BURBANK,
Calif., Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired by
the age-old tradition of settling things with your best friends,
the game comes to life through the shenanigans of pals Rock, Paper
and Scissors in Nickelodeon's new animated series Rock Paper
Scissors, premiering Monday, February
12, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. (ET/PT)
on Nickelodeon. As the first short picked up for series from
Nickelodeon's Intergalactic Shorts Program, new episodes will
continue to air weekdays at 5:30 p.m.
(ET/PT) and internationally later in the month.
In Rock Paper Scissors, titular characters, Rock, Paper
and Scissors, are a trio of best friends and roommates who
lovingly compete over everything in hilarious but mostly wildly
absurd ways. Throughout season one, the trio will go to extremes
playing hide-and-seek around the world, running from the birthday
police, defending the world from an alien invasion, going
head-to-head with the Rat Bros and more.
Nickelodeon's brand-new animated comedy stars Ron Funches (Trolls, Trolls Band
Together) as Rock, the member of the trio with the biggest
heart and moral compass; Thomas
Lennon (Zoey 102, 17 Again, Reno 911!)
as Paper, the wannabe intellectual who dreams of being a famous
inventor; and Carlos Alazraqui
(Rocko's Modern Life, Reno 911!) as Scissors, who
acts overly confident and always wants to be cool. The series also
stars Melissa Villaseñor (Saturday Night Live) as Pencil,
the trio's incredibly smart neighbor down the hall and Eddie Pepitone (The Muppets, Old
School) as Lou, the angry landlord, who is also a garbage
can.
Ahead of the series launch, viewers can catch an exclusive look
at the Rock Paper Scissors Intergalactic Short, "TV Time,"
during the Nickelodeon NFL Nickmas Game on Monday, December 25 at 1:00 p.m. PT / 4:00 p.m.
ET on Nickelodeon, where the trio go from fighting over what
to watch on TV to being the stars of a successful Broadway
musical.
Originally launched in 2019 as a short, Rock Paper
Scissors was greenlit for series from Nickelodeon's
Intergalactic Shorts Program. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation,
the original Rock Paper Scissors short and series
are created, written and executive produced by Kyle
Stegina (Robot Chicken) and Josh
Lehrman (Robot Chicken), with Conrad
Vernon (Sausage Party) and Bob Boyle (The
Fairly OddParents) serving as executive producers on the
series. Development is overseen by Nickelodeon Animation's
Kari Kim, Vice President of
Animation Development and Daniel
Wineman, Vice President of Original Animation Development.
The series is overseen by Executive in Charge, Jason Oliveri.
For more Rock Paper Scissors, follow the trio on the
Nicktoons YouTube channel. In addition to hysterical shorts
and clips, full episodes are available to watch now, including "The
Birthday Police" and "Paper's Big Lie."
