That was just. WOW.

I started laughing my ass off at :30....and that's a lot of Cooks!

Goddamn *quality.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by KnivesOut.

.. and i started skipping ahead at 2:00.. The joke was clear by that point (endless stream of stereotypical sitcom characters) and it wasn't even funny. Simpsons/Family Guy/South Park etc can tell the same story in 30 seconds... At some point it gets weird but i had lost all interest way way before that so don't know what was that about.

Loved it. I'm on my third viewing *promote

This is in the top 5 list of best things I have ever seen. Loved it.

Well that's a list I have to see! What are the other four?

It's funny, I think it's a revolving list - for a long time I listed this as my favourite Sift: http://videosift.com/video/Dont-fck-with-Pinkey-the-cat but I don't think I'm that sadistic anymore.

*dark stuff man.

Wowzers! (and ouch!) So not what I expected, lol.
This should be a sift talk post: Name your Top 5 Videos.
Then we can do a vote off to promote the winners or something.

I'm sorry I couldn't vote that down. I only lasted to 2:40.....while I was reading something else... Too many Cooks, not enough hooks.

LOL, this was... interesting. At 4:00 AM you said? Man, stoners must have had the night of their lifes!

I nearly gave up but the sci-fi bit was gold. Then the cat and the button near the end, it starts getting all Jodorowsky or something.

Good or bad this shit was something else.

Hey folks, nobody cares why you lost interest at 2 minutes and didn't enjoy it. If you're not smart enough to appreciate something amazing, you're better off keeping it to yourself.

I wanted to laugh. In the end, though, I think that this is one of those things you really need to either be high or off your meds to truly see the comedic genius of the bit.

Adult Swim posted a better quality version. http://youtu.be/QrGrOK8oZG8

Ho boy, some peeps attention span.

In other words you missed everything as it transitioned to different jokes, because you have a 30 second attention span.

A 2 minute joke crammed into 11 minutes...

My attention span is usually longer. It's just short when it's confronted with something that's not really funny. If I liked Ina-Gadda-Da-Vida I might have been able to sit though the whole thing without skipping, and given that each scene was a joke within itself I still saw the transition to outright ridiculous. It just didn't float my boat.
Unlike Tracecoach indicated in his posting comment "By a minute and a half in, I was laughing so hard I was crying and then it starts to get very, very weird."
I was, by the minute and a half mark thinking "when does the laughing start?".
By the two and a half minute thinking "the laughing should well and truly be started by now because shit is supposed to be weird by now"
Good for you guys for having a low threshold for boredom. Grass must intrigue you.

I had to come back to watch it again.

Funny, this seems to be one of those things that you either love or don't - maybe sitting through endless Facts of Life, Family Ties sessions in my youth attracts me to this.

Sift of the week.

I will defend to the death your right to say that, but you're dead wrong. This is a comments thread, comments are welcome. I am interested in why people lost interest in 2 minutes, i want to know if their reasons were the same as mine.

I managed to sit through it, i recognise the juxtapositions and such, but it seems a laboured point. I didn't have to sit through hours of this kind of stuff, i don't associate the stereotypes with anything but stereotypes so perhaps dag (above) might be onto something.

I'm with @dannym3141 -- I watched the whole thing, and got quite a few of the references from TV and sitcoms when I was growing up ... but at the end I just ended up wishing I had spent my 11 minutes on something else.

But to each his own, you now?

One of the best WTF's ever.

I can see why people stopped watching after 2 minutes - it stayed too long on the sitcom intro thing. Also, if you didn't grow up in the 80's, or watch 80's tv shows, it probably isn't that funny.

Wasn't pulled into watching this video from the title and thumbnail, but finally took the dive because it made Sift of the Week. Oh so glad I did.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Wonderful. Just wonderful.

I'll admit it was a bit of a roller coaster for me. the first couple minutes and they were beating the Full House horse, I started to get bored, but then they started switching to other shows and that drew me back in again. Then they kinda over did it with the serial killer guy and I started to lose interest again, then they got to the sci fi meme and I started smirking again.

certainly reminds me of this: *related=http://videosift.com/video/Rejected-Family-Learning-Channel-Commercials
