Daniel Tosh is trying to get as far away from his rape joke as possible.

After apologizing for making a female audience member the subject of his joke about rape last Friday, the comedian reportedly asked editors and producers to remove any reference of rape from the pilot episode of his new series, Brickleberry, according to Rumorfix.

The trouble is…that's what most of the pilot is about, a source told the site.

Tosh reportedly gave the crew 24 hours to make those changes before the animated series is shown at Comic-Con Friday night in San Diego.

The Tosh.0 star's camp has yet to return requests for comment.
