Best of Butterball Turkey Cooking Helpline

In 1981 Butterball instituted a cooking helpline. Popular Mechanics highlighted some calls. They are okay.

I can imagine some better calls:

  • “Hello, Butterball? My name is Hillary. I’ve been thawing this turkey for a week and it’s still frozen solid. In fact, nothing I’m around seems to thaw. What’s wrong?”
  • “Hi. My name is Carlos… Carlos Danger. I’m stuffing my bird. Wanna see?”
  • “Can I speak to Mr. Butterball please? My name is Joe. I have a question. How do you get out of a Chinese finger cuffs? Why am I asking you? I’m asking everyone.”

You get the idea.

  1. Hello, Butterball? I was starting to follow my Romany grandmothers recipe, and step one is “First, steal a turkey.” Now I’m in jail for shoplifting. Can you help me make bail?

    p.s. You might pass along to anybody who asks that it isn’t a good idea to try to boost a turkey by putting it in your pantyhose.

  2. Hello, Butterball? My name is Waleed and I want your opinion on something. I’m thinking of killing the entire infidel family next door and my idea is to give them a turkey stuffed with explosives that will go off when the little pop-up gadget you put in the bird pops up. Do you think it will still pop up if I put on it a couple wires for the detonator? Oh. You don’t. Too bad. Thanks anyway, and have a Happy Thanksgiving, inshallah.

  3. Hello Butterball, my asshole brother voted for Trump.
    Is there a way I can poison just the Leg?
    He likes the turkey legs and makes a big deal out of getting one.
    Not really Poison-poison, I don’t want to him to die, just something nasty like explosive diarrhea, or hernia grade cramps and asshole bleeding, those would be nice.
    P.S. Do they make an extra tryptophan style Turkey? If he fell asleep I could write on him with a Sharpie

  4. Hello, Butterballs? Yeah, uh, my husband is retiring in January and he wants me to cook a damn extra special turkey this year to celebrate. Could you uh, send about 30 specialists over to help out? OK yeah, uh, and bring a turkey, too. What?… Huh?…. What do you mean you’re not Butterballs? Rosie O’Donnell?!
    Uh. My bad! Barry must have mislabeled your number.”

  5. Average Guy Joe Biden: Listen, Butterball hotline. I’ve tried your famous popcorn stuffing three years in a row and I just end up with a hell of a mess every time. What’s that? You have to pop the popcorn first? Oh jeez. I never thought of that. That’s probably a big fucking deal.

  6. Consumer: Hello, Butterball? Is there any reason a 6 month old can’t have some turkey?
    Butterball: Does he have any teeth?
    Consumer: Of course not, who ever heard of a turkey that has teeth!
