Was the creator of the viral comedy short film Too Many Cooks.

For what specific reason did he name a pie after Danish film director Lars von Trier?

So Caspar Kelly was the creator of the viral comedy short film Too Many Cooks.

For what specific reason did he name a pie after the Danish film director Lars von Trier?

Okay, do we know as a group, do we know Too Many Cooks?

So it went round a few years ago, and I got a few, like, a minute into it.

It is a parody of, like, 80s American sitcom opening titles.

Yeah, it's all a parody of opening credits, effectively.

With so many characters, increasingly surreal being introduced.

And once I realized they were doing the gag where we're just repeating this music over and over and over again, and

It was going around their head for weeks.

I remember there being a lot of characters being introduced and going, you know what?

I guess I mustn't have seen this because it's not coming into my head.

I think I'm in a similar situation where I've seen the start of a quite long thing of like.

It's like 12 minutes of opening titles with the same music all the time.

And it's just saying, there's too many cooks.

So presumably at some point there's a pie called Pie.

Okay, so should we go into what we know about Lars von Trier outside of.

No, neither can I. Yeah, I can't help you on that either.

Not because it will help you, because I don't know the answer.

I have Lars von Trier in my head as, like, a controversial filmmaker, but

beyond that, I have very little knowledge.

Controversial in the films he makes, as opposed to making, like, very normal films and being a weird guy.

All right, so what could have been controversial about this pie?

I feel like we don't need to know that for this question.

Like if we need to know that, there'd be names of films in the question.

Yes, there's no, there's no information here, so I'm guessing it's not relevant what films he made.

I would like to correct my own brain constantly.

And like, working around things like that might be mighty be the way to go.

I mean, I'm now trying to anagram the name on the assumption I've spelled it right.

So I would get less caught up on the name and just be aware that it is a director.

And Casper Kelly, who is the creator of Chimney Cooks, was a fan.

Okay, so, so in the opening credits for this fake sitcom, the director of this fake sitcom was listed as Lars von Trier.

There's just a shot of a pie with Lars von Trier below it as a character in text.

Look at it exactly that as a picture reference.

I mean, I can assess the type of pie, but I don't think it's relevant.

Well, I'm thinking like pumpkin pie, like American style one or like Australian style meat pie.

There's, there's this looks like a sweet pie.

Okay, again, I don't think it's going to help you in the clue to worry about the type of pie, but

It is absolutely wild to me that we are sitting here being told, okay, there's a pie named after Lars von Trier, but

you don't need to know anything about the pie or Lars von Trontria.

It's not the type of pie and it's not the type of movies.
