The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a stiff press-junket interview, filmmaker Glen Tennis welcomes his friend Grum, a glitchy computer-animated figure in a green suit and bow tie who stars in Tennis's new film about the Pilgrims. Grum's halting, robotic answers leave long, uncomfortable pauses, so Tennis cuts to a clip: a sailing ship reaches Plymouth Rock, Grum in a pilgrim hat mistakes the people gathered on shore for clowns, and his human-looking companion explains the Thanksgiving feast with a growing menu over cheap renderings of turkey, rolls, pies and casserole. Grum fixates on the maize before the clip drifts into a hedge maze, where he spots his lost friend Chippy.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
I love the pilgrims.
Well, they're eating Thanksgiving dinner. You know, turkey, gravy, crescent rolls, ambrosia, pies, green bean casserole, and maize.
There's my Chippy.
A little extra
Notes from the archive.
Wikipedia's episode list spells the film "The Pilgrums"; the poster and Adult Swim's clip title read "The Pillgrums." Grum debuted singing "Crackers and Snacks" in Season 1, and a later segment of this episode has Glen Tennis show Grum the Cinco Video Cube.
