- “Sex Swing is the story of four bandmates, battling against all odds to make their way in the world of music and beyond with little to no regard for what’s come before or what will come after.”

Sex Swing: The Animated Adventures or simply known as just Sex Swing was Funhaus and Rooster Teeth's 2D animated TV Web series based on the official non-official rock band of Funhaus: Sex Swing. It was a series following the exploits of the titular rock n' roll group Sex Swing, released on February 18, 2017 starring Adam Kovic, Bruce Greene, James Willems, Lawrence Sonntag and former employee Joel Rubin.
On July 1, 2016 at RTX 2016, it was announced that Sex Swing The Animated Series was in production. The show premiered on Rooster Teeth's website on February 18, 2017 and aired 6 episodes before the show was cancelled on May 5, 2017.[1][2][3]
Origin[]
In Open Haus #9, Funhaus was asked to think of names for a 80s rock band and its members. Thus, 'Sex Swing' was born. Later two Funhaus Shorts were made about Sex Swing, sponsored by the video game Rock Band 4. Sex Swing has got its own merchandise on the Rooster Teeth store.
On February 13, 2017, Rooster Teeth premiered the teaser trailer for their upcoming animated series titled Sex Swing featuring members of their Funhaus division based on a recurring joke in their videos where they portray a fictional band of the same name.[4]
