Plot Summary

Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule is a surreal and absurd mockumentary series where actor John C. Reilly, in character as the dim-witted, clueless investigative journalist Dr. Steve Brule, explores various everyday topics with a bizarre and often nonsensical approach. Each episode features Brule attempting to understand subjects ranging from food and health to relationships and travel, all while displaying a profound lack of common sense and an endearing, albeit accidental, earnestness. His interviews are filled with non-sequiturs, and his 'research' often leads to hilariously misguided conclusions.

It's praised for its originality and its ability to consistently deliver laughs through its unconventional format and character.
