The “Mike Tyson Mysteries” was my favorite trailer coming out of the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con. The show has the look of “Scooby-doo, Where Are You” with the modern comedic spin of shows like “The Venture Bros.”, “Archer”, and “Sea Lab 2021” . The cast of characters consists of a ghost named The Marquess of Queensberry played by Jim Rash, a young Asian girl played by Rachel Ramras, a foul mouthed alcoholic pigeon played by Norm MacDonald and of course Mike Tyson played by himself. During the trailer I knew I was hooked when Marquess of Queensberry asks Mike Tyson why he is smiling:
Marquess of Queensberry, “Michael, why are you smiling?”
Mike Tyson, “Because now I know what I have to do. I’m going to use my fists, to beat the shit out of chupacabra. The only thing I haven’t never beaten the shit out of yet.”
For the full effect of Mike Tyson’s fist pounding comedic timing, check out the trailer below. “Mike Tyson Mysteries” will premiere this fall on Cartoon Network’s [Adult Swim]. Don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments or on Twitter @Bigshinyrobot & @MarkAvo.
