Frisky Dingo

Frisky Dingo is an American animated cartoon series created by Adam Reed and Matt Thompson for Adult Swim. The series revolved around the conflict between a supervillain named Killface and a superhero named Awesome X, alias billionaire Xander Crews, and much of the show's humor focuses on parodying superhero and action movie clichés. It debuted on October 16, 2006 and ended its first season on January 22, 2007; the second season premiered on August 26, 2007 and ended on March 23, 2008. A third season was in development, but in the absence of a renewal contract from Adult Swim, pre-production ceased. The production company itself, 70/30 Productions, subsequently went out of business in January 2009. A spin-off show, The Xtacles, premiered on November 9, 2008, but only two episodes were aired prior to the production company's closure.

Killface, supervillain extraordinaire and loving father, has just begun his quest to destroy the world by smashing it into the sun using the Annihilatrix, a massive jet engine.

Billionaire tycoon Xander Crews (and his alter-ego, superhero Awesome-X) have a problem: billionaire tycoon Xander Crews has frittered away the (literally) billions of dollars amassed by his murdered parents.

3. Pimp My Revenue

Air Date: 2006-10-30

In what can only be termed a colossal misunderstanding, the creators of Frisky Dingo somehow got involved in producing an episode that revolves almost entirely around the (quite lengthy) list of options available on the sporty new tC from Scion. Their tagline is "It's what moves you." You can learn more about the new Scion tC at scion.com.
