I know this is supposed to be movie recommendations but...

[DarthSpartan 2]

There is a T.V. show called "Mike Tyson Mysteries". That alone should make you want to watch how awesomely terrible this show is, but if it's not enough here are a few more parts to the story...

1. MIke Tyson receives mysteries via the carrier pigeons he raises.

2. his crew consists of

a. the ghost of a mid 19th century aristocrat

b. his adopted teenage asian daughter

c. a man that has been turned into a carrier pigeon (voiced by Norm Mcdonald)

3. the first episode involves

a. Cormac McCarthy

b. Chupacabras

c. Centaurs

 

 

If ever there was a show that would justify a deviation from the established premise of the podcast, that show is Mike Tyson Mysteries.

It's Adult Swim, they kind of have a lock on surreal cartoons. I don't see this happening.

Especially since

A. Paul Scheer has worked with Adult Swim ("NTSF:SD:SUV::"), and while he may not work for them anymore, he might not want to burn the bridge, and

B. Being weird and insane is the whole point. I mean, it's a mystery show starring Mike Tyson; the people making it knew what they were doing.

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

If we were to dive into TV territory, I could really go for some of the crazier ripped-from-the-headlines mash-up episodes of SVU. The show's dumber than shit to begin with, but when they combine two unrelated scandals into one big mess, it's usually gold. Also, I'm always amused when Ice-T or whoever has to explain some internet porn thing every three episodes or so, like these top cops never retain any knowledge they gained from previous episodes.

If they start covering t.v. they dont get to do anything until they cover every season of CSI. It's pretty outstanding how terrible the writing is.

[sillstaw 414]

I'd be tempted to recommend just about any season of "American Horror Story," but that would probably require me to start watching the show again, and words cannot express how much I don't want to do that.

I didn't realize it was from Adult Swim, that changes how I look at the show lol. I think it could still make for a great episode though!

Hell, let's just go straight for the worst of the worst and do CSI: Cyber.

I can't imagine it's going to be as hilarious as the time some kid on "Law & Order: SVU" was made to say with a straight face, "

What makes it even better is that you just know that older folks who watch these shows earnestly are probably out right now horrifying their families with tales of teens viraling bracelet parties after recreating murders from GTAV.

I don't know, I believe in the 2nd episode of Cyber an actual adult playing a detective was made to say, 'That makes this computer an accomplice to murder!'

You just know that if they bring that computer in in the first twenty minutes though, there's no way that the computer did it!

Classic Law & Order misdirect! The true culprit was the Nest Thermostat. Spoilers!

And how about when the cops come to question someone, the people NEVER stop what they're doing to just answer questions. They literally can't stop working for two minutes. If they're an artist, they're painting. If they're a construction foreman, they're walking around a site and barking out orders. If they're a surgeon and they're doing a heart transplant, they're doing it WHILE being a snarky asshole to Chris Meloni or whoever.

I think it's a distant cousin to Sorkin's walk-and-talk. Plus they think the audience are idiots and wont understand that someone is a construction site foreman unless he's holding a giant blueprint and screaming at people to reinforce girders.

 

I will fully admit that I am an OG Law & Order addict.

One of the most magical moments of Law and Order I can remember is when Elizabeth Rohm's character is getting fired from being an ADA and out of fucking nowhere she throws out the line "is this because i'm a lesbian?"

[Ofcoursemyhorse 1043]

Also old school Chris Noth episodes are so over the top politically incorrect it's almost unbelievable.

The show has been around in some way, shape, or form since about the 1870s, so that doesn't surprise me at all

Yeah, as I recall that infuriated just about everyone. They had never once hinted that she was gay, and her departing line on the show is basically, 'PS I'M GAY PEACE OUT'.

Maybe comedy isn't for you.

Whew!! thanks for clearing that up for me! i've been in this dazed stupor for days now, just waiting, hoping, someone could tell me if i should be laughing at the things i laugh at! i'll admit, it's been a dark time for me lately, but thanks to your illumination i can now see i have terrible taste. five simple words freeing me from years of misconceptions on comedy. you are basically a modern day Martin Luther King Jr. Please spread your deep knowledge of comedy and other peoples tastes to other forums!

My favorite moment in these shows is:

 

Wife: Tommy is dead?! Oh my god [slight shock]

 

Detective: Do you know anybody who would want him dead?

 

Wife: No. Everybody loved him!....But...there was this thing last week"

 

Detective: What happened last week?

 

Wife: I'm sure it's nothing.

 

Detective: Please, anything could help the investigation no matter how small.

 

Wife: Well, this woman showed up to our house with a gun and swore she would kill him...Do you think that has something to do with this?

 

And of course it doesn't because the murderer was Tommy's best friend who was the first person interviewed. He always loved the wife and was sick of Tommy's philandering.

GUYS. I just turned my TV on with the intention of watching something else, but SVU was on, and a 12-year-old kid was getting locked up, a Rabbi was saying something to Chris Meloni, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

 

Turns out that the kid is being accused of rape. I know, right? Anyway, TV is being blamed, as when he's asked in court what he likes to watch, he says "I watch whatever's on, but I really like the ten o'clock stuff, on cable. The women look really good and there's sex, and they really like being banged behind dumpsters" or something along those lines. But before and after that, they're all "He's just a stupid fucking kid, doesn't know the difference between what's real and what's on TV, so he thinks it's okay to stick his dick in anything he wants. If only he'd watch SVU, which is 100% accurate in it's portrayal of controversial issues...".

 

Okay, they've come to an agreement that the media didn't brainwash the kid into raping the four OTHER kids. Also, there's a plug for Jenna Jameson's book.

 

This fuckin' show...
