<text>  Theres a new true detective in town. A Texas police department has hilariously spoofed Matthew McConaugheys Lincoln car commercials, adding their own spin to reflect a night on the squad. McConaugheys ads are famous for the Academy Award-winning actor staring pensively through his window, contemplating lifes existential mysteries or just talking about how much he loves his car. Sgt. Larry Wise of the Cedar Hill Police Department in Texas hilariously spoofed Matthew McConaugheys Lincoln Car ads, adding his own spin to reflect a night on the squad . McConaugheys ads are famous for the Academy Award-winning actor staring pensively through his window, contemplating lifes existential mysteries or just talking about how much he loves his car . Sometimes you gotta go back to actually move forward, and I dont mean go back and reminisce or chase ghosts, he says in twisty dialogue that would make his True Detective character Rust Cohle proud. Cedar Hill Police put Sgt. Larry Wise behind the wheel of a cop van for the parody, and at first Wise repeats McConaugheys dialogue word for word, in the same pensive deadpan voice. But things soon veer off from their original course. While McConaughey wonders about going back to where you came from, Wise talks about taking a big step back, like from winning rookie of the year to getting a couple of reflection days off. Wise pretends to nod off for a second as he wonders Who am I? Why am I still on duty? What is this on my fingers and why wont it come off? Is it mystery pocket goo from that last guy I searched? A prisoner makes a guest starring appearance, asking Wise if hes okay because hes only going five miles an hour. Wises response? Thats pretty good for an Explorer You dont get into police work because it makes sense, Wise then says. You do it cause you thought it really looked cool on TV, or cause med school was out of the question. As McConaughey drives under the bright city lights, its gas stations and flashing sirens that reflect in Wises window as he ponders yet another night on the job. I like being in here, he says in the video. Driving around all night long contemplating the important questions in life like Who am I? Why am I still on duty? What is this on my fingers and why wont it come off? Is it mystery pocket goo from that last guy I searched? And, in the spoof, a prisoner makes a guest starring appearance, asking Wise if hes okay because hes only going five miles an hour. Wises response? Thats pretty good for an Explorer. The video was posted on the Cedar Hill Police Departments Facebook page to celebrate hitting 4,000 Facebook likes. Lt. Colin Chenault told Daily Mail Online that he, Wise and fellow officer Kaleb Hazard came up with the idea after watching Jim Carreys spoof of the ads on Saturday Night Live. The video has more than half a million views and has been shared over 12,000 times. Chenault attributes the success to the fact that the video humanizes police officers. I think people want to laugh at us and see us as real people, he said. We want people to remember this video, it sheds a light not just on our city but on other officers as well, and remember that police officers are normal people like you and me. We laugh at the same things and we want people to see us as they are - we just do a different job. Both Chenault and Wise said they are happy theyve created a something that is much more positive and comedic than the recent controversial videos featuring policemen around the country. Police officers dont like to be stereotyped either, said Wise. So when something bad happens in another city, youre always going to have that percentage of the public, no matter what, think were all corrupt and cant do anything right. He added that to be able to put something out to humanize policemen and prove theyre not all the same, and get such a response from the public, was outstanding.
