TIFU by seeing a plushie chef get his show cancelled.

r/

Today while scrolling TikTok I found out about how Nickelodeon cancelled a show called “Tiny Chef”. I had never heard of it previously but I saw how it got cancelled by Nickelodeon and nothing else.

Later, however, I begun getting official animations from the channel on YT shorts that they’ve been making showing the tiny chef himself finding out about the cancellation and other videos of him being sad about the cancellation.

I never thought seeing a fluffy tiny chef crying about his show getting cancelled would be a thing that would make me cry, but you somehow feel bad, so bad about it. Idk why but my god I’m wrecked.

Hopefully they either raise enough money from the fundraiser they’re doing or the fans petitioning for it to be uncancelled to Nickelodeon make it happen because it not I don’t think I can take seeing another vid of Cheffy being depressed

TLDR; I cried because I saw a video talking about the cancellation of a show I’d never watched and now I feel sad

    It seems like this has caused a lot of people to recently discover him, as I did about a week or so ago. I have never been so invested in the life of a tiny chef before.

    Hopefully they get something to keep him going.
    How Nickelodeon dropped him, I have no idea

    Don’t worry it’s been saved. It’s genuine a well made show,that deserves its praise.

    Man, seeing Tiny Chef cry over the cancellation broke my heart, anyone else signing the petition to bring this adorable lil guy back to Nickelodeon?

    Tiny Chef is so wholesome it breaks my heart to see him so sad. I hope his show gets saved (he seems to have raised enough to keep going online!). Everything will be blokay, he is very loved

    Seeing adorable little Cheffy cry was one of the saddest things. My heart could not take it. I just sat there for a minute staring at the screen, wanting to hug him.

    I had the same experience this week, and sent it to my sister because trauma shared is trauma halved (?). I’m just mad because I pay for Netflix and Paramount and the show was NEVER recommended to me before it got canceled so how was i supposed to know about it?!

    2021: The year we became emotionally attached to a plushie chef. What a rollercoaster!

    Not me getting emotionally invested in a plushie chef I met 3 scrolls ago 😭 Cheffy didn’t deserve this. Nickelodeon, you just lost a viewer you didn’t even have.

    Op, is it possible there is something else going on in your life that you are not dealing with? Asking for a friend.

    Have you watched the show since? It’s very soothing.

    I think they have made enough in donations to bring him back again

    I only found out about him this week too. The video with him laying in bed ordering more pizza and telling them to leave it at the door again. Relatable.

    Why is this a fuck up

    OMG he’s so much cuter than I had expected 😭

    I knew about Tiny Chef before he was cancelled but the cancellation video broke my heart. I donated and subscribed for the first time because that show is the kind of simple joy we need in the world.

    I lost it when Tiny Chef lost it. Also if you want to smile at Tiny Chef check out his dance video to Bad Guy by Billie Elish it’s my favorite and cracks me up every time

    Well, lucky for you, Chef has the show back!

    Damn it’s like everyone has Internet Explorer here. I think a few days ago they confirmed it was back on due to successful crowdfunding. Detach your feelings from products.

    Unpopular opinion, I don’t think it belongs as a kids show, simply because it’s absolutely horrible for language development. It’s adorable and I loved it but it’s not great for phonetics at all.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure they’ve already announced due to a fundraising campaign they’re able to keep tiny chef going on social media at least though not on Nickelodeon anymore because it’s still been canceled.

    I don’t think you understand this sub or are trying to get views for that TikTok

    The absolute genius of this animation is that they saw the cancellation coming, made this animation (stop motion takes TIME to make), and had it ready to devastate the internet the moment they were actually cancelled

    This animation may well save them

    It’s called empathy, and if more people had it, the world would be fucked.

    Nothing wrong with having a little empathy.

    I’ve started getting his videos come up on YouTube and I just love him! I love all the little ones of him singing to himself 😭

    Watching him try to go back to what he was doing after the phone call then just breaking down made me feel so bad

  31. Ryul21 Avatar

    Its confirmed they got enough crowdfunding Money to continue in some way so rejoice for tiny Chef!!!

    You’re not alone. I’d never heard of Tiny Chef either, but those sad little videos hit like a truck. It’s weird how fast we grow attached to something so pure.

  33. ColinHalter Avatar

    Man, I remember the emotional roller coaster when he was first pitching the show. He would post very upsetting videos of himself getting devastated when other networks turned him down, and then an over-the-top excited one when Netflix said yes.

    Didn’t they say it wasn’t gonna be cancelled like two days ago?

    I love the Tiny Chef shorts. I was never too into the show as it’s a bit too kiddish for my taste ( which totally makes sense as it’s FOR kids) but the shorts are awesome. That one short however, hit me hard. Talk about some genius marketing, let’s see if it pans out for them.

    Dang I remember when the Tiny Chef first announced that they’re going to have a show

    I’d heard of him but never watched. Now I watch anytime it comes up. That video of him getting the call of the cancel and trying to go back to what he was doing and just start sobbing killed me.
