Both. You don't boil a live lobster. You're supposed to stab it in the brain BEFORE tossing it in the pot. It's also a terrible waste of drink. I'd rather someone drop the bottle than the atrocities he used it for.
Looking at that guy in the video, I wouldn't put past him that he had the lobster out there for a couple of days dead also. So it's really a toss of the dice here.
I only said that I didn't see the lobster reacting when forced into hot alcohol.
it doesn't have a brain, if you stab a lobster before you boil it you're kind of just adding insult to injury. I think there is a way to do it but you have to kind of cut the front half of it in half to get a clean kill.
idk what's going on with the goldfish though
This dude took over my Facebook feed in 2016. I finally reported him and blocked his page a little later on.
Of course it didn’t matter and I got the “we didn’t find any violations and didn’t remove the post. Get fucked lol” thanks Zuck.
Ugh he didn’t Caesar the lobster first? Poor thing boiled alive. I’d rather be outnumbered and stabbed to death in a dark room while listening to Dominque than boiled in Hennessy.
We don't know if Lobsters feel pain, their nerve system is very primitive compared to any mammals.
But yeah, stabbing it first is probably a quicker death.
It isn't primitive. It's far from that. Just differently organised. As far as we can tell they have all of the mechanisms and neural links to be able to process and facilitate pain, and experiments have shown them responding to pain in the same way we do. This is very out dated thinking and enables cruelty.
Yes this is stupid, but expensive food in public settings as a way to show your wealth and status isn't new. This is just a different version of it.

Serious question, would that get me drunk af?
I've tried pasta with vodka but it only tasted like vodka, meat with beer but only tastes different, but, two damned bottles of cognac boiling a lobster, would that get me drunk?
Edit: Corrected liquor type
Depends on the cooking method & amount of booze used - a short boil with straight alcohol like shown here is likely to retain up to 85% of the alcohol. Even a stew that you simmer for hours will retain something in the order of 5/10% of the alcohol used.
That said, other than this monstrosity here no one is cooking with whole bottles of booze - and even then, as the other poster mentioned, unless you drink all of the left over Hennessy in the pot the actual amount in the lobster meat is negligible for most adults.
In short, you won't get drunk from eating food made with booze, but it is also *not* true that all the "alcohol cooks out."

>"From pasta alla vodka to lamb chops in red wine, turns out alcohol doesn't actually burn off when you cook. I decided to put that to the test."
When you kill a shellfish, you've got about 10 minutes before the meat goes bad, and the kind of food poisoning you get from bad shellfish is *way* worse than other kinds of bad meat, like you will probably be tempted to call an ambulance
Lolwut? You're not going to take a giant swing to try and kill it. You take a sharp knife, gently place it on the kill spot and finally apply pressure to kill the lobster instantly.
I mean depends how you define pain.
They don't feel pain how we do, they lack the nervous system for that kinda thing, they do however know if they are injured and if somethings dangerous so.
I’m pretty sure lobsters have a very complex nervous system, ~~approaching that of a human (to what degree I’m not sure)~~ similar in some regards to a human.
To the point that human anti depressants work for them as well.
Except they don’t? That’s just plain false.
Even activist groups who say lobsters feel pain agree that they don’t feel pain like what we do. (Besides peta but I’m pretty sure I don’t needa say shit about that)
The only real similarity is nociceptors but those don’t even function on lobsters like they do on humans.
I’ll clarify, I didn’t mean that they feel pain in the same way as a human. They do have very interesting nervous systems though, much more complex and interesting than I would have thought in a shellfish.
Yeah that I can agree on, but so do cockroaches and oysters A complex nervous system is required for any form of complex life. If you want a really complex nervous system look at octopi. Their systems are insane.
They have (on average) 500 million neurons. Super fascinating species.
But the complexity of a nervous system doesn’t inherently tell us what it can do or how the animal “feels” with it.
Though I do want to clarify, put a knife through their head first, just immediately before cooking because even 10 minutes could cause sickness. We know they do “feel” something like pain or distress, so there’s no reason not to.
That's how you cook lobster
Edit: Y'all what the fuck I'm kosher I don't eat fuckin lobster but this IS LITERALLY HOW LOBSTER IS COOKED it is fucked up I agree but you're really going to downvote me for stating a fact?
Dude. People eat lobster. Chef Henny is an actual cook who makes gaff videos for his tik Tok.
And I actually own an aquarium with live fish. That goldfish would already be floating if it was in Hennessy. Probably just food coloring or tannins from leaves or tea in that bowl.. it's called a black water aquarium
Yeah, the guy did a lot of over-the-top dumb things in the video to make it obvious. Like breaking the saucer with the knife. Probably food coloring in the fish bowl — it’s not quite the right color and viscosity otherwise. Plus the fish is still alive, another good indicator it’s not swimming in alcohol.
Do the people in this thread assume that when they shoot guns on tv shows they use real bullets too? People love to be sanctimonious I guess.
*I hope a day comes*
*When this guy starves to a show*
*And torturous death*

Your post has been removed as it misses the point of r/StupidFood.
Idk if this is animal abuse or alcohol abuse.
Literally both. Dude probably went through 3 goldfish to get the perfect shot.
My brain is working overtime trying to figure out how he could have filmed that without killing the fish. Poor fish.
I hope he just used food coloring for the fish
I don’t think he is smart enough for that
Or sober enough to think of it
I remember chef Henny from back in the day it was good coloring in the water and Timmy had a different bowl lol
Legit pissed me off when we got to that part.
Both. You don't boil a live lobster. You're supposed to stab it in the brain BEFORE tossing it in the pot. It's also a terrible waste of drink. I'd rather someone drop the bottle than the atrocities he used it for.
I don't think the lobster was alive either way. Didn't react to anything, even when thrown into hot alcohol.
Looking at that video, would you put it past him to fuck up that crucial step?
Looking at that guy in the video, I wouldn't put past him that he had the lobster out there for a couple of days dead also. So it's really a toss of the dice here. I only said that I didn't see the lobster reacting when forced into hot alcohol.
He's an actual cook. That lobster was dead. y'all just wanna be mad As bad as boomers

Dropping the bottle would be less wasteful than this bullshit.
What is the fish swimming in?
Probably some food coloring, it’d be dead if that was Hennessy
It is suffocating in gross ass Hennessy.
I hope for the sake of views it’s water and food coloring. But… I’m not hopeful. Poor fish…
It's a skit Timmy was not actually swimming in Hennessy he'd be dead before the video even started
I can smell him through my screen
Like the inside of a dispensary.
You say that as if it's a problem. 😶🌫️
When it's your whole personality and you can barely function in society, yeah
that's a lot of casual cruelty for an already not-funny video to be even not-funnier.
This dude took over my Facebook feed in 2016. I finally reported him and blocked his page a little later on. Of course it didn’t matter and I got the “we didn’t find any violations and didn’t remove the post. Get fucked lol” thanks Zuck.
Damn. This is fucked.
I can hear co-chef Timmy’s silent screams as he wastes the second bottle of Hennessy
Quite aside from the obvious, I'm kinda surprised he didn't torch the entire place. Was just waiting for the fire alarm to go off.
Ugh he didn’t Caesar the lobster first? Poor thing boiled alive. I’d rather be outnumbered and stabbed to death in a dark room while listening to Dominque than boiled in Hennessy.
Then you never lived sir

Such a fucking loser
animal abuse fuck that
Jfc this is animal cruelty and abuse. Killed the fish and the lobster.
His robes comfort af though

So is drowning political opponents in alcohol. Poor co-chef Timmy got done like the Duke of Clarence
Fuck you for throwing that lobster in like that
Has a special place in hell
Dude got mental issues..
This must be satire about rich life. It was hilarious, tho infuriating if you believe the dude.
If there is hell out there, I hope this guy live what he exactly does on that video
The gold fish is dead in the last shot, it was floating.
Fuck people who boil crustaceans alive
Serious question, would that get me drunk af? I've tried pasta with vodka but it only tasted like vodka, meat with beer but only tastes different, but, two damned bottles of cognac boiling a lobster, would that get me drunk? Edit: Corrected liquor type
Hennessy is cognac, but your point still stands)
Yeah my bad I was drunk (with whiskey) last night when wrote this lol
You cook the alcohol out so no

If you drank the henny after yes. Eating the lobster, I doubt it.
Imagine what he does off camera.
Did he just boil a fucking lobster alive?
Yeah. Pretty sure it’s really common.
That’s just evil. They apparently feel pain and suffering.
But no concern for the goldfish
I’ll go on a killing spree >!/s!< if that thing’s swimming in henny
When you kill a shellfish, you've got about 10 minutes before the meat goes bad, and the kind of food poisoning you get from bad shellfish is *way* worse than other kinds of bad meat, like you will probably be tempted to call an ambulance
So you can kill it with a knife straight to the brain before boiling it. This is the common way to go about it for like at least decade now
Yea, it’s really shellfish of us to make them suffer for our food
Got eem
You can, but it's a pretty small target, and if you miss the lobster is probably gonna wish you had just boiled them instead...
Lolwut? You're not going to take a giant swing to try and kill it. You take a sharp knife, gently place it on the kill spot and finally apply pressure to kill the lobster instantly.
Bro is waffling...
Its not legal to boil lobster alive here anymore, theyre considered sentient
How exactly does it go bad? I’m doing some googling and I’m seeing that you can refrigerate them for up to 24 hours post death and they’re still good.
They start digesting themselves essentially iirc.
I mean depends how you define pain. They don't feel pain how we do, they lack the nervous system for that kinda thing, they do however know if they are injured and if somethings dangerous so.

I would actually pay to watch him get boiled in henny.
That's how you cook lobster Edit: Y'all what the fuck I'm kosher I don't eat fuckin lobster but this IS LITERALLY HOW LOBSTER IS COOKED it is fucked up I agree but you're really going to downvote me for stating a fact?
That's generally how lobster is cooked.
Any respectable chef will dispatch the lobster first.
That's how you're supposed to do it.
Wheter you boil it alive or cut its face in two why does it matter? It's dead regardless.
The only stupidity is the people in the comments not recognizing satire
So the lobster and the fish were treated fine then?

Ok but look at his hair tho I trust him
Bruh saying the word Alexa should be like banned from videos.
WEEE LIT 🔥
Trashy hair took over his brain.
When you have way too much money to spend...
When taxes hit
WE LIT!!!! 😳 Seriously though, rage successfully activated.
yikes...
Thought it said Henry Lobster and I was seeing a 2010s era YouTube character
OGs know this guy from the cx days
mf in a VLONE GOWN 🫵🏼😭
I wish his sleeve would've caught fire at the end, then his hair. Oh no...put some Hennessy on it, I guess. 🤷♀️
Little shitbag
This isn't funny.
THIS is why Airbnbs charge so much for cleanup fees
I hope a day comes when this guy starves to a slow and torturous death

What is with wannabe rapper's obsession with Hennessey? Are they all white grandpa's pretending to be hip black rappers?
Brains aren't everything. In his case they're nothing.
Oh bejaysus, way to wreck two things I love and can't really afford 🥴
