"WELCOME TO GRIMSBURG"
ROAD SIGN GAGS
The show's opening credits will always land on the Welcome to Grimsburg Sign, where we'll see a new tagline each week, such as:
​
Welcome to Grimsburg: I would turn around if I were you.
Welcome to Grimsburg: Radiation Is Almost Gone!
Welcome to Grimsburg: Now with AOL Dial-Up.
FLUTE'S WEIRD RAMBLES
Flute can't help but unleash his disturbing monologues on unsuspecting victims. For example: In the pilot, Flute gives some teens a terrifying rant about the horrors of growing old.
In Episode Two, he shows his badge and scares some kids straight: "I'm like Santa Claus, but I can come down your chimney any damn
day I want."
Flute repeatedly describes
how he went nuts and
created a new family for
himself entirely with
Minecraft collectible
figurines.
TV COMMERCIALS
​
Grimsburg is full of bizarre products and businesses you won't find anywhere else, and we'll explore these with fun cutaways of TV ads:
​
CopOut, a pill for tormented cops to turn off their cop-brain.
​
Third Eye Shadow: makeup for those with extra eyes, a common Grimsburg occurrence.
​
Taft Hutchins' Used Hearse Dealership.
​
Blood-Be-Gone Post-Crime Carpet Cleaner.
LOCAL NEWS SEGMENTS
Harmony Flute is an ambitious TV reporter, but she's constantly stuck covering shitty local news stories such as:
​
Grimsburg's Annual CrabsFest opens for two weeks, is extremely itchy.
​
Local boy falls down well twice in one day.
​
Fire extinguisher shop burns down --
absolutely no chance of arson.
​
Orphanage guilty of money laundering,
orphans transferred to new orphanage: jail.
UNDERWORLD OF GRIMSBURG
From time to time, we'll delve into the family dynamics of a bunch of sewer-dwelling rats whose lives will parallel what's going on in the human world above.
It's a family of rats that are just like us -- caring, loving, annoyed at their upstairs neighbors making a ruckus (humans), and also
playing beautiful concerto music
with tiny instruments made
out of dental floss.
PENTOS'S ENTRANCES
The evil and egomaniacal Mr. Pentos just loves to make a big entrance, such as:
A scarecrow Pentos body-double to surprise Flute in the pilot.
An army of Pentos-lookalikes at the Ep. Two Talent Show.
A hang glider made of human skin.
Smoke grenades to appear/disappear from a room. Elaborate shadow-puppetry.
MR. FLESH'S
IMAGINARY FRIENDS
Sure, Mr. Flesh is an imaginary friend himself, but why shouldn't he have imaginary friends of his own? Here are a few:
​
A paranoid turtle who’s been alive since the Napoleonic Era.
Raspy-voiced old thespian from the silent film era who’s a bit crazy now (a la Sunset Blvd.).
Alien time-traveler from the future.
Kevin Spacey.
