!!Welcome to the trope field, muthafucka!

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: All the Japanese used in the show (frequently lampshaded), particularly Chin-Chin's chant, which essentially means "I love dick".

As [[AudienceAlienatingPremise abhorrent]] as the show's premise sounds, it carved out an impressively large niche on the Internet, and has one of the most dedicated followings a [=YouTube=] series has seen ([[NeverLiveItDown for better and for worse]]), even in the years following its ending. Because of the nature of this show, it's a given to say it is '''''[[NotSafeForWork INCREDIBLY NSFW]].'''''

* NeverLiveItDown[[invoked]]: The singer of "Please Stop Calling Me Gay", or so he claims.

* NoEnding: The ''Pink Season'' song "Small Dick" cuts off abruptly in the middle of a word.

!!Filthy Frank's videos provide examples of...

Though the series is retired, a more low-key and story-focused spinoff and/or SpiritualSuccessor can be found in [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcBjMJODyNLgQWPRSdIrv7A bald internet man,]] starring Lake Markham (the man who played Dade), and a series which SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB8j5iF3bis I love ramen, I love ramen, I love ramen, fuck yeah!]]

* CouldntFindAPen: At the end of the 2014 ChristmasSpecial, we see that Dade wrote [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments "LOVE U FRANK... DADE"]] on the wall in chocolate [[spoiler:before dying]].

* [[invoked]]PainfulRhyme: George has a lot of fun invoking these. "Nickelodeon Girls", for example:

* CruellaToAnimals: "Furr" on Pink Season, complete with a ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' reference:
--> Yeah, I don't give a fuck about the dolphins on my back, man\\
I know a guy, who knows a guy, I get it like that\\
With a polar bear ceiling fan cooling down my back\\
And a kangaroo pouch to hold my diamonds and rags\\
\\
I sew a bunch of rats to a quilt\\
All this fur got me feelin' like Cruella De Vil\\
I've been lurking on my neighbors' Dalmatians for weeks, man\\
If you try to split the profit call my pager for deets, yo!

After [[LongRunners seven years]] of being active, the show went strangely quiet after the release of the ''Francis of the Filth'' book, which addressed the show's lore in its entirety. Three months after the book's release, Miller finally broke the silence to [[https://twitter.com/FilthyFrank/status/946807308541218816 officially announce]] that the ''Filthy Frank'' show was coming to an end, citing [[ArtistDillusionment his lack of interest in the show]] (specifically that making the videos was, in his own words, "no longer fun") and the unfortunate effects the show had on his health (including throat tissue damage, presumably from years of doing the Frank voice).

Created by Japanese-Australian George "[[Music/{{Joji}} Joji]]" Miller, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/TVFilthyFrank Filthy Frank]]'' is a series of comedic videos/"vlogs" depicting the life and surreal adventures of a man by the name of Filthy Frank, who finds pleasure in stabbing baby animals and finds the sight of a dead cat to be sexually arousing. He also describes himself as "the Creator/EdWood of Website/YouTube" or "an incredibly sane man showing his saneness in insane ways".

The show was [[SurrealHumor surreal]], frequently indulged in StylisticSuck and in its [[RandomEventsPlot Random Events Plots]], and overall was a WidgetSeries. It was also rife with every form of vulgar and crass comedy you could conceivably think of, considering Frank sees himself as an EqualOpportunityOffender (what with his whole "prejudice equality" mindset) and has probably made a joke attacking or lampooning every group of people under the sun. As a result, the show fell through the floorboards of [[CrossesTheLineTwice "offensive"]] as well as [[BlackComedy several more]] [[DeadBabyComedy floors beneath]] [[UpToEleven that]]. Once the show started getting into its lore, however, [[CerebusSyndrome it was a different (and far deeper) story.]]

As [[AudienceAlienatingPremise abhorrent]] as the show's premise sounds, it carved out an impressively large niche on the Internet. While the show does have a very dedicated cult following, it does have many a hater who thinks the whole shebang of the series is either extremely sickening or extremely tasteless. Because of the nature of this show, it's a given to say it is '''''[[NotSafeForWork INCREDIBLY NSFW]].'''''

Though the series is retired, a more low-key and story-focused spinoff and/or SpiritualSuccessor can be found in [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcBjMJODyNLgQWPRSdIrv7A bald internet man,]] starring Lake Markham (the man who played Dade), and a series which SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0w4VRGCSmFw26mLsMPO7mg There has also been a fan-made reboot started as of 2019]], which has recieved mixed but mostly positive reception. With the new creator being able to replicate Frank's humor and even the classic vocal-cord damaging voice rather well, but critics of it saying that it doesn't have the same feel as the original.

Pink Guy also has a music career. He released [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVyFy61SP4U a self-titled album]] in May 2014, and he released a second album (''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c_mhrB7LlQ PINK SEASON]]'') on January 4, 2017.

* RealityEnsues: An example in "PINK GUY- HITLER'S EVIL SON" that involves [[spoiler: [[BreakingTheFourthWall reality actually ensuing]].]] Pink Guy and Hitler's Son engage in a high speed sports car race involving a lot of illegal speeding and dangerous drifting, among other things. [[spoiler: They, as in the actors in real life, end up getting pulled over by the cops.]]

Yeah, 'cause it's wet from the pussy.

* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: The basis of Pink Guy's song "Please Stop Calling Me Gay".

** The singer of "White is Right" says everyone's equal in God's eyes "except for faggots, and except for niggers". This is ''after'' he admits to committing incest with his son.

* TeenyWeenie: Parodied in Pink Guy's song "Small Dick", where he claims he's ashamed of his small dick because it's ''only'' 7 inches long.

* [invoked]PainfulRhyme: George has a lot of fun invoking these. "Nickelodeon Girls", for example:

* BrickJoke: In "BAD INTERNET RAPPERS", Frank brings up his issue with internet rappers by revealing how his friend fell victim to the "mixtape" phase, after which Frank had to [[MercyKill put him out of his misery]] by shooting him repeatedly in an [[StylisticSuck intentionally terrible]] parody of [[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL's]] Dear Sister sketch. The internet rapper Politikz [[spoiler:is defeated after Pink Guy, Salamander Man, and Frank himself shoot him to death in similar fashion]].

** Two of them back-to-back in "BAD INTERNET RAPPERS": the first is [[spoiler:Frank realizing that he doesn't have his gun to put down Politikz]], and the second is [[spoiler:Frank seeing that Politikz has his gun]].

* RhymesOnADime: Parodied in Politikz's song "Real Hip Hop", which shows that just because the lyrics rhyme doesn't make them good. The argument can easily be made that the rest of his music is like this as well.

** [[spoiler:Pink Guy suddenly coming back at the end of "BAD INTERNET RAPPERS" to kill Politikz after having appeared for 5 seconds earlier in the episode.]]

-->'''Frank''': His name is Politikz...with a Z. I don't know why, they like to spell it like that, they're just fucking weird.

* [invoked]PainfulRhyme: George has a ''lot'' of fun invoking these. "Nickelodeon Girls", for example:

digging through that verGIner!

* PissTakeRap: PolitikZ awful rap songs, including "REAL HIP HOP" and "Hand On My Gat".
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: PolitikZ's sadly mistaken view of himself in "REAL HIP HOP".

* StylisticSuck: Any music made by PolitikZ, which features annoying beats, lousy mic quality, cringe-worthy vocals, and grade school rhymes.

* PainfulRhyme: George has a ''lot'' of fun with these. "Nickelodeon Girls", for example:

* ConspiracyTheorist: The singer of "FLEX LIKE DAVID ICKE" expresses admiration for professional conspiracy theorist [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke David Icke]], and claims that [[TheGreys aliens]] and [[TheReptilians reptile people]] are real, TheIlluminati exist, Hitler's still alive, UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust didn't happen, the [[MoonLandingHoax moon landings were faked]], the president's been replaced with a clone, etc.

* TheDitz: The singer in "White is Right" admits to being "really fucking stupid" and unable to read or write.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Dog Festival Directions" is a song giving you actual directions to a Chinese dog festival. Who woulda thought?

* TeenyWeenie: Pink Guy's song "Small Dick", in which also ties into the stereotypes of Asians having small penises and [[BlackIsBiggerInBed black people having big penises]].
