Too Many Cooks is a surreal comedy horror short that originally aired as a special during Adult Swim's "infomercials" block on October 28, 2014, at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time. It was created, written, and directed by Casper Kelly, and produced by Williams Street. After its original airing, the piece became a viral video online and was repeated each night at midnight Eastern Time during the week of November 11, 2014.

That show/video made me feel uncomfortable things that I don't even have words to express and I loved it. I didn't technically see it live when it first aired, but most have seen it not long after on the internet. It always stuck with me and helps me to understand that even if I don't understand the appeal of any specific piece of art work, that those pieces of work speak to other people in the way that Too Many Cooks spoke to me. It made me feel things that are indescribable.

There was another show called "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" that presses the same buttons and causes similar emotional responses from me.

Dunno why but I can't get enough of this shit and I want more.

This one really got me.

That's what they talked about on the podcast I heard! Casper Kelly gave Lars VT an acting credit with this since he's normally a director.

Don't Hug me I'm Scared is insane, and apparently was just picked up by Dropout

Have you tried watching local58 or Gemini home entertainment?

I've been getting that kind of feeling from aggressive, experimental music. Clipping. Backxwash. Daughters.
