I like how he was provided with all the resources on hand to make a softboiled egg, right down to a set of ceramic egg cups, but still everyone was bewildered that he made the egg. Like clearly they were prepared for the eventuality that an egg would be cooked, but they just never expected him to call their bluff.
To be fair, egg whites are a common ingredient in many cocktail recipes so that’s probably why the eggs are there. Doesn’t explain the egg cups though.
@@handsoaphandsoap Yeah, them having eggs on set isn't all that strange by itself; but having the cups that are fairly explicitly for serving boiled eggs on set...
if i were a judge I would feel so flattered honestly. he didn't have to do that but he did. he boiled me a whole unnecessary egg. im so hungry rn I'd cry tears
When you think about it, the vast majority of eggs eaten are unnecessary eggs. I've personally eaten a dozen unnecessary eggs in a row. And it was wonderful.
You know, he's not wrong. Almost all situations can be made better with a nice soft-boiled egg. Everyone is asking "why egg?", but the real question is "why _not_ egg?"
When he said he didn't have a timer and was just gonna vibe the hard boiled egg, I gasped. This is a show about cocktails and suddenly we have to get invested in whether these eggs are gonna turn out?! Brilliant
Love you Joel but STRONGLY disagree that the egg shouldn't advance you in the competition. He boiled an egg on INSTINCT (shows culinary skill) and WITH CARE (didn't want judges to feel sad without an egg bc brunch.) Sometimes it's about skill and sometimes it's about character and he had both, plus also an egg.
I'd argue that he's right - he was clearly trying to create an atmosphere with his dish. It's a cocktail you'd get at brunch. Cocktails are drinks - they're supposed to pair up with something else. The egg helps create a good atmosphere.
If I was a judge on this show I would praise the egg so much I would try so hard to get the other judges to eat their eggs I would eat my whole egg and then I'd turn to the judge next to me and ask "you gonna finish that egg?" and then when we're telling the contestants how they did I'd tell him "that egg was delicious you did a great job" and not even acknowledge the drink
He went through cuz this is a reality show and the guy that made eggs is more entertaining to the viewers than the guy we aren't talking about. Lloyd knew exactly what he was doing.
@@mareeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Whatever it was, it wasn't nearly as interesting as 'egg'. That's the kicker, right? It's not just about which dish is better, it's about which contestant is more entertaining and engaging to watch. And nothing is more entertaining than a random freaking generic egg out of nowhere! Sure, it's a gamble. But you're going to get kicked off anyways, probably. So fuck it! Why not egg?! Maybe they'll like it or find it interesting enough to save you. Who knows, right?
a boiled egg. considered the most basic item in cooking. but on a tv competition broadcasted to millions? it's so ridiculously uncreative that it loops back around to being genuinely innovative. I'm convinced that this man is the DICTIONARY definition of 'gigachad'.
@@_.violyse._ I agree, but I think it's also creative for another reason. One of the most important things about a drink is the food you pair it with. This will effect the entire taste of the drink. Coffee for example does not taste the same after having eggs and bacon as before. That's why certain cocktails are had only for brunch, like bloody marries. So, its ridiculous in my mind to say it was an unnecessary addition. It is the most necessary thing imaginable. To say it's not makes the whole show a farce in my mind.
Horse Sized Big Joel. All I gotta do is get them bleeding and they are done for. They might get me in the process, but I'll have a pyric victory at least and potentially a troll victory where I do nothing but run around and let him bleed out
If you can't defeat capitalism with one big Joel, the natural evolution is to split it into millions of fruit fly sized Joels that will fly around capitalism's face and food constantly until it slaps itself in the face hopelessly trying to crush them one by one
@@idontwantahandlethough that's a risky proposition, we could end up in the position of Achilles with the Joel-tortoise, that keeps posting a new shorter video while we finish watching the previous one, stuck in a never ending marathon of progressively smaller Joels
i think the egg is fun. if i was one of the judges i would be overjoyed. "wow u even made us an egg thats so sweet and unexpected!" i would say. i love a soft boiled egg and even if its a little tangential to the task at hand, i would be blown away if i was served that. i might cry a tear of joy for how strangely thoughtful it was. blessed are they who bless lloyd.
I have to say that I share the opinion of lesser size Joel. Presenting them an egg with the beverage is weird and I struggle to comprehend why the participant did that.
He just wanted to go above and beyond. He though what goes with a cocktail? cocktail his good during brunch and what dish is quick and easy to maake ? Egg!
@@littlestjoel As someone who has boiled an egg before, I believe your original estimate of 2 minutes is probably relatively accurate for a professional egg cooker with years of experience.
This is the second reference to 6 minute egg I've seen in the last hour and I need to know, is that into a cold pot or in at a boil and left on the heat or taken off? I want delicious eggs.
I just binged that show the other night, and it is a very absurd (in a good way imo) show. The time limits were ridiculous, you don't need 20 or 30 or 45 minutes to prep a cocktail. If you give the contestants 45 minutes, they'll do all sorts of crazy shit just to fill the time, especially Lloyd. The egg was far from the weirdest thing he did all season, it was just one of the least successful. Some of the weird ideas were really neat. Slightly off topic, as a reality tv nerd, it's always adorable when editors don't know how to/don't try to hide a winner. I literally had the winner and the runner up called from like ten minutes in. Biggest surprise was how deep a run Kate made, like half of the episodes before her boot felt like they were obviously setting it up for her to go. Definitely hope they make another season
@@lx4079 The narrative: -Who they show failures of the most -What words are repeated (Flashback to "Wow u peepee poopoo head!" every episode) -Sad Music etc.
"unnecessary" he was making you an atmosphere people!!! He was setting the scene!! Do you know how important atmosphere is to your enjoyment of food or drink? The man's desperation led him to the right answer!!
So much energy and passion.. including editing and getting clips! This isn’t a Live rant. Honestly I might watch this show since it inspired this much a response. I love eggs
Little Joel videos has very quickly turned into one of those channels where I click on the notification before I've even finished reading the title please tell me about the egg drink
I love this show so much. It’s the only competition show I’ve ever seen where the contestants seem to actually like eachother. They have little inside jokes, share their ingredients. It’s fucking lovely
The funniest part is that on a reality show about making cocktails, they had eggs and the equipment necessary to soft-boil them ready to go for some reason.
POV someone is telling you about the most perplexing mystery in the show they’ve been into recently, while your favorite band (playing live) is failing to outcompete them for your attention.
"We have to have the judges tell us what the food tastes like. The thing is, we know what that egg tastes like" 😂😂 why does this feel like such a revelation.
Little Joel is serving “tenured professor of media analysis at upstairs liberal arts college” energy. Either that or a scientist who is about to time travel back to the future.

Just flex on every single challenge by completing the challenge and including a free bonus egg.

Thank you Joel.

WHAT ELSE?

side egg: unnecessary
He really went "Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?"
loving the way lloyd pronounces “ard boilt hegg” truly the icing on it all
I feel like Big Joel is the type of guy who would try to talk someone down from the ledge but Little Joel would push them
What if it was a sick ass egg and the judges were just bitches about it tho
Joel is so much more deranged on this channel I love the energy we’ve created in the studio today
The egg plays! The judges may mock it, but they shall not block it. The egg plays.

I think the reason I love this egg so much is a little bit complicated.
Well, for this for us to understand we have to know what does it mean “egg”? Or what does it mean “complicated”? Or what does it mean “love”? Or wha…
I completely agree Little Joel. Serving an egg with a cocktail is strange and I don't understand why he would do that.

And yet, it does have a certain brunchly quality to it, doesn’t it?

This is one of my top three egg related little Joel videos of all time
I think it's funny because it feels like such a sweet but completely misguided decision. It's baffling and a little delightful.
Joel it takes 6 full minutes to soft boil an egg. He spent 33% of his remaining time boiling eggs, and however much longer getting the water to temp.
yes but how often did he need to actively attend to the eggs. that's the question, and it haunts me I'll never know the answer

- Me while I'm being judged for my ability to make a drink -
"How about an egg in these trying times?"

how topical that youtube recommends me this video after I've made some boiled eggs
"Excuse me bartender, where is my *delicious egg?* "
often my dinner
I fucking love these, keep em comin
So now Joel does a video reacting to a cooking reality show. Yet more evidence that Joel and We're in Hell are the same person.
the egg truly jokerfied little joel
These judges obviously don't know what they're talking about. Eating an egg completely changes the cocktail experience
"The egg was too much. Frankly we're disappointed in you. Anyway, you get to go to the next round."
Many cocktails are meant to be balanced with a protein, including with the use of raw egg whites (see a whiskey sour and its descendents), but for various reasons this might not be ideal to do in a Cocktail competition show, so i think the boiled eggs were meant to be a slightly quirky way to handle that, and the editing of the show just leaned into it as an absurd choice.
What cocktail could possibly be complimented by the flavor of egg?
Also, the energy in this video is goddamn out of control.
Local man yells at egg
The egg represents the death of brunch
that's how big Joel decided to leave only a mustache and started a channel "we're in hell"
Lloyd going thru to the next round was the twist of the lifetime I was not expecting
Is this the cocktail version of people in cooking shows feeling compelled to make side ice cream for dessert challenges?
I personally think the genius of the egg, as others have said, is that it not only shows the thoughtfulness of the contestant (making the judges the expected drink AND brunch), but also, like, you can easily softboil an egg while making a cocktail. It's probably the only brunch he could have made that would not have detracted from brewing the cocktail at all; it's just a matter of boiling water and waiting. Why not boil an egg?
