Do I comment on this FA action?
Was in C on a sUA 777 facing the galley. Food service was complete and FAs were eating their meals in the galley. From my seat, see one of the FAs chow down on his ice cream, then picks up the whipped cream can, tilts head, and does a an extended squirt of his whipped cream topping. Really unprofessional looking. Am I being a fuddy-duddy on this?

Definitely unprofessional. I really enjoy flying non-American carriers whenever possible as the crew are typically a bit more mature, professionally speaking. (some airlines are, of course, exceptions).
However, unless this FA was otherwise overly juvenile and unprofessional, or didn't provide the service you expected, I personally would opt to let it go.

If the curtain is drawn and the sundae service is over, I guess I really don't have a problem -- FAs are just people.
But the fact that you were able to see it from your seat is so disgusting.
I would not write UA, but I would have mentioned to the FA -- hopefully in a light-hearted way--that canned whip cream is not good for your health. Hopefully he would get the message.

What? United uses canned whipped cream on my sundae?
And I thought the F/As whipped it by hand in the galley. For shame!

I see it as harmless fun.
You should have protested and said, "Hey, how about some for me!"
