Haha, I think that's a legitimate criticism. I thought a couple sequences went too long and they could have cut the space opera entirely. They probably had to fill out 10 minutes. Still, for me, the humor doesn't come from there being an enormous cast but the jabs it takes at 90s sitcoms. Here's the loving dad, the babies, the sassy grandma, the sex symbols (like Joey Lawrence), the pissed off police chief slamming his hand on the desk and chewing out the rogue officers.
Then it just gets creepy, with the scary serial killer offing everyone and cannibalizing them. It becomes a fever dream of terror, culminating with the bloody puppet crawling desperately through the apocalyptic hellscape of sitcoms, trying to press the big red button and end it all. It's like poetry.
I know it's fruitless to explain the joke (and no doubt you picked up on all that but it didn't resonate). Still, I love it. Best internet video I've ever seen, 10/10. :D
