Happy!	comment	Happy! is a violent dark Black Comedy/Drama series on the Syfy network, adapted from a Grant Morrison comic miniseries - Happy!. The show is headlined by Brian Taylor, one of the directors of the Crank series. The show combines that franchiseâ€™s over-the-top violence with the Buddy Cop Show formula, creating a darkly surreal world where criminals battle it out on the streets of New York and a flying horse is the guardian angel of a child.The show follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni), an alcoholic former cop turned hitman who must team up with his daughter's imaginary friend, a tiny winged unicorn named Happy (voiced by Patton Oswalt) to take down nefarious holiday-themed conspiracies and perversion of the most deranged variety. Season 1 has him tracking down a Bad Santa who has kidnapped his daughter during the Christmas season. Season 2 fast-forwards to Easter, where Nick must contend with a plot to wake The Antichrist on Easter Sunday.The show ran a total of two seasons.

But, being a Depraved Bisexual who feels more irritated and inconvenienced than threatened or violated, he just demands that the strap-on that broke off in his ass be removed and goes on about his day.

Instead of just getting homeless children or orphan children, he has Mr. Blue use Very Bad Santa to kidnap children. One said child being the Daughter of Nick. When her mother comes to see Mr. Bug, as his children show star Sonny Shine, she asks him for his help in bringing awareness to kidnapped children. He could have easily saved face, said he would pay lip service to the cause, and donated some money and she would have left without a second thought. Instead he treats her plea as a joke and suggests her daughter just ran away while acting very bizarre. This leads to the mother being very suspicious, finding his sex dungeon party, and realizing he is behind the kidnapping, leading Nick right to him.

Happy! / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: While the TV adaptation follows the original comic plot fairly closely, it adds quite a bit. Amanda and Hailey were given very little characterization in the comic, while the TV adaptation dedicates a good deal of time to both of them. Amanda even interacts with Merry, whereas the two women never met in the comic. Mr. Blue's wife and son were not present in the comic as was his sister. Smoothie was more of a standard Torture Technician in the comic. The TV adaptation bumped him up to Blue's second-in command. Mr. Bug AKA Sonny Shine was absent in the comic. Nick and Happy's excursions into Chinatown and The North Pole strip club are only present in the TV adaptation. The entire plot of the comic is covered in the first season, leaving season 2 to be entirely new content.

Anytime someone brings up to Mr. Blue that he is trafficking children, he is shown to be visibly uncomfortable. He also rants that if he only had the password he wouldn't have to do this kind of work.

Episode 3 reveals that Hailey also has one as a result of her kidnapping. Receiving an ash mark on her forehead during Catholic Mass triggers a flashback to Very Bad Santa marking her forehead so he could lobotomize her. As a result she attacks the priest who marked her and breaks his thumb. She also has a bad reaction to fruitcake.

Happy! / int_970c790a	comment	Big Bad: There are actually two, as two separate incidents cause Nick and Happy to come together. Mr. Blue is this for Nick, as he's the one who wants to know what the Dark Secret his nephew was carrying was. On Happy's side is the Bad Santa that kidnapped Hailey, as Happy was powerless to stop him and wants to get his friend back. Episode 4 reveals the Bad Santa is working for Mr. Blue, who in turn has his own boss, Sonny Shine/Mr. Bug. The implication is that the children are victims of a human trafficking group. Season 2 has its own Big Bad Ensemble: On one hand there's Sonny, trying to stoke up fear about Easter via terrorist attacks so that he can "save" it and become even richer and more famous, and on the other there's the demonic god Orcus, who has possessed Blue and is gathering power. Then, near the end of the season, we find out that Orcus has been manipulating Sonny all along via his minions (the Wishees), intending to have Sonny killed so that he can feed on the public despair.

Happy! / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Happy reenacts the ear-cutting scene from Reservoir Dogs, complete with the camera pan away from the actual deed, but he's actually tickling his captive with a feather. Several characters quote lyrics rather than come up with their own words. For example, when being interrogated by Internal Affairs, Merry quotes "Words" by Missing Persons. Very Bad Santa's credited name seems to be a riff on Bad Santa. Happy comes from the city of Zork. Nick and Happy interrupt a prostitute reenacting the bear-blowjob scene from The Shining, complete with the quick zoom in. Nick is threatened by a gangster in Chinatown who sticks a knife up Nick's nose, just like Jack Nicholson in, well... Chinatown. One of the racing horses Nick and Hailey bet on in "Tallahassee" is called Mr. Plinkett. Season 2 seems littered with homages to Phantom of the Paradise: Smoothie (and an employee of Sonny Shine in the final episode) in the black latex bunny suit moves in ways that are similar to Winslow Leach as the Phantom, in the episode "Arlo and Marie" during Merry's exposition scene we see a halftone image of Sonny Shine rotating while slowly zooming out, which is very reminiscent of the movie's opening shot with the Death Records logo being presented in the same way. Not to mention that the antagonists of both works are celebrities who gained fame and power through demonic pacts.

And the other imaginary friends play a part in taking him down. Sonny Shine is only a background character for most of the first season, until it's revealed that he's the Big Bad.

But then he met the Wishees, who helped him blackmail Dayglo Doug into retiring, and then helped him blackmail the network execs into letting him take over the Power Hour. Since then he has used the Wishees to blackmail anyone with power, enabling him to create his own little criminal empire.

Episode 6 reveals that Happy is only one of a legion of Not So Imaginary Friends in New York City, many of whom are abandoned and depressed now that their human friends have grown too old to believe in magic. Raspberry and Mr. Blue's son turn out to be kidnapping, torturing, and basically genociding the abandoned, vulnerable ones.

He beats the hell out of another bad guy with that pistol. This seems to clear the jam, because Nick finds he is able to fire again, finishing off the first guy.

Happy! / int_f909b16b	comment	Dark Secret: The recently deceased Don had a password to an apparent dark secret (involving several people screaming in pain and being covered in blood), which he gave to his nephew who was supposed to give it to Mr. Blue. However, the nephewâ€™s death leads to him trying to give it to Nick with his dying breaths, leading to the mob to start gunning for Nick, with various parties interested in bringing him to Mr. Blue or killing him to prevent exactly that. The truth is that Nick was too Genre Savvy (about how exactly that would happen) to let the nephew bribe him with a valuable secret, and then the nephew died too fast to get it out as Last Words. Too bad for Nick that the witness at the scene didn't know that and nobody will believe him after word gets out anyway. It's later revealed that it wasn't a password at all, but a demon named Orcus that has used the Scaramucci bloodline as hosts for generations.
