Background
The series is a parody of soap operas and was based on a segment from Bloodfeast created by hosts Dave Bonawits and Maxime Simonet of FishCenter Live fame.[2] It was introduced in 2017 at a showcase of Adult Swim pilots as part of their "On The Green" tour across the United States.[3][2]
For the first two seasons, the series included two versions of each episode. One was the regular episode, and the other was a musical. Starting with the third season, the musical version of the episode was discontinued. The series is characterized by improvisation, inconsistent audio and voice-acting quality, and numerous fourth wall breaks.
