The passing of the Bush administration has dated a lot of David Cross’ stuff. But if he has anything that approaches timelessness, it’s the “tasteless, odorless gold… to eat!” bit from 2004’s It’s Not Funny. Besides this being a bit I always think about when I’m at a fancy restaurant or a yacht-club lunch or any place that’s too classy to wear sneakers to and thus makes me feel all self-conscious, like I’ve snuck in (“Look honey, the Make-A-Wish Foundation is flying a boy out…”), this riff says more about our cultural disparities and absurdity than even the bluntest Bush-bashing. Cross describes the experience of eating at Jean Georges, an extremely fancy New York restaurant, where his $500 dinner is capped off by a desert topped with a sheet of pure gold. Cross describes it as “the ultimate ‘fuck you’ to poor people,” then works through the scenario of a 60-year-old Uzbekistani miner who risks his life daily scraping out gold for a living, and the 8-year-old child laborers loading gold bars onto a ship, all so corpulent Americans can eat it. Just because. Besides being funny, it aptly describes a culture obsessed with luxury, and with consumption—a place where gold can be purchased just to be literally devoured and unthinkingly shit out.
