4. In Search Of Miracle Man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eiut_qUNBI As with most Adult Swim productions, religion has to be made fun of sooner or later. In Search of Miracle Man is an infomercial take on some milder forms of televagelism. Rich Fulcher and Matt Besser (the actual writers of the sketch, playing themselves...ish) are on an ardent search for this wonderful mysterious human who can park cars in spaces that are too small and deliver pizza in under 5 minutes. While they do that, they don't mind looking at scantily clad women and getting so much money from donations that they can buy a dystopian island. Before the short gets the obligatory dark twist near the end, we get a series of street interviews, some of which seem genuine. You've probably noticed by now that all these infomercials are directly targeted at the American society. Thus, these interviews make In Search for Miracle a much more efficient at satire.
