Ray Parody Cooks Up Contraband

Rena Ray, the previously-unknown sister of Rachael Ray, has a show of her own. She won't tell you how to cook up puttanesca salad, though. Rena's interests lean toward the illicit and her mentors were probably cell-mates. The homegrown video below features Rena Ray providing instruction on the fine art of cooking up methamphetamine out in the country.



Is it a clever idea? Sure. Is it funny? So-so. To be honest, Rena sounds a little more like Paula Deen than Rachael Ray. The basic flaw is one often-encountered in comedy: humorous premise, but no interesting follow-through. The actress doing Rena, however, is about 10x better than your usual YouTuber. Overall, it's a solid effort.

I prefer Rachael Ray's turkey chili to Rena Ray's crystal meth. Yum-o trumps "smells like cat piss" every time!
