In this week’s show, I produced a story about the phenomenon of turkey deep fryer PSAs. Go listen to it here.

But while hearing about the videos is great, the best way to truly experience their magic is to view them in their native habitat — on Youtube. Here are some my favorites.

3) Fargo Fire Department’s whopper. I dare you to try not smiling while watching this. Can someone make me a 6-hour loop of this so I can just play it on my screen in lieu of a fireplace at my Christmas party this year?

 

4) The Escambia County Fire Rescue’s demo doesn’t produce the biggest fireball, but it’s one of the most enjoyable. I fall in love with Lt. Akerman’s awkward glee every time.

 

5) The Gwinnett County Fire Department shows you exactly why you shouldn’t throw water on a grease fire.
