"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.
