I agree. I think all the ridiculous responses to this post are just trying to make up for how stupid it is.
That’s what pulled me in. I knew it was going to be stupid, but I was craving a “what could it be, surprise!” moment.
For me the video missed the mark (i.e., not so-unfunny-its-funny) when he started carefully counting the screws. It removed all pretense, destroyed the illusion that it could be a brilliant tip. At that moment he was basically saying “I am trol making a fool of you.” Just keep the toilet seat assembly on fast-forward and get right to the absurdity in 30 seconds and it might have been funnier.
Add a sous vide heater and do away with the pot. Three birds, one stone.
ETA: seems to me draining pasta is no longer the preferred method. Scoop the pasta out and drop it into the almost finished sauce in the pan next burner over. The undrained pasta water helps thicken the sauce. Saves a step.
