Someone on Reddit wrote that they enjoyed The Tiny Chef Show because the chef is tiny and happy, while the real world is big and scary.
Most people, I imagine, first saw Tiny Chef from this:
Tiny Chef has celebrity appearances, and popular music, and a stop motion style that probably inflates the budget to anything but…but at the end of the day, it’s a show for children. Problems have simple solutions. Characters are friendly, a conflict occurs, and through a conveniently-placed Zoom call, a quick change of mindset, and some collaborative action, the day is saved.
The Tiny Chef presented in the video is the antithesis. It’s the same person facing a corporation, a corporation that must account for budgets, product, and bottom line. There is no resolution because the problem is real, and all that followed for some time were Instagram reels depicting an empty world where Tiny Chef had once been. This could be called an analogy for the olivion that may await us all, I GUESS…or it was just a relatable moment because it reminded everyone of experiencing disappointment when they failed to obtain, maintain, or….contain…a dream job.
And Then He Returned
Now he’s in a star show in San Francisco, across the street from that Monet exhibit.
I saw a star show there before that was about environmental sustainability. I thought it was a star show, but it depicted a city during daylight. I wanted to write a snarky comment about how “I rate this star show one star, which is more stars than I got in this show.” I imagine the academy would respond with an equally snarky reply: “You idiot, there was a star there the entire time. It’s called the sun.”
The star show now has the only star it will ever need: Tiny Chef, combining his rainbow vegan cooking with the complexity and precision of science.
Save Tiny Chef, and you just may save the world.
