Mitchell/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Badass Boast: Mitchell seems to try and invoke this when talking to Deaney after finding out he was the one who paid Greta. Deaney seems... Unconvinced.

Mitchell: "She'll lie in my bed for free."

  • Designated Hero: The title character is an alcoholic slob of a cop who behaves like a complete Jerkass most of the time. Sure, he's a little more on the ball than his colleagues (only he suspects that Deaney may not have acted in self defense), but other than that he's a damn lousy cop. When a criminal tries to bribe him by sending him a prostitute, he actually sleeps with her. And then arrests her for possessing marijuana. Nice.
  • Ear Worm: The theme song.
  • Funny Aneurysm Moment: In one Mystery Science Theater 3000 segment, Joel remarks about professional golf player Frank Urban "Fuzzy" Zoeller: "What a great guy!" A few years later there was a controversy when Fuzzy Zoeller made a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods.
  • Special Effect Failure: The visible boom mike during the dinner scene; Joel helpfully points it out.
  • Squick: BABY OIL!?
