Grownup Swim has formally added a brand new animated comedy to its lineup, and the premise alone is sufficient to make you do a double take. Titled My Two Vehicles, the upcoming quarter-hour sequence comes from Dan Licata and Joe Pera, and it facilities on a person coping with what is likely to be essentially the most absurd first-world drawback ever placed on tv.
My Two Vehicles follows Keith Asshole, an Ohio resident dealing with a each day disaster that may break most of us. He owns not one however two autos and has to resolve which one to drive. Each single day.
The official description lays out the idea: “Think about you might be fortunate sufficient to personal each a PT Cruiser and a Mini-Cooper. Your day-to-day life could be insane! But in addition onerous onerous. Keith Asshole doesn’t must think about this, and in every episode he has to make the tough determination which one to drive.”
Sure, that’s the present, and its ridiculous.
Licata voices Keith, bringing his offbeat comedic sensibility to a personality trapped in a hilariously mundane existential loop. When you’ve seen his work on Saturday Evening Reside, you recognize he can take an odd premise and push it into uncomfortable, laugh-out-loud territory.
Grownup Swim president Michael Ouweleen clearly understands the gravity of this automotive dilemma, saying:
“Few exhibits (and fewer present runners) are brave sufficient to discover life’s largest questions, however Dan and Joe are greater than courageous sufficient to confront head-on the perplexity of which automotive to drive at present.”
Licata and Pera appear simply as conscious of how ridiculous and excellent the idea is. They stated:
“It’s a easy premise with good characters and nice vehicles. We respect Grownup Swim permitting us to see such a dumb concept by way of into a whole season.”
For Pera, this marks a return to acquainted territory. My Two Vehicles is his second sequence with the community following the beloved Joe Pera Talks With You, which ran for 3 seasons and constructed a loyal fanbase round its mild, awkward allure.
Licata additionally has historical past with Grownup Swim, having written for Joe Pera Talks With You and contributed to the animated comedy Teenage Euthanasia.
Animation duties are being dealt with by Inexperienced Road Photos, the studio behind the Emmy and Annie Award nominated Grownup Swim sequence Widespread Aspect Results in addition to the Emmy-nominated Scavengers Reign.
Grownup Swim has at all times thrived on high-concept weirdness, and My Two Vehicles suits proper into that legacy. It takes a microscopic drawback and treats it like a Shakespearean tragedy, which feels precisely just like the type of comedy this community likes to champion.
