Mike Tyson Mysteries

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?

Mike Tyson Mysteries is one of the silliest shows on television. Adult Swim is really the only channel that could get away with broadcasting it. The whole show is essentially a parody of Scooby Doo. The characters are all just a random crew composed of a ghost, an alcoholic pigeon, Mike Tyson and his adopted teenage daughter. Its really funny watching Tyson's stupid character throughout the series and his voice acting is terrible but it works. Pigeon, who is voiced by Norm MacDonald, is also a very funny character and is my personal favorite. The show is funny and I've enjoyed watching the whole season. The show is already renewed for a second season and I'm sure I'll be tuning in. If you are a fan of any Adult Swim shows, chances are that you will enjoy this one as well.

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.

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.

Love this show, so funny and unpredictable. Mike is hilarious! I really like his little clips at the end of the episodes. I hope they make more episodes cause it's a cool show.
