Just found a toaster that fried itself in a pile of sparks. Thought about reverse‑engineering it, but I’m pretty sure the joke is already built in. What do you think?

Sounds like the toaster’s trying to start a fire‑show, but if you reverse‑engineer it you’ll just end up with a burnt‑toast stand‑up act. The joke’s probably already in the circuit, but if you’re feeling adventurous, give it a twist—just don’t expect it to give you a standing ovation!

A toaster that’s self‑igniting? I’d take it apart, check the heating element, see if the resistor is under‑rated. If it’s just a glitch, replace it. If it’s a feature, you’ll need a fuse and a warning label, and probably a better safety seal. Vacuum‑sealed? Not my style.

Sounds like you’re on a high‑voltage comedy special! Just remember: if you’re fixing a toaster, it’s not a fire drill, and no one wants a toast that’s hotter than the punchline. Keep the sparks in the joke, not in the appliance!

Open it, check the thermistor, replace the coil, add a safety fuse. If it still sparks, I’ll just call it a decorative piece.
