I am afraid every time she throws the cooking equipment in the air. A falling colander has no handle, aaanastasia.

Boo. None of the videos work for me.

Worked for me. Yaaaaaay!!!

On the new Muppets sitcom, Swedish Chef will be doing Craft Services for the show-within-the-show. There will be no shortage of fresh material. So many foodie trends to mangle. I don't think he even got around to sushi back then. Of course, I look forward to his hands-on battle with gluten.

Now when people ask me what is MetaFilter or why MetaFilter I have a definitive answer. This is MetaFilter. This is why MetaFilter.

OK, but the lobster one is going to be difficult, tho.

Yeah, especially if you arm live lobsters with guns.

Do you take off the rubber bands so they can use them authentically?

...Why did they decide to make the lobsters Mexican?

As a lifelong Swedish Chef fan I can say that the safer and preferred trajectory for the utensils is directly behind rather than straight up.

Lobsters can be done with puppets! Because puppets and video are the best thing on the internet.

I had a friend who was Swedish who liked the muppets, but did not understand why the Swedish Chef was called that. I was almost crying I was laughing so hard when I tried to explain it because she was really confused by the whole thing.

I have a lobster strategy! I'm really just not sure about where I'm going to find a very patient moose.

Just smart that he picked the Chef and not Gonzo!

Oh, my :-) I just fell down a rabbit hole and watched a half-hour of the Swedish Chef. It's amazing how many I have either forgotten or not seen!
And even the ones I had seen/remembered: I just spent a half hour with a pure, unadulterated grin on my face. Thank you!
