Ready or not, "Gay Robot" is coming to TV

Comedy Central has announced the new projects they're developing, and are not shy about the demographic they're targeting:

""We first and foremost went looking for things that are very funny and appeal to young guys," "There are all kinds of formats that can take that form. And we've identified a wide range of talent that can appeal to our young demo."

What this means is that we can look forward to such gems as Untitled Snoop Dogg Project, America's Biggest Idiot, plus the resurrection of the better off dead Gay Robot. For those who don't know, Gay Robot was a pilot shot over two years ago that was turned down by every network, but became a huge hit when it was posted online. Now Comedy Central has ordered a new pilot, in animation form, that will consist of two 11 minute segments.

Hopefully, the new pilot will be less groan-inducing than the live action version, which featured lines about "semen smoothies" and "lavender scrotums" and a main character that was gay because his inventor "spilled a wine cooler on him". This kind of humour can be funny and edgy when done well (like in Drawn Together or South Park), or it can be offensive and crass, which is the case with Gay Robot. The fact that it's produced by That Chuck & Larry Guy does not bode well.

Am I overreacting? You can judge for yourself, the full live action clip is after the jump.
