Top Chef is a PSA created by the Canadian insurance company, WSIB, in 2007. It has been infamous for scaring numerous amounts of people, including The Nostalgia Critic in his "Conquest of Commercials" video. The worst part? This commercial aired during not only primetime hours, but during shows aimed at children[1].

Plot[]

The advert featured a young sous chef at an upscale restaurant, talking about her plans to become head chef and her upcoming wedding, before explaining that, because of a grease puddle that hasn't been cleaned up earlier, she is going to have a "terrible accident," after which she grabs a vat of boiling water, slips, and spills the liquid all over her face. This causes her to let out a loud piercing screech that makes horror films look more bearable, and as a co-worker yells for help, we're treated to a split-second shot of her skin boiling, and then the picture cuts to black as her co-worker continues to call for help.

Mature content warning

  1. *No joke, this was probably shown at children's television. What were they thinking? This advert contains extremely disturbing content, and they shown this at children's television? Why did they even decide to air this? They probably knew that it would scare many kids!
