* EstablishingSeriesMoment: Doubling as both this AND EstablishingCharacterMoment for the whole family in the first 5 minutes of episode one. Frank drives home through a typical, idyllic 70's neighborhood of cars, pastel homes and beautiful front lawns, sits down at the table with an attentive and caring family, and begins to tell a story about work- only to fly into a rage from a single phone-call during dinner, establishing his anger problems and setting the profane tone for the rest of the series. Kevin reacts [[DumbassTeenageSon with disgust while obviously being high,]] Sue attempts to calm him down but fails and tries to deal with the fallout, Bill shirks away in fear and Sue ignores him. The last words before the title sequence are "GET THE [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] OUT OF HERE!", said by Frank to a ''child.''

''F is for Family'' is a 2015 Creator/{{Netflix}} original animated sitcom that takes place in TheSeventies -- when TV dinners seemed like space-age technology, boxing was the greatest thing on television, and kids would ride their bikes behind mosquito trucks and play in the sweet-smelling pesticide clouds. The series stars comedian Creator/BillBurr as foul-mouthed patriarch Frank Murphy. The other members of the family include Frank's wife, Sue; DumbassTeenageSon Kevin; younger son Bill; BrattyHalfPint Maureen, and a dog.

The show follows the Murphys through typical DomCom conflicts peppered with profanity. One main difference between ''F is for Family'' and traditional animated sitcoms, however, is that there is no ResetButton: Conflicts pile up over the show's six episodes with disastrous results. It is also the antithesis of family friendly and features mainly BlackComedy. The show was written by Burr himself in partnership with Michael Price, best known for his work on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Comparisons in style and tone can be drawn with ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'', another Netflix original series.

** In the first episode, Kevin vouches for his younger brother several times- he saves him from bullies and [[spoiler: takes the blame for the broken T.V when it was Bills fault. He also protects his brother from his father, due to knowing that the timid Bill can't take his rage.]]

* RedHeadedBully: Bill is tormented by an older kid with red hair (despite being a redhead himself).

* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Averted hard in the first episode. [[spoiler: Bill's boss dies, leading to Frank getting a promotion, which he feels lucky about. When Sue calls him out on this and points out a man is dead, he just goes "Yeah, but he was kind of a dick."]]

* GrewASpine: This seems to be the point of Bill's arc. Though he tries to grow a spine several times throughout the series, it never ends well.

* PetTheDog: Frank goes through a lot to get Kevin tickets to his favorite band.
