''Baby Mentalist'' is a WebVideo CopShow series created and written by Randall Park, starring himself, his wife Jae Suh, and his then-eight-month old daughter Ruby as the title character.

George Chung is an unsuccessful detective caught between fighting crime in Los Angeles and reviving his failing marriage with his wife, Barbara. During his visitation rights, he employs his baby daughter, Ruby, as his partner, who he nicknames "Baby Mentalist." Baby Mentalist's skills earn her a full-time spot in the police force, and together, the father-and-daughter team tackles drug dealers and murderers.

The show is a BlackComedy and a hilarious take on general {{Cop Show}}s, highlighted by Park's deadpan delivery and the premise of a baby being a cop.
