BlainThePain Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/firstcuts/entry/view/53272/chad_ochocinco_making_squidbillies_cameoOK, his voice is making a cameo, but you get the point. The Bengals receiver recorded some voice work for Squidbillies on Monday morning, which is a part of Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" block of programming. Because Squidbillies co-creator David Willis talked with us back in the day and was kind enough to do all those Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force interviews for Sporting News Radio, I had to hit him up to get the details. By e-mail, Willis fills us in on all the particulars. Spoilers ahead, if you're worried about that episode: Yes, Ochocinco did play himself this morning for Squidbillies. He was awesome! Really funny. Put his own spin on the lines. Rusty is being heavily recruited by college coaches for his speed, ability to catch and “elusive inkiness”. Dan Halen is recruiting Rusty to play at vaunted Sheetrock University, the best college team money can buy. Unbeknown to the NCAA, Ochocinco has been spending his Saturdays as a wideout for Sheetrock U over the past nine years – supposedly getting a graduate degree “in case the whole pro football thing doesn’t work out”. By the way, the image above in this post is just bad Photoshop on my part. No actual images from the episode are available yet. It's set to air sometime this summer. The fifth season of Squidbillies debuts in May.Ochocinco is known to be a man of many tastes, but how did this marriage actually come together? Once again, we go to Willis for the explanation. Jim Fortier (the other writer/producer) and I are both football fans, and Jim follows Ochocinco’s tweets. We were both a fan of the HBO Hard Knocks show and love what he’s doing in the league, so we wanted to somehow get him involved with our show. I doubt he knew what Squidbillies was before last week, but I think it speaks well for him that he wasn’t afraid to goof on his own image in our show. If you're unfamiliar with the show, it takes place in rural Georgia and there are copious references to the Georgia Bulldogs, Herschel Walker and Gator Hating. (Great example in this clip, with some NSFW-ishness.)One of the Squidbillies characters, Early Cuyler, actually stepped in and did NFL picks this week in place of Carl from ATHF on AdultSwim.com. (Once again, language warning.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I admit this is a stretch, but it all sorta reminds me of the father involved in the missing kid flying saucer balloon hoax. A seemingly normal person willing to do absolutely anything to be on television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I don't watch the show but I think I'll catch this episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Last night I found myself scanning the cover of my very favorite non-porn related magazine..."Urban Ink"...when I spotted the familiar goofy grin of Chad Ocho Inko. Despite my misgivings I quickly opened the magazine and turned to the feature article. There I was treated to a multi-page expose of all of Chad's tattoos, the meaning behind them, who does the inking, why Chad wants a huge eagle with outstretched wings inked across his entire back, and a few pithy Chadwickian quotes, including..."Haters are just confused admirers." So anyways, there it is. A handy heads up for all of you who can't get enough of all things Chad. You have my pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have my pity.It wouldn't happen to be the case that you have a jersey-sized, tiger-striped "85" tat on your chest from 2005 would it?? That could explain the disgust with all things Chad now. Even if not, however, it's somewhat comforting to know, now, that you are simply a confused admirer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 It wouldn't happen to be the case that you have a jersey-sized, tiger-striped "85" tat on your chest from 2005 would it?? Actually, I'm rebelling against the status-quo by not getting my body inked. Why be like everyone else? That could explain the disgust with all things Chad now. Disgust? I was simply offering the reader a heads up should he or she be interested in Chad's tattoos. A handy glimpse at what lies beneath the jersey and the mind of a self described "future hall of famer" Even if not, however, it's somewhat comforting to know, now, that you are simply a confused admirer. Oh no, let's be clear on that score. I'm a hater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
