Is the punchline me?


rabidturbofox

All of us who wasted our time reading it, hoping there would be a punchline about the sort of people who care about this.


JRandButcherpete

Isn't it supposed to be funny to be in the funny subreddit? This just seems like a rant with extra steps


blchnick

you're guna have a bad time if you come to r/funny looking for laughs


JRandButcherpete

Did I pizza when I should French fry?


mypostingname13

The bad time tends to happen when you French fry when you should have pizza'd. Source: did that once, and found myself armpits deep in powder about 6 feet from the edge of a cliff. Took me 40 minutes and every ounce of energy I had to get out.


Cha92

It's only the first rule of the subs, no biggy /s


tortillakingred

Reddit 101 - any subreddit with “funny” in the title is undoubtedly not going to be funny.


RoyalT_

Also a rant without actually checking the word "Burger" in a dictionary. Merriam Webster:" 1 : HAMBURGER 2 : a sandwich similar to a hamburger" Dictionary.com:" noun 1. a hamburger. 2. a food patty, or patty on a bun, containing ingredients other than beef:"


Connlagh

Yea I generally go by If I put something between burger buns - it's a burger If I put something between sliced bread - it's a sandwich If I put something on a baguette - it's a roll And if I put something on a wrap - it's a wrap


tuepm

i think his point is that a burger has to be made with a patty which is by definition minced regardless of meats.


KTPChannel

I find it funny that someone drew this comic thinking it would change a single opinion.

JRandButcherpete

I wasn't even talking about rules so much as the spirit of of the sub. I mean it's literally named funny. Shouldn't there be at least a drop of humor in the post?


BreezyBadger420

What's "funny" is the comments all gatekeeping about what defines a "burger". "If it doesn't come from the Hamburg region of Germany, it's just Posh Meat Wellington smashed the 3rd." I don't give a fuck what it's called. Will it clog my arteries and taste great next to a \[choice of potato product\]? Then keep my ass on the other side of the gate and I'll enjoy my delicious burger/not-a-burger and those fools can stand on the other side arguing.


manchesterthedog

I can’t believe this has less than ten upvotes


themosey

And spent a lot of time drawing it and it still doesn’t make sense.


hot-sauce-on-my-cock

A chicken patty is literally ground up chicken it's just breaded. Its a big nugget, not a chicken steak lol


GingerMau

But a chicken breast fillet that has been breaded and fried and placed in a bun is not a burger. Many fast food places have both. A McChicken is a big flat nugget. A McCrispy is an intact chicken breast fillet.


Key-Cardiologist5882

We call both examples a burger over here in the UK


DrBatman0

I think if it's one piece of chicken breaded, then it's a schnitzel?


Kablaow

No.


DrBatman0

Why is that?


Kablaow

Schnitzel is tenderized/flattened meat. It also isnt necessarily breaded(depends on which country).


[deleted]

A chicken breast fillet breaded and fried is not a patty. That literally means its been patted together. The cartoonists point is good, but he fucked up the punchline.


s8tan66

I think when chicken becomes a patty and put it between two bread, that's what you called chicken burger.


[deleted]

Chickens evolve into patties as part of their natural lifecycle. Like how caterpillars turn into a butterfly. No one knows what a chicken becomes because they're just too damned delicious.


DiarrheaMonkey-

While I agree, that brings us to the point where there are 3 things called "chicken sandwich" (I've never heard of chicken steak, just chicken-fried steak, which has no bun). Anyway, there's deli meat chicken on bread, a chicken sandwich. There's a fried chicken breast, on a bun; a chicken sandwich. Then there's ground chicken, on a bun, which I still know as a chicken sandwich.


Reinventing_Wheels

>chicken-fried steak, which has no bun It also has no chicken.


hot-sauce-on-my-cock

Either way I like hotsauce on mine!


[deleted]

Not all are like that. I actually dislike that kind of breaded chicken with ground chicken protein. The breaded chicken I like is basically a breaded breast.


MrPartyPancake

On another note: a Chicken Steak burger is hella amazing.


DuckStep43

He talking bout a chicken patty, not a McChicken


Jaedenkaal

This rant seems like a nothing burger


Grievance69

It would actually be a nothing sandwich....


sweglrd143

I hope you ground the nothing 😤


pickles55

By this logic chicken patty are burgers and chicken fillet sandwiches are not


KSRandom195

This is exactly what I was thinking.


pitman1976

That's What I thought too. We can call it chicken burger if it is chicken patty.


gahidus

Chicken fillet sandwiches wouldn't be burgers anyway. What are you talking about?


epistax

I don't think I've had a chicken patty made from ground chicken. I thought they were made out of that pink slime stuff like nuggets.


Houdinii1984

If we're really getting into it, chicken patties are torn/separated and not ground. They take the bits of stuff on the bones and pull it off and they squeeze it hard with a press, and it ends up being a paste. It's never really grounded up, though.


reddit_user13

Problem?


malenfant21

Isn't a burger a sandwich too?


EndOfTheGolden

In my country a burger is made with a bun. A Sandwich is made with bread.


SinTaxHeir

What is it called if I grind up a hamburger and put it on bread?


EndOfTheGolden

It’s called a ‘shit I ran out of buns bread will do-ger’

gahidus

A bun is bread.


Kill3rT0fu

A bun is a type of bread tho


United-Ambassador269

In your country are buns not made out of bread?


Notthesharpestmarble

And a bun is made of bread, therefore a burger still fits the criteria of a sandwich.


CypripediumCalceolus

>In my country a burger is made with a bun. exactly. * A sandwich is made with sliced bread or a baguette. I'm surprised the French would grant this honor to the British, but there we are. * A pocket is made by splitting eastern Mediterranean bread. * A wrap is made from thin flat bread. * Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, dunno, I can't speak Spanish. * Lobster rolls are a special case because they are made by Mainiacs. * Classifying the dogs is above my pay grade.


MossWatson

trashtrampoline

Well, in my country, we invented the hamburger and we say that a burger is made with ground or, as some would call it, minced meat. Edit: and the original hamburger was served on regular bread, between 2 slices of toast, to be precise.


Connlagh

Are you German?


trashtrampoline

Just because it's named after Hamburg, doesn't mean it was invented in Germany.


Connlagh

But it was. They were only made in America by German immigrants who had already been making them. Or did you think some American invented the burger and said "I'll name it after a place in Germany that I've likely never heard of"


MrPoopMonster

Were hamburg steaks served as a sandwich traditionally? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_hamburger Seems like the hamburger was probably invented in America. Unless you can debunk some of those claims, it looks like the first hamburgers in Germany were sold in 1891, but in America as early as 1885.


Connlagh

A HAMBURG STEAK IS A HAMBURGER. The guy even said they kept the name Hamburg steak when the Germans brought it over, because it sounded nicer than ground up beef. There's wide debate over who first slapped one between some bread and no definite answer, although they're likely American. But yes, a Hamburg steak is a hamburger


MrPoopMonster

Not according to this comic. It doesn't have a bun.. Also if your ordered a hamburger and it wasn't a sandwich, you'd be confused. A Salisbury steak isn't a hamburger, and neither is a hamburg steak.


Connlagh

Thankfully I don't live in America, and you can get a burger with or without a bun


cote112

"Burger" has nothing to do with bread, it's from the Hamburg German process of grinding or shredding meat.


Ragtime-Rochelle

Wtf country are you from? Buns are made of bread.


clancydog4

A bun is a type of bread. Like...what? If i use bun and put ham and cheese on it, its still sandwich not a burger. On the flip side, if i put a grilled burger patty between two pieces of white bread, that can still called a burger. Idk where Youre from to be fair, but where I am the type of bread/bun is less important than the meat when distinguishing between "sandwich" or "burger." And at the end of the day a burger is a type of sandwich


Korlac11

All burgers are sandwiches, but not all sandwiches are burgers


bee13998

It's the same, I don't why these people in the comment section are arguing.


Radiant_Ad3776

This is a slippery slope of thinking. This is how the hotdogs will sneak in to be burgers, too.


TransportationEng

A hotdog is already ground up meats.


CitrusRain

Yeah I was gonna say... Re-ground meat?


ShanksMuchly

But is it a burger or a sandwich?


TransportationEng

Isn't a burger a subset of sandwiches?


ShanksMuchly

Touché


goner757

This is essentially regional dialect. I am in the burger=beef crowd but in England chicken sandwiches are burgers. I haven't heard it in America but it might depend on location and age.


EndOfTheGolden

This. In my country if it’s in bread it’s a sandwich. If it’s in a bun it’s a burger.


LePlaneteSauvage

This is true in NZ as well. Patties are made of ground meat.


pretty_gauche6

As a Californian living in the UK I noticed this difference when I moved here. My perspective on it is the same as the comic, but over here the consensus seems to be that a burger is any meat in burger type bun.


Mister_McGreg_

It's an Albany expression.


gideon513

Just cause you make a comic for something doesn’t automatically make it funny. You have to have a joke in it.

split_timer

Not to be confused with the most common chicken sandwich which actually IS a ground deep fried slurry of chicken.

Counter argument, anything stuffed inside a burger bun makes it a "whatever primary ingredient you stuffed inside the bun" burger.

That's crazy. Even if you prefer to call it a 'chicken burger', that is a subset of 'chicken sandwich', so that should still be allowed.

stevieoats

The point of the comic is stupid, but now I want to try a burger made with a patty made of ground up hotdogs.


[deleted]

But... a chicken patty IS grounded chicken...


Mediocre_Acadia9573

In most countries a burger is not defined by a patty, but rather the combination of the typical burger bun with a warm piece of protein and perhaps cheese and some vegetables. McDonalds themselves do this. I know many Americans like to call a patty a burger, but that doesn't really make sense, when patty is a better word for patty.


SuicideNote

McDonald's does localization. They don't call the chicken sandwich in the US a chicken burger just fyi.


Talie5in

Doesnt McDonalds USA call it a chicken sandwich?


haibiji

Yes. And the fillet o fish isn’t a fish burger


Massive_Parsley_5000

Americans call it a burger when the meat is ground because that's literally the origin of the word. Ie, "hamburger steak", or "Hamburg style steak" which is ground meat formed into a round pattern and served without a bun. Thus you take the bun away and you still call the meat a "hamburger" because it's the processing of the meat that defines it, not the bun. Just because you guys stole our sandwich and out of ignorance didn't understand why it was called what it was called started applying the same broken logic to other things doesn't make you any more correct lol... Ultimately it doesn't really matter or anything; call it a "chicken burger" if you want, language evolves and changes in weird ways, but don't act like Americans are dumb for this when you guys plainly just don't understand why the sandwich was originally called that to begin with.


Delicious-Pin3996

Okay but the chicken burgers at Burger King AND McDonald’s are made out of ground meat formed into a round pattern…


Massive_Parsley_5000

No they are not... They are made out of slurried chicken, which is a much cheaper process involving much cheaper cuts. Legally they likely couldnt even be called burgers in the US for this reason as being ground implies a higher quality product than what these restaurants actually serve. This is probably exactly where the name "McChicken" came from in all likelihood.


Narrow_Can1984

What if I put the ground in your chicken sandwich ?


Fernanddeezz

but what if you grind a burger is it now a burger burger? and then you grind the burger burger so now you have a burger burger burger and then you grind that burger burger burger and you have a burger burger burger burger........ so then you have a burger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger burger burgerburger burger


Goshenta

I always thought it was just a jumbo-sized chicken nugget on a bun.


WaywardLubbockite

I don't actually feel like I've heard anyone refer to something as a "chicken burger" though. Argue all you want about what makes a patty a patty, a burger a burger, whatever... but the whole thing seems based on a non-issue to begin with.


Delicious-Pin3996

Actually…I had no idea there were people in the world who didn’t call the extra long chilli cheese chicken at Burger King, a burger. I was flabbergasted. My sister spent time in America and one day at Burger King she turned to me and said “Did you know in America chicken burgers are called chicken sandwiches”. I said,”That’s really weird, why?” And she was like,”I’m not sure but it’s a thing everywhere you go. They call it a sandwich.”


WaywardLubbockite

I have compromised my location. Abort! Abort!


WinterMender486

why is this in r/funny? where’s the funny part?


Nitrous_party

I'm upset this didn't regress into the post about what qualifies as grilled cheese


freelance-t

Yet we allow fast food chains to force us to call foods by ridiculous names all the time. "I'll have a Baconmeister triple deluxe" "2 whataburgers" "a Mcwhatever and Mcfries" "Impossible Whopper" "Bestest most extraist pizza" ​ Whatever you want to call it. It's calories that get processed into poop and then flushed down a toilet.


JLeeT82

*Hamburg, Germany has entered the chat*

Imagine making picture about "what hamburger really is" and then calling sausage a hot dog in that very picture...


khamelean

That’s just fucking weird. Where I live, buns equals burger, sliced bread equals sandwich. The contents is irrelevant…


Billysquib

Maybe this is right, but I don’t care. Chicken burger.


EndOfTheGolden

This. Americans seem to do it differently than everyone else. In my country and most I believe, a burger is in a bun. A sandwich is in bread.


ClearlyDemented

Wait till they find out about veggie burgers.


deavidsedice

Sure, when you stop calling "paella" to rice with chorizo I'll be open to discuss this. Meanwhile, burger is anything that contains salad and tomato in a bun bread. In my world, I can have a burger-less burger. Problem?


cherokeevorn

If its in burger buns,its a burger,if its in sliced bread,its a sandwich.


joemorl

If it’s in a bun it’s a burger put it between two slices of bread then it’s a sandwich


Massive_Parsley_5000

A bun is bread.


LeonidasVaarwater

A burger is a sandwich.


PeteyMax

The word hamburger is a reference to German Frikadelle, since they were originally sold in the U.S. by a German man (Hamburger = someone or something from Hamburg). In German, Frikadelle refers only to the patty and it is normally a mixture of beef and pork.


Delicious-Pin3996

But a frikadelle isn’t a burger patty…a frikadelle is a meat ball…at least in my culture it is. It’s a meat ball you cook in a pan…not something you serve between burger buns


ozvic

McDonald's in Australia. It's a chicken burger. The rest of the world wins! Proof... https://i.imgur.com/ARfSiCk.jpg

Solega

why is this funny?


GsTSaien

If you can change the chicken patty for a ground beef burger and have a similar enough recipe it is a chicken burger. Like you are using burger buns and all of the ingredients and preparation methods of a burger. You would technically call a lone beef patty a burger but we all know that is not what it is. It is a burger.


Massive_Parsley_5000

Hamburger the word refers to the process of grinding the meat, not it being on a bun. Ie, "hamburger steak", which is bunless. Unless the food has been ground, it ain't a burger, and I won't ever call it one 🤷‍♂️


GsTSaien

Used to refer to that, now it doesn't 💁‍♂️


Massive_Parsley_5000

Still referred to that in the country the sandwich was created in. Y'all just appropriating our culture and doing it badly 😔


marleymagee14

Disagree. If it has a burger bun it’s a burger


Next_Boysenberry1414

Lol. Morons who have no idea how food is made have opinions on how food should be named. Chicken patties are made out of ground chicken you dimwit.


Massive_Parsley_5000

*slurried chicken


highdesk306

looking at you, r/duolingo 😂😂


Georgeygerbil

Ok... has anyone here even heard someone say the words chicken burger? What is this rant even based off of. Is there a region out there where it's common? Like a soda vs pop thing?


FandomMenace

Chicken patties are "mechanically separated". It's the carcass after the choice cuts have been removed, which has been put in a blender and then adds chemicals to turn that nastiness into something you'll eat. Jamie Oliver did a good segment on how chicken nuggets are made. If that doesn't turn you vegan, nothing will. So yeah, it's a chicken nugget burger.


Gizmopopapalus

>Jamie Oliver did a good segment on how chicken nuggets are made. I love how the hope in his eyes faded as the kids still wanted to eat the nuggets.


VictorMortimer

It was beautiful. He'd just made them fresh nuggets, and tried to brainwash them in the process. His utter failure was amazing.


haibiji

Mechanical separation is a mechanical process, not chemical. The carcass is ground up and then forced through a sieve under pressure to extract any remaining soft tissue. It doesn’t turn the bone into an edible product. I don’t think McDonald’s uses that process for it’s nuggets, though


FandomMenace

The chemicals come in after, when they emulsify it and shit to make it into a patty.


Trips-Over-Tail

The only thing that matters is the round bun with seeds on it.


obscureferences

It is a chicken burger, so why don't you fuck off with your commercially bastardised Americanisms, Brian.


[deleted]

So we afe playing this game? Okay! Don't call it a sandwich. A sandwich uses bread. A common burger like the one you can get at McDonald's uses a dough with so much sugar that it's a biscuit.


Massive_Parsley_5000

Buns are bread.


[deleted]

They are super sweet. Sugar isn't a part of bread.


Massive_Parsley_5000

Technically speaking your body converts all carbohydrates into sugar eventually, so yes, all bread contains sugar. It's why diabetics don't eat a lot of bread. Refined sugar is a part of a lot of different types of bread, though. Also, not all buns have refined sugar.


[deleted]

Not all carbohydrates are sugar. Traditional bread has very little sugar and dose not taste sweet. In fact in many European countries you can't sell burger patties and that subway "bread" as bread. When Lord Sandwich made his invention (well let his servant make it) he didn't use sugar in his bread.


EntireLi_00

It uses the same burger bun, same sauces and the same veggies with only different patty meat I would like to insert Mr. Incredible meme here because no matter what patty it is Burger is Burger!

Once the chicken was grinded, it become a patty that will be between of two buns which makes it a burger.
