We just recently watched the movie Inception. What is that, nine months late? Don’t judge. Hey, we have little kids…and a lot of laundry.
So, um…wowza. Loved it. Loved it so much, Paul immediately turned to me and said, “You know we have to do a video parody of this, right?” To which I replied, “But, of course.”
Click on the video to see the world premiere of our movie trailer, Reduction.
Obviously we cannot fly through space or call the city to demolish a building, all in the name of a Very Culinary video, but watch below and see how close we recreated the trailer shot for shot.
Pretty cool, eh?
If all of this is completely lost on you, here’s the link to the original Inception movie trailer. Rent it! You’ll be talking about it for days afterward.
And what about Paul’s shirt?! How much do you need one of those? We got it from Snorg Tees. Click here to get one of your own.

Oh my goodness! This is so awesome, and so is your blog! How did you get the tears to roll so beautifully? Love it- Miss Slice
I’m late. Haven’t seen the movie (and thanks for the link to the trailer). Just now sat down to see your remake. Been sitting in my inbox… what was I thinking. You are genius! Next time you put out a video, I will fandengo it, if that’s possible. So funny!!!
Better late than never! Thanks, Lora!
I echo Anne. Brilliant! I LOVE your videos!
Thanks, Rach! <3 U
BRILL. IANT. BRILL. IANT. BRILL. IANT.
Seriously, that’s just brilliant.
Wish there was a “like” button here…I would click it with reckless abandon. Thanks so much Anne :D
great. cleaver. smart. funny. so glad Tosh.0 told us about you. brava.
Thanks Mary! Appreciate your words so much, and your time for stopping over to type them.
THIS IS SO FREAKIN’ AWESOME! I found it linked off of the dailywh.at …. what a treat! :>) We’re Inception fans, too… my husband and kids made this a while ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlabWmMXRnQ
Yours was great fun too, Lori! Love the toy guns and spinning top…and the dog cameo. If my kids were older, they would have surely found their way in. Maybe for the sequel! Ha.
I laughed, I cried, milk came out of my nose and good times were had by all. Great job you guys and congrats on being picked up by Tosh.0 Im looking fwd to hearing his snarky comments abt it :-)
Greetings Dino – I think my head would burst if Daniel Tosh ever actually mentioned this video on his show. In the meantime, I’ll just enjoy my brief moment on his blog. Can’t ask for more then that, right? Thanks so much for stopping by and the wonderful compliment! If I can make milk come out someone’s nose, then I’ve done my job :D
I included one of your recipes in my Ash Wednesday blogroll today. Thanks for the inspiration:)
Hi Angela – thanks so much for the nod…the Nutella/Goat Cheese sandwich is so weird and so yummy, you just have to make it.
LOVED this video. I saw it on Tastefully Offensive. Thanks for the laugh. You and your husband did a great job on the video!
Thank you, April. Much appreciated!
P.S. That’s a lotta wine corks, young lady.
Lol. Um…that’s all Paul. Um…ya. That’s it. Paul.
You SERIOUSLY need a food/sitcom/variety show on Food Network. And I loved Paul’s t-shirt.
Absolutely spot on!
This is absolutely amazing!! The entire thing is just so phenomenally well done, but when you said “I think I found my way onto the Food Network,” I starting laughing so hard I think I injured myself. ;) Great work!
Best compliment. Ever. Your comment made me laugh out loud, so there! Much thanks for sharing it out :D
Hey, I clicked through from neatorama. your video is amazing! Seriously, great work. Thanks :)
Oh yeah, ALSO haven’t seen Inception (it’s in my Netflix cue!!)
This is one of the most magnificent things I have EVER seen and I don’t think there could have been a better “Early Bird Special” on the Daily What to wake up to! Kudos!
Greetings Katherine! I know we’re late to the game, but we just saw the movie and thought it would be fun to do. And it was! Thank you so much for your kind words and stopping by to tell me. Being featured on The Daily What and your comment have made my morning :D
“You should be reducing!!!” OMG I laughed so hard. You guys are amazing. I haven’t seen the movie yet either, but I totally get the video. One question? Who is doing your camera work when you and Paul are in the frames?? One of the kids? LOL
It’s the effect of a two camera shot, but believe it or not, we actually lock down one camera and take turns with our roles. And then the magic of editing comes into play. It’s the trickiest (and most work) of the videos.
Out of all the videos I’ve posted, you are the first to ask that question. I have been waiting! So you win door #3! Lol.
How do you guys come up with these? They are amazing, you always make me laugh so hard with your videos. I’m going to show my husband this, he’s a movie buff so I’m sure he’s gonna love this!
Thanks Sylvie! They’re a lot of work to do, but great fun. And responses like yours make it all worth while. Truly.
I wish you guys had a little fun from time to time! ;)
I know. There’s not a lot of laughter in our house. Ho hum ;-)
Oh my gosh, u guys are out of the world!! Its 10 pm, I’m sitting next to my sleeping li’l one n I’m laughing hysterically!!
LOVE it!! LOL
Want more!!
YAY! I love that I could give you a belly laugh :D We have to wait for an Inception sequel ;-) OR you need to give us some other movie suggestions to parody.
You two are something else, you know that? My favorite part was definitely Paul: “Like a sous chef?” Great job guys…you never cease to amaze me!
P.S. I STILL haven’t seen Inception. I need to remedy that!
Catch phrase over on Twitter is “You should be reducing! What’s wrong with you?!!” Really fun… Definitely rent the movie!
That is seriously cool! I’m so forwarding this onto some friends!
Very imaginative, indeed, and what a production to get the scenes synchronized.
I’m very impressed, once again.
You guys rock! That was so funny….Mike and I just watched Inception last Saturday night so it’s all very fresh in our minds. You captured the essence perfectly! Well done.
Thanks, Heather! It took a while to make, but we had good fun. Refreshing to find that we’re not the only ones on the planet who just watched it. Lol.
Unbelievable!!! Excellent work! I can’t wait for the sequel to come out.
We’ll have to wait for the Inception sequel, I suppose. To, you know, stay authentic :D
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Wow, Paul; FANTASTIC job. Both of you! Bravo! Bravo! I’m sending this link to everyone I know.
I’m truly impressed, and I didn’t understand any of it. It’s like looking at a Salvador Dali.
That was awesome. You guys are great.
This. Is. Amazing.
I am in such awe. that I will even clean my room. Just for you.
Wow. Now that’s quite an endorsement ;-)
I still haven’t seen Inception!
You need to rectify that. Stat.
LOVED it. So creative. So fun to watch. So well done. Loved loved loved.
hahaha that was awesome! and i looooved inception too. i think i need to watch it again now.
On the first video, I started laughing when Paul said “like a sous chef?” and never stopped.
But then I watched the second video and I was speechless. You guys are the greatest thing ever. Love this soooooo so so much. Wow.
(also, I love Inception so much that I still choked up when I saw that shot of Dom and Mal on the bridge… so tragic what happened to them…)
Paul’s such a perfectionist and was really striving to get it as close as possible, so this comment meant a lot to him. Thank, M.
Bravo!! Standing ovation!!! Seriously, that was AWESOME. I’m so impressed! I thoroughly enjoyed watching and I’m crazy impressed. SO FUN!!!
