The premise
Here’s the bit.
Speaking straight to camera against a white backdrop, a Corncob TV representative warns that Spectrum plans to drop the channel, taking away its signature program Coffin Flop, which consists entirely of footage of corpses, many of them nude, spilling out of cheap caskets at funerals. As clips of screaming mourners and bodies hitting the pavement cut in, he grows more defensive with every criticism he relays, insisting he never staged anything and brushing off the question of the families' consent. His appeal collapses into a profane rant about a world that is worse than his show, and he gives up on the whole campaign with a sudden threat.
