Tasty is a division of BuzzFeed that makes popular videos for social media in the exact same style as the video in the OP - overhead shots of a pair of hands making delicious recipes. If you’re on Facebook, at least, you’ve probably see one once a week or so. They are very popular and, if I do say so myself, mesmerizing.

The video in the OP is a lampoon of Tasty videos, shot in exactly the same style but with clever alternate descriptions of the ingredients such as “sad apples” for onions and “potato lotion” for sour cream.

It’s pretty funny in its own right, and that much more funny if you’ve ever seen a Tasty video. The ingredient names are very clever!

Band name! (Ok, maybe not a great one.)

To me, the results seem closer to automatic screen captioning or language translation. In spirit, if not in methodology.
