Not Exclusive Interview: Brad Neely announces start date for new Adult Swim series
It’s an interview you may see everywhere…
Adult Swim decided to post up a faux Q&A with Brad Neely (China IL) but the devil is in the details. The network managed to get a slew of important notes about Neely’s next work Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio including a start date and time. Check it out below:
Q: What does Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio mean, is there any sort of inspiration for it?
A: It’s intentionally meaningless. We tried some titles that had meaning. This one just made us laugh – it was our favorite collection of syllables.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about the show? What can people expect?
A: They should expect endless variety. Lots and lots of little bits crammed into a show. Lots of music. We have a dedicated cast for the whole season. There’s myself, there’s Ilana Glazer, Affion Crockett, Darrell Hammond and Gabourey Sidibe.
Q: Any guest stars?
A: We have one guest star per episode. We have Father John Misty, Lizzo, Jeffrey Tambor, Chelsea Peretti, Christine Shaw, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Andre 3000.
Q: Are there any favorite recurring characters?
A: Fruit Blood! It’s a band. They show up in a few, six or seven, episodes I guess. They do a lot of songs in a cellar. They wear colorful clothes. Some mix of bondage plus Mardi Gras sort of aesthetic, you know?
Q: How big of a role does music play in the series outside of Fruit Blood?
A: I made about a hundred songs for the show. About 60-70 made it into the 10 episodes. It’s a huge part of the show. This show for me is an opportunity to make a lot of music and have fun people sing my songs.
Q: So it’s not just you singing, cast members jump in as well?
A: Yes, and guest stars. Father John Misty sings songs.
A: Let me check my phone. Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio premieres Sunday, July 10 at 12:15 a.m. on Adult Swim. That’s what they’re tellin’ me.
Q: Would that be Monday, technically? July 10? It was 12:15 a.m.? They’re giving us a lot of mixed messages here. So you wake up on Sunday and you don’t go to sleep until you watch the show.
A: You can’t wake up if you don’t go to sleep.
Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio is a new quarter-hour animated sketch show created by Neely that features a collection of frenetic one-off bits, shorts, and songs, all filtered through Neely’s signature visual style. Beware, however, as this show hates you.
I'm hired!
