Plot.

The Fuccons, known in Japan as Oh! Mikey, is a series of Japanese comedy sketches created by Yoshimasa Ishibashi featuring a family of Americans living in metropolitan Japan. The series is notable in that all of the characters are played by mannequins with perpetually frozen facial expressions, like the mannequins in the French photographer Bernard Faucon's pictures. The sketches first aired on the Japanese late night variety show Vermilion Pleasure Night, later moving to their own late Saturday night time slot. The collected sketches are also available on DVD, with the American ADV Films release being retitled The Fuccons and including English dubbed versions of the episodes in addition to the Japanese-language originals. As of December 2008, ADV has released a complete collection of the series, called "The Fuccons: The Whole Fuccon Show", as well as three volumes of the original Vermillion Pleasure Night, one of which includes the feature-length "best of" film, The Color of Life in which the Fuccons appear. The Fuccons currently airs in the US on the G4 network as part of G4's Late Night Peepshow which is broadcast every Monday night at 12:30am.

Wiki.

The Fuccons (), known as Oh! Mikey (オー!マイキー, Ō! Maikī) in Japan, is a Japanese sketch comedy series created by Yoshimasa Ishibashi. It features the Fuccons, a family of American expatriates living in Japan, with characters played by mannequins filmed at various locations in real-time.

The Fuccons first aired as recurring sketches titled The Fuccon Family (フーコン・ファミリー, Fūkon Famirī) on the Japanese sketch comedy series Vermilion Pleasure Night in 2000, which was also produced by Ishibashi. In January 2002, the series moved to its own late-night time slot and was broadcast until 2005 for a total of eight seasons. Throughout its broadcast, a 2003 film titled Wah! Mikey Returns was released in theaters. Following its release, four more series was released direct-to-video as well as the 2007 theatrical film Oh! Mikey Fever.

Both The Fuccon Family and The Fuccons were screened at various film festivals overseas, where news of the series was spread on the Internet through word-of-mouth, gaining a cult following. ADV Films licensed the first four seasons for North American distribution with an English dub, which was later broadcast on Anime Network and G4 as part of G4's Late Night Peepshow.
