Meet the greatest metal band in the world.
We're introduced to Dethklok, the world's greatest metal band and the world's seventh largest economic power. The band hires a new chef who's horribly mangled in a helicopter accident, forcing the band to try and get their own food.This episode contains examples of

- Curse Cut Short: "You ams a G-milf. That ams a grandmother I would like to f..." (cue scene change)
- Early-Installment Weirdness: The episode has noticeable pacing issues in comparison with later episodes. Also, Nathan, Muderface, and Toki's voices were at their earliest stages.
- It's also the only episode to not feature Offdensen at all due to him not being introduced until the very next one.
- Toki had Skwisgaar's Character Tic of fingering the guitar. Later episodes make it exclusively Skwisgaar's habit.

- Epic Fail: Dethklok's attempt at grocery shopping.
- "Eureka!" Moment: When Toki says the band's attempt at sewing Jean-Pierre together would be wrong, Nathan gets the inspiration for "Sewn Back Together Wrong".
- Everyone Has Standards: Even the most brutal band in the history of the world can't help but get a bit freaked out when they see what Jean-Pierre looks like after he's surgical reconfigured.

- High Turnover Rate: Dethklok warns their new chef, Jean-Pierre, that their previous chefs frequently died Cruel and Unusual Deaths.
- Hypocritical Humor: Jean Pierre offers wine from the Prime Minister of Norway. Nathan says the band never drinks [alcohol] before a show, only to reveal everyone else loading up on booze, including Nathan.
- Let Me Get This Straight...: At the grocery store, Pickles asks a seafood worker about cooking lobsters.Pickles: Okay, hold on now, so you're telling me that you put these little guys in boiling water and they shriek, and they turn red and they die?
