There are many hidden messages and easter eggs i have encountered when watching this amazing piece of art many of which are parodies and memes of other movies, for instance when fuzzy (the fury animal) was playing the piano. This looked quite normal the first time around when watching it, but then the 6-7 time watching it you begin to realize there is a deeper meaning, a easter egg! This scene is in fact referring to a game called "Paul Of Duty" number 6 "Sack Ops 2" in a dlc map pack called Buried, deep underground buried in a western town. In the game we see a ghost playing the piano just as fuzzy did in "too many cooks"!
There are many other easter eggs as well, such as when fuzzy shoots rainbows from his hands. At first you may think it is just an ordinary scene, but as you get into the deeper many we realize this is actually miming a movie called "Harry Potter". Just as harry (the wizard in Harry Potter) can do spells and has an owl who delivers his mail the owls name is whodini the character fuzzy can perform a magic that includes love. Harry potters mom loved him very much and used love to shield him from Voldimorts spells, just how fuzzy used love to create the rainbow! But what really is love? Is it in the sky? "No its a feeling deep inside" dang I'm hungry, no your lonely, i can see it in your eyes.
Also kahoots is very fun
Much of the short movie "too many cooks" is obviously part of a easter egg that relates to other movies and games.

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.

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!
I heard this was an interesting short that was on adult swim that I should watch. I'm glad it wasn't spoiled for me. It's aided a lot by not knowing what's coming. A must watch if it wasn't spoiled for you and a highly recommend if it was.

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!

- TriviaThe 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."
