Chef’s Note: I really think Arthur needs to get himself a professional agent and stop winging it with media appearances. This is a good example.
We see quite clearly at the beginning of this scene that Arthur has a most dapper octopus chef who seems more than capable of serving up any number of dishes (I see a small roast chicken perhaps? Maybe some layered cake? A cup of coffee/tea? There’s also salt’n’pepper and bottle of ketchup! And Arthur using a bib. And the octopus chef cleaning the mushroom(?) table off with a rag. All of this in the sea, under water…).
But when it comes time to shine, what does Arthur choose to spotlight?
A plate of electri-fried “sea-weed food”!
Don’t get me wrong: seaweed is both edible and delicious. But what kind of vagueness is this? I’m assuming wakame?
But who knows? It could be a generous serving of Bara Lawr for all we know. Or Miyeok-guk!
I’m positive the octopus chef would know what is being served and also- Octopus Chef!
Arthur: this is what you lead with…
Also, stop force-feeding your poor blowfish soap flakes so you can take showers… while being underwater. Dude.
