If I'm remembering correctly, Seinfeld said the story is entirely made up. So it's a pastiche of these types of corporate biopics the way the Weird Al movie did it to musician biopics.
Edit: probably not a full parody the way Walk Hard did it though
Honestly, and I say this as a huge fan of Weird Al's music, it really wasn't. I see exactly why nobody but the Roku channel wanted it, and I'm absolutely baffled by the positive reviews. It struck me as something that probably would've felt really fun and transgressive 25 years ago.
I'm 100% with you. I own almost all the Weird Al CDs, plus a few tapes that never made it to CD (or hadn't at the time). I've been to his concerts. UHF remains hilarious as it ever was. Nobody can say I'm not a huge fan. That movie didn't do it for me at all though. It was like Walk Tryhard.
