(via Deadline)
Mike Burns’ renowned Twitter feed character Karl Welzein, better known as “@DadBoner” might be brought closer to life thanks to Comedy Central.
The network has just ordered an animated pilot based off the Twitter feed and the accompanying book Power Moves: Livin’ the American Dream, USA Style.
If this gets picked up, don’t be surprised to see a surge in sales of Bob Seger albums.
Whether or not you know that famed Twitter account @dadboner is actually written by comedian Mike Burns, you should absolutely watch this great mini-documentary that Vice made about Mike, trying to make it as a comedian in LA/in general, and his coming up with and rise to Internet fame as Karl Welzein.
