how many OKP's watched this shit? Don't lie...

Adult Swim has canceled Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace, a show which has been accused of promoting racism, sexism and bigotry, Splitsider reports.

The sketch show was canceled after one season, airing just six episodes over the summer. Created by Sam Hyde, Charls Carroll and Nick Rochefort, the show immediately garnered criticism for controversial sketches – including one where Hyde wore blackface – while some of its promotional material featured language that seemed to nod to the white nationalist movement known as "Alt-Right."

Per Buzzfeed, an MDE press release stated the show would "unlock your closeted bigoted imagination, toss your inherent racism into the burning trash, and cleanse your intolerant spirit with pure unapologetic American funny_com."

While the show rarely touched on actual politics, Hyde, MDE's most prominent member, has been active in Alt-Right circles online, while his Twitter account is packed with Alt-Right memes and fake news stories, including the long-debunked "pizzagate" conspiracy theory. Hyde launched his comedy career with various viral videos, including one in which he crashed a TEDx Symposium, while others boasted bits that many found explicitly racist and homophobic.

Unsurprisingly, MDE became a source of contention at Adult Swim as well. Comedian Brett Gelman cited the show as one reason he decided to sever ties with the network, while last month Buzzfeed reported that numerous executives, actors, directors, writers and producers were trying to convince Adult Swim boss, Mike Lazzo, to cancel it.

While Adult Swim has confirmed MDE's cancellation to various media outlets, it has not issued a full statement. Hyde and the other members of Million Dollar Extreme have yet to address the cancelation.


Black face was on TV in 2016? Where was the outrage?

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

the black face thing.... wow.

The head honcho gave the 'Women ain't funny' response to why there were no women writers on any of their shows.

I like alot of Adult Swim's stuff.

But that same internet geek pothead humor they specialize in has the similar overlap to the same internet geek pothead dudes that spent 2 days twitter spamming leslie jones ape pictures.

I don't blame MDE (well I do) because they just doing what they were always doing, presumably being racist. But Adult Swim needs to let go of whoever thought it was a good idea and pushed for it.
