China, IL

Anyone been keeping up with this lately? Two episodes have already been released on [adult swim] and it's weirdly awesome.

It takes some of the memorable characters created by Brad Neely ("Babycakes" and "The Professor Brothers") and puts them together in "The Worst School In America" (the University of China, Illinois) with a dean voiced by none other than Hulk Hogan. Surreal Hilarity Ensues.

Already we've got two episodes out: one featuring a time-traveling Ronald Reagan and another where The Dean fights The Mayor in an arm-wrestling contest. The third episode is apparently going to involve taking care of a giant "science baby." You just gotta watch it if you have not done so.

Watched the pilot with Ronald Reagan, pretty great. Any show with Baby Cakes gets the stamp of approval in my book.

I was going to start a thread on this myself if one didnt pop up soon.

I really liked the Babycakes and Professor Brothers shorts that were on the internet but I wasnt sure how well the concept was going to translate into longer features. I was particularly fond of the Babycakes monologue shorts. In the two episodes I have seen so far he seems to be a side character with more of story focusing on the Professor Brothers. I hope he gets a bit more screen time in the future.

So far Im liking it, the level of randomness isnt quite Super Jail but its still good. Dont know if Im weird for liking the "WTF did I just see" type shows but they amuse me greatly.

Just read the episode summaries on The Other Wiki, they remind me of the Regular Show

I guess thats why I like China, IL then. Regular Show is an other one of those WTF type shows that I enjoy.

So yeah, pretty fun show.
Its like Super Jail and Regular Show had a baby.

I wonder if the brain fuckler will make an appearance.

That one with the science-baby was more Superjail-y than I expected. Lots of extras died in that one.

I've been watching the second season since it started up, it's pretty good.

"Ahh, so many feelings! I don't know what these feelings want from me!"

That phrase actually has a lot of utility.

This week's episode was hilarious, and i feared otherwise from the promos (Frank's misguided self-improvement efforts merely being a decoy plot). The randomness of boars overrunning the campus, Baby Cakes' insistent racial stereotyping for the poor exchange student, and how said student seemed to grudgingly accept his fate, the Dean's fear of boars, Frank's eventual addiction to boar milk, and the oblique Wild Hogs reference (never forget what a terrible movie that was!)
