The Fuccons (known as Oh! Mikey in Japan) is a series of comedy shorts created by Yoshimasa Ishibashi. The series is centered on Mikey Fuccon, an 8-year-old boy who has relocated from the United States to Japan with his parents, James and Barbara. All characters are played by mannequins filmed in real-life locations, with tons of Black Comedy and Surreal Humor to amp up its Uncanny Valley.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The series originated from Ishibashi's surreal late-night comedy sketch show, Vermilion Pleasure Night, where it aired in three parts: The Fuccon Family, The Fuccon Family Part 2, and New Fuccon Family. The series became so popular it was screened in several film festivals and later received its own Spin-Off title. On TV Tokyo, The Fuccons aired for 8 seasons from 2002 to 2005, with four Direct-to-DVD releases (including the 2007 film Oh! Mikey Fever). While the series has not received new episodes since 2010, it still continues to air in Japan as late-night bumpers to fill up time. The characters have also appeared in many product commercials, including Sapporo Beer and Mouse Computer.ADV Films licensed seasons 1-4 in 2004 (including the sketches from Vermilion Pleasure Night) and broadcast it on Anime Network. It also aired on G4 as part of the G4's Late Night Peep Show.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Abusive Parents | |
| The Fuccons / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Depending on the episode, James and Barbara can be straight-up abusive towards Mikey, even though it's Played for Laughs. The Kawakitas aren't any better than the Fuccons, especially since they are more nihilistic than the latter due to their Perpetual Poverty. In one episode, Mamoru lets his 8-year-old son Satoru take a swig of alcohol. | |
