If you didn't already know, we live in a world of Taobao, Shopee, and Lazada, where we are captivated by videos of random Chinese housewives demonstrating peculiar home devices
You see these videos on Douyin, TikTok, and Instagram Reels from time to time. Heck, they even rack up millions of views on YouTube.
It's a genre of Internet videos that typically feature a Chinese-national woman using an absurd amount of relatively cheap devices to tidy up the home and prepare a meal.
We didn't ask for these oddly satisfying 'cleaning genre' videos, but we are here for more now.
Catching on the trend is a liquid handwash brand, BioMedico Malaysia, which recently uploaded an almost two-minute godsend for our entertainment
"Bila suami T20 otw balik rumah (When your T20 husband is on the way back home)," captioned the video with over 1.6 million views on TikTok.
The TikTok begins with a supposed housewife taking out a frozen chicken from the freezer and putting it in a microwave.
The video then takes a strange turn, offering a parody we didn't know could exist.
Shortly after the chicken is put into the microwave, it mysteriously turns into a fully-cooked rendang.
Next, the woman sprinkles some sesame seeds in a pot, seemingly wanting to lightly toast it
The woman then turns on the lights on the kitchen hood, and the seeds 'sprout' into neatly-cut watermelon slices. Yes, photosynthesis.
Following that, the woman washes her hands with BioMedico Malaysia, a product placement in a blink-and-you-miss-it scene, before whipping out a hairdryer to blow dry dishes on a rack. #dead
The video continues by showing the woman using a calculator to open a curtain and a wardrobe, among other things.
It ends with the woman 'harvesting' RM50 notes that have bloomed from a plant.
The video has received over 120,000 likes and 2,000 comments
Many netizens were in stitches after watching the parody video.
"Definitely imitating the Chinese (videos), where the husband and mother-in-law are halfway walking into the house, but the housewife is able to complete the chore (before they enter)," a TikTok user commented.
"The wardrobe can be closed using a calculator," added another with laughing emojis.
Others asked where can they buy the 'money tree'.
