People applying cooling paste to their CPUs wrong. Usually you just apply a single small drop on top of your CPU, and the pressure of the cooler settling down on the CPU will distribute it evenly. Since cooler and CPU will sit very closely together, you really only need a little bit to fill in any tiny gaps that might occur. That dude is using way too much, so 90% of all that stuff is gonna squirt out when he installs the cooler, assuming the extra mass won't crack or bend the CPU (locking the cooler in place usually requires a slightly scary amount of force). Also, getting all his finger grease up in there probably isn't going to be much help for cooling either. The other gif just has the paste installed in the wrong place, it goes on top of the CPU and not between it and its socket.

you get all that and somehow miss the first gif is applying Hellman's Mayonnaise

Adding thermal paste to a processor cooler for improved thermal conduction.

The first animated image shows paste added to the processor socket instead of the top of the processor.

The second image shows WAY too much paste being added, to the point where it's likely going to be insulating instead of conducting. The purpose of the paste is to fill out microscopic imperfections in the top of the CPU and/or bottom of the cooler so you just need a super thin layer, usually a drop about 1/10" in size is enough.

It was in there site or something as an instructional video.

Puts a smile on my face anytime it comes up just wondering how many people tried to apply compound like that.

That's so terrible I assumed it had to be fake.

The credit card method is legit (I use a razor blade instead), but the video is still using far too much compound, and then ... hell is being used to spread, a business card? It's far too flexible. Oh that just hurts.

Its definitely floppy and has graphics on the back, so I'd guess its just some cardboard infothing from that motherboard box that shows like jumper configs or back panel layout or something.
