TBS & Spade Developing JOE DIRT: THE SERIES!!

Published at:  Jan 28, 2010 3:04:15 AM CST



I am – Hercules!!


David Spade and TBS are plotting an animated series based on “The Adventures of Joe Dirt,” Spade’s beloved-by-me 2001 big-screen mockery of poor white people.

Spade and fellow former SNL writer Fred Wolf, who wrote the movie’s screenplay, are penning the pilot alongside Donick Carey (“The Simpsons”).

No word on whether Dennis Miller will be back to play the mean radio host.

Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.

    I like Joe Dirt, and I'm glad to hear it is a cartoon. Also, not that I give a shit, First.

    Oh fucking FANTASTIC!! Cannot wait. JOE DIRT is not only one of my favourite comedies ever (along with BIO-DOME, and I REFUSE to be ashamed, before you fuckers start ripping into me) but is one of the most under-rated comedies ever to boot. Kid Rock is fantastic in this ("She's sick of you! She's jus' plain... sick of you!"). Is there a more luminous movie fantasy girlfriend than Brittany Daniel? And CHRISTOPHER MOTHERFUCKIN' WALKEN!!

    Dennis Miller is a tool. So you can't have everything.

    But nah, I thought JOE DIRT was awesome - and an animated series is ABSOLUTELY the best way to do this! Now... about the Van Halen cameos. Van HALEN, not Van HAGAR...

    Oh, and keep the contemporary hair!!

    by spud mcspud

    Or maybe have a nano-tech wig that changes style according to Joe's moods. Hey, it's the twenty-first century. It's a space peanut!!

    I never woulda guessed this movie was beloved-by-anyone.

    by coursinlarry

    I saw Joe Dirt in the theaters and, though I hesitate to ever call a movie bad, it was pretty fucking bad.

    by phantm_cruisr

    Maybe he has to come up with something quick money-wise to pay child support on that Playboy Playmate he knocked up, but Joe Dirt!?!? This wasn't funny as a movie, so who'd care about a series?

    There's a reason people say "Van Hagar" instead of "Van Halen". You obviously have the internet, so look it up.
