The Chris Gethard Show: 15 Greatest Moments

12. Belly Burrito

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP14qSyCZRA

This episode is one of the most gleefully gross of the show. Running on the basic idea that involves Chris Gethard getting his stomach wrapped in saran wrap and everyone constructing a massive burrito on it. It's in the title - "Belly Burrito." You know what you're getting into with this one.

The topic delivers. It grows in its nastiness with every minute and ends with the mess you would expect. On top of all of this is a cast of callers that are all either slightly unhinged or slightly depressed. Their honest interactions with a host who has a cacophony of condiments spread across his stomach are absurd. Seeing a television host talk about the realities of depression with a caller on his show while a burrito is all over his belly is essentially a metaphor for the show itself. 

If you ever want to see someone say things like "some of us are just sad people who start sad and stay sad" while a Mexican dish is splayed across his stomach, this is certainly the episode for you. 

"Yeah. Yeah, we got salsa."
