 In Adult Swim's Mike Tyson Mysteries, retired boxer/rapist Mike Tyson goes on adventures solving mysteries with his adopted Asian daughter, a ghost, and a pigeon voiced by Norm MacDonald. Following in the proud tradition of Adult Swim cartoons this show makes no loving sense and is pretty sweet, why aren't you nerds watching it? Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P58WJ-4PxcU

Because he's gay as hell. This is the greatest show I never knew I needed in my life, and it's already been renewed for a second season.

I feel like no one knows about this show, which is a shame because it's the best new original show Adult Swim has had in a while.

Tyson is absolutely brilliant. He brings a sincerity and playful attitude to the part that I would have never imagined him capable of.

I get to laugh at the perfect recreation of the insane as poo poo Hanna-Barbera cartoon formula and Mike probably let's off a lot of steam without accidentally killing another astronomer.

6-year plan man posted:*ahem* AS is playing it smart, hiring that Community pedigree. It actually took me a while to recognize The Dean as The Marquis since he isn't being nearly as hammy (not that that's bad imo).

I'll definitely keep following this one. Mike is surprisingly hilarious and Jim Rash is killing it and any excuse to hear Norm Macdonald is fine by me.

Last night I marathonned the first 6 episodes and found them hilarious. Not too sure how I feel about the pigeon talking about how he wants to rape the daughter and them being okay with that, but I did find the joke where the ghost felt really bad after his rape joke to be pretty funny. I was shocked at the end of the first episode when they showed actual Mike Tyson. I didn't think they'd be able to cast him in a show that mostly takes the piss out of him, I thought it was just a voice actor who sounded similar. It makes me feel much better about him as a person, even if he did murder all those astronomers.

I really can't believe it's acceptable to cast a convicted rapist and at like he's all cool and funny now. This show looks good but I'm not watching it because he's a loving rapist and that's not OK>>>

I also watched all the episodes. Count me in as a fan. It feels like with the 11 minute length, the often unresolved 'A' plots feel a lot crisper than if it was 22 minutes. But the traditional plotting makes it feels like you go a lot further than in Superjail.

They watch it because Mike Tyson is a complete goddamn psychopath.

achillesforever6 posted:Yeah it was a terrible crime for what he did 20 years ago, but he paid for his crimes and actually went to prison instead of some assholes who get away with rape or sexual assault because they are famous (see Roethlisberger, Ben). I like the show while acknowledging that Mike Tyson was also a pretty horrible human being, but he hasn't done anything horrible since the 2000s. Even Mike Tyson has acknowledged that Mike Tyson was a pretty horrible human being. He was in a terrible way up until sometime around the first Hangover movie.

Look, if he wants to deny himself of a funny show because he doesn't believe in the concept of "doing the time for doing the crime" like many Americans, then that's his call. It's a very stupid call and that attitude is very harmful for society but it's his to make.LostRook posted:Are you going to post something similar in the Girls thread? Speaking of Mike Tyson's self-awareness, are there any recordings of that one-man show he did on Broadway?

Maybe it's because I've seen too much of him and know his acting is always weird and stilted, but without being able to see his goofy smirk I don't really enjoy him. I am shocked that there's a dumb show on Adult Swim in 2015 that I like. Rick & Morty was pretty good, but other than that I stopped watching AS when Captain Murphy died in 2003.

When I heard about a cartoon about Mike Tyson solving mysteries with his pigeon, I and saw the opening credits, I assumed the pigeon didn't speak. And then he opened his beak and Norm MacDonald's voice came out . . . it was glorious.

As far as adult swim shows go 'China, IL' is also pretty cool. If you liked this show and 'Rick and Morty' you might want to check it out.

I'm pretty entertained for the most part. I almost kind of think it would be funnier without the whore, rape, porn jokes, though. Not against dirty humor or anything, but part of me is amused enough with the idea of Mike Tyson in a Hannah-Barbara cartoon without it needing any extra help to be edgy. Also, what kind of hosed up human being stars in a show where they make fun of raping his own daughter?

Drink-Mix Man posted:Also, what kind of hosed up human being stars in a show where they make fun of raping his own daughter?  This is the greatest cartoon since Rick and Morty but I am afraid they'll end up trying to cram in too many serialized elements based off the astronaut episode. In general I prefer serialized over episodic but this show is a case where I think it works best with every episode effectively being a reboot with little continuity. I'd hate to see it get Metalocalypse'd.
