Lil’ Bush Gets Premiere Date

Monday, May 21, 2007
By: Ryan Ball



Comedy Central will debut Lil' Bush, its newest animated series, on Wednesday, June 13.

Rock icon Iggy Pop has signed on to voice the role of Lil' Rummy in the show, which chronicles the early days of the president and such pals as Lil' Condi, Lil' Cheney and Lil' Jeb. Based on a series of shorts that developed a cult following on Amp'd Mobile, the show will premiere in the 10:30-11 p.m. slot.


This season on the show, Lil' Bush and Tony Blair become cheerleaders, the Lil' gang unleashes weapons of mass destruction and Lil' Bush makes a statement with his Aquaman underpants while facing off against Lil' Kim Jong Il on the playground. Other misadventures will include a panty raid against an Al Qaeda Training Camp and an attempt to convince the world that global warming is cool.
Best known as the front man of Iggy & the Stooges, Iggy Pop will play young Donald Rumsfeldt as a classic schoolyard bully with a few charming psychopathic quirks. He will be joined in later episodes by guest voices from the music world including Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, Frank Black from the Pixies, Jeff Tweedy from Wilco and the Red Hot Chili Peppers as themselves.


Lil' Bush is created and exec produced by Donick Cary, whose previous credits include The Simpsons and The Late Show with David Letterman. Jay Karas is Cary’s co-exec producer, and Amp'd Mobile’s Seth Cummings and Peter Adderton also serve as exec producers. Zoe Friedman and David Koga are the execs in charge of production at Comedy Central. Each half-hour installment of the show will be comprised of two shorts, each ten and a half minutes long.

Iggy Pop rules! I saw in San Francisco with the Stooges in April. He turned 60 years old that day and he had more energy a runaway freight train. He was awesome!

I know, I love Iggy, but what the heck is he doing here?

Love that song he did with The Teddybears.
 
Cartoon Comedy writing is very difficult. I know this from first hand experience.

I would have an episode where George Bush gets attacked by a giant Pretzel or his mom (Barbara Bush) gets beaten up by Katrina Survivors. Those are just my ideas though- they may not like the direction I am going towards...

You should send those ideas to the creators of the show. :lol:
 
Anybody watch this last night? I was not impressed at all. The only thing that made me chuckle a little was Lil Chaney when he bit the head off the chicken for lunch, but unfortunatly they kept replaying that same joke until it was just stupid. Most of it seemed way too "far left" for my tastes. I was hoping there would be some semblance of balance and make fun of some liberals too, but it was one attack after another on Bush and his administration. Watching the real Bush is alot funnier than this cartoon.
