A Canadian production company called Six Eleven Media is shopping an animation/live action hybrid called Honey Badger U. to broadcast and cable TV networks, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The show will feature an animated Randall, who is "the chief professor of life sciences at a dysfunctional university," according to the report. "His course will feature his trademark color-commentary on documentary footage of topics related to science and the animal kingdom."
Reps from Six Eleven could not be reached for comment.
One of the most popular memes of 2011, the Honey Badger has topped more than 33 million views on YouTube. Like others reaching that level of popularity, the creators are looking to parlay that success to greater riches. However, the meme-to-TV-show track record is spotty.
Perhaps the greatest crossover success has been $#*! My Dad Says, a show based on a popular Twitter feed that CBS picked up in Nov. 2009. The show ran from Sept. 2010 to May 2011.
Meanwhile, YouTube sensation Lucas Cruikshank a.k.a. "Fred," got a TV movie on Nickelodeon in 2010. On Monday, Nickeledon announced that Cruikshank will be featured on two new projects on the network this year. Most recently, another YouTube success, the animated Annoying Orange, got greenlit for a show on Cartoon Network this year.
Would you watch a Honey Badger TV show, or has this meme jumped the shark? Is there any other way it can eke out its 15 minutes of fame? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
