Tim plays and eviscerates the trailer for an Oxygen Network true-crime show featuring retired NYPD detectives investigating the Smiley Face Killer theory, calling out their lack of actual leads and exploitation of grieving parents.

In this bit12 moments
  • Tim describes the Oxygen Network show where three detectives claim to investigate the smiley face killer, comparing it to Teresa Caputo's fake medium act exploiting grieving parents.
  • The show presents shady drowning circumstances and the detectives' investigation spanning 12 years with no actual suspects or evidence, only a TV deal.
  • Tim argues the detectives have been working since 2006 with nothing to show except a book and TV show, prioritizing their careers over solving the crime.
  • One of the detectives is facing sexual assault charges, and Oxygen eventually parted ways with the group, but Tim mocks their continued pestering of parents.
  • Tim performs the detectives' pitch to grieving parents: "Have you heard of television? We're going to be on TV together. You look at the camera and cry."
  • He compares the situation to repeatedly showing up at missing children's cases with a podcast and no actual leads, bringing a goon squad to figure it out.
  • The show's first episode features the detectives eating bacon and eggs at a greasy spoon diner while discussing murdered children—a food network-style production.
  • Tim acknowledges suspicious drownings may be real and connects them to broader conspiracies like Epstein and Johnny Gosh, but not dismissing the premise.
  • Imagine your dead son—a college guy—and three sausage heroes show up at your house promising a TV show will crack the case wide open; these meatballs now control your son's justice.
  • If the smiley face killer is actually real, they're fine and facing no problems because the brain trust assembled to stop them is so incompetent.
  • One of the retired NYPD detectives introduces himself as Mike Donovan, claiming to be devoted to the smiley face investigation but having no results.
  • Tim notes that even Jeffrey Epstein eventually got arrested, implying the three retired detectives have accomplished even less.
