Steve Martin has just posted a funny food review on Instagram, and it’s taking the internet by storm. The legendary comedian included a picture of a rather unfortunate-looking tuna tartar with avocado, captioning it in quintessential sarcasm: “YOU CALL THIS TUNA TARTAR WITH AVOCADO???” Looked more like some science project gone horribly wrong than any haute cuisine. And honestly? Not very sure we would eat it either.

And the comment section went on roasting with jokes and some truly questionable culinary wisdom! User roses4101 took the tack for positivity: ‘Healthy with a steve smile ❤️ life is short get what’s green 💚.’ Sure, Jan. For some time, marymacbakehouse threw some shade saying it “needs some work,” though begrudgingly giving a thumbs-up to the avocado. Priorities, amirite?
Then, tmreinhart delivered the ultimate dad joke: “You can tune a banjo, but you can’t tuna tartar!” Bravo. So gold. The real mystery is that Lordcyrusworthingtoniii seemed to have noticed something “funny” in the background and asked, “Is that a portrait of Conan O’ Brien?” We need answers, Steve.
Some were just horrified. “Dear God, please let there be something else after this,” juliemacieav1 begged, whereas comic_ozzi likened the avocado to a wounded soldier, joking, “Your avocado 🥑 needs a bandaid 🤔😜.” Ouch.
But best of all? Ashleypeppercorn admitted to reading Steve’s caption in his voice, and an entire thread of people joined in saying the same. That’s the power of Steve Martin. Food complaints, even his, sound iconic.
But most weren’t into the hate. Allison.stieger volunteered for the sacrifice: “Hand it over here, I’ll eat it🤤.” Bold. Meanwhile, essentialalls confessed they were feeling cravings at 1 a.m. in Italy after seeing that picture. Dedication or sleep deprivation?
Conspiracy theorists also weighed in-Newrivermyco asks, “Why does the alligator egg look like it’s under a microscope,” which is a fair question. Supernerdtime compared the avocado layers to “the creature from the black lagoon,” and now we can’t unsee it.
Of course, no Steve post would be complete without a reference to his own signature humor. Taydrainthetower gave the classic, “What was that catchphrase of yours? Oh, right. EXCUSE ME!!” while michaelhornsby504 suggested that the dish would go well with “sparkling Muscatel…one of Idaho’s finest wines.” A clever play on words.
In the meantime, megs_mckee came in with a bit of a scam alert about fake Steve Martin accounts-great info to have, but…kinda random?

Just because many like the tartar and many don’t doesn’t mean that Steve Martin couldn’t render a grocery list funny. Honestly, we are here for it now. Excuse us while we go grab something to eat that doesn’t look like it crawled out of a sci-fi movie.
