A grown man investigates crimes by examining butts with the seriousness of a forensic pathologist. The mystery is real. The logic is airtight. The premise is completely insane, and the show commits to it with zero irony, zero winking at the camera. You watch a detective in a port town solve an auto rickshaw case using gluteal analysis like it's the most normal investigative technique in the world, and by the end you're not laughing at the joke anymore, you're laughing because the show believes in itself completely. Comedy this committed to its own absurdity doesn't come around often. It's a one-shot that knows exactly what it is and executes it with the precision of a show that cost ten times as much to make.
Butt Detective gives chase to a tuk-tuk, the small auto rickshaw of the title, somewhere in a port town. Released online in 2017 as a single short episode, this brief story centers on that pursuit and mixes comedy with a light mystery flavor, giving the odd detective a quick outing built around one vehicle chase.
