The Thinking Cap is a Robloxian comedy series that debuted on June 26, 2017 on AAK Network , hosted by AwesomeAlexK. It pokes fun at many real-life and Roblox events and celebrities in the style of a satirical talk show. The show was initially set to premiere on the channel's Greenex late night block, but since AAKN itself needed a debut original show, that plan was changed. The show is currently the only AAKN show to carry a "13" rating.
Premise
AwesomeAlexK, nicknamed "The Thinking Cap" due to his outfit, is depicted as a desperate-for-attention, insecure, shy person who later finds out his talent and mind. He finds out that he entertains many viewers, so he becomes a confident comedian later in the series.
The show usually starts in about a 5-10 minute monologue where AwesomeAlexK begins by describing what happened on the day, then continuing to poke fun at celebrities or people in general. After the monologue, Alex continues on an inside look on current events. Near the end, Alex goes home and watches TV (which viewers can see what he is watching) and then makes comments. The show usually ends in a farewell and blessing to the viewers.
It currently has one season with eight episodes. On July 12, 2017, AAK Network renewed the show for a second season.
Production
The original episode/concept of the show, known as "The Second Try," was removed and the shows recommended that the show not be aired on AAKN due to an offensive joke about Obama and Trumpblox. The producers made another pilot of the show to avoid controversy.
The show is filmed at the AAK studios in Bloxburg City and is produced by AAK Corporation.
In 2022, the show was renewed for a third season.
The AAK Corporation Financial Crisis on April 10, 2023 led the show's production to be paused until the financial crisis is resolved.
