EVERYONE WHO WAS awake at 4am watching US comedy channel Adult Swim on recent nights had a slightly surreal experience.
In a slot marked ‘Infomercial’, they were shown this 12-minute clip called Too Many Cooks.
At first, the film looks like a cheap 1980s family sitcom, complete with cheesy grins to camera and cornball gags. But then, strangely, the credits keep repeating… and repeating…
… and before you quite realise what’s going on it’s turned into a surreal parody of detectives shows, kids’ cartoons, slasher movies and just about any other TV genre you can think of.
This was the reaction of a lot of people:
Whoops!

Yesterday, the internet finally realised what was going on, and the film – the work of Casper Kelly – quickly went viral. It has now been viewed more than 1.2million times.
And the internet has a new obsession.

There is pretty much unqualified approval. Which for something that’s 11 minutes long, is impressive.
People are being… affected.
Whoops!
