Singer/songwriter Father John Misty often has wry humor worked into his song lyrics, but sometimes you wouldn’t notice because of his calming voice and beautiful melodies and hooks.
Thanks to an animated music video on Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio, that wry humor gets highlighted the way it deserves to be.
Watch This Is America with Father John Misty here.
11:45PM on Adult Swim will see the series premiere of Brad Neely’s latest creation (that you’ll probably have saying over and over) Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio.
From the looks of it, it’ll be fun little bursts of Brad’s psyche, done up his animation style of course.
Again, check it out at 11:45PM on Adult Swim.
Oh yeah, Ilana Glazer, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Gabourey Sidibe, Darell Hammond, and Affion Crocket are all involved as well.
If you’d like you could just watch this more traditional Vine as well.
The short form video platform Vine is expanding as its horizons just like Adult Swim is reaching out to new avenues in order to get the word out on their atypical programming.
So, with Brad Neely’s new show Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio coming up next month, they’ve opted to use Vine to preview an entire episode before the series premiere on Sunday July 10th on Adult Swim.
Thankfully, it’s in its entirety and not in several six second clips.
Get into this full preview here.
We honestly believe that you’ll never think of a dunk contest in the same way thanks to this clip from Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio on Adult Swim.
Just be sure you’re not at work or work at a super chill place before watching.

Looks like Adult Swim is going to continue to stay ahead of the curb.
Not only do they have an exciting crop of original series, specials, and pilots here, but they have a bunch of daily/weekly events that are scheduled like linear TV series, but will only be only live streaming online, then archived afterwards. Apparently, the success of sports show parody FishCenter has paved the way for more real time, interactive programming/content from Adult Swim.
Here’s what they’ve got going right at the moment:
SERIES/SPECIALS:
-A Robot Chicken: The Walking Dead Special
–Montana James-frequent Adult Swim informercial collaborators Nick Corirossi and Charles Ingram that is most likely an absurdist take on Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.
–Mr. Neighbor’s House–Brian Huskey plays a rage-filled version of Mr. Rogers-esque host.
–Brett Gelman’s Dinner in America–Brett Gelman and Jason Woliner’s latest twisted, dark meta special with have a dinner where Brett attempts a conversation about race.
–Dream Corp, LLC-a workplace comedy set in a therapy facility where they analyze dreams. It’s probably not unlike a workplace set at Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’s Lacuna Inc.
–Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace-Sam Hyde, Nick Rochefort, Charles Carroll finally get to bring their self-described “super pure tragicomedy” to TV.
–Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio-A new “one-off bits, shorts and songs” filled show from China, IL’s Brad Neely.
–Decker: Unclassified-the action series parody starring Tim Heidecker gets upgraded to a full series.
PILOTS:
–Art Prison–Tom Kauffman and Paul Isakson get the guiding hand of Dan Harmon and Starburns Industries for this live action pilot that puts an America’s Got Talent-style show in the so-called Prison for the Performing Arts.
–Lazor Wulf-Henry Bonsu and China IL’s Daniel Weidenfeld brings us all a wolf that has a laser on his back and who just happens to believe love has no limit.
LIVE STREAM/CALL-IN:
–Stupid Morning Bullshit-call-in show that mixes delving into pop culture and setting things on fire. Weekdays at 8AM PST
–Williams Street Swap Shop-Viewers trade goods in a sort call-in swap meet. Weekdays at 10AM PST
–Crosswords-call-in show that seeks help finishing the NY Times crossword puzzle. Weekdays at 11AM PST
–FishCenter-Fish in a fish tank are made, via sports show style graphics, to look like they’re in a fiercely competitive league. Weekdays at 1PM PST
–Call of Karaoke-call-in karaoke is mashed-up with hosts trying to play various shoot-em up style video games. Wednesdays at 2:30PM PST
–Daytime Fighting League-Real people are pitted against each other in ridiculous competitions during the workday. Calls are taken from viewers wanting to weigh in on the “fight”. Thursdays at 2PM PST
–Sports Bitches-sports in the real and virtual world meet as what would be a normal sports shows gets another layer of the host playing sports video games on top of it. Thursdays at 3PM PST
–Development Meeting-Adult Swim development executives will supposedly take call-in pitches as well as get sneak peeks and previews. Thursdays at 4:30PM PST
There’s another whole world outside of China, IL that Brad Neely has been concocting. It’s called Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio and it looks just as delightfully absurd.
Just see for yourself in these two new preview clips that do a close-up on kitties and put a Predator head on a pre-teen.
Missing China, IL or Brad Neely in general?
Well, Neely’s got his latest work Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio coming to Adult Swim this summer.
Here’s a first look at it, which should make up for the Neely void you’ve been having over the last few months.

Where many networks are going lax on their comedy, Adult Swim is apparently more than happy to pick up the slack.
Coming up for their upfront slate, Adult Swim has:
-a new series from China, IL’s Brad Neely called “TV Sucks”
-another Brett Gelman “Dinner with…” special
–Robot Chicken DC Comics Special III: Friendship Is Magic
-Untitled Golf Special with Adam Scott and Jon Daly (Scott and Daly were mistaken by many for the professional golfers that share their names)
-a special for Jon Glaser’s Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter
-Pilots from/with Paul Scheer, Million Dollar Extreme, Brian Huskey, Jason Mantzoukas, a Mexican border amusement park, Seth Green, Matt Senreich, Daniel Weidenfeld, DJ Douggpound, Bento Box, a children’s show hosted by a person that has rage issues, Rob Corddry, an upstart terrorist organization, and more.
We hope we get to see all of this very soon.
