With a name like Rock Slyde, he was destined to become either one of two things: porn star or private eye. The porn thing didn't quite pan out, so he became a detective. Now, he's fallen on hard times. Not only does he lack the clients required to pay the bills, his building's being taken over by a cult leader, Bart, who intends to buy out Rock's office for his [[ChurchOfHappyology Church of Bartology]]. Rock takes on a case with a new client who shares his love of coupons and receiving positive eBay feedback, and his refusal to sell his office to the cult leads Bart to brainwash Rock's secretary (a major setback for Rock, since she's the only one who knows how to use the coffee machine) and threaten to expose Rock's past as the star of gay, pirate-themed musical pornos ''The Jolly Roger'' and ''Butt Pirates of the Caribbean''. Not that it was much of a secret, anyway, since Rock used his real name when he acted in the movies.

Stars PatrickWarburton as Rock Slyde, Andy Dick as Bart, and features cameos by [[{{Seinfeld}} Jason]] [[{{Duckman}} Alexander]], Eric Roberts, [[BackToTheFuture Lea]] [[Film/HowardTheDuck Thompson]], Guillermo Rodriguez, [[Music/AliceInChains Jerry Cantrell]] and Brian Bosworth.
