Trivia

Too Many Cooks

Edit
The fast-moving end credits are the actual credits of the short. Slowed down, they reveal that each of the 67 actors that appear play characters with actual names. Only eight of the names are not variations on "Cook" and some of those are related synonyms, like "Bake," "Broil," and "Simmer."
The opening theme lasts 10 minutes and 46 seconds, while the "episode" itself only lasts 6 seconds.
Each character has a name, but not one is said on screen.
Most of the names displayed in the short are for the the real names of the actors. The obvious exception is "Lars von Trier as Pie." For characters seen in the animated segment or only shown as body parts, the names are the real names of various crew members involved with the short, e.g. Aimee Holmberg and Paul Painter.
William Tokarsky (The Killer) said so many people started recognizing him after the video went viral that he started carrying a plastic machete in his car because they all wanted selfies.
