Nobody expects a behind-the-scenes special about a show with two characters in a single room to be funnier than the actual episodes. Drossel and Gedächtnis break character just enough to let you see the seams, and somehow that makes them more ridiculous, not less. You watch them explain absurdist comedy like it's serious business, and the gap between their deadpan delivery and what they're actually saying becomes the joke itself.

Drossel and Gedächtnis, the stars of Fireball, step out of their usual roles for a short special about how their show is put together. Through interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, the pair walk viewers through a bit of the production work. The single episode is a comedic, sci-fi flavored companion piece, best suited to viewers who already know the main series.
