History WesternAnimation / AngryKid

* BathroomControl: Subverted in the short "Piss". AK has to go while he's in the car with his father. His dad is annoyed by this and initially refuses to pull over, but he [[JarPotty hands him a bottle to use]] when AK insists that it's urgent.

''Angry Kid'' is a British StopMotion series of shorts created by Creator/AardmanAnimations, involving a redheaded BrattyHalfPint who usually harasses his father, sister and, well, practically every character in the show. These shorts originally aired on the Creator/Channel4 block ''4Later'' before being aired on BBC Three as well as the now-defunct video website Atom.com. Unlike most Aardman productions, these series of shorts use an animation technique known as pixilation, in which the live actor, who portrayed the body of Angry Kid had to wear masks and use small movements to create a stop motion effect; this was dropped in Series 3 as the masks were replaced with CGI.

* TookALevelInKindness: Downplayed, whilst certainly not "kinder", Dad is noticably less aggressive towards AK in Season 3.

* AnimatedShockComedy: Fits this trope to a T, and wears it with pride.

* AbusiveParents: Angry Kid's father shows traces of this, especially in the first series and the special, wherein the latter we learn that his behaviour caused to [[spoiler: Angry Kid's mother leaving him]]. However, this was toned down in the revival series, in which he showed more empathy and acted more of a good parent.

* ButtMonkey: All of the recurring characters, including [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Angry Kid himself.]]

** In "Jackanory", when Angry kid brings in Speccy [[ItMakesSenseInContext dressed as Little Red Riding Hood]], he originally makes a comment that "she" looks like a "bender"[[note]]An offensive term describing a person who has changed their gender, which is [[OnceAcceptableTargets strongly considered to be taboo in recent years[[/note]]]]. When the episode was given an HD edit on Website/YouTube, AK instead calls Speccy a "bellend" and refers to him as a "he" rather than a "she".

These shorts originally aired on the Creator/Channel4 block ''4Later'' before being put on the now defunct video website Atom.com.

The show had ran for two series between 1999 and 2002, and had a revival series on Website/YouTube in 2016. In addition, a few special shorts were made, ranging from the "Handbags" music video and the BBC ''Who Do You Think You Are?'' special. A fourth series was released in late 2019.

* AbusiveParents: Angry Kid's father shows traces of this, especially in the first series and the special, where in the latter we learn that his behaviour lead to [[spoiler: the divorce of him and Angry Kid's mother]]. However, this was toned down in Series 3, where he showed some empathy and acted more of a good parent.

** AK blurts this out during "Tourettes":

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Most of the episode titles and their plots (for example: an episode called "Chips" involves the main character eating chips, and another called "Queen's Speech" where the main character does a Queen's speech styled video).

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Apparently, according to the Series 1 DVD, Angry Kid describes some of the most basic things he does in the shorts as "adventures":

When the episode was given an HD edit on Website/YouTube, AK instead calls Speccy a "bellend" instead, and he also refers him as a "he" rather than a "she".

** The episode "Road Safety" is basically a tribute to old 1970's Public Information Films, with the Green Cross Code man being lampooned.
** In the background during his "vlogs", you can see that Angry Kid has framed photos of [[{{Series/ChuckleVision}} the Chuckle Brothers]] and Homepride Fred on the shelf.

* CountryMatters:

** In "I-Spy", AK tries to come up with a word beginning with C by saying "cunt-stubble", but quickly tries to play off that he meant to say "constable".
