China, IL: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

[[Brad Neely]]'s ''China, IL'' started as a 4-part series of 3-minute shorts that aired on [[Adult Swim]] in 2008, combining his long-running characters of The [[Professor Brothers]] ([[Straight Man and Wise Guy|Frank and Steve]]) and [[The Big Guy|Baby]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|Cakes]]. In 2011, Neely was given a 6-episode first season that further expands the universe (and adds some unexpected celebrity voices like [[Full House|Dave Coulier]] and [[Hulk Hogan]] as [[Badass|The Dean]]). Tonally, the show is similar to other Adult Swim fare like ''[[Superjail]]'', but with Brad Neely's [[Crosses the Line Twice|trademark]] [[Freeze-Frame Bonus|humor]].

The series mostly follows the Professor Brothers, Frank and Steve Smith; their TA, [[Only Sane Woman|Pony Merks]]; and perennial student/confidant/drinking buddy Mark "Baby" Cakes, as they try to survive day-to-day life at "the worst school in America". Stories revolve around them dealing with their students, the [[Testosterone Poisoning|impossibly macho]] Dean, the [[Holier Than Thou|Strawman Christian]] Mayor...oh, and [[Camp Gay|gay]] [[Our Ghosts Are Different|ghosts]], [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|time-traveling ex-presidents]], and a [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever|colossal]], [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|murderous baby]]. Hilarity Ensues.
