This isn’t going to be a good TV column. Why? Because I am so hopped up right now on sinus medication, I feel like I’m the entire front row of a Phish concert. SERIOUSLY! I’m high as a freaking kite, and in a completely terrible way. Would it kill the pharmaceutical industry to add a little cocaine or some other feel-good drug to their sinus medication? C’mon! WHAT’S STOPPING THEM? (And don’t say, “the Food and Drug Administration,” because I’m high, I’m on a roll, and I don’t want to be interrupted!)
Oh, sureโbefore I took the sinus medication, it felt like two barrels of fruit Jell-O were shoved up my nose and a vibrating dildo was buried just beneath my eyebrows. And while the sinus medication removed both Jell-O and dildo, it also took out my brain and replaced it with a jumbo package of cotton gauze and a sleeping hobo. So now whenever I try to form a coherent thought, the hobo rolls over and screams, “OY! Wot’s all this then? Can’t ye see I’m tryin’ to get me beauty rest, ye lily-livered pecker licker??” (Apparently this hobo is some kind of cockney pirate?)
See, this column is already terrible, and I haven’t even mentioned “television” yet. Whatever! It’s not like you’d noticeโI’ve read the comments you leave on YouTube, and you’re not all that impressive either!
Okay. So. TELEVISION. Nothing’s on television this week. However! A preview of something interesting is coming on television this week for something that’s actually debuting next week… even though the thing that’s previewing this week is actually the same thing that’s debuting next week. One could say it’s actually debuting this week, and next week is its second week, butโOWW!! Stop hitting me with your bindle, Sleepy Hobo!
Anyway, tune in to Fox this Sunday, July 21, at 9:30 p.m. for a preview of the new late-night cartoon block called Animation Domination High-Def (ADHD), which will actually premiere Saturday, July 27, at 11 p.m.โso don’t get it twisted! This week’s preview features two of its new short animated series, including High School USA!, which was created by the consistently hilarious Dino Stamatopoulos (Community, Mr. Show, Moral Orel) and revolves around a gang of high-school kids (not unlike the Archies) who are insanely optimistic, upbeat, and tackle topics such as bullying, sexting, and Adderall addiction… all of which I’ve engaged in within the last two hours.
BUT! ADHD also features the highly anticipated Axe Copโwhich is about a cop! Who carries an ax! Based on the web comic illustrated by Ethan Nicolle and written by his 5-year-old brother Malachai, Axe Cop battles dinosaurs, zombies, and other-worldly villains with the help of his partner Flute Cop, sleeps for only two minutes per night, and at one time was married to a female Abraham Lincoln. And NO, that’s not the sinus medication talkingโthat’s the actual plot of this show!
So check out this week’s preview of ADHD, then watch the real ADHD next week, which very well could be the same ADHD andโOWWW!! Damn you, Sleepy Hobo! I’m going to cram a vibrating dildo in my ear and KILL YOU!!! ![]()
