Josh Weissman been real quiet since this dropped

Not to mention every popular food youtuber posting shorts

[@David-we3sb]

hopefully he stays that way

[@Zipfei_Kloatscher]

Like quite for about an hour?? 😅😅😅

[@XS2106]

He better stay that way.

[@snowblind8572]

I used to like Josh when he first started but his content has steadily been getting more and more irritating

[@r2micro373]

Those netshaq knives are no joke! I bought one and all I do with it is hold up individual sheets of paper and cut slices off of it. I've never cooked once in my life

[@Jason-fp7vi]

But is your sharpening routine as ritual as a Catholic mass? Please don't tell me you're not using Japanese whetstones we will all laugh at you

[@8xottox8]

Bro you got to get your knife game up and shave off some arm hair.

[@CubanLegend561]

where does one get one of those knives? please and thank you :)

[@seanunderscorepry]

The chimichurri crust scrape sound is ASMR to my ears

[@James-ek3mb]

This was beautiful

[@TheMountebank1]

My favorite part was using a squirt bottle to get the chimichurri into a squirt bottle Oh and a little something around 0:46

[@BriceStacey]

I had to pause the video and that was the exact frame.

[@LindsayDaly]

The 'crispy' texture on the sauce literally had me laughing out loud to myself. Look forward to this video every year.

[@scribbles2928]

The music being just loud enough that its really annoying was a nice touch

[@Mayrink.]

I've watched this several times and I'm still finding new details. The messed up subtitles, the clearly post-added sound effects, the _slightly questionable_ cooking technique, the unnecessary thirst trapping, the bad knife work trying to hide behind fast-forwarding, the not so subtle self sponsor, the god awful transition into a loop ending, the phrase "POV" that doesn't really mean anything, THE LOFI LYRICS I'M JUST NOW HEARING. And so much more I can't even list. This might be your densest video to date, and that's saying a lot.

[@NoAbsolutelynot-un9sf]

Makes me wonder if the concept was an AI cooking channel.

[@kunaldes]

My favorite sound effect was the hydraulic press when he squeezed the steak

[@dolphinately]

Yesterday I watched a Josh Weissman vid called “make philly cheesesteak at home” and the first steps were to make your own bread and then cut steak with a deli slicer.

[@Ski4974]

😂😂😂

[@8xottox8]

>watch recipe for making bread dish at home >be surprised when it includes the making of the bread Damn.

[@edgarallanpoe8309]

@@8xottox8 hey idiot, when people say "at home", it's implied to be accessible to regular people who have access to regular grocery stores and not enough time to bake their own bread or have deli slicers. If they did have that, they'd look up "How do restaurants make philly cheesesteaks"

[@dolphinately]

@@8xottox8 should I milk my own cows and make my own cheese too? The point is an average home cook will get nothing out of a video like that. The short also parodies creators like him

[@8xottox8]

@@dolphinately And yet somehow your lazy ass will not have this same take whenever Shaq mentions cooking a dish with his own home grown veggies and herbs. Actual bozo mentality.

[@vundabars]

saying “it’s perfect” and then giving it a 7/10 is the icing on the cake for me

[@Skrymaster]

We assume it was out of 10, he only said it's a solid 7.285. In reality, who knows what went through the mind of a person who rated something with so many decimals...

[@krombopulos_michael]

Yo the best part was how at the end he says "and that's why" because then the video starts over and it's so seamless! How does he come up with these genius ideas? 🤯

[@madguy228]

lot's of things to love about this but i think my favorite is the extremely forced and completely nonsensical "perfect loop" at the end

[@DozyBinsh]

I was skeptical, but it really takes an incredible chef to calibrate a rating out to three decimal places. Stunning.

[@m.abdullahsabir9544]

lost it at the speed cuts and the over the top orgasmic taste test that EVERY OTHER cooking page on instagram/shorts has the awful habit of doing

[@KvltKommando]

The nodding makes me so fucking angry. I don't know why but when I was visiting Europe, I was advertised realllllllllllly annoying nodding food/meal prep instagrams non stop.

[@herropreeze804]

He really has a talent for scrutinizing and portraying the oversaturated-to-the-point-of-annoying mannerisms.

[@xipalips]

The flaky salt in the 5 minute caramelized onions got me good.

[@NickVanHouse]

the chopping everything just to then blend it was golden

[@paxcaster]

grateful i forget the netshaq april fool's episode every time until it's on my feed, it's the best surprise that you'd think i'd remember by now scraping the sauce w the knife absolutely killed me lmao

[@GrenadeNation]

So many great details but I loved the subtle mispronunciations

[@WesleyKeown]

Getting your April fool's short video sponsored is a flex

[@SaltySunday]

These violent delights have violent ends

[@LarryNoir]

Watching the landscape of cooking media change over the years has been interesting. It feels like just yesterday the top down, sped up Tasty style video was the standard for cooking content. Now production quality and editing has gone through the roof and this Weissman/Max the Meat guy style is everywhere. Dim lighting, close ups, fast cuts, and an emphasis on the sounds of cooking.

[@alaskanadin]

That crispy chimichuri looks next level 💯

the true april fool's prank is when you pwn the fire department by starting a grease fire from alpha-basting your ribeye

[@sumbodee1616]

Ah, Shaq's annual best video

[@Nononchalance]

I hate that NetShaq knows how to create such a perfect uncanny valley. What a cursed video, great job

[@GnomePuntTrainerYT]

This is so perfect because one would think it just mocks homechef tiktoks by being over the top, but there's so much greatness in here it also mocks the homechef tiktoks that try to be over the top ironic, sarcastic and lE rAnDoM with stupid shit sprinkled in just to bait engangement.

[@felixfaber6152]

it's great that the ridiculously fast-paced development of internet culture means that there's a whole different food influencer landscape for you to make fun of every year. I can't wait for the 2026 April Fools where you send up the Gloggit™ trend of "pestomaxxing"

[@TheTylerman25]

something I found as a "quick caramelized onion" trick that tastes closer to the real thing is to use jamaican 'browning' which is just dark brown sugar caramelized as close to burnt as possible then dissolved in salty water. i made it myself because the stuff from the store had weird artificial colorants. it's awesome for adding color and accelerating browning

[@MenacingSnail]

Hey shaq. Good video, but could you please buy a much brighter ring light for your next video? I had trouble seeing every pore on your skin…
