History Series / BlarkAndSon

* DramaBomb: "Son Swap" was intended as a way to help with some wacky sitcom antics. By the end of it, [[spoiler: Stacey is passed out drunk while Junior tries cuddling into his unconscious body]].

* NinjaLog: Blark somehow switches himself with a ''pumpkin'' when Fletch chains him to a chair in "Only an Ex-GI Can Stop This Embarrassing Dad".

* DarkerAndEdgier: Season two downplays some of the comedic elements in favor of more CharacterDevelopment and plot progression. With some episodes (such as "Son Swap" and "Mr. Pockets") being pretty devoid of humor and ending [[DownerEnding on pretty depressing notes]] that aren't PlayedForLaughs.

* ToughLove: Blark is an interesting example. Unlike most cases, Blark is very ''vocal'' about his love for Son and makes it very apparent that all his actions he does to Son are done in an effort to turn him into a man. That said, his ''actions'' frequently lead Son to a world of ire, danger, and embarrassment. His lessons over not telling lies and his chimpanzee brother being the most offending examples.

** Sometimes PlayedForDrama with Stacey Swanson. The man lives life passing from failure to failure and frequently ends up getting hurt. To make matters worse, the show as of now only has two seasons and ends before his character can find any sort of catharsis. [[spoiler: His killing of Chimpy does get him the respect of Junior however, considering him a real dad for doing so and hugging him. This is despite the fact that Chimpy was no longer a threat.]]

* ButtMonkey: Sometimes PlayedForDrama with Stacey Swanson. The man lives life passing from failure to failure and frequently ends up getting hurt. To make matters worse, the show as of now only has two seasons and ends before his character can find any sort of catharsis. [[spoiler: His killing of Chimpy does get him the respect of Junior however, considering him a real dad for doing so and hugging him. This is despite the fact that Chimpy was no longer a threat.]]

* TakeThat: Son's behavior throughout episode 9 is a pretty blatant one to Andrew Tate and his public persona inspiring young men to take after him. The punchline at the end is that [[spoiler: Rocko Flash is a [[BestialityIsDepraved bestiality]] pedophile]].

-->'''Blark''': Son come back! Ohoho you sound hilarious haha...Oh boy...I really Blarked that one didnt I?

* BlackComedy: The series is rife with it, whether it's Zeke bringing up the awful things in his country, Blark or Fletch talking about their past in the military, or any of the things that keep happening to Stacey.

** When granted some FamousLastWords, Fletch describes how he'd lost his love, his family, and "a variety of Pomeranians I loved like they was my own children."

* CouchGag: The "Room Rules" note on the inside of Son's door changes with each episode.

** "Son Swap" ends with Junior sadly trying to sleep with Stacey on the cold floor after he had knocked himself out slipping on a wine bottle.

* RealMenWearPink: At the climax of the Season Two finale, instead of a dramatic fight, Son [[spoiler: instead empathizes with Chimpy for all the pain he's been through and offers a sympathetic ear before giving him a CooldownHug.]] Even Junior calls the act that of "a real man".
