Was the Chris Christie buttering the turkey video the real deal or was it faked?

I have watched it several times and can't tell.

Anyone know how this was accomplished?

3. I can't tell if it's real or not....

But one thing for sure...Chris Christie was made for comedy.

4. Is this another "lol at the obese man" thread...?

5. Why not just assume the worst?

It was a video of Christie on Morning Joe talking about how everyone had to work hard. While talking, he seasoned and buttered a turkey for roasting, and then paused to wipe his buttery hands on his suit.

10. No it's not

He's either a delightful comedian or there was some CGI going on. It's quite funny. It was a clip on Letterman so it's probably CGI. Here is the clip

13. It was done very well, which was what made it so funny. It WAS funny! The cuts to

Joe and Mika asking a serious question made it hilarious.

You'll wonder yourself it it's real or not

8. I don't believe that was the proper technique

Every time I'e ever roasted or witnessed the roasting of a turkey. The buttering was done by looenig the skin from the meat while leaing enough connective tissue intact to hold the skin on. Then you force in a compound butter made of sage and rosemary. Then you baste. Buttering the outside is silly and likely staged.

9. It's wonderful to be stoned isn't it?

I gather that from your name.

12. The Marvels Of Chromakey...

Back in my teevee days, we had lots of fun with the toy...it replace a color the camera sees with what is superimposed through another camera. In this case, they took the video of mourning Joe..."green screened" a guy in a suit size similar to Christie's with the face matted out...thus the real Christy face is there, the suit and turkey were superimposed with hillarious results...

Happy Turkey Day...
