‘Paradise PD’ creators Waco O’Guin and Roger Black dish on their gleefully unhinged Netflix animated series and one of their favorite targets: Mr. Twitter, Elon Musk.
When Musk started to receive backlash from Twitter users after banning a number of journalists who were critical of him, O’Guin set out on a mission to get blocked by Musk himself, but to no avail: “The only thing I’m disappointed about is that he hasn’t blocked me or banned me from Twitter because I was sure what we did to him [in the show], especially if I kept tweeting him, would get to him. Either he didn’t see it or he held back his impulses for once.
If you recall, back in 2018, Musk came under fire after calling a British diver who helped rescue 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand a “pedo” on Twitter, and then doubling down. “He’s so petty. He has this submarine and says he’s going to send it down to save the day and the guys are like, ‘It won’t fit through the cave dude,’ and he calls him a ‘pedo,’” says Black.
Black and O’Guin remain cagey on whether they themselves are right- or left-leaning, saying they’re equal-opportunity offenders: “Look, we make fun of both sides. Both sides do dumb stuff. And we kind of thought we were making fun of the left when we hit Elon but it turned out to be flipped,” says Black. “We don’t want to alienate anyone, really.”
“It’s the more normal shows that do something just slightly crazy that [get canceled]. We’re doing insane stuff over here just slipping under the radar. I think the fact that it’s animated helps. But comedy needs to push the line and the line does change over time, but it still needs to push it or it’s just kinda boring.”
