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.

It opened in the US back in July, and now it’s made its way across the pond. Yes, I hate to break the bad news, but I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry has finally been released in the UK.

Rated certificate 12a, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry opened nationwide on September 21st. While it features a great cast, including Dan Aykroyd, Ving Rhames, Steve Buscemi and Jessica Biel, on reflection, the cast is about the only decent thing it has going for it. So it’s no surprise that reaction to this stale movie has been as unflattering in the UK as it was in the US. (Be sure to read our review for more.)

The Times Online said: “The film-makers behind I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry would probably claim a message of tolerance and personal growth, but this woeful Adam Sandler vehicle is as nasty a piece of sniggering homophobia as (we) have seen in a long time.”

Film bible Empire magazine was equally unimpressed: “With ribald and stale jokes at odds with the slender social message, this wedding piece crashes and burns amid its own hypocrisy.” Whilst Total Film said “Veering between knee-jerk homophobia and PC proselytising for gay rights – often in the same scene – Dennis Dugan’s comedy is an unhappy union.”

The Manchester Evening News thought it was "staggering that I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry should ever see the light of day" and that it was "hard to see the good in a film which revels in the prejudice and ignorance of its small-minded characters."

Here's a synopsis - just in case you're still undecided as to whether this film is worth the price of admission...

I came across this over on Cinemablend.com and thought I'd share them here.

Obviously a scene to establish that our two heroes are just a couple of regular guys. Nothing femme-y here! Of course, Kevin James is kind of bear-like....
