You're referring to the classic internet meme "Eel Soup"!

For those who may not know, "Eel Soup" is a humorous video that gained popularity online, particularly on social media and video sharing platforms. The original video features a person attempting to make eel soup, with... let's just say, "mixed" results.

The video shows a person, allegedly of Asian descent, in a kitchen, attempting to prepare eel soup. The person is shown handling eels in a rather... aggressive manner, before proceeding to chop them up and add them to a pot of water. The "soup" quickly becomes a chaotic mess, with eels slithering out of the pot and the person struggling to contain them.

Person: (exasperated) Why won't you just cooperate?!

Person: (laughing) Okay, okay. Let's try this again.
