Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Wordiezett So much average

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

reze-dani Wow... What a bizarre film (short film rather) to cover for my first review. At first glance Too Many Cooks seems like it's going to mainly stick to parodying intros of family sitcoms from the late 80's/early 90's in the vein of Full House, Step by Step, Family Matters and so forth. But as the film keeps on progressing it begins to reveal it's true colors, and nothing is more representative of this than the introduction of Smarf (Because what makes an adorable family even more lovable than a cat/alf/muppet/terminator hybrid who shoots rainbows out of his arms).That's really when the brilliance of Too Many Cooks begins to shine. Within the confines of this spoof on sitcoms, Too Many Cooks manages to rip on almost every staple of 90's television and film ranging from police procedurals to slasher films to Saturday morning cartoons to sci-fi programs and more..And it does so with great wit, as if all of these unrelated sequences are all part of one big Cook family, all the while acknowledging and capturing the cheesiness of each genre it's tackling.I can safely say that my favorite part was the moments after the killer finished massacring everyone and the sitcom shifted to him being the different family members, then afterwards as he commenced to feast on all the dismembered limbs of the different Cooks. It felt like a triumph (for me) on all these overly optimistic, happy-go-lucky shows which were so out of touch from reality. Truly warms the heart :)For anyone with an open sense of humor and a soft spot for early 90's television I'd say this a must see. Now i'm waiting for the intro of season 2...

terryperring104 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!

Derric C Oh. My. God.I'm so confused, I'm so lost. I feel....mesmerized, like I've been sucked into a vortex of nostalgia and confusion. I mean, I can't even begin to describe what I've just seen.Where do we begin? A typical 70's-80's sitcom parody appears and you see that old sitcom technique where they're doing something random and the camera catches them off-guard, to which they give a sly smile and their names appear. Okay, but then, it keeps going. And going. And going. Is that the joke? Wait, I get it, it's called "Too Many Cooks" because the intro just goes on forever with a family that never ceases to end in size.No, wait, now they're at a dinner table, with another family, a black family. Why is there another family? Why is the camera panning across the table with changing characters? What is happening? What is with the creepy guy that appears in the background of all these introductions? Hold on, why is there a guy with binoculars staring at a naked woman? Why is the naked woman there? Why is there a half-naked firefighter and a female police officer at the dinner table? There's also a puppet shooting rainbows out of it's hands but this still doesn't help, I'm still confused, yet mesmerized.We move into various other scenarios and cartoon-introductions yet that creepy guy still appears everywhere? Is that the joke? What am I suppose to be looking for? We go back into the bedroom and we see the credit for a character named Katie Adkins, the creepy guy appears and chases her, her name is stuck to her, why? Why? She runs into the closet and he finds it, because of the bright yellow name that follows her? Why does it follow her? Why does he kill her? Then a woman starts to spin and changes characters, but why? Why was this included? I don't know. Creepy binoculars guy gets his head chopped off and is reintroduced, but why? Creepy killer guy is now eating dead bodies. Then the characters are really words and the names on them are the actors and they're stuck and everyone is dying and then the show starts, which promptly ends.Yet it all comes down to this moment, I've never written a review on IMDb and likely never will. I feel as though as this has taken over my life, I feel like everything is confusing and there's no connection to anything I do. I've also downloaded the entire song on my phone and listen to it, yet I hate it. What is wrong with me? What is wrong with you?

miles-b-42 Too Many Cooks isn't something I saw coming. It has a great production value for something that aired at 4AM on Adult Swim, as though its viral nature had been planned from the very start. Its slow descent into insanity is hilarious once you realize what's happening, and foreshadowed well enough that you can actually notice that, for example, the murderer shows up in the first round of the theme song. It forms a surprisingly cohesive narrative, as seen from several points of view in many different versions of the theme song, all with the same name: Too Many Cooks. It's dark, it's surreal, and it's just downright hilarious.
