This is just ... bizarre. But if you've ever watched American sitcoms from the 80's and 90's, and you like dark and surreal comedy as much as I do, you'll enjoy most (but probably not all!) of the 11-minute sketch. It's impossible to explain, just take a look (warning: some slightly NSFW images):
Apparently Too Many Cooks originally aired as a sketch on US cable channel Adult Swim in the graveyard shift, and later became a viral hit on YouTube. I'm just glad to see there are so many people (about 3.5M views as of this writing) that enjoy unusual comedy that you'd think given most of the bland dross on TV. My personal theory is that great comedy has to be terrible sometimes: it's only with a high mean and a high variance that the truly great stuff emerges. Monty Python is the canonical example for me: a lot of their sketches simply don't work, but those that do are just sublime.
Have a great weekend -- we'll be back on Monday!
