Chad Ochocinco to make animated appearance on "Squidbillies"

Chad Ochocinco's latest touchdown celebration might be considered a little over the top ... if it weren't in a cartoon.

The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver does his own voiceover in an upcoming episode of "Squidbillies," part of the Adult Swim late-night cartoon lineup on Cartoon Network. A clip on nbcsports.com shows Ochocinco practicing a touchdown celebration in which he is eaten by a dinosaurlike creature ... then reemerges from its rear side.

OK, he's no Meatwad, but I'd say it's a solid animated performance by Ochocinco.

The episode is set to air at midnight on July 11, which happens to be the same day Ochocinco's reality show debuts on VH1.
