"My mind is kind of blown," Chris "Casper" Kelly admits, and for a second, the Adult Swim writer-producer sounds like a 13-year-old kid who's just found out he's won the lottery and scored a date with his school crush. A week ago, an 11-minute short that Kelly made, "Too Many Cooks," aired in one of Adult Swim's "Infomercials" 4 a.m slots. An oddball parody of TV-credits sequences, it begins as a fake intro to a cheesy Eighties sitcom, complete with an earworm of a theme song ("They say that too many cooks will spoil the broth/But they fill our hearts with so much, so much loooove!") and endless array of stereotypes from the adorable moppet kid to the nerdy neighbor.Then slowly, the scene changes from a cop show to a Dallas-like primetime drama and a lo-fi space opera; later, a slasher-flick killer starts chasing random characters through the sets and lops off heads with a machete, while the upbeat theme keeps playing.
