History
The pilot for the show was initially announced on March 11, 2011, after Los Angeles hip hop collective Odd Future began to receive mainstream recognition, with the premise originally being described as a combination of Jackass and Chappelle's Show. Later, the series was rumored to be named Blackass, a portmanteau of the TV series Jackass, due to an on-air bump from Adult Swim claiming that was the temporary title, "at least until S&P calls" them out on it. However, on April 22, 2011, Tyler, the Creator debunked the title on his official Twitter account, potentially not even knowing its origin. Then, it was not until September 8, 2011 that the show, by then officially titled Loiter Squad, was finally confirmed as a 15-minute live action show composed of various sketches, man on the street segments, pranks, and music made by Odd Future.
