Line 4:
''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.
Line 27:
* [[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 39:
{{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 Withwith 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 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 Withwith 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.
