Wanting the midst of an particularly busy Comedian-Con, there are few days extra tiring for the staffers of your humble Newswire desk than April 1, the day we’ve all, for some cause, determined it’s okay to only go forward and Say Shit, and if somebody believes you, welp, that’s their drawback, bub.
In a universe the place goal actuality has already gotten pretty near sluicing down the bathroom for goodit’s sufficient to make a standard thoughts drift in direction of paranoia. For example: Is Comedy Central actually launching a brand new on-line animated present known as Lightning Wolves, which is a direct parody of Thundercatsand which is written by and starring Bobby Moynihan?
Another day we’d say, “Hey, certain! Humorous sufficient thought. Principal character’s known as Wolfi-O? Why not?” However on The Mendacity Day, all have to be suspect. Like, sure, the e-mail we obtained about this is from the official Comedy Central press account, however that’s the identical place the place they’ve been pushing one thing known as “Fairview,” a present so ugly we’re moderately satisfied it may well’t exist, so…
For no matter it’s value, stated launch included a press release from Moynihan himselfstating that, “Lightning Wolves is an homage to all these cartoons from the 80’s we liked as youngsters. Thundercats, He-Man and She-Ra, G.I. Joe, Voltron, Silverhawks—cartoons that have been packed filled with necessary life classes whereas secretly promoting toys to kids. However this one has a lot of cursing.” (In the meantime, Moynihan hasn’t talked about the present on his Twitter account but. Why not? What does he have to cover?!)
The visitor star roster on this factor is admittedly fairly filled with Moynihan’s numerous comedy mates, together with appearances from Eugene Cordero, Donald Faison, Sofia Gonzalez, Taran Killam, Will McLaughlin, Griffin Newman, Lennon Parham, Nicole Parker, Connor Ratliff, Ben Schwartz, Jimmi Simpson, and Cobie Smulders. However have been these names genuinely hooked up to the present, or just pulled from the forged lists of our favourite podcasts? Nobody is aware of! It’s April Fools!
G/O Media might get a fee
Anyway: Lightning Wolves will or received’t debut on Comedy Central Animated’s YouTube channel and Fb web page on April fifteenth.
