Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio is an American animated television series created by Brad Neely. Formatted as a sketch comedy show, it is made up of short films and routines, with songs composed by Neely. The series premiered on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim on July 10, 2016. On November 15, 2016, Brad Neely confirmed that the series would not return for a second season.
An animated sketch-comedy show, Sclopio Peepio comprises short, singular routines, short films, and songs. Each episode is a quarter-hour long, with some sketches lasting only a few seconds. As part of the main cast, Affion Crockett, Ilana Glazer, Darrell Hammond, Gabourey Sidibe, and Neely provide the voices of various characters. One guest star appears each episode.
Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio was announced a week before Adult Swim's upfront in the second week of May 2015. The show is the creation of Brad Neely, who conceived another Adult Swim program, China, IL. Daniel Weidenfeld, executive producer of the aforementioned series, holds the same position on Sclopio Peepio, as does Neely and Dave Newberg. Production of the first season commenced during production of China's third season and ended in January 2016. Before China was canceled in July 2015, the crew was given the impression Sclopio Peepio could intersect with the universe of China while the two aired simultaneously. Neely wanted to produce a fast-paced sketch comedy series because he feels both those qualities apply nicely to animation.
Borrowing the method used for writing China, the show's writers arrange in a room where they propose roughly 50 ideas for sketches in a sitting. Some of these ideas derive from a list developed by Neely in the course of his life. By the end of the first season's production, 600 sketches were written, but only half were incorporated in the ten episodes of that season. According to Neely, the sketches discussing celebrities like Kanye West or Taylor Swift express his "strange associations" with those subjects rather than that of general public, leading to those sketches making the least sense. A large portion of the sketches are musical, with all songs composed by Neely. In June 2015, Neely was composing 75 pieces; a year later he had completed 100, but only 60 to 70 will appear in the first season.
