Is Mike Tyson the same person named George Foreman?

This is the main reason I think this was on purpose to get more people to watch.

Tyson is awesome!
I think the fact that Mike sucks as a VA just adds more to how hilarious this is.
So, Venture Bros. was the parody of Johnny Quest and boy adventure shows. Mike Tysons Mysteries is the parody of celebrity-endorsed cartoons of the 80's (The Gary Coleman show, Chuck Norris Karate Commandos, etc). Now we just need a parody of Transformers/TMNT/G.I Joe any action show that was an excuse to sell toys.
Show looks promising.

It's a parody of scooby doo...
As well as the 80's celebrity cartoons that I mentioned. I just remembered that there was a Mr. T cartoon as well.
There was also a scooby cartoon with celebrity guests.

Mike is hilarious. He's like a big baby...A baby that can kill you with his bear hands.

Initially I thought it was a curious screw-up on Mike Tyson's behalf to upload an entire screening-version of the pilot a week before it premieres, but the more I think of it, the more I have to imagine Adult Swim is perfectly okay, if not actively pursuing ways like this to market their shows.
Then again, I ain't no TV executive/Social media rep/Mike Tyson, so anything's possible.

That was shockingly bad, and I came in pretty hopeful after the trailer.

Shocked Tyson is voicing himself. He was surprisingly good (or bad depending on how you view it).

I think the "Mike Tyson Screening Copy" watermark on the video was the funniest part of all.
It was decent, but a lot of the humor felt forced. I get that they were trying to throw us into this world and have a lot of these relationships established, but I couldn't get over how dry a lot of the jokes felt. The best character was probably the pigeon - the daughter had no real impact, the ghost felt like way too much of a straight man to be funny, and the twist was pretty ho-hum.
The "bird sex" song was funny the first time it was sung by Mike, but lost it when they kept repeating the joke.

Can't wait to watch this later after first seeing the trailer ages ago!
Well that was fucking hilarious.

Well if Mike Tyson says it is OK for me to watch his show for free, then it must be OK.
I guess I will check out the episode.
