American live-action sketch comedy television series
Loiter Squad is an American live-action sketch comedy television series for Adult Swim starring Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Jasper Dolphin, Travis "Taco" Bennett, and Lionel "L-Boy" Boyce from the Los Angeles hip hop group Odd Future. The show regularly featured other members of the group as well.
The show was produced by Dickhouse Productions for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block during its first and second seasons. The show ran from March 25, 2012 to July 17, 2014.
On July 14, 2015, Tyler, the Creator confirmed that the show was "no more," stating, “It opened the doors up for other things that my boys want to do. That was a great thing, but we’re off that.”
History.
The pilot for the show was initially announced on March 11, 2011, after Los Angeles hip hop collective Odd Future began to receive mainstream recognition, with the premise originally being described as a combination of "Jackass" and "Chappelle's Show". Later, the series was rumored to be named "Blackass", a portmanteau of the TV series "Jackass," due to an on-air bump from Adult Swim claiming that was the temporary title, "at least until S&amp;P calls" them out on it. However, on April 22, 2011, Tyler, the Creator debunked the title on his official Twitter account, potentially not even knowing its origin. Then, it was not until September 8, 2011 that the show, by then officially titled "Loiter Squad," was finally confirmed as a 15-minute live action show composed of various sketches, man on the street segments, pranks, and music made by Odd Future.
"Loiter Squad" premiered on Sunday, March 25, 2012 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. Episode 2 featured an appearance from "Jackass" alumnus Johnny Knoxville while fellow "Jackass" cast members Bam Margera, Chris Pontius and Dave England have also made guest appearances. Other appearances have included rappers Xzibit, Lil Wayne and Juicy J, actor Seth Rogen, and Indie rock musician Mac Demarco. In 2012, it was announced that Earl Sweatshirt and Blake Anderson would join the cast at the show's second season.
"Loiter Squad" was renewed for a third season and premiered on May 15, 2014. It was produced by Gorilla Flicks, the new production company of Jeff Tremaine, and by Camp Flog Gnaw, the production company of Tyler, the Creator.
In July 2015, Tyler, the Creator stated that "Loiter Squad" would not continue after its third season.
