| Stroker and Hoop | comment |
An animated parody of the Buddy Cop Show, especially Starsky & Hutch. Features two semi-competent yet ineffective Private Detectives, John "Stroker" Strockmeyer, his partner Hoop Schwartz, and their self-aware robotic car, C.A.R.R.Stroker (Jon Glaser) falls short as a detective mostly due to his own short-sightedness, self-involvement and greed more than bad investigative skills. He has a young son (by his Latina ex-wife), whom he loves, even if he can't quite seem to show it properly.Hoop (Speed Levitch) is a very touchy-feely, sensitive, pacifistic sort who's dressed like a bad motivational speaker. He prefers to talk problems out rather than skip straight to the gunplay. This never works.C.A.R.R. (Paul Christie) is essentially the opposite of K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. He's a junky old beater (not quite The Alleged Car, but past his prime), he's not too smart, and lacks any really useful gadgetry other than talking and the ability to drive himself. He listens to a lot of ultra-right-wing talk shows, since he doesn't have an FM radio. He was built by Stroker's mechanic friend "Double-Wide" (who is voiced by Curtis Armstrong), whose odd private life is often helpful.Finally, they are aided by the jovial, and perhaps most competent, Coroner Rick. He is often played as a Token Black Friend to quite nearly every main character.Since the two titular characters have detective skills that are mediocre at best and generally lack decent resumes, they have to settle for taking cases for people too poor to afford more competent detectives.The characters were mostly Genre Blind, as they often failed anyway, and many a Lampshade was hung on various tropes. As far as trope use in parodies goes, this show is a great example.Canceled only after a season of 13 episodes and with no ending.The entire series is available for free viewing on the Adult Swim website | |

Not-So-Harmless Villain: Hoop's mother Rose, when wrongfully imprisoned after being framed for murder, kills an inmate who stabbed her, then fakes her suicide in order to get Coroner Rick help her escape. And when he doesn't comply, threatens to give him a "Colombian jockstrap" by holding a knife to his crotch. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: The Christmas Ghosts conspired to kill Santa after he invited them to his place for dinner (something he had never done before). They thought he was getting suspicious of their lottery scam, but it was simply because Mrs. Claus thought it'd be rude to exclude them. | |

Chekhov's Boomerang | |
| Stroker and Hoop / int_21f3e32e | comment |
Chekhov's Boomerang: one episode was set in motion by the duo buying a billboard for "Stroker and Hoop, Detectvies". In a later episode the pair lampshade that they'll have anonymity against a gang who has no idea who they are. The gang leader looks up and sees the billboard still there, still misspelled. Stroker even says he forgot they had it. | |

I'm a Humanitarian | |
| Stroker and Hoop / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: Stroker and Hoop have the misfortune to run into these three times in a row. In "Tinfoiled Again" it is revealed Stroker and Hoop's appendixes and coccyxes where stolen by a cult called the Kindhearted Cannibals, who only eat vestigial organ and generally spare their victims. They however make an exception for Stroker as he was snooping in their affairs. They also poison themselves, much to the chagrin of the two junior members who stole Stroker and Hoop's vestigial organs. In "The Rube Job" Hoop's cousin Mumu, a sheriff's deputy, has the disturbing habbit of eating the digits of pageant contestants who where murdered in fashions based the food they where named after. Stroker and Hoop understandably find this horrifying and disgusting. This turns out to be Forshadowing, as he is later revealed to a Serial Killer. As stated above, in "XXX Wife" a pair of college students are turned into cat girls by splicing them with tiger DNA, which result gaining a taste for human flesh. After they are released from their cage, they attack an investor, noting how delicious he tastes. | |

Mugged for Disguise | |
| Stroker and Hoop / int_3403abfc | comment |
As mentioned above, Stroker and Hoop mug two camera men for a disguise, with Stroker breaking a bottle on one guy's head, with the other freaking out when the first man no longer moves. He convinces them not to knock him out and risk giving him a concussion by simply pretending to be unconscious. The two proceed to waste a lot of time getting the guys out of their clothes (with the conscious guy having to loosen his belt), and Hoop insisting on putting on one's underwear. The guy they're supposed to spy on gets mad when his "camera crew" turns up almost an hour late. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Stroker and Hoop / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Many examples Played for Laughs: One time, the heroes hide from the suspect on the slanted ceiling, he walks in, sits at his desk, and calls for security to get them out of his office. A Bad Boss keeps killing his ninja mooks for random failures, only to find that he killed all of them by the time the heroes showed up. Hoop and his ninja girlfriend fight, jumping high like the wire-work in Wuxia films, and fighting on the vertical face of a building, right up until Stroker just shoots her in the back from the ground. In one episode Stroker solves the whole "Which is the real one" cliché just like you would expect someone to in Real Life: he just incapacitates both people so that the good guys can figure out which is which at their leisure, without having to worry about making a mistake (and still screwed it up). In one episode, Stroker is attempting to sneak into a facility. He knocks out the guards outside the building, and proceeds to sneak past the security guard who watches the security monitors. The security guard asks who he is, so Stroker disguises his voice (badly) in hopes of fooling him. However, the security guard reveals he was messing with Stroker, and watched him knock out the guys on the security monitors. Stroker was apparently counting on him to be asleep on the job. The security guard responds by saying he just really likes his job (and finds the urine sample chamber hilarious). As mentioned above, Stroker and Hoop mug two camera men for a disguise, with Stroker breaking a bottle on one guy's head, with the other freaking out when the first man no longer moves. He convinces them not to knock him out and risk giving him a concussion by simply pretending to be unconscious.

Reliably Unreliable Guns | |
| Stroker and Hoop / int_6163afd9 | comment |
Reliably Unreliable Guns: Combined with Accidental Aiming Skills at the start of one episode. Stroker and Hoop are held up by a Columbian drug dealer and are forced to drop their guns.. which go off, injuring both the drug dealer and his wife (who was inexplicably not present until just then). Stroker immediately lampshades it by stating he can't shoot that well when he actually aims. The death of Stroker's original partner (Jermaine Washington) subverts this. He was killed in a shootout, and it was thought his gun had jammed due to not being properly cleaned. It turns out Stroker borrowed his gun's magazine without telling him and left him without any ammo. | |

Cliffhanger/Left Hanging/No Ending: The final episode see Stroker, Hoop and Double Wide locked in C.A.R.R and dangling over a canyon via a giant magnet by a mysterious caller who gives them three guesses to name who he is. The whole episode is mostly a clip show of the season before its revealed that their captor is a minor background character who had the same voice but kept changing his appearance due to his run ins with Stroker and Hoop and their direct or indirect actions which ruined his life. Coroner Rick manages to find out who he is and shoots him. But the captor ends up landing on the switch to the magnet which drops C.A.R.R into the canyon followed by an explosion. The show ends ambiguous of the protagonists' fate. Though Word of God said if there had been a second season, the protagonists would've ended up in heaven and eventually ended up back on earth with several other people from heaven | |

Spot the Imposter | |
| Stroker and Hoop / int_9c6da41b | comment |
Spot the Imposter: Parodied when Stroker has to choose between shooting Hoop or Hoop's lookalike criminal cousin. Stroker kneecaps one of them, which is a relief to the Hoop still standing until he also gets kneecapped. Stroker reasons they can now figure out who's who at their leisure, but an anguished Hoop says he could've just asked questions only the real one would know, which Stroker concedes might've worked. In the end, they still get it wrong, with Hoop on a chain gang and his cousin riding away in C.A.R.R. However, Stroker, Double Wide, and C.A.R.R. notice him sport an evil grin, so they head back to make really sure this time about who's who. | |

RealLife | |
| Stroker and Hoop / int_a8559a9f | comment |
In one episode Stroker solves the whole "Which is the real one" cliché just like you would expect someone to in Real Life: he just incapacitates both people so that the good guys can figure out which is which at their leisure, without having to worry about making a mistake (and still screwed it up). | |

Hoop and his ninja girlfriend fight, jumping high like the wire-work in Wuxia films, and fighting on the vertical face of a building, right up until Stroker just shoots her in the back from the ground. | |

I'm Dying, Please Take My MacGuffin | |
| Stroker and Hoop / int_da650ce1 | comment |
I'm Dying, Please Take My MacGuffin: Lampshaded. A dying karate instructor entrusts the handle of a magic sword to Stroker's son Keith and warns that reuniting the handle with the pieces of the blade would be disastrous. Stroker asks why, if it's such a big deal, the sword wasn't destroyed completely, even suggesting flushing it down the toilet or something. When the sword is reassembled, it's nothing more than an over sized flashlight. Hoop, who was fighting with the villain using the sword, noted that when the sword was broken and separated centuries ago, that people in ancient China would've seen that as amazing or terrifying. Of course, when you shine the light on the dead... | |
