Man, that how to fold socks one is going to be a real time saver; I can't believe I never thought of that. posted by ook at 10:40 PM on April 24, 2012 [1 favorite]
I wish these were actually about how to do basic things. I love a good egg salad sandwich, so I clicked that link first thinking I'd see how they do it and then probably make one to snack on. I don't think I'll be trying their technique at home. posted by Arbac at 10:43 PM on April 24, 2012 [5 favorites]
It is 1 AM and I am in the middle of a paper-writing marathon and I am trying not to crack up so loudly that my fiance wakes up in the next room. Thank you for this. posted by Scientist at 10:56 PM on April 24, 2012 [1 favorite]
Before watching, I thought, "I bet I make better egg salad than this guy"... but I admit he has me beat. posted by painquale at 10:57 PM on April 24, 2012 [1 favorite]

When you lift heavy stuff, you should lift by bending your knees instead of leaning over and pulling up with your back.

You will need:
- some hardboiled eggs
- some mayonnaise (Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise)
- any crunchy green vegetable
Remove and discard the shells from the eggs. Chop everything up and mix it together. Place the mixture between two slices of bread.
The main trick is to separate the whites and yolks of the hard boiled egg, blend the mayo and yolk into a paste, and then mix in big torn chunks of the egg white. (Thanks, Kenny Shopsin!) posted by painquale at 11:03 PM on April 24, 2012 [2 favorites]
Meh. That's what I said: Chop it and mix it. You can do that normal or you can do that fancy. Either way, you're left with a house full of egg stink. posted by Sys Rq at 11:06 PM on April 24, 2012 [7 favorites]
A sandwich.

Putting tape on the Coke can was ahhh so hilarious.
If you are worried about how much food they're wasting, perhaps you could watch TV for five seconds, or acknowledge the existence of the Food Network? I am sure any comedy on TV has wasted more resources in the pursuit of laughs than this YouTube channel. posted by stoneandstar at 2:25 PM on April 25, 2012

That's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. There's some sort of aggression being emitted by theses videos but I can't tell who it's being directed at: Is it himself? Is it the viewer? Is it his parents? Is it society? I suppose this kind of ambiguity is what I find so compelling about these. posted by coolxcool=rad at 5:02 PM on April 25, 2012
- some hardboiled eggs
- some mayonnaise (Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise)
- any crunchy green vegetable
No mustard???
Yes mustard. And salt, and pepper. Diced celery is good for your crunchy green vegetable, but if you don't have it (or are too lazy to dice celery, like me) just put some crunchy lettuce and/or alfalfa sprouts on the sandwich.
Also the easiest way to chop up the eggs (whites and yolks at the same time) is with a potato masher (the manual kind, not a hand mixer.) posted by Serene Empress Dork at 5:04 PM on April 25, 2012
