Maddox Takes on Incompetent Lifehacks

By Rain Noe - June 26, 2014

The easiest thing in the world is to be a critic on the internet. But the hardest is to be an internet critic who's funny. Internet personality Maddox, who first cracked me up with his brutally honest criticisms of children's drawings in the early days of the internet, is one of the few who's got the harder category locked down.

While the children's drawing series sparked painful memories in anyone who's sat through a design school crit (and has since been turned into a book), Maddox takes on far broader targets with his "The Best Show in the Universe" YouTube program. This week's topic: Pushed over the edge by inane living tips, Maddox takes on the recent glut of lifehacks that no one asked for. (Be warned: The language is NSFW!)

This is great.

Also I just put the ketchup right onto the paper placemat. Unfolding the cup does allow for more ketchup though. Who the fuck dips a burger?

The ketchup container thing I've been doing for years when I go to In-n-Out but never had the need to make a youtube video about it. The main reason I started doing it was I like ketchup on my fries and with the container only being an inch tall it did not maximize the level of ketchup I like on my fries. With the container flatten I can 'roll' the fry in ketchup getting ketchup over most of the fry compared to just the end of the fry. Also with the container flatten it supports about three pumps from the ketchup dispenser compared to the one pump when the container is in original form. So I can use one container instead of three for the same amount of ketchup.
