The premise

Here’s the bit.

A family Thanksgiving dinner turns into absolute chaos when Uncle Bill (Phil LaMarr) cannot control his insatiable appetite. Despite being a guest, he devours massive amounts of food like a possessed beast, screaming "I WANT A STEADY STREAM OF TURKEY!" His wife and the hosting family try desperately to stall him with random conversation, but he violently demands more food, unbuckling his pants at the table. The sketch features dramatic horror-style music and demon-like screaming as Uncle Bill loses all control over his hunger. When pie is finally served, he attempts to steal everyone's slices. Phil LaMarr delivers an over-the-top physical comedy performance as the dinner guest who seemingly becomes possessed by his insatiable hunger.
