Ellen Has Questions About '5-Minute Crafts'

Are you excited for the holidays, everybody?

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Have you picked out a tree?

Yes!

Yeah?

Most of you have?

It's a lot of work.

You have to go early while they still have good ones,

because that's--

you know, there's very little left,

or just a branch or something.

[LAUGHTER]

Then you have to figure out how to get it on top of your car.

And this year, what I did--

something different, I saved time--

I put it in the backseat, and then let the top

hang out of the window.

And I mean, there were needles everywhere,

and then the seats were all sticky from the sap.

But that is-- that's the Uber driver's problem now.

[LAUGHTER]

The holidays are a busy time of year,

especially if you're one of those crafty people.

We have someone who works here, who loves crafts.

Her name is Betsy, and she's like the Martha

Stewart of Santa Clarita, is what she is.

She makes her own peanut brittle,

which we get every year.

Thank you for my peanut brittle, Betsy.

And pancake mix, and canned fruit,

and she says they're better because they're made with love.

Aw.

And-- yeah.

Love is what Betsy calls marijuana.

[LAUGHTER]

People love that do it yourself stuff.

You can always spot the do it yourselfers.

They're the ones with the diagonal bangs.

[LAUGHTER]

Turns out-- you've seen them.

[LAUGHTER]

Third most popular channel on YouTube

is something called Five Minute Crafts.

Has anybody seen that?

Yes!

It's the third most popular.

I would assume you have.

I thought we could watch one of their videos

together and see what it's all about.

This one was posted earlier in the year,

and it has almost four million views.

So you think it's good, right, four million views.

Here's some of the first part.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

OK, so fresh eggs sink and the old ones float.

Four million views that has.

[LAUGHTER]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, I am working too hard.

[LAUGHTER]

Here's what comes next.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHTER]

Now the egg is bigger than before.

But you have to wait one day to get it.

So it's possibly a five minute craft, not a one day craft.

[LAUGHTER]

I've been lied to.

I have a feeling these videos were

made with some of Betsy's love, is what I think.

[LAUGHTER]

I know you're all on the edge of your seat,

so here's how it ends.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHTER]

Just getting into that music, man.

Now the egg is bigger, and it's blue,

and it only takes two days off of your life.

I've never been to a rave, but, after watching the videos,

I get it.

I do.

[LAUGHTER]

I'm not sure what the point is, but millions of people

want to watch eggs that are different colors.

Then you're going to want to watch

my show I produced for Netflix.

It's called "Green Eggs and Ham."

It's streaming now on Netflix.

And now here's someone who's at the top of his craft.

This is tWitch, everybody.
