The Snack Sack Disaster: Chocolate Chicken

This week on The Variety Show from Studio:Channel84, things start weird and somehow get even stranger.

The episode opens with an unexpected Peppa Pig monologue that turns into a full-blown character assassination of Daddy Pig, Peppa, and the entire family dynamic. It’s not the Peppa Pig take you were expecting.

From there the chaos continues with The Chipmunk Challenge, introducing a brand new game called Mouth Trap. The rules sound simple: explain a word without using the obvious clues. In reality it quickly turns into a frantic guessing game involving Minecraft, Mario, Alien, spaghetti, and classic playground games. Tom and Rob attempt to beat the Chipmunk at her own game — with varying levels of competence.

Then comes the Snack Sack, and this might be one of the strangest taste tests we’ve ever done.

First up are two imported drinks: a jasmine peach soda that tastes suspiciously medicinal, followed by a Chinese lime soda that somehow becomes one of the best drinks ever tried on the show, earning an instant perfect score.

But the real disaster arrives with a snack called Crispy Cluck — a chocolate treat designed to look like fried chicken. It sounds ridiculous. It looks ridiculous. And once opened… it somehow manages to be even worse than expected.

As if that wasn’t enough, the conversation veers into 90s music nostalgia, with Jive Bunny’s rock-and-roll mega mix battling Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” for survival. Along the way, a revelation about The Beautiful South’s “Don’t Marry Her” proves the radio version most people grew up hearing isn’t actually the real lyric.

Also featuring: cap gun nostalgia, Apple Watch sleep scores that make no sense, spam emails that refuse to stop arriving, and the ongoing mystery of why our podcast seems to be blocked in Russia.

It’s rude, chaotic, nostalgic and completely unfiltered — exactly how The Variety Show likes it.
