CSI: Miami is quite a popular television show, but let’s face it - sometimes the plot lines and the dramatic phrases can get a little outrageous. This [parody](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americas-next-top-primer) is called CSI: Miami Sunglass Edition and is created by the GoPotato guys. They made a version of the [crime fighting drama](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-on-the-rocks) that is even more exaggeratedly ridiculous.

Will McFadden and Ian Wolterstoff play crime-stopper Horatio and a very confused [sun glass store employee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavy-tropix-sport).

Watch and enjoy!
