Here's something you guys might enjoy -- MPI-related YouTube clips (Family Friendly). Most of the clips I've seen are complete garbage, but I did come across a couple of good ones.
Ramadi pi (make sure you view the whole thing)
The MPI Intro spoofed by some Army guys while stationed in Iraq. Good stuff!
Magnet P.I.
Another MPI Intro spoof. This one is short, but very well done! All of the "actors" are just perfect. Someone's got a sweet Black 308 GTS! And that weird Techno-Pop version of the theme song.
And if you havn't seen it ..... here it is .....
The Infamous 'Family Guy' MPI Spoof
I don't know whether I should laugh (hard) or cry when I see this.
If anyone knows of any other good ones (family friendly, please), feel free to post them here.

Ramadi p.i. - awesome.
Magnet p.i. - the theme song is.....extremly weird, but good actors.
Family guy - that cracked me up!
I have a few more of the actual show, if anyone's interested.

The theme, in French.
I'll post back here when I find the pilot episode bit (Don't look at the dogs, work the lock!), it has disappeared.

These are AWESOME.
Magnet was my personal favorite, but Ramadi was good too!

On another MPI forum, I had posted the folowwing.
Trust me, it's worth watching, if only for the efforts they've made to get as close to the original as possible (especially TC).
There is or was (no longer together) a metal, rap..... German band called Such a Surge (definetely not my cup of tea).
Anyhow, I found the video to one of their songs called "Mein Tag" (My Day), and it is the parody of our favorite MPI.
Don't worry for the language, although I'm fluent in German, the whole charm of this video lies in the visual.
It was shot in Cape Town, South Africa (driving on the other side of the road), still the band had some mirrored shots so that it looks closer to the original.
Still, TC's Hughes 500D is just a regular Robinson chopper.
It's worth the look.
Check it out here, and give it some time to download.

Thinking of it, more in the Family Guy kind, there's also the following French parody, with the Mike Post theme sang....I let you be the judge

Ha! I love it! Fantastic! Hilarious!
The song threw me for a loop, however. I was expecting something like
Rammstein, a hard metal song, or something. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to hear a light, comical pop song with a cool acoustic slide guitar solo break.
Cool stuff! They obviously spent quite a bit of time filming it. Thanks for sharing!

This is a good candidate for a sticky thread, James.
Then, any time someone finds a video on YouTube or wherever they can post a link to it here.

I agree. These were a definite hoot! I particularly enjoyed the "Ramadi, P.I."
