History WebAnimation / DrTran

-->'''Grandma:''' I'm not supposed to be driving. I've never even ''had'' a license. (''Thump'') And ''I just keep hitting little boys''! What are the odds!\\

* ShoutOut: Right before having the seventh ''Dr. Tran Fan Mail'' episode inflicted on him, Tran is happily building a birdhouse and whistling the theme to [[HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man]].

* FromBadToWorse: Grandma Norma's vehicular homicide gets TurnedUpToEleven near the end of ''Toy Cack''. How, you ask?

* WouldHurtAChild: '''Averted'''. No matter what she does, Grandma Norma just can't stop hitting little boys.

* InfantImmortality: '''Averted'''. No matter what she does, Grandma Norma just can't stop hitting little boys.

* NoodleIncident: Leland's grandma taking off her top and being killed by Greg Kinnear.

-->'''Grandma:''' It sounds like [a little boy] is caught under the wheel. Here Leland, take this hacksaw and cut him free. Go ahead, climb out onto the hood. (''A large thump as the car shifts and runs smoother'') Oop, nevermind, that other little boy knocked him loose.

--> '''Grandma:''' "I just keep hitting little boys!"

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: One blink-and-you'll-miss-it part of the ''Roybertito's'' ad features [[spoiler:a man about to fellate a penis]].

--->'''Dr. Tran:''' You... are so ''bad!'' Are there no windows in your house? You come from somewhere very deep in the ocean, you are ''EVIL!'' Your family is a dog!

** This becomes increasingly apparent as the short wears on, to the point where Tran's insults are a cross between JapaneseRanguage and FloweryInsults;
--->'''Dr. Tran:''' "You... are so ''bad!'' Are there no windows in your house? You come from somewhere very deep in the ocean, you are ''EVIL!'' Your family is a dog!"

* OffscreenIntertia: A probably unintentional example due to the series being abandoned. The last we ever see of Tran, he's uncontrollably firing a seemingly endless supply of nails from a nailgun stuck to his hand. Apparently, he lives like this now.

--->'''Dr. Tran:''' "You... are so ''bad!'' Are there no windows in your house? You come from somewhere very deep in the ocean, you are ''EVIL!'' You bury as a dog!"

* AdultsAreUseless: There are three adults in the series, [[spoiler: and they're all senile old people.]]

* CrapsaccharineWorld

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: One blink-and-you'll-miss-it part of the ''Roybertito's'' ad features [[spoiler: a man about to fellate a penis]].

* MindScrew: ''The Furious Little Cinnamon Bun''. Really, [[spoiler: a giant penis comes down from the sky and crushes the bun?]]

* OhCrap: The look on [[spoiler: the talking chicken's face]] when Tran finally sees him in ''Fruit Hat''.

-->'''Grandpa''': ''[Discussing Hotel Soap]'' And he's so fuckin' wonderful, he could be the only reason people buy your smokable ice, or Ice-over-Miami.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: The old lady in ''Fruit Hat'' regularly gets cookie recipes from James Van Der Beek, and when he gets uppity with her, she reminds him "who showed you the [[DawsonsCreek creek]]?"

* {{Badass}}: Dr. Tran, according to the Narrator.
** BadassBookworm / GeniusBruiser: Dr. Tran has a [=PhD.=] in ''kicking your ass''.

* [[ThreeDMovie 3D Movie]]: For 5 seconds during "Here comes Dr. Tran".
** During an early (if not original) showing of "Here Comes Dr. Tran," 3D glasses were handed out to viewers, with little explanation. The joke was that all that preparation was for five seconds of unmoving 3D.
** Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Festival showing "Here Comes Dr. Tran" also handed out 3D glasses.

-->'''Narrator:''' '''''[[BlatantLies YES, HE IS!]]'''''
