from Trump's Cabinet | The Tim Dillon Show #417 · #417

4 min

Tim plays clips from British TikTok group Corey's World eating gas station junk food for fame, and riffs on how bizarre and destabilizing it is that people become famous for eating mundane food like mayonnaise or drinking gravy.

In this bit6 moments
  • Tim introduces Corey's World, a TikTok account where British guys eat gas station and grocery store food and monetize the content.
  • Clip plays of the Corey's World crew describing their chippy tea and various British takeaway meals.
  • Tim's point: these people are genuinely famous now for eating gas station food, which is more absurd than early reality TV fame like Survivor.
  • Being famous for eating gas station sandwiches is destabilizing—imagine having to explain to people that's your entire identity.
  • Tim contrasts this with travel influencers who dive into waterfalls; at least they're doing something interesting, not just choking down egg salad.
  • The Corey's World guys have become so recognizable for their specific content that being seen eating gas station food is their defining characteristic.
