This is another one of those things that I was so ready not to like, but damn. Thanks for both of those.

The other thing is, the girl in the second link looks disturbingly like 12 year old little boy me as a kid.

Pirate-Bartender-Zombie-Monkey that guy's laughter is going to haunt my nightmares for years to come.

That's funny. I deepfry gnocchi all the time. I've never seen that.

I'm sorry, but that Zoom girl was so annoying to me I could not watch it to the end. And I loved the original Zoom as a kid. It's where I learned all about SASEs!

I laugh, but when I was 2, I burned myself because I thought the gas stove was okay to touch. Scarred for life.

Reminds me of Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee.

Some adults shouldn't have cooking shows either.

How does that first video have only 301 views, but it has 265 likes? Most videos seem to have one like per every hundred views.

I frequently see videos that have only a few hundred (usually between 250 and 400) views even though they've been posted on channels with several 100k subscribers for 6-7 hours (so they almost definitely have been watched many more times than that). I think that probably youtube does not update those numbers fully synchronously. Or maybe because likes are rarer, they can afford to update them closer to real-time than views.

Does anyone else remember that episode of the original ZOOM where a couple of kids baked fresh fish in wet clay? That segment sent me careening off on the path of faux-survivalist cooking.
MMMmmm, dirt fish...

Kids that cook are cute and some adults do need to learn how to cook like those kids.

The Zoom thing is terrible, but when you watch the show it fits in with the whole low-budget, DIY, "look mom, no adults!" aesthetic.

If that Sandra Lee link made you want to cry, I think this one will put you in the hospital...

View counts update in realtime up to 300. Rapidly rising videos then get frozen and batch updated every 6 hours or so. See here.
