{{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|The Heart She Holler]]'', ''[[Wonder Showzen]]'', and ''[[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.

* [[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 67 ⟶ 65:
* [[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.
