There’s One Last Thing Coming from The Whitest Kids U Know

(via Variety)

The unfortunate and untimely passing of Trevor Moore last year struck the world of comedy extremely hard. Though the Whitest Kids U Know, the signature sketch group that Moore was a part of, hadn’t formally put out something in quite some time at that point, the fervor for their sketches still remained and the outpouring of grief and love for Moore and the Whitest Kids U Know definitely showed up when that moment came around.

Thankfully, such fandom will be given one last gift from the group in the form of an animated feature film satirizing billionaires trying to terraform and colonize Mars. Called Mars, the money for the film was crowdfunded and was in the works right around Trevor’s passing. Thusly, it’ll be released posthumously for Trevor and, ostensibly, be in tribute to his comedic verve. Whitest Kids U Know member Zach Cregger notes that there can’t be any WKUK without Trevor and, as such, this will very likely be the last work offered up by the beloved, boundary pushing sketch group.

A new film from The Whitest Kids U Know will not only be enticing for all the reasons mentioned above, but it’ll also be a high-concept original comedy feature at a time where we’re finding that studios are far from finished scraping the barrel of IP or only slightly reimagining well worn premises like infinite time loops or fish-out-of-water rom coms. No word on a release date as of yet, but hopefully we’ll get Mars on some type of screen early next year.

Stewart’s leaving to see his family, but Hodgman’s apparently got something much more devilishly grandiose planned for when he leaves. 

John Hodgman makes another fantastic Daily Show appearance as his deranged billionaire character and reveals that we non-deranged-billionaire folks are indeed going to be stranded on Earth a la that movie that a few people saw, Elysium.

In addition to having Axe Cop and High School USA as full fledged shows, Fox ADHD has been uploading quite the collection of web shorts over the past several months.

This latest one, Dumbest Girl on Mars, is a good example of what they’ve been up to as it’s short, to the point, and really funny.
