Viewers who've been watching the second season of Nick Swardson's Comedy Central sketch comedy series "Nick Swardson's Pretend Time" might have noticed the subject matter is getting even more over the top -- or "aggressive," as he puts it.
"I just wanted to make this season as aggressive as possible and not leave anything on the table, just put everything out there," he says.
The first two episodes featured a teen who mistakes a bowel movement for a baby, an infomercial product that aids in autoeroticism, and zombie sex. Another skit in tonight's episode (featuring guest star Michael Rosenbaum) suggests the season will continue in the same vein.

Swardson talked to TheWrap about his favorite sketches -- including a fan-favorite he says Comedy Central killed -- "Bucky Larson," his summer movie that took a drubbing from critics and the box office, and his future movie plans. He also revealed a beast of an upcoming guest.
Have there been any sketches or characters you've done so far that you'd want to spin-off into a show? I'm asking because I want to see a "Wheelchair Cat" show.
(Laughing) I would love to do a 'Wheelchair Cat' show. Yeah, I mean, I really wanted to do a Gay Robot show. But in terms of this season, yeah, there are characters that are really fun to play. Like, I like playing that "Baby Not from Booty" character.
Will we see her again this season?
No, unfortunately, you will not.

What about Gay Robot? Will he pop up?
Gay Robot will not be coming back this season … Gay Robot, I had written a four-part mystery. And the network killed it, and then I got really upset. And they said they wanted me to write something else, and I said, 'No, I'm doing that, or I'm not doing it.' So ...
So you had to scrap it altogether, then?
Yeah, I mean, I think they assumed I was going to write something (else), and I just didn't.
Why did they kill it? I mean, they've seen it before, obviously. What was the issue?
I don't know, I mean, I thought it was, it was really funny, I was really surprised. The mystery was called "Gay Robot and the Curse of the Haunted Jockstrap." I wrote it and I put a lot of work into it …
And did you even get to film any of it?
No, they killed the script.
Is it something you might do for Funny or Die or something?
Gay Robot is not an easy thing to do. It takes like three people to maneuver him, it takes a guy in the suit.
