# Stop Motion Cooking Western Spaghetti by Pes By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-08-16 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stop-motion-cooking-western-spaghetti-by-pes References: [malibuisburning](http://malibuisburning.com/2008/07/inedible-food-for-thought/) & [eatpes](http://www.eatpes.com/) Pes' stop action videos are all incredible, but [Western Spaghetti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-microsd-cards) takes creativity to a whole new level. The video blends the simple act of cooking spaghetti with childhood toys, candy and other immediately recognizable symbols of Western childhood. Look closely as everything from garlic to basil, boiling water and butter are faithfully represented by icons like a Rubik's cube, dollar bills, bubble wrap and Post-It notes. The gallery contains some of the images and clothing from EatPes.com. Pes has done commercials for Sprint, Coinstar, Bacardi, [PSP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crisis-core-reunion), and [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-football-x-lego). There are five other short films on the site, eight mini-shorts dubbed Short Shorts, nearly a dozen commercials, a couple of loops and the online store. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stop Motion Cooking Videos:** Stop motion cooking videos are becoming increasingly popular as a unique and creative means of engaging audiences. - **Iconic Food Representations:** Stop motion cooking videos provide an opportunity to represent food through iconic objects, providing a new perspective on cooking. - **Integration of Childhood Nostalgia:** The integration of childhood nostalgia into stop motion cooking videos provides a unique way to engage audiences and foster emotional connections. ### Where This Applies - **Food Industry:** The food industry can leverage stop motion cooking videos to showcase their products and create playful and engaging content for audiences. - **Advertising Industry:** The advertising industry can utilize stop motion cooking videos to create memorable and unique campaigns that stand out in a crowded market. - **Film and Media Industry:** The film and media industry can utilize stop motion cooking videos as a means of showcasing creative and innovative content that appeals to broad audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Film-Inspired Cooking Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-with-pixar-series.md) - [Haunting Pasta Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creepypasta.md) - [Villainous Pizza Crust Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-massacre-by-kfc.md) - [Catchy Basked Pasta Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noodles-cos-chicken-parmesan.md) - [Character-Inspired Pasta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canned-pasta.md) - [Film-Themed Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrounging-cookbook.md) - [Pizza-Themed Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucha-little.md) - [Intricate Pasta Tutorial Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasta-masterclass.md) - [60-Second Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timewise.md)
