The only thing I can think of is that they’re meant to generate engagement by compelling people to discuss how dumb the method is, share it with friends to commiserate about how dumb it is, etc. The video was about 7 minutes long, but I made it about a minute and a half into it before realizing it was just nonsense. She basically dropped a bag of cake mix into a frying pan, broke some eggs over it, put a lid on it, set the flame to high and acted like that was a sane course of events. One I saw recently had a woman making a pineapple upside down cake, but it was clearly designed to be idiotic and/or infuriating. I know what you’re referring to, though I don’t know of a name for it other than “annoying”. If this topic is less than compelling, feel free to mention any weird, stupid or gross food videos you like. The videos would end up a half hour long - just mind-boggling. I’m making this up, but you get the idea. Or the savory version, you put (say) hot dogs inside hamburgers on top of pizzas baked into a tenderloin roast, carved up and served on waffles with a 30-ingredient sauce. Then you make cake layers and layer in the pie. Then you make a double pie crust and bake it all in. Then you roll it all out and roll it up again and cut it into pieces, Then you make some cake batter and dip in the pieces, then fry them. Then you stuff that inside a different cookie dough.

They’d show a complex series of processes which no sane person would ever do to food, a seemingly endless sequence of ingredients and preparations mostly involving putting things inside of other things. Production values looked like any cooking video of the 5-Minute Crafts / Best Cooking Hacks genre. The videos I’m thinking of seemed real enough, but were surreal in their complexity. Not fake, as such – not those videos that show how to bake a perfect 7-layer wedding cake all at once in the microwave, and they’ve blatantly faked the result. Help me find something I remember seeing several of, several years back.
