The Internet is roasting Skip Bayless for his bonkers microwave placement

Yep, we’re losing it over Skip Bayless’ microwave placement. What a way to close the decade.

Forgive the Mad Libs headline, but let’s get into it.

Skip Bayless is a Cowboys fan, and he’s been happy to talk about that ad infinitum for the last decade. The man has hours to fill on television, and the Cowboys let him fill those hours, and some people out there apparently like to listen to him do that.

One recurring bit he’s had over the past year is to throw Ezekiel Elliott’s jersey in the trash can, then fish it back out when the Cowboys play well. It’s a bit. Elliott’s mom has gotten upset about it in the past, which I’d argue is pretty silly, as Bayless is an actor playing a role.

Anyway, Bayless did it again this week after this latest embarrassing Cowboys loss. I’m not here to talk about that. I’m here to talk about Bayless’ microwave, which appears to be below hip level, and directly above his trash can.

This is an insane place to put a microwave. I’m flabbergasted. Even if the trash was put there for the sake of the bit, I cannot understand how it would be comfortable or convenient to have your microwave below hip level. (Also, he’s done this before, and the trash was in front of the microwave before, so this might just be how his kitchen is set up.)

With no counter underneath it either, any food that may spill when you’re taking food out of the microwave is just going to go right on the floor.

Perhaps this is a power statement, basically saying: We’re so rich we never have to re-heat leftovers, and thus can put our microwave in an absolutely bonkers place, because we’ll never use it.

But at that point, just get avant-garde with it. Put it on the ceiling.

Or maybe, and this is horrifying to think about, maybe Skip just eats all his meals directly out of the microwave, hunched over the trash can until he’s done and can just drop the remains. I’m not ruling this out.

I am not the only person to have noticed this.

It’s not just a tame way to close out the decade, it’s a beautiful way.
