A cheese commercial is getting its own discussion beneath Nigel Ng's instant-ramen roast. One viewer describes looking it up and disappearing into a rabbit hole of Japanese commercials, a surprisingly specific side trip from a packet of noodles.

“I Found The Worst Instant Ramen Video On The Internet” has picked up roughly 69,000 views in a day, nearly six times its usual daily pace. Posted in September, it is approaching two million views even while the mrnigelng channel's overall daily viewing runs below its usual level.

Ng's Uncle Roger character made his name scrutinizing egg fried rice, but instant noodles offer another opportunity to question how complicated a simple meal can become. Alongside the commercial discussion, commenters debate cooking ragebait and single out a joke that turns saving time into having more time to be alone.

Noodles have remained on Ng's menu since this upload, including “peanut butter in instant noodles???”. His October video, “Uncle Roger Approved Thai Green Curry,” offers the contrasting verdict: Uncle Roger can approve of dinner, too.
