''Dr. Tran'' is an animated web series by [[http://www.lonesausage.com/ Lone Sausage Productions]] that follows an unfortunate 5-year-old boy whose life has been turned upside down by a disembodied "[[InAWorld trailer narrator]]"-type voice. It was all started by the 2003 short ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO0kRE5OTZI Here comes Dr. Tran]]'', in which the {{Narrator}} describes Tran as a secret superagent and the star of at least 30,000 Dr. Tran movies (and a doctor), while Tran tries (unsuccessfully) to drive the voice away. The short has quickly become popular through MemeticMutation.
Other shorts in the series include:
* '''Dr. Tran's Quiet Log Time''' - Tran enjoys a quiet evening by a campfire. HilarityEnsues
* '''Summer Splash''' - Introducing Leland the Cough Drop and Fat Friend, who argue whether Tran is a superhero or not.
* '''Mr. Tran & The Toy Cack''' - Tran and Leland are driven by Leland's grandma to a toy store.
* '''100% ICE''' - Grandpa lectures Tran, Fat Friend and Leland on how to advertise their products. Introduces Hotel Soap, to whom cocaine is like vitamins.
* '''Fruit Hat''' - Tran is sitting in a subway station. An old lady's hat asks him to buy it chewing gum.
* '''Dr. Tran Fanmail''' - FourthWallMailSlot series in the style of the original short.

** In one of the fan mail segments, Tran gets a letter from a little girl with AIDS asking Tran to make an appearance or to donate some money to her hospital. Tran thinks the girl sounds nice (even if doesn't know what AIDS are), while the Narrator basically tells her to go bitch to someone else. He then rubs it in by saying Tran is too busy at the "Venezuelan drug lord dance party", wearing sunglasses "black as the night [she] got cancer!"
--->'''Tran''': What is cancer? I thought you said AIDS?
--->'''Narrator''': Same thing.
** In another one, Tran gets a letter from a guy named Keith who says that he and his wife understand that Tran is just a little boy who is being misidentified with someone else, all the while being accused of doing horrible things "for America". Tran actually asks to answer this letter, but the Narrator decides that Tran should read another one about a kid asking questions about boners, all the while Tran is pleading to talk to Keith.
* MemeticSexGod: Dr. Tran, at least according to the {{Narrator}} in-universe.
* MerchandiseDriven: Parodied. In-universe, you can apparently buy anything with Dr. Tran on it. This gives Tran a hard time; denying being famous is a bit difficult when one is standing in a Dr. Tran Inflatabe Pool.

* OverlyLongGag: "Where are you going to take us?"

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Leland's grandma.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: The old lady in ''Fruit Hat'' thinks Tran is an ugly little girl.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Yes, he ''is'' called Fat Friend.
** His actual name is Barbara.
* [[GirlsHaveCooties Girls Are Grody!]]
* GratuitousEnglish: "Dear Dr. Tran, Why I always have so an hard feeling in my pants at the morning?" from Fan Mail episode "Keith Cares"
* TheGump: 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]]?"
* HumiliationConga: Any skit that involves Tran and a narrator can be viewed as this. A little Asian boy whose entire world is being manipulated by some unseen voice, the situation gradually becoming more and more hilariously insane at Tran's expense, until he's a knotted ball of frustration. The first Dr. Tran short and ''Nail Gun'' are prime examples of this.
* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: Leland's grandma gives one in "Dr. Tran and the Toy Cack", and it goes on and on until Tran says, "[[BigShutUp SHUT UP]]! WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP ''RIGHT NOW?!''"

* ItGotWorse: Grandma Norma's vehicular homicide gets TurnedUpToEleven near the end of ''Toy Cack''. How, you ask?
-->'''Grandma Norma''': How did we wind up at the children's hospital?
* JapaneseRanguage: In the original short: ''"I've never been to Amellica!!"''
* JerkAss: The talking chicken and Grandpa, but especially the Narrator. He apparently loves screwing around with Tran's head, and his reality, [[ForTheEvulz for no reason.]] We don't even know why Tran is the one he screws around with. [[YourMileageMayVary One way to look at it]] is that the Narrator really believes Tran is an action superstar, which is sort of backed up by the appearance of two alternate Trans, one in the 1940s, another in the 2040s. Of course, given his power, he could've just created those two Trans solely to mess with Tran once again. Two examples come to mind:
** In one of the fan mail segments, Tran gets a letter from a little girl with AIDS asking Tran to make an appearance or to donate some money to her hospital. Tran thinks the girl sounds nice (even if doesn't know what AIDS are), while the Narrator basically tells her to go bitch to someone else. He then rubs it in by saying Tran is too busy at the "Venezuelan drug lord dance party", wearing sunglasses "black as the night [she] got cancer!"
--->'''Tran''': What is cancer? I thought you said AIDS?
--->'''Narrator''': Same thing.
** In another one, Tran gets a letter from a guy named Keith who says that he and his wife understand that Tran is just a little boy who is being misidentified with someone else, all the while being accused of doing horrible things "for America". Tran actually asks to answer this letter, but the Narrator decides that Tran should read another one about a kid asking questions about boners, all the while Tran is pleading to talk to Keith.
* MemeticSexGod: Dr. Tran, at least according to the {{Narrator}} in-universe.
* MerchandiseDriven: Parodied. In-universe, you can apparently buy anything with Dr. Tran on it. This gives Tran a hard time; denying being famous is a bit difficult when one is standing in a Dr. Tran Inflatabe Pool.
** The series also include two Dr. Tran product commercials: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM9UVCG_K9o&feature=PlayList&p=A33989B65116A425&playnext_from=PL&index=20 Peanut Butter Square Hula Quest ]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-H1JTWXhKU&feature=PlayList&p=A33989B65116A425&playnext_from=PL&index=17 Dickable Afternoons]], plus an ad for a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JW133F0AK4 fictional restaurant]] that uses Tran's image in their products.
* MindScrew: ''The Furious Little Cinnamon Bun''. Really, [[spoiler: a giant penis comes down from the sky and crushes the bun?]]
** After crossing the border.
*** And ordering a Cerveza
** Also, the entire Roybertito's clip.
* MotorMouth: ''Roybertito's'' narrator.
* NoodleIncident: Leland's grandma taking off her top and being killed by Greg Kinnear.
* OhCrap: The look on [[spoiler: the talking chicken's face]] when Tran finally sees him in ''Fruit Hat''.
* OnlySaneMan: Tran, barring somewhat of an obsession with soap.
* OverlyLongGag: "Where are you going to take us?"
* RealityWarper: The Narrator, it seems. Aside from, well, being a disembodied voice, his achievements include: Changing Tran's clothes, turning the scene into 3D, summoning a heavy rain during a sunny day and, though this is probably stretching the trope, contacting Tran's past and future selves.
* [[RealTrailerFakeMovie Real Trailer Fake 30,000 Movies]]
** Well, for the most part. There actually ''is'' a "Dr. Tran 30,000 DVD Box Set," but it doesn't actually contain 30,000 movies.
* {{Retraux}}: The Dickable Afternoons commercial, zipping in and out of sepia and black and white and full color.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Grandma Norma in ''Toy Cack'.
-->'''Grandma Norma''': BAIL OUT!
-->'''Tran''': No, wait - she left!
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: The Old Man in the ''100% Ice'' shorts.
* SexSells: One of the bits of advertising advice that Grampa gives to Fat Friend.
** The narrator constantly espouses Tran's sexual prowess.
** One of the posters has topless female spies on it.
* StylisticSuck: The Peanut Butter Hula Quest and Dickable Afternoon commercials.
* SyntheticVoiceActor: "I love Dr. Tran. I am an Asian male."
* TearsOfBlood: One of the guys in the Roybertito's ad.
* VisualPun: Look at that fat cock!
-->Sorry Doctor, that was fucked up. [[spoiler:It was a rooster. Come on.]]
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield
* YankTheDogsChain: The "Keith Cares" Fanmail episode.
* YourMom - The narrator either has Tran kill his mom, or kill ''your'' mom, but not before giving her the best orgasm ever.
* YouSayTomato: Fat Friend says "hev" for have, "melk" for milk, and "pellow" for pillow.
