A butt detective solving crimes with his literal ass is exactly as committed to the bit as it sounds. Five seasons in and the show still finds fresh angles on a premise that should have collapsed under its own stupidity after episode two. The comedy doesn't wink at you or apologize for itself, it just keeps building on the absurdity like it's solving a genuine mystery. Kids understand the joke immediately. Adults realize it's smarter than it has any right to be. By season five, if you're still watching, the show knows what you came for, and it delivers it without hesitation.
Butt Detective returns for another round of investigations in this fifth season of the comedy series, adapted from Troll's picture books for children. The chivalrous, cunning gentleman is back on the job in the big city, announcing that he smells a case and putting its mysteries to rest one after another. Blending comedy, fantasy and mystery, the season keeps the playful detective antics aimed at a young audience.
