* CleanlinessIsNextToGodliness: What does Danny do when he wins $250,000? Blow it on ''tons'' of pizza and booze and never bothers to clean up. Fast-forward to 2020, and he could easily land on an episode of ''Series/HoardingBuriedAlive''.
* UnfortunateNames: "Mr. Dingus", Danny's parole officer. [[SarcasmMode Oh, yeah, that's DEFINITELY his real name.]]
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Danny. He's a jerk to others but funny stuff happens to him too.
* UnusualEuphemism:
** He replaces most of his usual profanity with "OH, BOB SAGET!" for a segment.
** "EAT MY SHORT DICK!"
** "Suck my cocks!" Apparently he has more than one. [[note]]He's probably referring to FlippingTheBird with both of his hands while pointing his crotch at the faucet that just burned him.[[/note]]

** Lampshaded in "Buried Alive".

** Lampshaded in "Buried Alive". When Danny says "The George Foreman grill just took a shit!" the subtitles point out that he means it stopped working.

* CleanlinessIsToUngodliness:
* ClusterFBomb:

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: When a bird flies into the house, Danny's reaction is to first try and down it with a thrown beer bottle[[note]]smashing the clock[[/note]] and then try swatting it with a broom... [[WhatAnIdiot in a room filled with fragile objects.]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments The results are what you'd expect them to be.]]

* BeeAfraid: In one episode, Danny gets attacked by a swarm of bees while he's mowing the lawn. He handles it about as well as you'd think.

'''Danny''': '''''OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I SAID BACON AND EGGS!!!'''''

* {{Mooning}}: "Does this look like the ass of someone who would know if the Jiffy Lube is open on Sundays?" [[note]]"Oh HELL no!"[[/note]]

-->'''Danny's dad''': ''(running towards the cameraman)'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZp8nZLcHS8#t=254s "I'm gonna whip your ass, you little son of a bitch! Come back here, you cocksucker!"]]

* AuthorAppeal: Including Danny's shirt, there are a lot of references to breakfast cereal. And almost all the videos involve phones.

On August 4, 2007, [=TourettesGuy=].com [[http://web.archive.org/web/20070806072730/http://www.tourettesguy.com/index2.html reported]] that Danny had died from injuries sustained from a car accident. After an outpouring a grief, as well as a DVD remaster of the 2004-2007 webisodes, rumors and speculation regarding Danny's true fate began circulating, with many claiming that he was still alive and that his "death" was a publicity stunt. Then, between Christmas 2009 and Christmas 2010, 3 new videos were posted, and his website claimed that he had just been in jail the whole time. New videos were [[ScheduleSlip posted on Christmas 2012]], Halloween and Christmas 2014, April Fools 2016, Christmas 2017 and Christmas 2020. Patience is a virtue when it comes to waiting on new developments of the ever-impatient Danny. %%Where?: "Mid 2018 also saw a few new videos."

The first videos of Danny surfaced in 2002 on the website Elbow World, run by the series' creator and camera operator Jared Six. These videos came under the title “Tony the Tiger With Tourette’s Syndrome” and fictitiously described Danny (at the time unnamed) as "the guy that used to do the voice" of the eponymous Frosted Flakes mascot before retiring to live off residuals. For years the videos circulated amongst a dedicated fanbase until September 2004, when the fan site [=TourettesGuy=].com was formed and eventually became the main source for Tourette's Guy episodes. From November 2004 to October 2006, episodes with new content were added every few months. After a brief hiatus, three new episodes were added between January and May 2007. Throughout those years, fans began uploading the episodes on the then-fledging [=YouTube=] website, causing the popularity of the series to explode to new heights and becoming one of the site's first videos that went viral.

* CloudCuckooLander: Danny is an incredibly foul-mouthed one.

* [[invoked]]DudeNotFunny: Danny cracks up when Shirlena tells him about her grandfather's worsening Alzheimer's condition. She stops to ask in an annoyed tone if he's laughing.
* DudeNotFunny: Danny's father charges the cameraman after he laughs at him falling at Thanksgiving and trying to get up.

* {{Irony}}: Danny decides not to see to his son who fell down the stairs. The camera then points to his mug that says "WORLD'S GREATEST DAD".

** Danny kicks his foot up while wading in a pile of beer cans, causing one can to hit the camera with a clang. He later tosses his box fan at the cameraman while trying to deal with an animal in another pile.

** There's also the time Danny didn't know what Amazon was and asked his son how he payed for all the gifts he purchased on said website. His son had to tell Danny that Amazon is a website and not a co-worker of his.

* ContinuityNod: In "Buried Alive", we see several pairs of glasses among the garbage in one shot. Danny's dad was right, he really does change his glasses more than he changes his shirt!

* TrashOfTheTitans: The 2020 video, "Buried Alive", shows that huge piles of beer cans, pizza boxes, and other garbage had accumulated around the house three years after Danny won a scratch ticket. This has resulted in Danny's house becoming infested with flies, roaches, ants, moths, and... '''''[[NothingIsScarier some]]''''' [[NothingIsScarier unidentified creature]] moving around under the trash in the rec room.

* {{UsefulNotes/Ohio}}: There are several hints in videos that give away the show taking place in the Columbus area. These include the mention of Jolly Pirate Donuts and the TV lottery ([[http://web.archive.org/web/20030816031817/http://www.ohiolottery.com:80/Games/games.html circa 2003]]).

** Also, on several occasions clips of Danny swearing are replayed [[RuleOfThree three times]]. The first two instances happened with Danny yelling "ass" (in the "Bob Saget" video) and while Danny is bowling. The third came much later, when Danny kicks around piles of beer cans in "Buried Alive".
