* DeathOfAChild: In one sketch about pregnancy, a surgeon eats a newborn baby whole, umbilical cord and all, only to reveal it was a magic trick, since he pulls the perfectly healthy baby out of nowhere. [[spoiler: And then the assisting surgeon asks where the other baby is, since the mother is having twins. The head surgeon then flips out, shouting that he just ruined the trick, implying that he really DID eat a newborn whole.]]

No real theme to the show other than animated shorts in different styles that, par for the course of the network, either deal with satire, BlackComedy, [[GrossoutShow Gross Humor]] and generally CrossingTheLineTwice. Think ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' crossed with the recent televised version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' (the Creator/CartoonNetwork one, not ''MADtv'') and you pretty much get the gist of it.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Twice, three times, four times, this show doesn't give a crap about ''how'' many lines it crosses, just as long as someone, somewhere is laughing, even it's simply out of how incredibly awkward and disgusting some sketches can get.

* DrivenToSuicide: One sketch (written by ''Webcomic/ThePerryBibleFellowship'' creator, Nicholas Gurewitch) dealt with a corporation whose stock rises when a certain employee gets injured. They corporates then set about ruining the man's life until he ultimately kills himself. Don't worry though, [[LaserGuidedKarma karma kicks in]] as their stock plummets as soon as the man dies. And then the head of said corporation gets a paper cut and the stock increases slightly. HereWeGoAgain.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: ''Dick Genie'' sketches (about a boy who has a genie living in his penis...yes really) revolve around this. For example, the boy wishes he had the power to see and hear breasts underneath any female he wants. He gets his wish--then his mother shows up to deliver his lunch he forgot. You can see where this is going.

''[=TripTank=]'' is a animated sketch comedy series that airs on ''Creator/ComedyCentral'' in 2014.

!! ''[=TripTank=]''' has the following tropes:

* ArtShift: Made from different animators, so this is a given.
* AttentionWhore: ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Suicidal Attention Whore Chicken]]''
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The first sketch of Dick Genie (about a boy who has a genie living in his penis...yes really) has the boy wishing he had the power to see and hear breast underneath any female he wants. He get's his wish...then his mother shows up to deliver his lunch he forgot. You can see where this is going.
* BlackComedy: All over the place, nearly all the sketches deal with it in some form or another.
* DrivenToSuicide: One sketch dealt with a corporation whose stock rises when a certain employee gets injured. They corporates then set about ruining the man's life until he ultimately kills himself. Don't worry though, [[LaserGuidedKarma karma kicks in]] as their stock plummets as soon as the man dies. And then the head of said corporation gets a paper cut and the stock increases slightly.

* KarmaHoudini: The Suicidal Attention Whore Chicken so far has always gotten what he wants and always blows off whomever he's trying to upstage once he gets it.
* {{Gorn}}: Yes this pops up too. Again, airing on Comedy Central here.
* GrossoutShow / ToiletHumor: Farting jokes, check. Jokes about cumming and unnatural sex, check. Feces and Pooping, check. Vomiting, check.
* InfantImmortality: '''Subverted hard'''
* RealityEnsues: A few cases, a cartoon fox manages to kill a rabbit but it's not quite dead and he finds himself sickened in having to eat it. And a cartoon rocket tries to take some kids to the moon for some fun, but forgets space doesn't have any oxygen.
* SketchComedy
* SelfDeprecation: A recurring sketch is in-universe viewers calling in to the Trip Tank studios and a majority of them complaining about the sketches and how they suck.
* SoundtrackDissonance: The second sketch of ''Versus'' has this as a little league soccer team slaughters the Mongolians amongst happy music.
* SubvertedKidsShow: A few sketches have a cutesy backdrop and then delves into some dark territory very fast.
