So there may be a 1 in 50 million chance that the title will be a South Park Redux or South Park Superheroes, right? Good, so Ted are you saying there is a chance for one of these? These themes are still in the running.
I'm thinking either Robot Chicken as the creators would want to be all in and involved. Have many vehicles to help promote. Nerdy as shit. Or maybe something Sega/Nintendo flavored - a cornucopia of hits.
Quoted from jonnyo:There will be no miracles.
But, will the revolution be televised?

Everything in Robot Chicken is a parody of an existing property. You can get away with parody on a TV show...but for a licensed product might be a bit of a legal nightmare.

Obligatory

Fair point. I don't get that law. Ok to sell commercial time for content that is a parody of an existing property, but not a product. But then again, how did weird Al get past this?
Ask Seth Green next you see him. Anyone ever look at the list of celebrities that have helped write and provide voice for these skits? Impressive.

Weird Al got permission from the original artists.

Quoted from tricky4815:Doctor Who
This one makes a lot of sense to me too. Theme alone is never enough to sell a pin, but a Dr Who themed pin would make for a great selection of one to redo 
Quoted from Xerico:Weird Al got permission from the original artists.
From what I understand it was as a courtesy more than anything and Amish Paradise was famously done without Coolio's permission or blessing.
The Big Bang Theory

Based on the article below, Weird Al was under the impression that he had permission.
But to your point, it is more of a courtesy since it is Parody.

was listening the the pinheadz pinball podcast episode 3 today and they interviewed Kevin and clues were - modern theme, licensed theme, and he made reference to die hard could be a real cool theme. He also hasn't seen alien so doubt that would be on cards. Diehard makes sense as could have a few missions and the series is still fairly recent and bruce gives some good humour as well.
guessing spfxted to say: NO
Though, my hearing and memory are bad, if I heard correctly, the licence holder wants to be involved in the development; and, a principle person too.
All these old licenses that are brought up, don't fit.
Alien---No
Die Hard---No
Quoted from swinks:uessing spfxted to say: NO
Ottawa, ON
Quoted from Whysnow:Why the hell is Ted the one that gets to say no to everything?
It's easy!....try it... 
Quoted from sensfreak:Halloween or A Nightmare Before Christmas would be good themes as well.
No and no. sorry.
Quoted from spfxted:No and no. sorry.
But would you tell us if we got it right?
All I can say is that from my understanding it has been mentioned before in one of the various SkitB threads.
Quoted from navajas:Over beers with Ted last night he spilled the beans: It's Deadly Spawn.
no
Quoted from navajas:Over beers with Ted last night he spilled the beans: It's Deadly Spawn.
Correct, no.....BUT, he could have the rights for free!
Bill & Teds Excellent adventure, Pee Wee or Robot Chicken. Meets the criteria for people who would want maximum involvement and promote it. Do I hear a no to all 3 Ted?

Please not this.
I would have to buy it
Ted hasn't said "no" to any of these suggestions yet:
- Beavis & Butthead
- The Muppets
- Robot Chicken
- Weird Al
- Dr. Who
Dr. Who would make sense as the cast members have been linked to pinball in the past. Check it out:
However, one of the big hints is that the license holder will be more participative in the process, in which case the other suggestions might be a bit more likely.
Quoted from badbilly27:Bill & Teds Excellent adventure, Pee Wee
Quoted from scott_freeman:The Big Bang Theory
Quoted from sensfreak:Pee Wee could be cool.
These were all given a big "no" earlier in the thread.
Quoted from underlord:It is...supposedly.
It better be…….
Quoted from PinB:- Beavis & Butthead
- The Muppets
- Robot Chicken
- Weird Al
- Dr. Who
No
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Fairly certain it will be the Walking Dead. Don't deny it!
I WILL deny it....NO! 
If anyone did more than a one off of a big bang theory pin then they would lose their ass. that has to be one of the worst ideas i have heard. No way SKITB does an awesome theme like PREDATOR then goes on to that bag of shit theme. I would laugh my pinballs off if that happens. I also would laugh at the assclown who did a one off of big bang theory pin.
