Stroker and Hoop is, at first glance, yet another parody of the once-popular 'buddy cop' genre, which pits two disparate personalities against each other in serious situations, to provide either comic or dramatic results. As if you didn't know what a buddy cop film was. However, Stroker and Hoop goes beyond that, mixing a clever use of pop culture references, satire, and dark humor with a unique, independent animation design, professional-rate voice acting, and wit that stands independent of pop culture and satire. Stroker and Hoop's episodic quality contains some discontinuity, though not to an annoying degree -- such as in Family Guy. With a coherent plot and creative dialog, Stroker and Hoop provided viewers of adult swim's adult animation bloc with a clever, amusing, fresh series that would have been a much better choice to continue with.
Characters such as 'Coroner Rick' and 'Double Wide' provide usually-competent assistance to the two bumbling, titular protagonists. Though giving a terrible face to the two, self-styled private detectives, they have redeeming qualities that round out their characters. The use of gore slapstick is not overdone, and often seems reminiscent of over-hyped action movies from the '80s. Dark humor rounds out a silly premise, with Coroner Rick often providing insensitive, yet witty, comments at the worst of situations. And let's not forget C.A.R.R., another example of pop culture parody, who is yet another character who goes deeper than his counterpart (K.I.T.T.) Though often generally unlikeable, all the characters who appear as static persons are sympathetic in some manner.
It's a shame it was canceled.

This show is very funny!! I make every effort to watch it because it is so hilarious! Great show to watch and unwind. I really like Hoop because he's like the lovable sidekick that is loyal to his friends. Stroker is awesome because of his outgoing attitude and his perception of women. I like all the characters of the show because they bring some new elements to each other and it really is a good combination. I wish it would come on more often but I guess I can settle for the times that it comes on now. But when it does come out on DVD you better believe me that I will definitely run out and buy it. It is truly worth owning because it is just that funny.

Great show cancelled by under budgeted adult swim at the time, wish somebody would this up - show is fantastic and funny.
this is not new adult swim material, it's an old comedy central late night show. i don't know if they still do it, but CC used to have a late night animation block, granted it was not as good as adult swim, but still had clever and original material. i don't remember when it aired, but I'm pretty sure it was early 2004, shows like "Gary and Mike", "Dilbert", and a few others. I'm sure some of the shows can be found on torrent channels, or on DVD. i personally liked the block, but i can cope as long as there's still good shows on adult swim. eventually, adult swim will probably start showing every adult cartoon out there except south park.
Adult Swim should've picked up the 2nd season, but alas they did not. If Lasslo was the president back then, it definitely would've been greenlit for a 2nd go.
