comment |
A Very Fatal Murder is a satirical podcast by The Onion. It follows the fictional Onion Public Radio reporter David Pascall (voiced by David Sidorov) as he tries to create an award-winning podcast by solving a murder case which comments on the fabric of America in the 21st century. Pascall finds this case with the help of the MIT supercomputer ETHL (Extremely Timely Homicide Locator), and goes to Bluff Springs, Nebraska to solve the murder of 17-year-old Hayley Price. |

Black Comedy: The death of Hayley Price is way over the top, such that she was "shot, stabbed, drowned, strangled, and given a haircut." Pascall's reenactment of the crime scene ends with an OPR intern shooting and killing another intern. |

Clue, Evidence, and a Smoking Gun: Averted. While searching through the case's evidence, Pascall thinks he found the smoking gun. However, it turns out that it's just a Red Herring. |

Parody Commercial: Parodies popular podcast ads such as Complete Meal (Blue Apron), BrickShorts.com (SquareSpace), etc. The commercial for the US Postal Service acts as a counter for Stamps.com ads, arguing that since the USPS is so old it doesn't matter that you might have to wait in long lines or your mail arrives a little late. |

Trashy True Crime: The podcast is a series-long parody of true crime podcasts, and as such features mainstays like characters investigating "the perfect subject for a true crime podcast" - the death of a "really hot dead white girl" in a small, apparently corrupt town in Nebraska. Exaggerated with the revelation that ETHL murdered Hayley for the podcast, as she calculated that Hayley really was the perfect subject for one. |
