TV shows where the detective has a 'cool' gimmick.

Detective, there's goo everywhere. What kind of sick son of a b**** does something like this? Oh! Sorry to interrupt! I couldn't tell you were using your vision powers to see into the future to tell if we solved the case or not. What a cool power you randomly have. Huh? We don't solve the case? We should just give up? Wait... but isn't that your production for every case? ...It is. ...Aaaaallright! You heard him boys! Lets pack it up! This man is never wrong!

What’s the MOST unhelpful detective gimmick you can think of?

[emiliosalazar]

He's not the detective we deserve or the one we need. He's the detective we get.

[kohymnLegacy]

You guys clearly haven’t seen any of these types of shows before making this skit… Otherwise you would know the genius detective has to incorrectly accuse at least 3 people before getting the right person…

[gregaze]

As someone who has seen literally all of these (Monk, Psych, The Mentalist, Numbers, Scorpion, Sherlock) the only thing missing is the part where he guesses wrong and gets pulled off the case and forbidden to work on it, only to go rogue and solve the case himself and be reunited with the police just as the murderer he discovered is about to kill him.

I love this style of cheesy comedy detectives, yall captured the weird main character weird smart orgasm perfectly.

[wolfenstein]

I'm still not convinced, how can they prove he *can't* turn into goo? Brain Closed, Case Zone.

[BlairCarlyle]

The same exactly thing happened to me when I was landing a 747 back when I was a pilot. That damn goo guy took the lives of 180 passengers that day.

[doctorduck]

All great detectives have severe hallucinations

[MobGL]

"You're the sky guy from goo high." Amazing line! 😂

[eliesundesastre]

Well that was straight up just Will Graham from Hannibal 😂

[PK-Radio]

Just like Monk, where his cool gimmick is… having crippling OCD

[zoesilver]

This is why I love Psych, it definitely plays into these tropes, but also the exaggerated "smart orgasm" is literally a goof to help his cover story

[godferbidd]

If I had cool detective gimmick powers I'd probably waste them by constantly trying to figure out where I left my keys and why I entered a room when I forgot why I entered a room. And I'd *still* probably outplay myself.

[saifuusuri]

The devil's in the details, and the devil...



Is that goo guy from Sky High!

[doctorgears]

In Psych's defense, Shawn Spencer is at least a very normal name.

Also, the editing on this is amazing.

[madmintentertainment]

the best way to nerf sherlock... give him untreated ADHD

[RaptorBum]

Pissing your pants is integral to his character growth and to being a great detective.

[VSpoodle]

My favorite is the Psych Zoom-In just in case the audience can't figure out the subject of the frame.

[McDonaldsCalifornia]

You guys capture weird genre feels and tropes on a level almost comparable to Key and Peele.

Honestly that is what makes great sketches in this genre stand out. That gift of observing these really minute details.

You guys are the Sherbert of youtube sketch comedy

[Leivve]

I think the best "gimmick" was Psych, since it was him lying through his teeth.
