Tropical Cop Tales

People seem to forget that Adult Swim is a hot bed for psychedelic programming. It's meant to be watched high out of your mind. This show is primarily focused on its imagery, rather than primarily focusing on plot and even lines. The "acting" is a parody of movie and TV tropes, which is why it's so goofy, shot so cinematically, and consists of literal gibberish and alliteration. It's also super political, and makes fun of political situations with more goofiness.

Y'know how people say one should watch certain shows past the pilot? Well, this is a prime example of one of those shows, which is another play on tropes. The first episode is even aptly named in order to give the viewer an idea of the ridiculousness. Anyone that reviews this negatively doesn't understand what a performance piece this show is. You can't watch this without an altered perspective. I recommend watching it with your friend Lucy. It'll make sense when you do.

Clearly this show isn't for everyone, or even 10% of the world, but if you loved The Greasy Strangler, you will love this.

Strangler is one of my favourite movies, so this is just more amazing madness to enjoy.

I didn't really care for Hosking's second film (An Evening with Beverly Luff Lynn) because I thought it was a little slow, and watered down. Tropical Cop Tales is neither. It's insane (sometimes even crazier than Strangler) and fast paced.

Watch the trailer on YouTube, if you think it looks bad, you will definitely hate it. Anyone who is a heathen like me will love it.

Found out about this show by meeting one of the cast members on a flight to Atlanta before it came out. I really enjoy the fact that they are stepping out of the lines of the typical live action show. I'm going to keep watching and keep laughing oh and not worry too much about the stories behind everything. It's even better when you're stoned... LoL

Sure there's no real plot... Sure it's like you're actually in a scary dream. But trust me... If you start watching an episode, you will not turn it off until it's over. Anyone putting it down just doesn't get it. It's that simple! :)

The first few episodes I saw made me say wtf so many times, but then I did a marathon and watched all 10 episodes in order, not once, but twice. After two times through, I love this show!! There are still a couple wtfs but it makes way more sense, and is just hysterical. The goofy songs/tunes get stuck in my head and make me love it more!!
