I cannot believe it's been a decade since this video came out. It was stunning then, and its weird metaphors have been prescient about so many of the conversations we're having today. Comedy right into horror. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQLd...

I feel the exact same way about the Smart Pipe infomercial vis-à-vis the tech industry. (It’s a bummer that David Cross and Jon Benjamin claim [as] ripped the whole infomercial show idea off from them, though)

If you've never seen it, do yourself a favor rn. But you have to watch the whole thing. You cannot imagine where it will take you.

Too Many Cooks got all the love back in the day, but this will always be my favorite Adult Swim Infomercial. And I'm not afraid of Howard.
