Too Many Cooks is a 2014 short film written and directed by Casper Kelly, edited by Paul Painter, and distributed as a part of [adult swim]'s Infomercials series. It was broadcast on [adult swim] at 4 a.m. each morning from October 31st to November 6th, then posted on their YouTube channel (where it quickly went viral). The short is an Affectionate Parody of '80s sitcom openings that introduces the loving Cook family — one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one...What starts out as a mostly straight spoof of family shows progresses to spoofing work sitcoms, police shows, Saturday morning cartoons, and so on. Then things get even weirder, into a Mind Screw unlike the family sitcom it seemed to be. See the whole short HERE, all eleven mind-scrambling minutes of it. | |

Too Many Cooks / int_1ba8eb64 | comment |
Visual Pun: The Too Many Cooks title becomes literal at one point, with several kitchen cooks being introduced in succession. Marilyn McCook draws a large rooster and peas on the board in the charades game. Given that she's topless, it's probably intentional. Also counts as a Stealth Pun. | |

Too Many Cooks / int_1c7555f1 | comment |
While Bill is coming closer to Samantha, she's frozen and can only move her eyes until he's close enough to distort her name, and when he's chasing her backstage, credits show up on every person the two pass by. This not only leads to her demise, but also gives a big hint towards the credits' true nature. | |

Garnishing the Story: The YouTube video, of all things, does this, as the normally black, bolded title under the video instead became the yellow and black italic text used for the character names.

Pun-Based Title: Too Many Cooks refers to how almost every character's last name is "Cook", though the writers are banking on the viewer being familiar with '80s sitcom logic in order to get the pun (or if you can read three hundred actor credits in about five seconds). | |

Postmodernism: A great many television genres and character archetypes throughout the '80s and '90s are spoofed, even if only for a few seconds each, and forcibly combined by the end. The cast credits for each character are eventually revealed as a symptom of "Intronitis", which is running rampant throughout the universe of this short. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: Samantha's death. Bill finds her, she screams, cut to blood splatter. In fact, most of Bill's early victims die offscreen, but as things get darker and his rampage escalates the murders start being witnessed, with a lot of blood involved. Subverted in one instance. As the detective is murdered, the camera cuts to blood splatter. Then it immediately cuts back to the victim screaming with a machete in his head. | |

Genre Roulette | |
Too Many Cooks / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: Both in a fictional and meta-fictional sense. The show starts out as a Growing Pains-esque parody sitcom, then includes some elements of office comedy, moves on to a police show, an animated G.I. Joe spoof, a rich elite show, and just when you think it's done shifting it goes sci-fi Space Opera. The show keeps going with its parodies of openings even as Bill starts offing actors until it turns into an unnerving slasher story as Samantha Cook tries to flee him. After that it's a Black Comedy with tons of blood, then a surreal horror story as the show distorts and mutates. As the show falls apart the disparate genres start blending together. Finally, Smarf's reset of the show results in combining all the characters into being part of the family sitcom cast, making it a massive ensemble sci-fi drama police office family comedy. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Dozens, including some plot-important ones: Bill is hiding in the background as early as 20 seconds in the short. All his background appearances are pictured in this link. At one point he even disguises himself as a painting. The lightning-speed end credits, which name most of the live-action characters. Magazine: The Magazine, that also counts as Droste Image. The sorority at 4:26? Zeta Alpha Zeta. | |

Subverted Sitcom | |
Too Many Cooks / int_6547474e | comment |
Subverted Sitcom: It begins as a standard cheery sitcom theme song that introduces the residents of a charming house in the suburbs. But then the song keeps on going and going, with more and more characters being introduced with no end in sight. That would be unsettling enough by itself, but then it abandons the sitcom entirely, moving on to other genres. And then the audience gets a macabre spree killing of the many characters before it loops right back around to cheery sitcom at the end... or did it? | |

Last-Second Photo Failure: The Bumbling Dad trying and failing to time a picture with his ever-growing sitcom family happens three times.

On the third time, he does manage to sit down for the picture, but he still doesn't get to be in the picture; his face gets replaced with Bill when the picture is taken. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Too Many Cooks / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Bill appears at the 20-second mark, and continues to show up hidden in the background despite the fact that everyone else who has appeared only did so after being introduced. Kind of last minute, but the lyrics during the G.I. Joe parody mentions resisting the forces of evil. Cue Bill appearing in the foreground immediately afterwards. While Bill is coming closer to Samantha, she's frozen and can only move her eyes until he's close enough to distort her name, and when he's chasing her backstage, credits show up on every person the two pass by. This not only leads to her demise, but also gives a big hint towards the credits' true nature. A few characters can be seen during the backstage chase before the intro has properly introduced them yet, such as the robot from the Space Opera sequence. Why is Bill carefully inspecting those spices behind the cooks? Because he's planning a very special meal... Josh Lowder's criminal character is screaming in rage, but abruptly gives a warm smile when his credit comes up. This is an early indicator that the smiles aren't necessarily willing. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
Too Many Cooks / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: Meanings of "too many cooks" include: The initial, rather large family named "Cook", and the second, and the various other families named variants of "Cook". An apparent Cast Herd of literal professional cooks. The possible judgmental reactions to the quadrilateral relationship of first two Cook families. The G.I. Joe like organization "C.O.O.K." The spacefaring "C.O.O.K.S."note Cybernetic Operational Optimized Knights of Science in an eternal war with "B.R.o.t.H."note Beast Rebels of the Hellscape The rapid and bizarre shifts in tone being the consequence of an overlarge production staff, as in the phrase "Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup". It's also possible Bill simply thinks there are too many cooks, and is "solving" the "problem". There's also one iteration of the "stew" metaphor becoming far more literal, with Bill eating various characters — "when it comes to me and you" becomes "when it's made of me and you" in this iteration of the theme. | |

Shout-Out | |
Too Many Cooks / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The family segment of the show is based on ones like Full House (where the font for the title logo came from), Family Ties, Growing Pains, Family Matters, etc. The sequence of a family sitting around the table as the camera pans around showing all of them in particular is a direct parody of Roseanne's opening. The kitchen and living room scenes are lifted directly from Married... with Children. Smarf is a clear parody of ALF and Snarf. The pie in the cop show segment is credited as being played by Lars von Trier. The supersuit scene homages both Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, using a pastiche of the former's theme song. The sci-fi segment looks a whole lot like a mix of Star Trek: The Original Series and Battlestar Galactica. Plus, it has a clone army. The melodrama segment looks similar to ones from Dynasty, Dallas, and Falcon Crest.note The music and the falcon are specifically parodying Falcon Crest Bill looks a lot like Jack Torrance in The Shining, especially his sudden appearance in a group photo at the end. He has long hair and a blue jacket like Bob, as well as an ordinary name ("Bill"), and he uses a machete like Jason Voorhees. Word of God says his patterned sweater is an homage to The Cosby Show, but in the context of a slasher movie it's also reminiscent of Freddy Krueger. Smarf's robot body underneath his fur resembles that of The Terminator. There's even a homage to Manimal of all things shortly before the ending. The ending has the whole cast arranged like The Brady Bunch's opening. Darren Cook also appears to be an architect, like Mike Brady. The opening shot of the "show" is a shout-out to the outside-the-house transition shots from The Brak Show (right down to using the same music). There's a section during Bill's rampage that parodies Law & Order, particularly with similar music. The cop section is heavily influenced by T.J. Hooker, with the "taking a perp down by throwing a baton" scene directly lifted from it. During Bill's killing spree, there's an extended shot of a cop searching for the killer, while the BGM makes a direct reference to the theme song of Hill Street Blues. The transition between the "Intronitis" scene and the characters mixing up between the genres is underscored by the distinctive Seinfeld slap-bass music. | |

Hostile Show Takeover | |
Too Many Cooks / int_cf64a80d | comment |
Hostile Show Takeover: Bill does this progressively, first by hiding in the background, then by killing actors in their presentation: one of his victims escaping transforms the sitcom intro into a slasher. He continues in the superhero and Law & Order segments, and after everybody's gone, he makes multiples copies of himself who start re-enacting scenes from earlier in the video before cooking and eating his victims while staring at the viewers. When everything goes to hell in the end, various characters randomly start changing roles and recreating shots from early in the video, leading to space aliens having a Childish Pillow Fight and the chief of police suddenly getting replaced with one of the teenage girls. Toward the end, anthropomorphic credit-people apparently usurp their roles from the actors, forcing the actors to appear in front of them as their credits, although it's hard to tell if they did so intentionally or it's just a mistake. | |
