One part PSA, one part auto-tuned remix, and one part Shatner-style weirdness, William Shatner wants to simultaneously creep you out and educate you on the dangers of fried turkey. As the resident Food & More fried turkey advocate, I thought I should pass this one along.
Last year, Shatner joined forces with State Farm to create a non-musical dramatization of an actual incident where he set a blaze during a turkey fry. Well, that has been remixed, and it kinda of creeps me out.
Also, what exactly is the dingle dangle? I don’t think my fryer set has one.
P.S. In all seriousness, be careful if you are going to fry any birds this holiday season. Here is a serious and much more useful video on fryer safety.

Bizzare–yet oddly compelling.
I give it “two snaps up”.

It’s too bad your fryer didn’t come with a dingle-dangle. Obviously, Shatner’s did. But then, he’s Shatner.

Nice… just don’t let your rug drop in the oil Bill.
But screw the deep fried turkey, they’re much better at making about 20 lbs of wings at once.
