested in the handwich. Eating on the go sounds great. It also reminds me of the crepe. Though I prefer the shrimp and not the salad or macaroni.
Yeah, if done properly, I could easily see myself buying and enjoying this at a park.
I have a great idea for you, if you like "eating on the go". You take two pieces of bread and put something in the middle. It's called a sandwich and you can hold it in one hand.
You can get crepes with savory ingredients served just like this in Tokyo. It's pretty good.
Flat bread. Put all your sandwich ingredients onto it. Tuck in the ends and roll it up. You now have yourself a one handed, on the go, wrap.
There’s something called a pizza cone which is essentially a handwich and it’s actually really good 😭

"The paper will not catch fire. There's actually a great book about this which states the auto ignition point of paper right in its title. It is called one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four." So many fucking layers to this joke it might as well be an onion.
But the auto ignition point is actually 451 F? I don't get it
@@pablossjui the joke is the book with the ignition-point title is Fahrenheit 451 but he references the book 1984 (reading it as a number instead of a year) instead
@@amoureux6502 And that they're both works of dystopian fiction that people constantly mistake for the other. A bit like how some people seem to think lines from Paradise Lost are actually from the Bible.

Someone help me out here. Is there something deeper than the swap of 1984 and Fahrenheit 451?
As someone studying English Lit at A Level, it still took me a couple of seconds to properly wrap my head around it, but when I did it was brilliant
@@TroyPacelli nope, that's the joke, hahaha.
Honestly, this concept would go over so well at a fair of some kind these days. Like a barbecue sundae, except you can eat the cup. It reduces waste AND increases the food you get per meal.
Why haven't I seen these at the state fair before??
I've seen breadcones at fairs. Shredded chicken or pork cones or meatball cones. They've been around for awhile.
Well now I feel kind of cheated.

What mortal man has the strength to lift a whole BLT with one hand I ask you.
WHAT MORTAL MAN?!
Ironic because the legend of the invention of the sandwich was like that to begin with.
Supposedly John Montague, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, had a gambling habit and he wanted something he could eat with one hand to keep his cards in the other hand. So he ordered his cooks to make something along those lines and then later his friends started ordering "the same thing as Sandwich"
@@ashkitt7719 it’s because some kids found a witch serving magic food at the beach stop spreading misinformation

Being told that Michael Eisener was at the New York World's Fair and was alive and at the same place as Walt Disney has *SHATTERED* my sense of time
Me too. I suppose because Eisner's time as CEO seems recent, but he left 15 years ago and was there for a long time. He started as CEO of Disney only 16 years after that world's fair and would have been in his early 40s as an executive. That means he was not just alive during the fair but in his mid 20s.
@@sswpp8908 wait what!? I assumed he was in his 30s when he was CEO & had to be a kid then (around 10)! This is absolutely mind blowing to me

Kinda unrelated , but there’s this clip floating around UA-cam of this 1950’s game show where they brought on the last surviving witness to Lincoln’s assassination. He was 96 at the time of his appearance, and he was 5 on the day Lincoln died. That one really broke me
@@Kaltagstar96 He'll be 80 next year according to Wikipedia.
In Hollywood Studios at Fairfax Fare they now sell “mashed potato waffle bowls” with buff chix, korean bbq, or beef brisket. During the training the language used around the condensed, fully edible food being “cutting edge” was very similar. They’re definitely recycling the idea.
If you listen to this with CC, the screen fills with SANDWICH text in that last scene. It's almost more terrifying than the scene
I went back and rewatched that part with CC on, thank you. You’re absolutely right, it was horrifying and I loved it.
I love how Eisner can't catch a break even when it's just a fucking sandwich.
or the other way - that eisner couldn't succeed - even with sandwiches!
Is it Disney? Is it the 80s? Does it sound like an idea somebody came up with at the tail end of a 3 day coke bender?
...Then it's probably an Eisner.
This made me laugh so much man. I love that you exist.
My daughter went to DCA recently on a school trip. While making her plans, she discovered one of DCA's snack locations (Cozy Cone Motel 3) is currently serving three varieties of Handwich. She took a group of her friends and tried the lot. Says it was the highlight of her whole trip.
When I went to Budapest this summer bread cones filled with stuff like sausages, cheese, sauerkraut, etc. seemed to be pretty popular as street food. So clearly at least some people are into the idea.
Kolbice! It's a play on words with "kolbász" (sausage) and "ice cream". I tried it once and I think it's kind of a gimmick - a bit messy, tastes ok but not good enough to make you want to come back for more.
Honestly, the 'Handwich' would have been a tasty, fun treat for Disney had they not marketed it as a "revolutionary, sandwich of the future" that promised to be more than it actually was. That being: just a weirdly-shaped sandwich.
Castle Cone was a better name, imo.
Yeah, I think I agree. While it's hardly a revolutionary idea, it's not exactly a terrible idea. It's "a sort of weirdly-shaped sandwich", so it's kind of odd that it was an outright failure. I could see a food cart selling them and being somewhat successful.
If you're eating from the top, I could see these being actually kind of nice. With just one hand, it seems like a nice way to keep all the filling *in* the sandwich
The problem for me is that the cone-shape makes the filling unevenly distributed: you'll start with only eating salad and end with only eating bread.
But you can probably alleviate that problem with different cone-shapes or different layers of filling.
I agree that it could be a minor hit as a fun novelty food, without all that "future of food" nonsense
i want the pulled chicken one
No one's talking about that 1984 joke, but that was solid. Props, Kevin
It WAS solid and I busted a gut. But, those who understand, understand. No need to educate the rubes. :P
Straight up laughed out loud.

Why aren’t you working at Disney? Theses are GENIUS!
In defense of the Handwich name, I like its “one letter off from Sandwich” thing, and compared to “Castle Cones”, it seems more overt with its whole sandwich deal, while with the latter, some might’ve instinctively (and incorrectly) picture it as an *ice cream* cone

As all things should be.

I’m not mad about it.
The surreal aspect of this episode is definitely unprecedented for this show, but definitely not unexpected. Kevin has always used some form of humor, especially deadpan, to some degree since the beginning. He’s truly cranked it up to 11 though in the more recent episodes.
Now I understand why we always called him "Two Handwich Kevin"

Lmao I worked at an insanely busy steakhouse that claimed to make their own BBQ sauce. It was literally just heating up Open pit and mixing it with liquid smoke 😂
Hot sauce at a pizza place I worked at was just Frank's red hot with pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic, and an herb that might have been oregano but I don't remember clearly. Really improved it though.
That reminds me of a story, in second grade me and a few kids somehow got interested in making peanut butter. We all went home made the best peanut butter we could, bring it to school to determine a winner. This guy wins and I’m talking to him asking how he made it. And he’s like “oh yeah it’s mostly jif” like goddamnit man that doesn’t count lol
Hey man, Joe's BBQ is no joke!
Calling it "the first sandwich you can hold in one hand" could not be more wrong because I think the sandwich as we know it now was invented when John Montagu (the 4th Earl of Sandwich) wanted to easily enjoy meat and bread while he was playing cards. The sandwich was invented so he could eat with one hand and hold his cards in the other. So, it's very likely that the first sandwich you can hold in one hand was... literally the first sandwich ever.
Except Sandwiches go back to ancient Rome (mainly meat in pita bread)? The Earl just invented the modern version.
@@NodDisciple1 yeah the sandwich has been here since forever, sandwich’s are my favorite because they are so diverse. Tortas are my favorite.
No, it was to keep the grease off of his hands that would have stained his cards.
Well didn't know that little fun fact - so thank you! But I was thinking the same thing! Isn't like every sub sandwich a handwhich if you have decent one handed motor skills!? 😂😂😂
i think the funniest thing about it is that even if you go on the bend of "well those sandwiches aren't all that revolutionary", the first major "fast food" restaurants were truck stops that made their sandwiches to cater to truckers who needed to be eating while driving to make good time. So they made burgers with durable wrappers to keep the sandwiches together and, more crucially, the fries included within the burger and a disposable cup for the drink. From there, we have an ENTIRE MEAL that can be eaten one-handed, not just the sandwich.
If you wanna go a different route, White Castle made sandwiches that were very bite-sized and could be easily mass-produced by one person due to the simplicity of the sliders' topping choices.
i love that this video could’ve just been about how they created an okay product but the marketing didn’t really you can hold and eat almost any other kind of sandwich in one hand, but instead it was funny and chaotic and “she’s a bit of an arsonist” absolutely killed me
I can't believe you got a whole audience for this one. You go above and beyond, man
"I'm making two handwhiches. One for me... And one for you." is truely one of the most tender things I've heard. On par with "I want us to eat well."

Not gonna lie, I teared up a little when he said that
I love the idea that Michael Eisner just never heard of a crepe
When I visited New Orleans, there was a resturaunt that served savory crepes with meat, cheese, and vegetables, just like a Handwich.
@@InventorZahran do they not have these where you live? 😥
I mean there are savory crepes, I haven't eaten a authentic crepe but I'd recon the texture would be different because the bread part of handwiches are actual bread, in that case burritos and anything wrapped in tortilla really is a handwich then
@@InventorZahran they have a stand that sells savory crepes like that at Universal Studios
Or tacos or any kind of street food that involves bread.
Dude, this video is a masterpiece. You did such a good job emulating a mid-aughts cooking-show-within-another-show-that-has-a-live-audience. Even the announcer voice sounded spot on, with that high energy, excited tone of voice popularized by MTV back then. And the handwhich at the end that's basically a sub sandwich with arby's meat 🤣
I laughed, I cried, and at the end I called my mother to tell her I love her. Chef's kiss, my friend!
I love how chaotic that "Defunct Kitchen" segment was. Like, you're daughter is an arsonist, and to try to get her principal to not expel her, you're gonna make a handwich? Fantastic. Perfect solution. 😃
The handwich actually sounds really convenient for things like pulled pork or chicken. Things that are typically really drippy or might slide out. I can't eat gluten though, so a bowl it is for me.
There's really good gluten free mixes that allow you to bake pretty much anything! If they're available (and not too pricy) in the US, look for Schar's Bread Mix Flour (I think it's mix B - mix A being all-purpose and mix C being for cakes/sweet stuff that don't need to rise). I've had to eat gluten free since I was a kid and they've really improved *so much* these last 20 or so years! :D and the website has basic recipes for pretty much anything. I can confirm white bread takes like 2 hours to make and ends up d e l i c i o u s for GF standards. Good luck! ^^
Yes!!
Yeah but they discontinued it, so I guess you could say....... its a wrap
i feel like pita would still work better
Yeah, that's a definitely strong use case
my life has forever changed with this revelation
dang RT you also watch this channel that's cool
Damn bestie ya watch defunctland?? Pog
Hi rt
YES I AGREE
It's always lovely to see when you tubers i like watch other youtubers I like
It actually looks good to me. Almost like an ice cream cone with savory fillings. I’d try it.
The latter half of this video was both hilarious and chaotically insane. I loved every moment, and I bet thar poor Arby's worker was so confused.
“Please stop clapping it freaks me out when I’m using a knife”
“God I’m tired” - nearly inaudible 😂
“Implying that you could ride the handwich” was the line that absolutely sent me
You can ride anything if you try hard enough. 😼
I would have gone with, "if you bought one, you got taken for a ride."
That dystopian novel joke was quick and much appreciated 😂
I was not prepared for the level of existential nightmare this turned into 😂
"Oh, and some mozzarella sticks."
"You want four or six?"
" *SIX* "
Those are rookie numbers
@@A_Toaster yea. A true pro eats like 24 in 1 sitting so ye rookie numbers
one always needs a snack when “cooking” (i.e. assembling a handwich in a fevered state at midnight)
Saying five at this very moment would have been a power move.
The deep Defunctlore with that one
i love how Kevin's topics vary from the incredibly complicated dynamics of queuing behaviour and systems applied to alter it, to Fucked Up Samwidge

16:23 having seen DankPods' review of the Roy Joys makes the sentence "and the bass is great on these!" extremely funny to me
My word, I’ve been more attracted to this man and his endeavors than in this moment.
“The first sandwich you can eat with one hand” was an especially funny line considering I’m literally eating a sandwich with one hand right now
Well with a normal sandwich the ability to hold it one handed depends on many variables like the size of the hand and the portion, the ingredients and their amount, how it's cut and whatnot. But handwich kind of ensures that _everyone_ can hold it in one hand no matter what.
Yeh, that line's dumb. Still, the Handwich seems like a cool idea.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I mean the whole point of a sandwich is that you can (mostly) hold it in one hand.
I'm eating a folded tortilla with one hand.
@Argus Big time, all due to a man's love for poker.
...as I had to pause at the intentional swapping of 451 and 1984. Well played, sir. Well played.
That was beautiful.
I love that Kevin _deliberately_ eats each Handwich with two hands just to thumb his nose at the tagline. XD
Imagine if this had been the last video on the channel and Kevin just left us with the implication that he'd been lost somewhere in the time space continuum.
“Wherever it was, it was billed as Disney’s newest attraction, implying you can ride the Handwich. When in reality, the Handwich rides you.”
You can’t drop lines like this and stay serious lmfao
Handwich is a top, confirmed.
@ 6:38 - the subtitles should be (blah blah blah blah blah blah blah)
PLEASE shorten your videos, this would be good; condensed to 5 minutes. Stick to the facts! I want to watch a documentary, not listen to rambling. Unsubscribed
"Your daughter is real sweet but she's a bit of an arsonist." That went from 0 to 100 real fast.
Was anyone else reminded of Philosophy Tube when he said that?
It's like Disney completely failed to take into account that "meat and vegetables wrapped in bread which can be eaten with one hand" is a concept that has existed across cultures around the world for at least a century by then
Sounds like Disney to me.
the Farenheit 451 joke was so smart it made me feel like i passed a test in AP Lit back in highschool again
"There was a book about this with the temperature right in the title: one thousand nine hundred and eighty four" was worth a like.
I had to pause the video and immediately tell my roommate about that joke. my reaction was visceral.
.....
Holy fuck that went right over my head the first time
I had to pause the video and go check that it was 451. Kevin is THAT convincing.
Michael Eisner: what if we like,, invented a hot pocket but like broken
Imagineers: what’s a hot pocket?
Michael Eisner: *unhinged stare*
Imagineers: say no more sir
That joke about the temperature that paper burns at probably went over everyone’s head 😂 love that
so good to see Kevin mix two of his likings, and refreshing to see such creativity online
Wait can't sandwiches already be eaten with one hand? I'm so confused why they thought this needed to be made
I feel like this is something you could just do with a savory crepe.
In the word of Yogurt "MERCHANDISING!!!"
Isn't that the legend behind their creation? Some dude wanted to eat while gambling so he commissioned food he could eat with one hand.
If your sandwich has like 2 dry fillings, then yes you can, anything above that number or slightly wet is a disaster waiting to happen.
@@merrittanimation7721 No? Sandwiches were popularized by the Earl of Sandwich, who liked to put his meat in between bread.
I came in expecting a “Binging With Babish” kind of style show with Kevin’s expected spin on it; and yet I’m still blown away at the creativity.
It's like if Binging With Babish met WandaVision
You were expecting Bimbish and I was hoping for a Handwich "Will it Blow?"
Seriously, tho, I could watch hands on a screen make food all day long.
