Too Many Cooks | Adult Swim

This is what happens when you hire everyone at the audition

Well, that escalated slowly

Whoever decided to make the pie be played by Lars Von Trier deserves a raise

both will dove and his superhero version falling over because the killer got him mid-transformation was honestly a pretty good joke

This is how actual dreams feel

I’m convinced that everytime you watch this, a new character is added

What's interesting to me, is that Katelyn Nacon played in this skit. She is perhaps best known for her role as Enid from The Walking Dead. A show, which in my very humble opinion, suffered from the same issues of which this skit is named after.

5:30 I still like how they didn't have some "goofy" moment where she realises too late that her name is glowing, so for her this moment must have been even more terrifying, since she had no way of knowing how he found her

When you die you become a character in Too Many Cooks

Remember when adultswim had that “we’re going to redefine horror with ten minute skits” phase

Best part is now you can actually pause and go frame by frame in the credits to see what everyone's character name was.

I love how it almost looks like it's about to have a plot and then it just doesn't

Everytime I watch this I feel like an entirely new scene gets put in help

Back in 2014 I had just started my first job and had to be up every morning at 5 for work. I usually watched Malcom in the Middle, but for some reason one morning the commercial break was exceptionally long. I thought maybe some new show was airing, so i figured I’d stick it out until I had to get ready for work. The next 11 minutes of my life were transcendent. That was the first time I ever saw Too Many Cooks, and to this day I still chase the thrill of experiencing Too Many Cooks for the first time. This is pure art.

0:00-1:00 season 1: your standard family sitcom staring the cook family 1:00-2:26 season 2: greatly expands the cast by introducing the cooks extended family, a trio of chefs, smarf, and the cooks neighbors, steve from accounting and his wife, who are in a polymarius relationship with mr and mrs cooks 2:26-3:27 season 3: a soft reboot. One half of the season is dedicated to a shared household between the cook families relatives, the police commissioner’s family, and the head detective and her fireman boyfriend. The other half is a semi serious crime show. The banter between coat and pie is the best part. 3:27-4:26 season 4: a timeskip where the cook’s eldest son has grown up to be head of national sercurity, while his subordinates run a propaganda cartoon. Characters start getting killed off one by one, and no one seems to address it. 4:26-7:19 season 5: another timeskip. The cooks teenage daughter has grown up and gone to college, where her friends are being axed off. Half way through the season, it’s revealed that the show is a show in universe, and its cast(as well as other shows being filmed on the studio) are being killed off. 7:19-8:24 season 6: its revealed that the previous seasons were a training simulation by C.O.O.K.S to combat B.R.o.t.H. The show turns into a space opera. 8:24-11:11 the movie: it’s revealed that the show was actually a collective fever dream of those suffering from a virus called introvitus. Eventually, the fever dream starts bleeding into reality. In the end, the hero’s get the afflicted to believe in a reset button, which manifest into reality as a result. Fans still debate the meaning of the ending.

the creator says he made it to confuse potheads really late at night

Imagine putting this on Netflix and pressing the skip intro button lmao

9 years later and this is still one of the greatest things I've ever seen on television 😂

Let’s not forget the selfless sacrifice made by smarf to end this nightmare

Whoever approved this and let the creative team see their vision through is the real hero.
