History WesternAnimation / StrokerAndHoop

The characters were mostly GenreBlind, 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.

-->'''Tio:''' (In Spanish) Then we'll kill you.
-->'''Henchman:''' (In Spanish) After we cut your balls off and feed them to you.
-->'''Double-Wide:''' (In Spanish) I sure wish I didn't know Spanish.

* CliffHanger[=/=]LeftHanging[=/=]NoEnding: [[spoiler: 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 WordOfGod 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]]

-->'''Narrator''': And that, my friends, is the story of how Stroker saved Christmas. Now, it took old Stroker a few years to get over losing the lottery, and then figure out this was a happy ending. But that's the funny thing about happy endings. They're not about getting richer. They're about growing older, and getting to share another year with the ones you love. ''(A man approaches and grabs the poor turkey around the neck)'' Wait! What the hell? No! No, I want to live! Dear God! Please, don't kill me! ''(He is dragged offscreen and utters a BigNo before being killed)''

Stroker ([[Series/{{Delocated}} 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.

* HeadBlast: In the episode "Just Voodoo It (aka, For Whom The Bear Tolls)", before rushing in to face a horde of zombies, Double-Wide wire's C.A.R.R.'s AI to a shotgun mounted on a helmet that he wears into the fray. When C.A.R.R. starts firing the gun, however, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Double-Wide remembers guns have kickback.]]
