Former Athens residents, creators of ‘Brickleberry’ release new show ‘Paradise PD’ on Netflix

From an underground sketch comedy show to their own animated, adult cartoon on Comedy Central, Waco O’Guin and Roger Black have been making waves in the comedy scene since they were students at the University of Georgia.

O’Guin and Black got their start with “The Damn! Show,” a sketch comedy show with dirty humor and hilarious antics. They performed a sold-out show in 2001 at the Georgia Theatre and things took off from there.

About a decade later, the two began working on “Brickleberry,” an animated series about “politically incorrect” park rangers. The show’s title is named after Brickleberry Ridge on the East Side of Athens, intersecting Whit Davis Road.
