Sometimes you have to wonder about the people behind Adult Swim. They certainly aren’t sane, I can safely say that. And if their latest short entitled “Too Many Cooks”, which I was turned onto by our comic editor Zac Thompson, is any indication, they’re just getting worse and worse.
The premise of this short is that it’s the intro to an 80’s or early 90’s sitcom, complete with theme music, really cheesy “smile for the camera” moments, and hovering name title cards. For the first several minutes, it’s the same repeating gag of “let’s introduce more and more characters and never let this theme song end”. However, come the 5-minute mark, things take a turn and go into a seriously dark and twisted direction, never ending until the last scene.
Give it a watch and let me know what you think!
