This is not how it was supposed to be. The can was supposed to explode unexpectedly, possibly maim a bystander, and render the entire building uninhabitable for a six month period. 
 
Also, Drew is far too handsome to allow himself to be subjected to this kind of treatment.

I had to clean up cat diarrhea/vomit (I'm not sure which it was) today so this didn't have as big an impact on me as I anticipated.  Still gross though.

I imagine that this is the type of food that causes you to grow taste buds in your small intestine, just so your body has a way of telling you that this stuff tastes worse than your own shit.

"Wait, Kessler's the intern, we can MAKE him do it!"
 
That's the most evil thing I've ever heard you say Brad. Poor Kessler.
I approve of this.

Just great, first they decipher the Rosetta Stone, then they find the Dead Sea Scrolls, then open Al Capone's vault, then they find the Titanic, then they prove the Shroud of Turin is a fake, then they explain the Bermuda Triangle now this... What's left? Some things aren't meant to be fucked with, look at Howard Carter...
 
I need mystery and wonder in my life; the Giantbomb can of Deathfisch was the last meaningful taboo. What next, Giantbomb'll spill the beans about who really killed Kennedy? Jeez, I thought 9/11 would be exposed as an inside job long before they opened that Pandora's can of Swedish Evil. Major bad joo-joo guys.
 
Oh well, all good quandaries must be answered someday, I guess. This truly marks a transition for GB and having other Whiskey Media people there also clearly demarcates that company's chrysalis in the public eye: those people are seen more as Whiskey Media personalities than they are identified as talent associated with their respective websites.
 
 
But still, Drew looks like the nicest guy in the world, the kind of friend who gives you sound advice about dealing with life and who never gets laid. Why in the world would you make him eat that crap? You should've just made Matt Kessler eat it by himself, that smegma's expendable. Oh god Brad! why did you do that?!

Good work guys :) Drew and Matt, you're both champs... fishy, sock soup champs. One question, though. Why?

Drew is a bad man. Acted like it was no big deal to eat that cesspool of fish.  
Video was kinda weak though. With as much build up as there was it all sorta went out with a fizzle, not a <>.

Isn't there some Quest thing you could be spamming on another part of the site? Just saying.

This is one of those videos that cements Giant Bomb's status as one of the best websites on the internet.  Yes, they provide accurate and good video game coverage and have great editorial along those lines, but you never see IGN or GameSpot or GameSpy or Game___ have the balls to do this, film it, and put it up as a main feature on their site.  It's why these guys are so exponentially better, and why they're more fun than spending my days reading forwarded press releases. 
 
On a side note, simply looking at the open can makes me kind of want to throw up.

Surströmming smells much worse than it tastes. Not alot of things I've come across that smells worse. Might only be beaten by suage pipe smell.

I think if they didn't open it underwater it would have exploded all over them. Drew only seemed to open it a little bit in the water and tons of mutated looking crap came flying out and floated to the top.

Intern abuse at its worst! I'd say I love it, but my heart goes out to Matt and Drew. Fish yogurt doesn't look good, and I can't even imagine the smell.
