You know, that is, excuse me, a damn fine glass of tea.

This seems like it could be interpreted as mean-spirited. But it also feel so right, because it's indistinguishable from one of David Lynch's self-documenting videos on YouTube. (I swear I've seen him making iced tea. Or maybe it was an art installation. Hard to tell really, it's not the point.)

Are you sure it wasn't quinoa?

I thought so too, at first, but I'm pretty sure the guy's signoff, along with the chyron "A REALLY BORED PRODUCTION" indicates that he's very much in on the joke of his weird style of presentation.

It is - slightly - someone has added the Twin Peaks soundtrack to what was originally an odd instructional video of how to make iced tea...

Sweet Tea???!!!

This is neither and instructional video on how to make iced tea nor a joke. It is an abomination.

You're right. Only one cup of sugar??

Remove the tags as you don't want the cardboard to ruin the taste of despair.

Maybe we can get a, get, get a, um, a tea, an ice tea tutorial.

Ok, I take it back 100%, it's really damn impossible to interpret this as mean-spirited!

It's also 100% awesome. I've wanted more Twin Peaks, and now we have unintentional Twin Peaks Fan Fic Videos.

I don't have time for tea.

Alan Rickman disagrees.

I don't see what the issue is. Doesn't that music play for everyone when they make iced tea? Or is it just me?

My SO has a simple method for making Iced Tea:

1. Make tea
2. Make it get cold
3. There are no more steps

It would have been hard to develop the same atmosphere with a video that short though.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me - a body, dead, wrapped in plastic.

That's STEVE SUTTON! Something Awful was briefly infatuated with him back in the aughts.

(Also, sweet tea is beetus in a glass. So gross.)
