Just discovered this, and I don't know what's real and what isn't anymore.

My friend just asked me if I'd seen this. I can tell you what is real is my lack of patience for 11 minutes of that. I had to skip forward a few times and probably had my fill with about 4 minutes of it.

I had fun trying to catch all the references, but it was not really surprising or disturbing.

Don't Hug Me .I'm Scared is better at building dread: I don't think dread's a huge part of why it works there; it's just kind of a surreal dream of all old overlong intros. The killer was probably the most expected part of it. |

No, I skipped past that mark and a couple times after that to see if it got any more interesting. It just felt really repetitive and unnecessarily long. |

It just felt really repetitive and unnecessarily long. The skipping might be the issue - for me, it was the cumulative affect, almost like a hypnogogic trance. But sounds like you're just not fussed, which is fine. |

I'm with Iffy and MLA. I had to keep skipping forward. Okay, okay, I get it. Meh. I can definitely see the appeal of the joke, though.

I enjoyed about two minutes of this, and that might be pushing it. By the time it went into the third different style of 1980's TV show, I was ready to punch Seth MacFarlane. Moreso.

I must have watched it over 10 times by now. I even ripped the audio to have on my phone (for when I can't take it out to watch a video, but I need my Too Many Cooks fix, man!).
5/5 stars

Just seeing the name of this thread triggers a nasty earworm for me.

I watched all the way through without skipping ahead because I was like "11 minutes?! There's gotta be something going on..."
And then!
So I had to watch it again. AND AGAIN.

 Why did I even click that? There's a reason why I don't miss that guy at all. |

When describing the analysis that's come out, he obviously references TVDW's article, and says he's delighted by what people pull from it. "That's deep!" he says, kinda proudly. |
