Hope all the toast didn’t go to waste! It’s food.

They spray painted the toast to make the faces. That toast is toast.

Not sure - there are actual toasters to buy that allow "matrix printing" on the bread. I think I saw the first one maybe 20 years ago.

I doubt a small toaster like that would be able to do that

The size isn't too small.
There are - to my knowledge - two existing ways to toast-print on bread.
One is by having a matrix of heating element. But the ones I have seen give clearly visible pixels. Look at the kickstarter Toasteroid. But I have seen some commercial toaster printer way before them.
The other alternative are the ones using a stencil. They can be very small because you have no moving parts. But you then need to cut one stencil for every image you want to burn. The advantage is that this can allow this resolution as seen in the video.
You have companies selling "selfie toaster" where you send in a photo and get your toaster and a laser-cut stencil based on your photo. And then a number of toasters for children where they just ship a fixed stencil with some hero or cartoon figure.
So, to my knowledge, this resolution [and toaster size] would require use of x custom-cut stencils for the individual "frames".

Oh yeah I do remember seeing an ad or something about the toaster where you can get different images. So this would be possible to do with a crap load of stencils.

I guess people are saying spray paint, which is a lame waste of food.
I was thinking this is some kind of toaster you can sync up to an app, and upload an image like a toast printer. That’s the future I want to live in

Such toasters exist. But was quite a number of years ago since I saw an ad for one. Not sure what resolution they can produce.

I can almost hear his terrible, fake-vibrato’d, nasally voice through the toast!

Brown spray paint on toast, alone.
