Mike Tyson Mysteries

People who don't like this show are simply taking it too seriously. Mike Tyson is intentionally portrayed as a complete moron and it's REALLY funny. Norm McDonald is also hilarious and you can tell they let him write a majority of his own lines as most of his dialogue matches what his old standup feels like.

The show's description sums it up, but it's funny as hell. What makes this show is the casting, and I'm singling out Norm MacDonald in the role he was born to play: a divorced degenerate whose ex-wife turned him into a pigeon, and now he solves mysteries. The rest of the team is comprised of Mike Tyson, Mike's adopted 18-year-old Korean daughter, and a ghost from the mid-to-late 1800's, and they're like Scooby-Doo but with more substance abuse and sad murders. This show is nonsense, but it's hilarious nonsense.

To say I went into Mike Tyson Mysteries looking for quality entertainment and laughs would be completely overstating it. Yes, I recognized immediately that this cartoon looked to be in the same vein as WB's earlier "Space Ghost" and"Harvey Birdman" while existing within a satire of Scooby Doo. I didn't even bother to read the synopsis; I just pressed Play on the Netflix button.

And from there, I proceeded to laugh, out loud and without breath, for almost 10 minutes straight.

Mike Tyson Mysteries knows exactly what it is and what it wants to be. Personally I think it's rare when you have a vision in mind and then you actually see it evolve from conception to completion with it being exactly as you had intended. I suspect that the creators of MTM might have surpassed even their expectations.

MTM is absurd, irreverent, ridiculous and hilarious. It's everything I wanted it to be and it's now shot to the top of my list as one of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen in my 48 years on the planet.

I'm not going to discuss the animation, plots or voice acting or even bother to tell you who's in it, besides Mike Tyson.

Sometimes you have to just press Play for yourself.

When I heard of this show I knew I needed to see it. It's a spoof of Hanna-Barbera shows like Scooby Doo but this one starring Mike Tyson himself. And it is absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible.

Mike Tyson plays himself but as a guy who drives around in his Mystery Mobile along with his adopted Asian daughter, a gay ghost and a talking pigeon solving mysteries. That right there was enough for me to take notice but then I watched the first episode and couldn't stop giggling.

Mike of course is played like an idiot but one that means well and wants to help people. He can't speak properly, misunderstands everything and solves his problems by punching them.

His daughter is the voice of reason, the gay ghost provides exposition and the pigeon drinks and acts snarky. What's not to love?

I am 55 years old. I grew up on the Bugs Bunny, Road Runner Hour, Flintstones Etc. Mike Tyson Mysteries is the funniest show I have ever seen in my life! I DVR every episode and then binge watch. Mike Tyson is so good at everything in this production. Norm McDonald as "Pidgeon" is too good to be true. Adult swim is the only channel that could pull this off and they have the tiger by the tail. Kudos to all the production staff that work on this well sculpted show. Keep the episodes coming, I can not get enough.
