Oats Studios: Cooking with Bill (2017)
Season 1, Episode 3
6/10
How does no one understand??SPOILERS
10 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I get that at face value each of the infomercials looks like just another version but increasingly more gross, but if you take a second to actually break down what you are watching it becomes a totally different experience. Each infomercial is a jab at society and how little we care in the face of profit. First, was the chainsaw that was clearly dangerous and yet they were still selling it after what happened. Second, was a jab at meat industry and how it looks pretty when we eat it, but most couldn't watch the slaughter happen face to face or dare to face the smell of death. The third was about how plastic can be found in many products and yet it is still sold to the consumer. I won't spoil the last one, but I don't understand how everyone just looked past the messages being sent by each iteration. I went into watching this show with a "Black Mirror" mentality so right away I started picking up on what they were trying to say. I wouldn't say it is done beautifully, but it is definitely not 3/10.
