Principalpoop: peace out
Rufus_T_Firetween: "Eat Or Be Eaten" was filmed as a half-hour special on Cinemax (as a "Cinemax Comedy Experiment"). However, the plots of the record and film are completely different. The film centers around a Morning TV show's coverage of Kudzu County and it's upcoming annual virgin sacrifice to the Kudzu Vine, which, if not satiated, will take over the town. The record and special share some commercial parodies (the three mentioned above) and random bits and lines. The film is, likewise, slight stuff. The "National Toilet" commercial from the special would be shown on the very first "Comic Relief" broadcast.
Dexter Fong: Night frog
HawkMoth: Diet Cola?
