Adult Swim Orders Another Mr. Neighbor’s House Special

If ever there were a darkest-timeline-doppelganger to a Mr. Rogers type, it’d be Brian Huskey as Mr. Neighbor.

We loved the original Mr. Neighbor’s House special by Huskey, Jason Mantzoukas, and Jesse Falcon that was released two years ago on Adult Swim. We’re sure that Huskey and company will up the ante, but, given the times that we live in, we’re sure it’ll seem slightly less otherworldly than when the first special came out.

In any case, we’ll be looking forward to Mr Neighbor’s next uber-trippy adventure set to premiere on June 24th on Adult Swim.

The Hilariously Twisted Mr. Neighbor’s House Is Now Streaming on Adult Swim

If you’ve ever wanted a bizarro, disturbed version of a show like Mister Rogers Neighborhood, you’ve absolutely got that in Mr. Neighbor’s House.

Brian Huskey along with his co-stars in Mary Holland, Nick Kroll, Jon Daly, and Steve Agee, co-writers Jason Mantzoukas and Jesse Falcon, and director Bill Benz nail the ultra dark humor a mentally and emotionally unstable kids show on pretty much every level and in front of and behind the fourth wall.

We won’t say anymore and just let you enjoy all of Mr. Neighbor’s House’s twists and turns.

The special premiered this weekend, but you can now stream it for free at your convenience at Adult Swim.

Specifically,

Mr. Neighbor’s House premieres at midnight followed by the pilot Hindenburg Explodes from Rob Corddry at 12:30AM. Then, Adam Lustick’s pilot The Mark Lembeck Technique starring Jason Alexander closes out the hour at 12:45AM.

Mr. Neighbor’s House looks to be twisted parody of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, The Mark Lembeck Technique, as seen in this promo, follows a really off-kilter therapist played by a frail voiced Jason Alexander. Corddry reimagines the events on a certain infamous dirigible leading up to the crash of the Hindenburg in Hindenburg Explodes.

All in all, it’s an evening of alternative realities, Adult Swim style, and we’re on board for that.

If you’ve been missing Childrens Hospital, you’ve got something to look forward to this week.

Brian Huskey, Jason Mantzoukas, Rob Corddry, Nick Kroll, Jon Daly, Steve Agee, and Jesse Falcon all teamed up to make a live action kid’s show that takes Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and makes it go on a really bad drug trip of sorts. Many of them last worked together on the award winning Adult Swim dark comedy Childrens Hospital making this project one you might want to check out.

Here’s a promo for Mr. Neighbor’s House. It premieres on Friday, December 2nd at midnight and goes for a full half hour as opposed to 15 minutes.

TBS’ long-awaited alien abduction comedy People of Earth will be coming at the end of the month.

To get a real sense of the “experiencers” that the show follows, you can now get a look at what their support group is like in this 360° video.

Spoiler alert: people who have been abducted by aliens can be a few sticks short of a bundle.

Another Period’s Season 2 Trailer Gets More ‘One-Percent-ier’ Than Ever

If there’s a takeaway from the trailer from the brand new season of Comedy Central’s Another Period, it’s probably to never challenge the outrageously wealthy to be more outrageous, especially in The Gilded Age.

The Bellacourts will see your challenge for this second season and raise you as much havoc as they can afford and then some as they probably have some more money stashed away somewhere or can marry into more wealth.

See for yourself in the season two trailer here.

Look for the series premiere in two weeks on Wednesday, June 15th at 10PM on Comedy Central.

Another Period Gets Picked Up for 3rd Season Before 2nd Season Premiere

Just as the Kardashians are sticking around, The Bellacourts aren’t going anywhere either.

Another Period, Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome’s series based on real turn-of-the-century opulence is going to keep showing off the 1% of the 1900s being as wasteful as they can possibly be for a 3rd season at Comedy Central.

Season 2 doesn’t premiere until next month on June 15th, but the renewal just got announced today, which hopefully means Comedy Central knows something really great about season 2 that the rest of us don’t.

Take a Gander at Adult Swim’s Exciting New Slate of Series, Specials, Pilots, Call-In Live Streams, Etc.

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.

–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.

–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:

Having a clean, simple, faceless interface to literally type anything you wish to query is part of why we Google anything our hearts, minds, and other parts wish to Google.

Making that process into something more akin to asking a librarian is such an awkward experience that it has helped make College Humor’s If Google Was a Guy starring Brian Huskey one of their best series.

The gathering of Barry Rothbart, Betsy Sodaro, Brian Huskey, Cornell Reid, Nick Rutherford, and Chris Reinacher under one roof makes for batshit crazy house. It also makes for a very funny web series that was just released at CC:Studios called 300 Sunnyside.

Watch episodes one, two, and three now and be thankful that you get to watch the insanity at their house from the comfort of YouTube rather than actual live it.

College Humor does a third installment of “if Google was a guy” with Brian Huskey as the “guy” and shows that interacting with Siri is just as frustrating on Google’s end as it is ours. Also, Google as a person must have a high tolerance for being aggravated.

If Google Was a Real Life Office You Had To Go To…

Basically, you’d get a real judgmental look from the guy you’re asking 24/7/365. Watch the clip here.
