Off-Kilter Japanese Cult TV show “Oh! Mikey”
Richard Metzger is the current Boing Boing guest blogger. Once a part of the wonderfully named “Vermilion Pleasure Night,” a sort of Japanese version of “Adult Swim,” “Oh! Mikey” is a bizarre comedy show cast entirely with widely grinning, frozen-faced mannequins. Each approximately two-minute episode of “Oh! Mikey” is about an American family living in Japan. It often doesn’t make a lot of sense (in that good Japanese way of not making any sense) and most episodes end with the characters laughing hysterically whether something funny is happening or not. Lately “Oh! Mikey” has been airing on the G4 network as part of their “G4 Late Night Peep Show” line-up. Oh! Mikey USA site Original Japanese clip “Oh! Mikey Fever” Thanks Lenora Claire!
