| 4 | '''Detective Heart of America''' is a series of live-action shorts and [[Film/DetectiveHeartOfAmericaTheFinalFreedom one feature-length film]] created by Creator/{{FilmCow}} that parody {{Eagleland}} tropes and beliefs. The videos are filmed with prop statues that are given voice acting and character in post. The videos focus on an eagle prop named Heart of America, America’s greatest detective, tracking down and confronting criminals that pose a threat to American citizens. |

| 6 | !!Tropes: |
| 7 | * AmericanEagle: The series parodies the EagleLand trope, and the main character is a small plastic eagle statuette. |
| 8 | * BoomHeadshot: Heart of America shoots Pinnochio in the face in ''1'', an incident Pinnochio survives with minimal injuries. |
| 9 | * BulletCatch: [[spoiler: At the end of ''2'', the baby actually catches the bullets Heart of America shoots at him in his own gun.]] |
| 10 | * CatchPhrase: “I’m just a stupid fuckin’ baby!” |
| 11 | * ClusterFBomb: Characters swear almost excessively at all times during this series for the sake of comedy. |
| 12 | * CombatPragmatist: At the end of ''1'', Pinocchio leaps towards Heart of America, preparing to strike. In response, Heart of America pulls out a gun and shoots him in the face. |
| 13 | * {{Eagleland}}: ''Heavily'' parodied by the show’s very essence, even featuring a literal freedom-loving eagle as the main character. |
| 14 | * EvolvingCredits: The song that plays over the credits has a different ending lyrics for each episode: |
| 15 | --> '''Credits''': (Episode 1): Detective Heart of America, he saved the day! [[spoiler:Took out his fuckin' gun and blew Pinocchio away! AMERICA!]]\ |
| 16 | '''Credits''': (Episode 2): Detective Heart of America, he saved the day! [[spoiler:Took out a big ol' boot and beat that baby in the face! He's going to jail!]] |
| 17 | * ImplausibleDeniability: The baby insists he's just "a stupid, fuckin' baby", but it's very clear he's a criminal mastermind. |
| 18 | * MightyWhitey: Parodied, of course. The Native Fugmericans push Heart of America into this role in ''The Final Freedom'' while constantly lampshading that they are doing so. It makes him very uncomfortable. |
| 19 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: Pinnochio for ''1'', The Baby for ''2''. |
| 20 | * TheMovie: After two shorts, the series was adapted into a feature film entitled ''The Final Freedom''. The film was Kickstarted in 2013 and after several delays, was released in August 2015. |
| 21 | * StylisticSuck: The hands controlling the statues are constantly in shot, intentionally. |
| 22 | * TakeThat: In the second episode, Detective Heart of America laments the hours of his life he wasted on watching ''Series/{{Lost}}''. |
