Egg Watchers isn’t just useful as an egg timer, but it’s damn cute in doing it. When you hit the site, you’re given the option of choosing the size of your egg — medium, large, or extra large — and whether or not the egg is fresh from the fridge or sitting at room temperature. It asks if you’d like the egg runny, squidgy, or firm, and gives the time needed to boil the egg properly. Then comes the part that makes it special.

I fully expected some cutesy timer to start after finalizing the setup; the landing page says “Powered by YouTube,” but I figured that meant it had a video of a timer or something. What I wasn’t expecting is that it was really more like egg timer theater than just a simple countdown timer.

I chose a large egg, fresh from the fridge, and wanted it boiled squidgy. The time given was 6 minutes 40 seconds — and this is the video I got:

The video is one of many seriously twisted, hilarious and awesome shorts made by YouTube user Takena. Mad Props to him.
