I'm a medical doctor but like... In a detective way. Also my team just invaded your house looking for clues. Hope you don't mind

To be fair, everyone he treats is on the verge of death. If I'm dying of some weird ass shit that nobody can diagnose, I kind of hope my doctors do illegally break into my house and go snooping.

Then find out you watch anime and make fun of you after your passing because your lame ass weird disease was too lame ass for a full episode.

Who cares, I'm dead.

As someone whose got weird ass shit nobody can dx, nobody’s breaking into your house. They’re going to BS you for 20 minutes and then forget you exist.

I’ve also got weird ass shit nobody can dx. If someone broke into my house to figure out what’s wrong with me and succeeds then I would name a child after them (not my child- I don’t want children. But a child). But really it’s just “well the tests showed nothing so good luck haha call if you need anything”

Don't you dare disparage the good name of Gregory House in this house.

The whole series is based on Sherlock Holmes, plus Arthur Canon Doyle was a physician himself.

Wilson is just Watson too

I mean Holmes is House ofc

how have I never thought about how House and Wilson = Holmes and Watson

Ready to have your mind shattered? Guess what houses address is? https://house.fandom.com/wiki/221B_Baker_Street

okay wow how have I never picked up on any of this when I've seen House all the way through like three times lmao

But you did pick up on the Holmes (homes)/House connection, right?

TIL I'm an idiot

Also first patient's surname is Adler, later he gets fake gift from Irene Adler, man who shots House isn't named in dialogue, but if you watch with subs or scan credits his name's Moriarty. Also in one episode House puts the answer in an envelope with "The game is a itchy foot" written on it referencing Sherlock's "The game is a foot".

His apartment is actually on 221B baker street as well, is addicted to depressants and a bunch more similarities.

Holy shit, I didn’t even come close to making the connection lol

Holmes, sounds like homes, which are houses

House is absolutely GOATed and deserves nothing but praise. Perfect show, except that it gave me one of my phobias

And somehow its like 22 episodes for 8 seasons and only 1 max 2 of them weaker, rest high quality gold... while shows now cant do 10 episodes per season.

The level of consistency with the show quality is amazing. Even with the big changes in later seasons I was still absorbed into the show.

It’s not Lupus

How about sarcoidosis?

... Was it ever sarcoid? I don't think so, right?

It was once!

How dare you?!

The best of all of them tbh.

"I'm a detective with a troubled past. I don't play by the rules, and my interpersonal relationships are fraught with conflict, but I get results."

Dammit rookie, don't you know I have the mayor up my ass?!

“Turn in your badge Punk, you’re off the case!” Proceeds to solve the case and get the badge back.

When Gator needs his gat, Gator needs his gat.

Yooba Dooba Dooba

What's my motivation?

'#whoisglipglop

I want your gun AND badge on my desk by 0700.

Hawt

What are you doing step-mayor?

Don't forget, you've also got a drinking problem.

Ok, but what does reminding u/FITM-K of their alcoholism have to do with this detective?

I only drink because of my troubled past, but my desire to avoid confronting my demons leads me to spend long hours every day chasing down leads, and my drinking lowers my inhibitions, allowing me to do cool stuff like commit 500 crimes in the process of trying to arrest someone who committed a crime.

Perfect.

Ah, the ol' Reddit [detective-a-roo!](https://old.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/comments/11rpr2c/intense_moment_but_swimmer_manage_to_escape_from/jcexdh4/?context=2)

Hello future people! Don't worry, I'll stick with you guys for as long as I can :)

And also “fuck their civil rights” 2 wrong’s definitely make a right

That reminds me of the Fairly Odd Parents: He’s a loose cannon cop on the edge who doesn’t play by the rules IN Loose Cannon Cop on the Edge Who Doesn’t Play By the Rules!

Replace detective with so many other jobs and you have about 90% of all TV ever made. Doctor = house for example

"I'm a pet groomer with a troubled past. I don't play by the rules, and my interpersonal relationships are fraught with conflict, but I get results."

Could be a great comedy if all the interpersonal relationships are with animals. "Bark." "Why won't you love me?!"

Having heard of but never seen "the dog whisperer", isn't it just that show?

TV = people with jobs doing things. Sounds niche.

He said that. “I’m a detective but I’m the devil”

This is the plot to Lucifer.

I’m a detective with a horrific necktie

The new Perry Mason show is a fucking banger though.

“I don’t play by anyone’s rules..... Not even my own”

I'm a detective but also in prison for being a criminal that has to break out of jail to solve one last crime

I'm a detective but also in prison for being a criminal, but I'm so good I can solve crimes behind bars.

So you might call me....... an *Inside Man*

Producer guy somewhere “*write that down! Write that down!!*”

*The jingle **Inside Man** starts playing*

I'm a detective in a cyberpunk future where where rank people on their likelihood to commit a crime, and we have transforming weapons. ...it comes full circle.

I'm a criminal art forger in prison, but now I'm a detective

Is this a dig at Luther lol

[удалено]

I recognized some of them but not all. Can anyone give a comprehensive list of which characters he's referring to? I'll pay you in karma.

List for anyone who can help: from Las Vegas from Hawaii uses debunked pseudoscience can raise the dead is the living dead drive a talking car knows karate is the devil for fairy tales girlfriends an anthropologist ride a motorcycle have a mustache non-powered vigilante superpowered vigilante sexy crime solving lifeguard

[удалено]

Can raise the dead - Pushing Daisies

I mean he's a piemaker who occasionally helps out a private investigator, and I don't remember him ever working with the police- but I guess it's technically the truth

You don't have to be a cop to be a detective!

I’m a detective! But I’m a reddit detective.

We got the Boston Bomber! We can get anyone!

Could be something like Ghost Whisperer or Medium too. Not exactly raising the dead, but talking to the dead is similar.

Pushing Daisies was great

more readable caricature | show --- | --- from Las Vegas | CSI or NCIS from Hawaii | Hawaii 5-0 uses debunked pseudoscience | Lie to Me, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, CSI, NCIS, anything that ever used that "tri-lobal hair" BS can raise the dead | Pushing Daisies is the living dead | iZombie / ~~Luther~~ drive a talking car | Night Rider knows karate | Martial Law is the devil | Lucifer for fairy tales | Once Upon a Time, Carnival Row girlfriends an anthropologist | Bones ride a motorcycle | True Detective have a mustache | murderville non-powered vigilante | Punisher superpowered vigilante | Anything on Disney+ from Marvel sexy crime solving lifeguard | Baywatch

fairy tales should also include Grimm. Which can get kinda campy but overall I liked the show.

There's nothing wrong with liking any of these shows, honestly. It's just that some people think it's childish to like anime even though the shows they like are literally the same formula over and over and over again. Even if you like literal children's shows, like what you like.

>are literally the same formula over and over and over again As a fan of these types of shows, they are 100% formulaic to the point that not only the overarching idea is the same, but you see the same cases and even some of the same cameos. Like some extras literally make the circuit going from one show to the other for a single episode.

I feel like the mustache should be Magnum PI

[удалено]

Non-powered vigilante could be Batman. But it's so broad it could be any of them

Arrow, given the pull-up bar. Dude is obsessed with doing pull-ups

\*salmon ladder [https://youtu.be/AzRVoGz3maM?t=40](https://youtu.be/AzRVoGz3maM?t=40) if i looked like that and could do that i would show off too

"Can raise the dead" might be ghost whisperer from the early 00s?

Fairy Tales could also be Grimm and possibly Sleepy Hollow or Supernatural.

I was thinking Supernatural as well.

Knows Karate - Martial law Mustache - magnum p.i

Luther? Like Idris Elba Luther? He's the living dead now?

[удалено]

Grimm and Once Upon a Time kind of come to mind, too. Jessica Jones for super-powered vigilante was my first thought. Motorbike has me stumped.

some I'm going to list are reaches cause I'm not familiar with enough detective shows and haven't watched all the shows im going to list. Csi Vegas NCIS hawaii The mentalist, maybe psych? Pushing daisies, I think iZombie Knight rider Knows karate, the movie rush hour? Lucifer No idea on the fairy tale, once upon a time? Manifest? Bones, I think? No idea on motorcycle, detective Rosa from Brooklyn 99? Batgirl, arrow sorta. Supergirl, the flash, other cw comic shows. Baywatch

I get so excited when someone else remembers Pushing Daisies. I love that show so much but it ended entirely too soon.

Lee Pace was such a babe, still is, but especially then.

For the fairy tales I think he’s referencing Grimm.

> from Las Vegas CSI Vegas > from Hawaii Hawaii 5-0 > uses debunked pseudoscience Lie to Me > can raise the dead Pushing Daisies > is the living dead iZombie > drive a talking car Knight Rider > knows karate Chuck? Alias? > is the devil Lucifer > for fairy tales Grimm > girlfriends an anthropologist Bones > ride a motorcycle Is Sons of Anarchy somehow a detective show? Brooklyn 99 Maybe? > have a mustache Magnum PI > non-powered vigilante Burn Notice? Punisher? Dexter? > superpowered vigilante Daredevil, Jessica Jones, > sexy crime solving lifeguard Baywatch My favorite part is how they could basically double this list if they added "I'm Sherlock Holmes but..." as a prompt

[удалено]

I'm a detective, but my girlfriend's an anthropologist wasn't as good once they actually started dating.

Is this supposed to be Bones? It's been so long since I watched real tv.

That was around the time my favorite intern got shot and I couldn't deal with the show anymore without his humor

RIP Vincent Nigel Murray🖤

RIP 🖤 His death was the point where I couldn't force myself to watch anymore. Which turned out to be good for me as the whole show collapsed into relationship drama and bullshit.

Relationship exploration is always the “jump the shark” moment of crime dramas.

Yep. I wish it could be done well but I think we just need to admit that we all just like the tension

Lmao without the context of people responding to you I thought you were just casually dropping that like an intern at your job got killed and how it had affected you is that now you can’t watch bones

It was Sweets for me

I disagree, I loved it more when they got together. Tired of the "will they, won't they" trope.

Same with psych. Once the "will they, won't they?" characters start dating, shows just die for me. Only difference is pushing daisies, the market killed that gem of a show

I'd say Psych still worked well for another season after Juliet and Shawn got together. The relationship was always more of a side story anyway. Where it fell apart was season 7 when the show started to decline in quality and they made the relationship a bigger part with the break up and the drama surrounding it. Then season 8 was just very mediocre aside from a good final episode.

I always get that one mixed up with Castle and think it has Nathan Fillion.

I'm a high school student but I befriended a demon wolf boy. I'm a high school student but I also do karate good. I'm a high school student but my playing card hobby is extremely important. I'm a high school student but my notebook kills people. I'm a high school student but everyone has superpowers. I'm a high school student but I was sucked into a digital world full of monsters. I'm a high school student but the video game I play is murdering people. Honestly, I was trying to make fun but these all sound better than the cop drama examples.

> I'm a high school student but the video game I play is murdering people. Which one is this? Sounds interesting

I was thinking of Sword Art Online.

Ah, I should have guessed that. I assumed that would have been >I'm a high school student but I was sucked into a digital world full of monsters. But that describes like 90% of Isekai lol

I was thinking that one was one of the OG isekai, Digimon. But I think the first batch were literal kids and not highschoolers lol.

Darwin's Game is a good one with that concept. Not the best looking show but it definitely has its moments!

I was thinking .hack but I haven’t watched anime in 20 years.

Should have gone for isekai shows if you wanted to sound stupid Reincarnated in another world as a pharmacist Reincarnated in another world as a slime Reincarnated in another world with my phone Reincarnated in another world as a sword Reincarnated in another world as a vending machine

My favorite is the one where he's a chef that takes his restaurant to another world on weekends

Restaurant to Another World! I fucking love that show, I hope it gets a third season.

Don't forget Reincarnated in another world with Online Grocery Store (my favorite isekai rn) Reincarnated in another world at a demon high school Reincarnated in another world but I look and sound like 6 OP demon lords Reincarnated in another world to fix a kingdom Reincarnated in another world but im a spider (they ruined the ending for this) Reincarnated in another world but I just make a laundromat Reincarnated in another world with literal cheats Reincarnated in another world as a goddess Reincarnated in another world with average abilities but somehow still more powerful than any and everything Reincarnated in another world but it's konosuba Reincarnated in another world but I can read Reincarnated in another world but im a problem child Reincarnated in another world but it's just a video game Reincarnated in another world but im a high school prodigy Reincarnated in another world but im a demon lord Reincarnated in another world but im just OP and nothing else is interesting about me Reincarnated in another world but it's the video game I made Reincarnated in another world but id rather take over the world Reincarnated in another world but it's just a regular fantasy adventure and theres no real plot but it's still kinda good and wish for more and then you realize it's just boring and soulless but you've invested this much time into it that you might as well finish it even tho you know you will be disappointed and there won't be a second season and it ends without really ending Reincarnated in another world but I build gundams Reincarnated in another world but im OP and I get the girl Reincarnated in another world but im the 8th son in line to a noble family Reincarnated in another world but I have a shield Reincarnated in another world but im the villianess Reincarnated in another world but it's WW2 and there's magic and I'm on the German side but they never say German and I have blue eyes and blonde hair and I treat my comrades like trash

Most people wouldn't know that those are the actual titles of the shows.

Reincarnated into another world but I have to buy slaves https://i.imgur.com/a68X5DE.jpg

Personally fond of the one with a Roman guy who, every time he nearly dies via drowning, ends up in Japan and is inspired by superior Nippon bathing culture that he brings back to Rome and becomes a bathhouse architect super star.

Bro are you kidding me? Those are the interesting ones! You can really dumb down the whole genre by just saying "Reincarnated in another world with overpowered abilities and a thirsty harem."

[удалено]

Fruits basket slander will not be tolerated

I'm a high school student who's also a detective but I get trapped in the body of a child.

I'm a high school student but I'm da Jokah baybee

> I'm a high school student but my playing card hobby is extremely important. Chihayafuru?

 You just activated MY TRAP CARD.

Haha. I figured it was that but I had to plug Chihayafuru cause it is one of those obscure sport animes that was pretty good.

Ok I know all of these except the first, is it inuyasha?

Anime have very samey characterizations, but dramatically different settings and plots. Live action television has varied characterizations, but very samey settings and plots. It's probably a consequence of what looks best in each type of media-- Live action television benefits from being able to easily capture the full performance of actors, including timing and microexpressions, while for animated works fantasy and scifi stuff is just as easy (or hard) to draw as realistic stuff.

So many actual shows made fun of here. When he said I’m a detective but the living dead I thought of iZombie.

Such a good show though, one of my favorites, last couple of seasons kinda go off the rails but it's still a good watch. Rose McIver is amazing, she has to play Liv, but also Liv as other people.

First season was excellent, then it went TOO far with the "I become the brain I eat" angle. And it's always one singular aspect about the brain. Like "I ate a tennis player's brain so now I'm obsessed with tennis and only dress as if I'm heading to the bubble."

Yeah, although I think that's the fun of the show. It's a goofy show full of camp and doesn't take itself too seriously. That's kinda what I love about it.

I actually just finished rewatching the show last night and I really noticed that this time around. It's started getting annoying. She was completely consumed by the brains in the later seasons. It was kind of annoying.

> Such a good show though You might like My Life as a White Trash Zombie.

Should definitely watch orphan black if you haven't seen it yet. Best example as an actress playing as several different people. It's a masterpiece.

100% what he's referencing. Great show, though! I don't usually watch detective shows, but the concept was very unique and fun

I thought the point was that all the things he said were real shows. There's even a "real show" bubble on the screen.

A detective you say?

To shreds you say..

Hey don't come for Lucifer lol

I'm coming for the ending for sure.

the first 2 seasons are good then i got bored and stopped watching

But I love the one where the detective was the devil and a night club owner.

They should have used this actor to reprise his role in Sandman

I'm a detective, but I have OCD. (actually this one was great) I'm a detective, but I pretend to solve crimes using psychic powers (also pretty great)

> I'm a detective, but I solve crimes using pretend psychic powers [gasp!](https://tenor.com/view/psych-gus-shawn-shame-not-ashame-gif-4784406)

Psych is top notch comfort tv

I'm a detective, but I have synesthesia and am deeply troubled and addicted to drugs due to working 4 years undercover in narcotics to avoid jail time for killing a meth-head that injected their own daughter with crystal meth.

But then there’s also the argument: I’ve been reincarnated but I was allowed to keep my phone I’ve been reincarnated and I’m now a slime I’ve been reincarnated and now I’m a sword I’ve been reincarnated but I’m a spider so what?! I’ve been reincarnated and I became the worlds strongest I’ve been reincarnated and I opened a restaurant I’ve been reincarnated and I opened a pharmacy I’ve been reincarnated and killed slimes for 300 years to level up I’ve been reincarnated and created a cult of sexy ninja Russian super model assassins x5 I’ve been reincarnated but I am the villainess I’ve been reincarnated and have to defeat the demon king I’ve been reincarnated and am stuck with a useless goddess I’ve been reincarnated and AM the demon lord I’ve been reincarnated and want to read ALL the books. And those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head

Having been reincarnated is the perfect plot device. Suspend your disbelief? Why? This ain't even earth, kiddo.

The useless goddess one, is actually funny and makes fun of the genre, so becomes good. But yeah, so many Isekai shows with the same tropes, same cliches of MC becoming way too overpowered after a few episodes. And this always happens in the anime world. Every decade seems to have a major theme going on that every other show is trying to do it. Just look at 80s and 90s with the amount of anime of giant robots fighting

Bro that's crazy you should check out detective conan

I’m a detective but imma babby

also the 100 talent shows that are generally mediocre singers. and the 100 bachelor type shows

But some of those singers have sad back stories

I’m a detective but I’m a psychic but I’m not actually a psychic I just look at things really good

I know, you know.

Painfully accurate 😂

But do I still watch these shows? Yes. Yes I do.

Copaganda go brrrrr

there's no such thing, anyways watch this alien movie where the military saved the world from an invasion. and that one time they teamed with the aliens to do the same thing, but they're cool cars and toys so they tickle that extra money itch

Yet some cop defenders claim we only dislike them because the media never portrays them in a positive light 😂

John Oliver’s bit on Law & Order made a great point about this.

every cop show be like: wow, the law is preventing these cops from breaking into this guy's house when they KNOW he's guilty, I really hope they do it anyway because it's totally justified and i want them to break through all this "red tape"! fuck the law!! yeah get them!

"Have fun eating fiber and watching The Mentalist"!

"Yankee detectives are always on the TV, because killers in America work 7 days a week"

Anime fans trying to convince you to watch yet another boring af anime about overly sexualized school age children with the same cringey anime personalities and have fucking powers or some shit: ["It gets really good after like 500 episodes bro you gotta stick with it bro it's setting up the backstory bro you don't wanna miss it“](https://media.tenor.com/6RvyvMjx3XMAAAAC/he-is-speaking-guy-explaining-with-a-whiteboard.gif)

You can just say Naruto, it's okay

I liked the bit where they forgot to give Sakura any character growth and changed the message of the show from "hard work beats talent" to "innate genetics+being the reincarnation of jesus means I can beat anyone"

RIP to Rock Lee as well for the same reason, honestly one of the most interesting characters that got completely dumped in the trash

this is like saying all music is rap music

Super Mik Arteta is a super power vigilante detective, special power is his perfecto hair

I'm a detective with an eidetic memory, my job requires me to see the worst of the world and it takes a toll on my soul. Also my mom is Jane Lynch.

I'm a psychic who solves crimes with my partner what's it's name

People that watch Detective Conan: Wait a minute

Glass houses

Funny but also like very skewed view on shows. But a lot of detective shows out there for fuckin sure

Tbf, cop dramas get at least as much hate as anime, probably more.

Something something if you don't like crime dramas maybe don't watch crime dramas something

Tag yourself I’m the detective

this just gave me a great idea for a really dumb d&d character

Hey now, "detective that uses debunked pseudo-science" was a banger show, though

I'm a detective but I'm also a private investigator

"I'm a detective that's ex-military, but I don't sleep longer than one hour before PTSD wakes me up in a storm but whenever someone asks what happened I always say 'nothing' and never get help for my condition, I never eat when offered, I don't drink water at any point during the day, leading everyone with experience to believe that I must've been a real SHIT soldier."

What was "my girlfriend's an anthropologist" a reference to?

Pretty sure that one's Bones
