Throw your mind, if you can, back to 2014. It was a simpler time when we could go on with more peace of mind than today. It was also the year that Adult Swim caused numerous nightmares with ‘Too Many Cooks’, a masterful spoof of a 80s and 90s TV show introduction. To divert her attention from everything that was going on in January, writes writer and comedian Jenn Welch recreate the classic viral video shot-for-shoot in a completely different medium: Animal crossing: new horizons.
“Too Many Nooks” is a strikingly faithful rendition of the original. I do not want to spoil anything if you have not seen “Too many cooks” somehow (if not, fix it right away), but the title and the duration of 11 minutes is a big part of the joke. Welch recreates a certain character perfectly as the cute but rather terrifying villager Pietro of the Nintendo Switch megahit.
If you need proof that the videos match almost perfectly, you can play them on ViewSync at the same time. Just do not blame us if you can not watch it Animal crossing: new horizons in the same way ever again.
