The Google doodle today (11/26/2025)

Does anyone know what or who the little moving figure is? I’m not familiar with it. And do the buttons in the design mean something in connection?

I clicked on the doodle and it immediately took me to AI planning for Thxgiving. Wut!

“Getting Ready For Thanksgiving with Tiny Chef”

Apparently a google scheme to make users click on an AI thing. Ugh.

OMG. We love Tiny Chef at our house. They are a tiny vegetarian chef who lives in a tree stump and loves the Golden Girls. We’ve been watching for many years before the Nickelodeon cancellation; I knew there was a big announcement, but I didn’t realize it was going to be the Google Doodle. Not all AI is evil.

Bwavo Tiny Chef!

A fun episode.

And the big reveal.

So it’s a kids’ show? No wonder I’d never heard of it before. Bet our parent friends know it, but it still doesn’t explain why clicking on it takes one to an AI site planning a theoretical Thxgiving dinner :thinking:

If you linger your cursor over the doodle, it shows you what it is without clicking.

No, it’s not exclusively a kids show. It’s the kind of show that anyone could watch for a shot of optimism and fun. Fans of stop-motion animation, as I am, would appreciate this +/-kids. Kristen Bell was a regular contributor/fan.

Thx for enlightening me. As a non-parent who doesn’t spend much time around kids of a certain age, pretty much anything on Nickelodeon wouldn’t be on my radar.

Sounds like a fun show!

Are we the only ones who were taken to the stupid AI site after clicking it?

Always happy TTOFTT :upside_down_face:

Ah! Now I see!! I knew it must have something to do with cooking because of the little chef hat, but I had no idea that whole little world existed. So charming. And stop motion is so cool. (Gumby!) I GiveThanks to all who enlightened me today.

I saw that too–I thought it odd. That’s when I came here to post my question.

Tiny Chef is cute, but that baby talk grates on me after just a few minutes.

Can’t blame that adorbz Tiny Chef for that. Same thing happens today when you click on the doodle :roll_eyes:

I seem to recall a time when the doodle did some fun things. If all it does is take you to their f’n AI nonsense I won’t be clicking it again.
