Apt. 51 is an extremely obscure short-lived series that can best be described as the poor man's Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000. It was created by a man named Sam Boyer and distributed by Razor Digital Entertainment in 2005, amid a slew of low-budget works designed to cash in on the 3D craze at the time. This one has never been released on anything except DVDs, and the stock online is steadily running out, threatening to turn it into lost media.

* VillainProtagonist: O.G. and Mal were sent by Central Command so that they may monitor humanity, and then one day bring them down. Only O.G. takes this seriously.

* VitriolicBestBuds: It's clear that O.G.'s ambitions and Mal's need for comfortable living clash a lot, culminating in [[spoiler: Mal strapping O.G. to an electric torture device just to get him to stop with this nonsense.]]

Added DiffLines:

* DepravedKidsShowHost: What O.G. really is in "Devil Bat", using his edutainment program to sway kids to his world-conquering cause. Mal is only this by association, but he couldn't care less about it.


Added DiffLines:

* GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: Mal isn't traditionally grumpy per se, but he's very snarky and dismissive of O.G.'s ambitious and energetic attempts at taking over mankind.

* ExcitedKidsShowHost: O.G. presents himself as this in "Devil Bat" as a part of his EvilPlan to brainwash kids. Mal isn't quite as enthusiastic on account of the plan being so utterly wrong, but every so often he does get into it. By the episode's end, he's somewhat embraced the more benign aspects of the role.

* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: Mal and even O.G. were sent to survey Earth for conquering, but it's very obvious that they enjoy humanity's pop culture.

* IncrediblyLamePun: The hosts, especially Mal, are prone to this, complete with appropriate reactions.
* IncrediblyLongNote: O.G. maintains the last note of the SuddenMusicalEnding long enough for Mal to have to shut him up.


Added DiffLines:

* SuddenMusicalEnding: When the hosts get to the part in "Devil Bat" where Uncle Bela [[HereWeGoAgain makes a new bat to replace the last one,]] Mal decides to speed things up with a country-style song recapping the movie and what happens next. It's actually pretty catchy.

* HonestJohnsDealership: O.G.'s "Craft Corner" involves selling kids the means of making their own Devil Bat prop, while charging $99.95 for what amounts to some vague instructions. Mal can hardly believe it.



* NotSoAboveItAll: As exasperated as he is with O.G.'s business with the movies they watch, Mal occasionally proves to be a more avid riffer and joker than him. In particular is his uproarious reaction to his own neck pun, concerning O.G.
