- This has been the worst night of my life. I can't tell anyone what I have done tonight, not even Manny. Even a 3 year old knows what I've done is horrific... But I can't keep this to myself. That's why I'm writing in this diary. To keep my sanity.
Frank's Night Out is a Dark Comedy Diary of a Wimpy Kid fanfic (also known as LLB (Look-like books) by r/LodedDiper) originally written by u/ToothpickInCockhole for the subreddit r/LodedDiper. The story follows Frank Heffley as he reminisces about what happened last night involving unfortunate circumstances with Robert Jefferson. You can start reading here.
A sequel, Frank At Large, is ongoing.
My TROPES were GONE.
- Adaptational Villainy:
- While Robert was a Jerkass in the original material, he didn't resort to torture or deal meth unlike his Frank's Night Out counterpart.
- Frank becomes a lot more psychotic after losing his penis.
- Susan was a nice if clueless person in the source material, but she's willing to murder her own husband over cheating on her.
- All for Nothing: The lengths to which Frank must go to retrieve his penis, involving the deaths of Robert and Susan, were for naught as she dropped his penis into the acid.
- Armor-Piercing Question: Frank gives one to Robert after Robert reveals his plan to eat Frank's penis.Frank: But Robert... wouldn’t that make you GAY?
- Anyone Can Die: Only Frank, Rodrick, Greg, and Rowley make it out alive, and the last three are The Ghost.

- Big Bad Duumvirate: It turns out that Susan and Robert were working together to get revenge on Frank for his adultery.
- Bond One-Liner:Frank: Where are my balls, Benny?
Benny: R-Robert ate them.
Frank: WRONG ANSWER, FATASS!
- Disc-One Final Boss: While Robert drives most of the plot, he's later disposed of, and Susan takes center stage.
- Disposing of a Body: The very first page has Frank disposing of a body. It's heavily implied (and later confirmed) to be Susan.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Robert and Susan being willing to castrate Frank over banging Robert's wife definitely counts.
- Downer Ending: Frank successfully kills Susan and Robert but failed to save his penis. To make matters worse, he becomes a serial killer.
- The Dragon: Benny is one to Robert.
- Evil Feels Good: After killing Susan, Frank realizes he loves killing people and the ending implies he's going to become a Serial Killer.
- Eunuchs Are Evil: Seems to be this way regarding Frank, given that he later shoots up most of Frank's guards.
- Face–Heel Turn:
- Susan after learning Frank was cheating on her.
- Frank becomes a Serial Killer after the events of the story make him realize how much he loves killing people.
- The Ghost: Rowley, Greg, and Rodrick.
- Jerkass:
- Manny, as per usual, who spies on Frank when he has sex with Linda, then reveals this to Robert and calls him a "cucktard".
- Benny helps Robert in his plan, sells Frank's pants, and threatens Frank with a shotgun.
- Pyrrhic Victory: While Robert and Susan ultimately destroy Frank's penis, their lives were lost in the process.
- Refuge in Audacity: Frank escapes from the closet by using the water in a mop bucket to trick Benny into thinking that “his cock hole is leaking”, and then knocks him out with a mop.
- Serial Killer: The ending reveals Frank has become this.
- Shout-Out: During the part where Frank realized what happened to his penis, he makes a statement that "It was gone. Reduced to atoms."
- Slashed Throat: Robert gets his throat slashed by Frank.
