A sitcom intro. Remember Ken Delozier or you might have to watch the whole eleven minutes again. A Second iteration only realized after some names repeat but meanwhile Smarf? Parody for Alf? And after that actual cooks. Well not actual but actors dressed in chef uniforms. So now you realize it is some kind of joke unless you were watching it at four a.m. on October 28, 2014 when it first aired on adult swim cause you were probably high. A perv and a topless chick do not worry dear parents no actual nudity. Victoria Sun is so sexy. Polygamy or consenting adults? Smarf shoots rainbows WOW! Note in the first two photos you only see Ken Delozier before he sits down on the couch. The first time it is him off course but is it him the second time? Then the third iteration begins. Redundant isn't it? Katelyn Nacon reflects how I felt right about now. Bored. Going round the table like that seventies show. Too many mouths at the dining table to feed. The song is going to be stuck in my head forever. Too many cooks or too many actors. Ohh Noo the intro is spiralling out of control G.I. Cook. Seventies action. A castle, a falcon and now suddenly the plot to the intro thickens.A man goes about killing the actors DARK. Hilarious dark comedy the chase for Katie Adkins. Drop the title card dumass. Law and Order crime scene. So Smarf is our hero and I'm just listing things now Sci-Fi, abbreviations for cook and broth knight rider music. Is it me or does it feel like all the simpsons intros throughout the years is what we are looking at.It has become one of those things that people look for reasons to explain it and two theories are emerging. One Ken Delozier has intronitis for real and it is contagious. Two this is a battle between the creator, the one with the idea for a show and the network executive who only looks to make money. After having heard the second explanation I watched it again and it explained a lot to me and even a bit enjoyable otherwise I was like WTF the first time I watched it. However it may just look like dribble to some and that is okay too but clever or not I like this.

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 funMuch of the short movie "too many cooks" is obviously part of a easter egg that relates to other movies and games.

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!

A kaleidoscopic pop-culture send up, Too Many Cooks gets better each time you watch it. At first it appears to be a spot-on parody of a 1980s sitcom, then it slowly morphs into something that moves through TV tropes and genres until it becomes unsettling as a gleeful murderer (William Tokarsky) begins offing the cast. He continues to do so as the genres change - cop show, nighttime soap, action cartoon, space opera. It isn't until the end that we learn that he might have been doing the cast a favor.Watch it again. First, you will not be able to get the outstandingly cheesy theme song out of your head. Second, you will start noticing the killer showing up in weird places far earlier than what seemed to be his initial appearance. Plus, in subsequent viewings his murders become more and more funny.Arguments can be made about the meaning of the entire thing - does it have a plot? Is Tokarsky's murderer a hero or a generic 80s slasher set loose in an 80s sitcom? When will Smarf get his own show? Very few films get better the more often they are watched. This is genius. 10 stars.
