   Matt Garvey to All   
   Notes for UABF13 (Meat Is Murder)   
   15 May 22 17:49:52   
   
   From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu   
      
   I'm struggling to care about all these random characters the plot is actually   
   about, but I've got nothing. Is this a parody of that Succession show people   
   love, and/or some other similar thing? Where does the murder part come in?   
   Apart from my rising    
   urge to kill...   
      
   9F22: Sideshow Bob (unvoiced) is inexplicably doing autographs at KrustyFest,   
   signing people's chests with their own names substituted into "Die Bart Die"   
   (no commas sic), and also seems to know Kirk's name offhand   
   EABF09: Another stall celebrates Congressman Krusty's "three weeks of service"   
   4F22: Khlav Kalash guy seen in Willy Wonka song parody   
      
   "Me and the Space Clown" is a parody of Mac 'n' Me. Reflecting pool is a   
   parody of Forrest gump.   
      
      
   UABF15 followup   
   Last week's end credits backward-opening gag is pretty straightforward, with   
   most of it going about 3-4 times normal speed; the most interesting thing is   
   that the audio is just the album version of the theme, with no sound effects   
   or modern variations,    
   and even the sax solo is the standard (#8) theme variant with a triplet on the   
   early high note.   
      
   Football?   
   Was this nationwide, or at least a nationwide patchwork of games? Scheduled   
   from 4 to 7 here in Cleveland was a match of the "USFL" that looked like high   
   school kids, pitting Pittsburgh against Houston, and it did seem to be hosted   
   on the Fox network.    
   The game didn't end until 7:14, yet instead of padding the time slot to the   
   nearest half hour, the rerun of UABF09 was joined in progress. At about 7:24,   
   the short NABF21 opening was followed immediately by a joined-in-progress note   
   (not more ads), then    
   2:12 of act 3, ads, and credits. Yes, 3 out of 21.5 minutes of the episode   
   aired. Pretty silly.
