Trivia / Paradise PD

Go To

  • Accidental Downer Ending: The fourth and final season of this ended on a cliffhanger in which the Big Bad kidnaps Randal and Karen's baby to gain immortality and flies away with him. This is lampshaded in the closing credits, since the writers weren't aware that the episode would be the series finale when it was written. Even worse, Season 2 of Farzar was supposed to feature a crossover episode which would have served as the finale of this series...but then it was cancelled.
  • Ascended Fanon: In 2018, there was a fan-art of the Brickleberry rangers fighting Paradise PD. This became canon in the crossover between the two shows when Season 2 arrived.
  • Banned in China: Played straight in the aforementioned country due to its content and Netflix being blocked in the country, but bizarrely averted in Japan, despite the fact that country shares with China and basically with almost every single Asian country (outside Yemen, North Korea and Israel) the same dislike towards the showing of uncensored use of drugs on screen.
  • Creator-Driven Successor: It's basically Brickleberry with cops, helmed by the same creators Roger Black and Waco O'Guin with some of the same voice actors (like David Herman and Tom Kenny) even returning to play similar characters. Season 2 reveals that it takes place in the same universe, and Randall is related to Woody Johnson. Lampshaded in episode 9 when Kevin calls a comatose Fitz "Denzel", the name of Steve's black friend from Brickleberry.
  • Crossdressing Voices: Although he's a guy, Roger Black voices the female character Edna Dorsaldigits. Likewise, Waco O'Guin (a man) voices the Dolphin Queen.
  • The Other Darrin: The Latin American Spanish dub suffered a whole cast replacement in the second season, since the dub was shifted out from Argentina to Mexico for unexplained reasons. Likewise, the cast from Brickleberry in the crossover episode was also replaced, since that series was originally dubbed in El Salvador.
  • Playing with Character Type: Grey Griffin, who normally stars in kids cartoons, voices Karen Crawford in the adult-oriented Paradise PD. However, while Karen isn't exactly a saint herself, she is still quite pleasant and emotionally balanced compared to Grey's villainous roles like Vicky, Mandy, and Azula.
  • Role Reprise: A very odd cross-country example happens here in the Latin American Spanish dub: In the second season premiere, there's an Take That! at Brooklyn Nine-Nine in which that show's character Jake Peralta appears. There, Peralta is voiced by Jhonny Torres, who already dubbed the character in Brooklyn Nine-Nine when he worked in Venezuela, as he now works in Mexico instead.
  • Unspecified Role Credit: The ending credits tell you the voice actors but there's no indication of which voice goes to which character, making it pretty difficult to figure out who is who sometimes.
