There is a series of cooking videos out there on Youtube that stars this guy whose apartment is a complete and utter garbage dump and at one point he manages to catch his stove on fire while trying to cook a hotdog or something similar. Do any of you know what I'm talking about?

I read the title wrong and thought this topic was about a guy who came home to find his apartment on fire, and decided to roast a hot dog while he watched.

"Put the lid on it! No, why are you carrying it around?!? IT'S A GREASE FIRE!!! PUT THE LID ON IT!!!"

"Turn off the heat! Put water on it! What? Juice?!? What the gently caress? Well I guess that worked."
"He's... what? Is he... is he cooking a piece of meat with toilet paper on the edge of the shitter?"

"No! You moron! Of course it's going to drip grease and start a fire! You're... salt?!?

Oh my God, use a PAN you asshat! What the gently caress are those sounds, is Kermit holding the camera?"

"YOU'VE HAD A SPRAY BOTTLE THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!"

That is one of the filthiest apartments I've ever seen. You never get the full picture, it's like some "found footage" apartment-cleaning horror movie.

Did he seriously wash his "sausage" with soap? Man, that video is hilarious, I was laughing hysterically the entire way through. There should be an entire section of youtube videos just for insane people who expose their craziness to the internet.

I feel like I might be mis-remembering this, but I swear I watched one of these Masaokis videos where he goes into his terrible apartment's basement, and shows the ramshackle "repairs" he's made, which include a bag of cement poured onto a leaky pipe and random milk crates and blocks of wood holding up the rotting floor under his awful bathroom.

Am I making this up? I haven't been able to find this episode again.

He put food on the edge of his toilet, and his bathroom looked like a trucker bathroom. What the gently caress can we make fun of if we can't make fun of that?

Just so you guys know, Masao (the guy in the videos) no longer lives in that house, he now lives in a much safer environment.

Still can't cook for poo poo, though.

I find these videos enchanting. One of our SA users was his documentarian (Parthenocarpy). He had great difficulty getting a hold of him to find out if things were better for him, which I think he did confirm.

His health has kind of declined, he has some problem with the cerebellum or something that makes him lose his balance pretty easily. But he's been drinking less, it seems like.

It's a beautiful discovery. I hope the GBS thread is still hanging around not archived yet. This is one crazy diamond that should be observed and appreciated. He just goes along living life and cooking masterpieces like it aint no thing. He's soothing to listen to, blissfully unaware of his surroundings and talking about philosophy, hobos, and politics.

That's not actually it - he says that the really bad apartment is his, and the mess is all because of him. The other, much cleaner place is his sister's.

In this video he decides he wants to make Rice Krispie squares but he doesn't have marshmallow cream "but you can always substitute stuff for other stuff" so he makes it out of Duncan Hines cake frosting and Dannon yogurt. He also cooks baconm and deduces that it must just be slices of pig dicks, because look at the shape.

I tried to figure out exactly why I find these so entertaining. It seems like it should feel cruel, because who's entertained by someone else's mishaps? But I'm not laughing. I laugh sometimes but most of the time I'm just shocked and confused. It's like I'm just standing in awe of his thoroughly alien perspective on ordinary household tasks.

I think it's because he's so charming and unintentionally witty throughout. If it was some guy with a dull monotone who didn't understand the concept of humor, it would still be interesting but much less so.

I knew someone in college who probably had a similar mental disorder (Masaokis has said that he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder or something like that), and he was much the same, in a less extreme way: a continually colorful way of describing things, noticeable paranoia, an anthropomorphic/semi-spiritual approach to everything - Masaokis worries every winter that the trees will never regrow their leaves, this guy thought the world might literally end once when he was extremely depressed - and a bizarre blend of intelligence and pure incompetence. And like him, he was charming in his way and very popular despite his craziness.

I archived the videos, and am happy to answer any questions about the series. GWS had a thread about it once, everyone there hated the videos and the thread died. GBS had two long threads dedicated to it that you can find easily with an archives account. Pretty much anything else you'd want to know I've already covered in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkxIkWDy2UM and I find it funny to look back and see the "hot goon spotted" comments; I'm 30bs lighter in that video than I am today

Can you link me to the "Best of" type video of him that was made ? It had some opening introduction text maybe from you saying poo poo like "A cook that rejects the current fascist food system".

My brother sent me some links to some how-to YouTube channel that is a complete rip off of the Masaokis videos. They're still pretty funny though.
