The CNN/Adult Swim Convergence Has Finally Happened

Coming soon: C-Span Squidbillies?

CNN posted this last night:

(If you haven't seen the original Too Many Cooks, you might want to watch that first.)

I've made $64,000 so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. I'm using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it. Heres what I've been doing

[scratching head] ..So this is why I can't watch Adult Swim online anymore?

TOO MANY COOKS TOO MANY COOKS TOO MANY COOKS TOOOOO MANY COOKS

[Sudden]

So many cooks and yet the menu looks the same from all, save one.

[John Galt]

...annnd...?

When it comes to fighting the intergalactic species that threaten our way of life, you can never have too many C.O.O.K.S.

When I first looked at this and saw the text with the Whitehouse in the background, i read it as 'Too many crooks'.

[Hyperion]

So the sheep on the pillar, that represents the American voter, correct?

[Warty]

OK, I watched it, and it's incredible. I wonder if CNN intended it to seem as subversive as it does.

[Paul.]

I'm pretty sure. It features 98% republicans, so I think it means exactly what it seems like it meant.

[The Laconic Esq]

It's really not 98% republicans.

It came off as really subversive to me. If it wasn't intended as subversive, I have no idea how or why they let this through.

[The Laconic Esq]

THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING.

[John Galt]

So this video wasn't satirical humor manufactured by Jesse? It was actually a video produced by CNN in cooperation with Adult Swim?

[Jesse Walker]

It was produced by CNN, and it parodies a production from Adult Swim.

[John Galt]

Thanks, I appreciate the explanation. If it seems I'm not up to speed it's because I got rid of my TVs back in the 1990s and just never felt the need to get them back. Have seen the Too Many Cooks piece on Adult Swim dot com though. If it's not online it's probably not worth the time anyway.

[Cloudbuster]

That went on way too long.

[Charles Easterly]

Why Cloudbuster, were you implying that there were indeed too many cooks?

Nice moniker, by the way. Fisher King?

[John Galt]

Going on too long seems to be the point of the Too Many Cooks piece on Adult Swim. It just goes on and on and on.

[Fist of Etiquette]

So CNN has some millennials working in editing. I can't find any reason to complain about this effort.
