Patrick Walsh: Animated!
Hello all,
As you may recall (CLICK HERE if you don't), my writing job prior to the current gig at It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was on Bob & Doug. The show is the animated adventures of the McKenzie Brothers -- made famous by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas on SCTV and in the movie Strange Brew.
It was an incredibly fun experience, and the scripts we churned out are mucho funny. Apparently others think so too, because the show -- set to premiere on Global TV in Canada this January -- is very close to getting picked up by a major American network. Can't reveal any details here unfortunately, but it's looking very likely you'll get to see Bob & Doug here in the U.S.
In fact, my old boss and Great Human Dave Thomas just released a two-minute trailer for the series, which includes his personal intro. It played at New York's Comic-Con, premiered at Quick Stop Entertainment online, and was picked up today by Ain't It Cool News. The trailer was a bit rushed in order to make the network rounds, so it's not the best representation of how truly funny the show is, but it'll whet your appetite a bit. And be sure to listen carefully -- I actually voice one of the characters in the trailer. Those of you who know me personally, see if you can guess which one...
CLICK HERE for the AICN link, the second video on the page is the trailer for the show.
I've never heard you speak! Which one are you? That was really funny --
love "coke lobster!"
SPOILER ALERT: Pat definitely plays the Mayor. That's awesome--you know
I'm interested in voice acting, so that was a fun game, trying to pick yer
voice out. It was additionally easy cuz it was very much the kind of joke
you'd have told!
I was gonna say the mayor, too. Show looks funnier than the movie. Nice
animation!
You are totally the mayor! I need details on the show, can't wait!
Dude, you have an animated character. That is bad ass. I watched the
trailer again. Can't believe i'm saying it, but yeah, I bet that cartoon is
definitely funnier than the movie.
That was hilarious. I hope it gets picked up here. You are the Mayor, an
appropriate role for Pat Walsh, I think. I agree with Rob that it was much
easier since the joke very much had a Pat Walsh flavor to it in addition to
your voice.
Well done Mr. Mayor -- really hope they pick it up here in the states --
looks pretty damn funny.
If it does get picked up, do you know if we'll be able to see the shows you
helped write or will they just start with new ones?
You're all right, I'm the mayor!
Here's to you, MAYOR show get picked up in the US! wah hahahahaha
