MTV
will
add
animation
to
its
programming
lineup
with
the
premiere
the
new
animated
series
"Good
Vibes."
This
half-hour
coming-of-age
comedy
will
follow
transplanted
Jersey
boy
Mondo
(voiced
by
Josh
Gad)
and
his
best
bud
Woodie
(voiced
by
Adam
Brody)
as
they
surf
the
biggest
waves,
hit
the
wildest
parties
and
chase
the
prettiest
girls
in
Play
Del
Toro
-
a
colorful
California
beach
community.
The
all-star
ensemble
cast
also
features
voice
appearances
by
Debi
Mazar
as
'Babs'
Mondo's
mom,
Alan
Tudyk
as
'Lonnie'
a
burnt-out
but
wise
beach
bum,
Danny
McBride
as
'Ms.
Teets'
a
massively
overweight
and
inappropriate
human
sexuality
teacher,
Olivia
Thirlby
as
'Jeena'
the
beautiful
girl
of
Mondo's
dreams,
Jake
Busey
as
'Turk'
an
obnoxious
local
surfer
and
bully,
and
Tony
Hale
as
'Wadska'
a
charmingly
nerdy
and
delusional
friend.
The
animated
comedy
is
set
to
premiere
in
Fall
2011.
"Good
Vibes"
is
an
epic
beach
party
that
captures
not
only
the
thrills
and
excitement
of
teenage
life,
but
also
the
heartfelt
frustrations.
We
follow
the
wild-but-relatable
stories
of
Mondo
and
Woodie,
as
they
try
to
navigate
the
hormone-fueled
world
of
high
school,
life-changing
first
experiences,
and
the
complexities
of
family
life.
Their
challenges
are
universal;
however,
for
Mondo
and
Woodie,
it
just
so
happens
to
be
set
against
the
backdrop
of
some
of
the
best
beaches
on
the
west
coast.
On
these
beaches,
the
vibe
is
eternally
youthful,
the
girls
wear
string
bikinis,
and
the
summer
feels
endless.
The
series
was
created
by
David
Gordon
Green
("Pineapple
Express"
and
"Your
Highness")
and
is
animated
by

Point
Harness.
