The script that permanently changed the landscape of adult animation.... and classic rock. Baffler Meal was written in 1999, and after many rewrites, was shelved. Three years later, Matt and Dave dusted off the script for the 2003 NYE block. We dive all into the history of the episode, the legacy of the episode, and of course, the episode itself. We also hear some unaired interview clips from Jay, Matt, and Dave. So grab a kid's Baffler Meal combo and put on your Willie Nelson, cuz it's getting baffling all up in here.

Here's an article from Todd Hanson about SGC2C that, among other things, goes over the development of Baffler Meal: http://tadghostal.batcave.net/oxfordarticle.html "In the weeks I am there, the script goes through two, three, seven, nine revisions, and when I leave, it is nowhere near done."

Holy cow! What a great read! Thank you for this, I can't believe I hadn't heard about it til now. I know Todd was on an episode of Marc Maron's WTF that I need to track down, too. Thanks again, I'll add this to the show notes

You can find the original airing of Baffler Meal on the Internet Archive. It does not have the deleted intro but clips from it were used in the promos for the episode. Additionally, Frylock's line after Master Shake says "a delicious direction" is "it leads directly to Burger Trench"

I should mention the last couple hours of this recording are clearly from a different night but it should have the full New Years Eve Bash.

Awesome, thank you! I didn't even think to look for full footage of the night. I'll add this to the list of corrections to go thru and add and credit you!

All I can say is: man, why am I so gross as to actually want a fast food place to make real Meatwads (with honey mustard dipping sauce). The bun is in your mind...

Classic rock will be forever changed!

Glad I’m listening this as Space Ghost Coast to Coast’s 30th Anniversary comes to a close and next year shall be Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s 25th Anniversary next year (as well as Sealab 2021, The Brak Show, & Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law)
