Um, This: A Trailer For “The Governator”

It’s a joke, right?

We’ve heard about this possibility before, but here’s an actual trailer for “The Governator,” and, yes, it’s a cartoon about the former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, being developed by Stan Lee (!), with a cameo by Larry King and the ubiquitous Black Eyed Peas on the soundtrack:

Words fail. A late April Fool’s joke? Saturday morning cartoon or feature? What is this? It’s obviously meant as self-parody, but… well, it is what it is, whatever it is. I won’t accept it as a real thing until it’s actually released.  And even then, I’m not sure.

UPDATE: TV show in 2012, 3-D movie in 2013. It is.

  2. Jim Simonetti says:

    the weirdest part of this clip was the random kids in the GOVERNATOR’S basement. Where the fuck did they come from?

  3. Hurricane Ditka says:

    I can forgive the Iron Man/Transformers/Voltron ripoff and the tired 27 year old catchphrase but I don’t see anyone asking the REAL question here: why are super powerful robots stealing money?

  7. Beeznitchio says:

    That looks ridiculously fun. I am not sure that feeling can hold past one or two episodes though.

  8. Fred says:

    I know he destroyed the public school system in California but I’m just glad something good came out of it. Horaaaaaay!

    When my grandpa got old he forgot to wash dishes or throw out old food. Stan Lee gets old and does this.

    I believe that the art style resembles that of the Boondocks animated series. Hopefully this is all a big joke from Aaron McGruder and his animation team. If not I believe that it is a sign of an impending apocalypse.

    The last group to drop a bomb this big was the crew of the Enola Gay.*

    This could either be one of the greatest cartoons ever or one of the worst. Can’t wait! 🙂
