When Sp'am mentions his name, there is a little pause on the soundtrack. I wonder if that had to happen due to the lawsuit by Hormel?

I always thought that was how his name was pronounced to make it funny becuase he was trying to make it sound exotic.

same here. Sounds all Hawaiin and tropical that way.

His name for reals is Spa'am, and I think it was changed because of the lawsuit.

Exactly. There wouldn't be a pause otherwise.
