Recap / Mike Tyson Mysteries S 1 E 3 Heavyweight Champion Of The Moon

Go To

Mike is a terrible driver and although each driving incident has been an accident, he's killed a lot of people. But when he discovers almost all the victims were astronauts, Mike decides there's only one logical explanation: He must be part of a secret government plot to kill astronauts, because of something they saw on the moon, something the government doesn't want the people to know. Mike steals a rocket and blasts off for the moon.


This episode contains the following tropes:

  • Ask a Stupid Question...: When everyone meets Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut, who is wearing a jacket that has his name and the NASA logo:
    Pigeon: Hey, your jacket says "Buzz Aldrin." You're not the astronaut Buzz Aldrin, are you?
    Buzz Aldrin: No, I'm the jazz singer Buzz Aldrin. Of course I'm the astronaut.
  • The Dreaded: Mike gains a reputation for getting into "fender benders" with his vehicle, and has so far killed 10 people, specifically astronauts, including Buzz Aldrin. After Mike hits and kills his 11th up on the surface of the moon, his insurance representative realizes that Mike has actually only killed 2 astronauts, and the other 8 were astronomers. By this time, astronomers everywhere are already living in fear.
  • The Unreveal: Invoked, no one will ever know why Mike's facial tattoo is etched into the moon.
