Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} {{quote\| ''What happens when you take a family from the Witness Protection Program, move them to New York City, and give them their own reality show?'' }} ''[[Delocated]]'' is a live action [[Adult Swim]] show about a man in the [[Witness Protection]] Program who's starring in his own [[Reality Show]]. He's targeted by a [[Acceptable Targets\|Russian]] stand-up comedian/hit man. Jon wears a mask all the time and uses a voice harmonizer, and he expects his family to do the same. The entire show and premise are chock-full of absurd [[Fridge Logic]], likely entirely intentional. The [[Real Life]] show produced by PFFR, which also produced ''[[The Heart, She Holler ~~(TV)~~\|The Heart She Holler]]'', ''[[Wonder Showzen]]'', and ''[[Xavier ~~Renegade Angel (Animation)\|Xavier~~: Renegade Angel]].'' Unlike their previous shows, ''Delocated'' isn't based on [[Black Humor]]; rather, it, like ''[[The Office]]'', uses [[Deadpan Snarker\|deadpan]] humor. It also has no CGI mixed in with the Live Action, which is odd for a show on the [[Cartoon Network]]. Its [[Pilot]] premiered on [[April Fools' Day]] in 2008, which confused or pissed off some people who were expecting ''[[The Boondocks]]''. Its first season ran in 2009 with six episodes, a second in 2010 with 12 episodes, and a third with ten episodes in 2012. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~'''This show provides examples of the following tropes:'''~~ * [[Actor Allusion]]: In addition to being a hitman, Yvgeny wants to be a stand-up comic. Eugene Mirman is also well known for his stand-up acts. ** "Jon" has "David" wear a curly blonde wig in Season 3 Episode 4, as part of a what was supposed to be a coming of age camping trip. The blonde wig looks very similar to the wig that "David's" actor, Jacob Kogan, wore in another PFFR production, [[Wonder Showzen]]. Line 27 ⟶ 25: * [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: The ending of season 2, episode 2. ** Season 3 isn't much better. * {{spoiler\|[[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Mighty Joe Jon, The Black Blonde goes to some depraved and blatantly illegal lengths to improve the show's ratings. [[Even Evil Has Standards\|Sergei]] ends up [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch\|killing him for it]] at the end of season 2.}} * [[Crapsack World]]: Apparently, no one objects to giving an hit man a show, or arranging for more murders to get more ratings. * [[The Danza]]: The creator, producer, writer, and lead actor, Jon Glaser, plays Jon and Mishka. Line 37 ⟶ 35: * [[The Faceless]]: Everyone in the pilot, but later just Jon. Soon transcended in that Jon's ''ski mask itself'' has become the face of his fame. * [[Hypocritical Humor]]: In the episode "David's Girlfriend", David runs away with a girl from the Mirminsky family. Mighty Joe Jon, The Black Blonde comes up with the idea to hire Hollywood writers to think of places that they might have gone. Jon eventually angrily dismisses the writers. {{quote\| '''Jon:''' "This isn't a Hollywood movie, this is life! I don't need a bunch of writers coming up with fake lines, I need someone to [[Ransom\|GIVE ME BACK MY SON!"]]}} * [[Jerkass]]:Jon, who cares nothing for his family or girlfriends saftey and only for his popularity. ** Jon shows [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold\|he's not completely heartless on occasion.]] Mighty Joe Jon, The Black Blond is a worse jerkass in any case, as shown in the season 2 finale. He also does honestly love his son. * [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch]]:{{spoiler\|While it was supposed to scare Jon who was already at a low point, it was EXTREMELY satisfying to see Mighty Joe Jon, The Black Blonde get shot in the Season 2 finale, especially after he manipulated Kim's ex-husband into trying to win her back and actually made a reality show out of Jon being in a coma. And that's not counting all the other crap he's done this season.}} * {{spoiler\|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Susan and Mighty Joe John in season 2}}. * [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Sergei in his season 2 introduction makes the show's tone much darker. Though more like a darker shade of [[Black Comedy]] as the show didn't actually cease being one. Line 50 ⟶ 48: ** Season 3 pretty much turns to [[Up to Eleven]]. * [[Mushroom Samba]] {{quote\| '''Jon''': The suicide pills turned out to be Ecstasy.}} * [["No Respect" Guy]]: Jon. Then again he is a [[Jerkass]]. * [[Only Sane Man]]: Kim has the patience of a saint. {{spoiler\|Her patience runs out when at the end of season 2 when Jon emphatically tells her that he'll never marry.}} Line 61 ⟶ 59: * [[Running Gag]]: An in-universe example, Yvgeny's standup act consists entirely of jokes about vodka (but his audience never seems to care). This is [[Lampshaded]] by both Sergei and Jon. ** At one point, he decides he needs some "fresh material" for his act. Later in the episode, we see him with what appears to be a [[Completely Missing the Point\|vodka dummy]]. {{quote\| '''Mighty Joe Jon, The Black Blonde:''' "I don't know, Yvgeny, I mean...just keep doing vodka jokes, I guess. It never [[Overused Running Gag\|gets old]]."}} * [[Sex God]]: The Glaze, Jon's exotic self-help guru from Season 3. * [[Sleepwalking]]: Sleep''cooking'', to be precise. Jon becomes a master TV chef while non-awake in the episode "Midnight Munchingtons." * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: It's Yvgeny, not Yevgeny. * [[Spin-Off]]: Both Susan and Yvgeny get (a fictional) one. * [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: The song in Jon and Rob's "Street Stretch" infomercial sounds EXACTLY like "Freeze Frame" by the J. Geils Band. * [[Totally Radical]]: Jon sometimes talks in a manner used by nobody else, even in [https://web.archive.org/web/20091204035540/http://video.adultswim.com/delocated/stay-out-of-dad-city.html serious situations]. * [[The Un-Reveal]]: Jon's face in the season one finale was blurred when he took off his mask. * [[The Vamp]]: Susan. She actually seemed more sympathetic at first because Jon was such a [[Jerkass\|jackass]]. But as the series progressed, she proved she could be at least as petty and glib as Jon.
