Does Pauly And Mikey Have Tattoos

Started out as a Docu Soap on the Discovery Channel near the Orange County Choppers bike shop, ran past Paul Teutul and his sons Paul Jr. and Mike. They congenital bikes; they argued. And at times, they just goofed off.

And then, the unthinkable happened: Sr. fired his son from the company, which ultimately led to the evidence's apparent Cancellation. But what seemed like the end of the saga, turned out to the kickoff of a sort-of new serial, American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior. This continuation had a similar formula, but this time, the arguments between father and son are Serious Concern. Every bit in, Paul Sr. did everything he could to put the workshop of his son, Paul Jr. Designs, out of business. Information technology ran for four seasons in this format and then ended in a Thousand Finale with Sr. and Jr. deciding to carelessness their business concern relationship in order to save their familial one.

In November of 2013, ads began appearing for a new program, Orange County Choppers on a different network, featuring Paul Sr. At this point, expectations are for more or less a continuation of American Chopper.

In 2018, the prove Discovery Channel began airing all new episodes. While they accept mellowed out and patched upward some of their differences, There is still enough drama to continue making an interesting bear witness.

Tropes Appearing:

• The Alcoholic: Bordering on a family trait. Mikey goes into rehab two seasons earlier Paul Sr. hit his "25 years sober" anniversary.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Paulie has a tendency to favor such designs, focusing on intricate aesthetics that result in beautiful bikes that tin can't actually be ridden for very long.
• Badass Biker: The whole cast are Badass Bike Builders.
• Berserk Button: Paul Sr. has quite a few:
  • The shop existence disorderly.
  • Things taking longer than (he thinks) they should.
  • Anything dealing with Paul Jr...
  • Implying that Paulie is responsible for his success. When Paulie did this Senior reacted by kicking his office door out.
• Big Brother Instinct: Paulie is quite protective of Mikey, especially when the extent of Mikey's addictions came to calorie-free and Mikey had to go into rehab. Paulie even set bated a corner of his new shop exclusively for Mikey's utilize and provided his younger brother with an assortment of very expensive fine art supplies so that Mikey could pursue his artistic ambitions while under Paulie's watchful eye. None of this stops Paulie from busting Mikey's balls, however.

• Brooklyn Rage: The Teutels are New Yorkers, and it shows.
• Cool Bike: Custom choppers are well-nigh 1/2 the premise of the prove.
• Crossover:
  • With Sons of Guns, featuring a chrome-plated machine gun with handlebars and a clutch lever trigger.
  • The 2011 "Build-off" with Paul Sr., Paul Jr., and Jesse James.

• Family Drama: Deconstructed. The drama that goes on splits the family, and makes the show extremely hard to produce.
• Hot Paint Job: Averted in most of the custom bikes featured on the prove, played straight by the customer bikes.
• Hypocrite: Paul Sr. shows himself to be a bit of this. In near episodes, he criticizes Junior for trying to end designing instead of helping to fabricate parts. Withal, in a later on episode, when edifice a cycle, Paul Sr. says, "Nosotros didn't get much fabrication done today, merely we did get the design done, and as I always say, designing is one-half the battle."
• Idiot Ball: Mikey totes this around a lot. In one episode, the crew goes to Paris. Mikey has a few hours to kill, and then he decides to see Jim Morrison'due south grave. Except he doesn't speak French and has absolutely no thought where it is, and so he wanders the streets in basically random directions, hoping to trip over it.
  • It'south evidently mandated Once an Episode. "We're a week backside on (Bike Ten). So, let'due south go ride gocarts/play mini golf/practice something else time-wasting, stupid, and completely unrelated."
• Insistent Terminology:
  • A company underlines the "New York" after "Orange County" to emphasize that they are not Californians.
  • Paul Sr. even got a tattoo on one of his biceps to help differentiate the two when in public.
• It Has Only Just Begun: The advertisements for Senior vs. Junior begin with "What looked like the cease...was only the beginning!".
• Jerkass: Paul Sr., big time. He sued his son several times, scandalizes him constantly on international tv set and during radio shows, and has apparently convinced himself that his company's fame tin but be attributed to his achievements, despite having stated otherwise previously, and seemingly having forgotten that this being a reality show, the truth has really been filmed.

• Motorbike Jousting: One episode had them doing this in pairs, though one was on a scooter.
• Ms. Fanservice: Rachel. She'southward regularly seen shuffling paper in Paul Jr's shop and acting as his sounding lath (they are married), but what her job actually IS is never outright stated. I cannot deny, however, that she looks really good in the tight-fighting tops and hipster jeans she'southward always wearing.
• Only Sane Employee:
  • Vince could qualify here, with the Teutul clan arguing for most half the show, and bikes needing to be built.
  • Later the testify got Uncancelled, this applies to Rick from Paul Sr.'s team, as he is the merely worker who doesn't hate (or acts as if he hated) Paulie's guts.
• Product Placement: Some savvy companies realized that only hiring the Teutels to make them a themed bike effectively granted them two gratuitous hours of advert on the Discovery Channel. Then the guys have made bikes for Jay Leno (promoting The Tonight Show), I, Robot, and Siemens, amongst others.

• "Well Washed, Son!" Guy: ...ain't coming, chucklehead. So go off your ass and do some work.
