Mike Tyson Mysteries Releases Trailer at Comic-Con: Cartoon Fans Collectively Laugh, Cry, Orgasm

By now you should be aware (thanks to stories here, here, here, here, here, and here) that a forthcoming animated show entitled Mike Tyson Mysteries will feature the former heavyweight champ traveling around in a van solving crimes with the help of a magical tattoo, a talking pigeon, and the best gloves in the history of boxing.

Seriously, you had us all at “Mike Tyson Mysteries.” Or possibly just the “Mike Tyson” part.

Then, on Saturday, a trailer was released at Comic-Con that absolutely killed – to the surprise of no one, and the delight of everyone. As many suspected, the show is animated as if it were a ‘70s cartoon, like Scooby-Doo, but with much more swearing & crude dialogue, and a lot less political correctness. Oh, and Mike Fucking Tyson.

In fact, the funny clip may have been helped by the fact that Tyson himself, sitting on the panel, was a treasure trove of unintentionally-hilarious lines.

Alongside series producer Hugh Davidson and cast-members Jim Rash and Rachel Ramras (and moderator Rob Corddry) Tyson remarked that he only just realized his adopted daughter on the show is Korean and not Chinese, randomly adding that he “never adopted a Chinese girl in real life.”

The Champ also interrupted Rash’s answer to a question about voice acting to point out an audience member that looked like Jerry Garcia, and then proceeded to talk about a Garcia documentary he watched.

“And that’s the end of my answer,” Rash quipped, to raucous laughter.

Tyson also commented on being happy to no longer box: “I’m glad I don’t have to punch people no more. God, that was stressful,” he said. “That’s why I don’t like doing it. I got punched enough, too. You [get] hit with the lawsuits afterward. You knock the guy out quick [and] you’re so geeked up, you hit somebody else, you’ve got an officer involved, and the next thing you know you’ve got a lawyer, you’ve got a jury … you’ve got a witness involved with your life.”

“Someone recorded that last bit, right?” Davidson cracked.

Tyson said, in addition to acting, writing for the show would “be beautiful, but you’d have to spell.”

The panel naturally ended with a standing ovation.

Mike Tyson Mysteries also stars Norm MacDonald, and premieres this fall on Adult Swim.
