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.

Line 20:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Sergei, who wants to kill all of "Jon"'s loved ones and drive him insane because it's "more fun" than just killing him.
* [[Badass Decay]]: Deliberately invoked. Yvgeny is no longer nearly as dangerous in season 2 when [[Knight of Cerebus|his brother Sergei]] takes the reigns as antagonist.
** He once again [[Takes a Level In Badass]] when his brother convinces him to use [[The Power of Acting]] to murder people under the guise of living out the character of train robber Igor Pachenko. When he turns out his [[Source Music|soundtrack]] and starts saying his lines, ''[[Not -So -Harmless Villain|someone is about to get strangled.]]''
* [[Black Best Friend]]: Charlie, an affable old black man with a similar sense of humor to Jon, becomes his best friend for a while in an episode of season 3. {{spoiler|He soon dies of old age, though.}}
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Jon throughout the second season.
Line 54:
* [[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.}}
* [[Papa Wolf]]: One of the few positive traits John has, he truly does love his son. So much so {{spoiler|that he threatens Sergi when Sergi vows to go after him next.}}
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: The show parodies the hell out of this. For the first season, Jon's black mask and modulated voice are ridiculously conspicuous by themselves, in a "why do you even bother?" sort of way. Not only this, but as a celebrity with a reality show, witness relocation becomes ''meaningless'', which ''[[Title Drop|Delocated]]'' [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]]. His ex-wife and son soon ended up taking off their masks as they had become pointless, but Jon kept his and flaunted it everywhere as the face of his fame. Season two added the Jon decoy program which flooded New York with masked decoys so that Jon would be harder to snipe in public, which would be a more effective solution if only Jon [[Overly Long Gag|didn't constantly hang out in the same places]]. This became a literally ''paper'' thin disguise when Jon decided to wear a paper bag over his head as a disguise during the stand-up comedy contest, but then took off the bag in front of Yvgeny. [[Harmless Villain|Not that Yvgeny was all that dangerous]] [[Badass Decay|anymore]].
* [[The Parody]]: Reality shows.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Jon gets possibly the most epic one in Season 3 episode 5 ending with "I hope the Mirminsky does all of us a favor and finally kills you!"
* [[The Reveal]]: Yvgeny in the pilot.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Jon ''loves'' sandwiches, so much that it gets him in trouble.
Line 64:
* [[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 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 [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.
* [[Wham Episode]]: {{spoiler|The season three finale, during an interview for a talk show. Sergei stages an escape and manages to take John to an isolated area intending to kill him nice and slow. The police manage to find the warehouse but by the time they bust in, Sergei and Yvgeny have escaped with John.}}
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Yvgeny, who just can't seem to make his [[Dad/Mafiya|Mafiya]] happy.
** Hilariously averted when Sergei confesses to Papa that he thought about killing him once. Papa then congratulates Sergei, saying that he would have been disappointed if he '''hadn't''' thought about killing him.
