    Ignore all the comments and reviews-its funny

    There are a few negative and pointless reviews and comments on here about this video short. They are either by trolls or, people who, through no fault of their own, don't actually 'get it'. Its funny, well observed, accurate, ambitious and extremely well done. Every show that ever had titles, that existed or exists now, has been included in this expensive looking montage. Its a case of-'how long can this go on for? Its boring, it CANT go on anymore can it? and then it does and it becomes funnier as it goes along. The person responsible for this obviously did their homework and watched a LOT of TV over the past 30 years. That or, they trawled through hundreds of hours of tapes. The hard work was worth it!

    The best 11 minutes of TV ever.

    Too Many Cooks is pure genius.The review on the main page says it's worse than The Heart, She Hollers(sic)(which would still mean it's really good).That was clearly written by a fool with no sense of humor and no idea what comedy is all about.Probably a child who grew up on Barney and Teletubbies and now laughs at lame shows like Blackish and that dumb show with the janitor from Scrubs.If that fool had seen anything made before 1995 he would have gotten all the jokes and realized this is possibly the funniest thing ever made.I didn't bother to read any other reviews because life is too short.The plot summary basically explains the whole eleven minutes so there's no reason for me to get into it.Anyone who watched television in the 80s will love this.A definite must see.

    Best thing I've ever seen

    Everyone I show it to, became high after! I became a cook and so did my cohort.

    I'm so shocked Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim didn't have anything to do with this. There's no way to describe how amazing it was, I'll never forget it and God bless the Cooks!

    THIS FILM IS CURSED

    I now have small gritty particulates spread throughout all of my bodily tissues. Gritty particles that are singing. Poisoning my bones and eyeballs and tongue with too many cooks. I am lost to the cooks. There are too many. The singing particles are multiplying, my body is more cook than man.

    *edit* Today I awoke without too many cooks in my head. There is a small chance I will survive.

    If I could give it a zero, I would.

    This is easily the worst thing I've ever seen. It was worse than "The Heart, She Hollers" and that show is just terrible. It isn't even a show - it's just fifteen minutes of 80s/90s era opening credits which includes a creepy serial killer randomly lopping people's heads off with a machete. A has some off the wall programs like "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell", "Lucy, Daughter of the Devil", "Metalocalypse", "Superjail", "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", and "Squidbillies" which are all pretty bad in their own right, but at least they have an edge and some semblance of a plot that makes them work. But this "show" is just bad on bad.

    • Trivia
      The fast-moving end credits are the actual credits of the short. Slowed down, they reveal that each of the 67 actors that appear play characters with actual names. Only eight of the names are not variations on "Cook" and some of those are related synonyms, like "Bake," "Broil," and "Simmer."
