History YMMV / FilthyFrank

** "ADELE IS FAT" saw the introduction of Frank's trademark hairdo, and it was also the point where Frank began using his iconic GutturalGrowler voice all the time. Prior to this episode, Frank had another more regular voice, and he started using his growling voice on occasion.

* WidgetSeries: The whole appeal of the show, apart from being hilariously vulgar, is how totally weird it is.

* HilariousInHindsight: In "Phone Call To Sesame Street" (posted in 2011) Frank says "the only reason I watch your show is because you guys are a bunch of dysfunctional retards". Now, with looking at the current version of the show, with a bunch of dysfunctional, AmbiguousDisorder-bearing madmen...

* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: To ensure that every track on "Pink Season" gets an explicit label, "Dog Festival Directions" has only two "shit"s, while "We Fall Again" has "fucking", despite both of them being extremely tame songs for the album.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The moment in "Jungle Boy" where Pink Guy is incoherently screaming.

* AcceptableTargets: ''Everyone''. As Frank summarized in his philosophy: [[EqualOpportunityOffender "Everyone gets shit."]]
** When it comes to Frank's "30 different cultures" videos...
*** Many jokes are made about Myanmar.
*** "Nobody gives a shit about Belgium."
*** To the USA: "No one likes you guys!"

* OvershadowedByControversy: {{Subverted}}. While Filthy Frank is known by some for his crude humor, he unfortunately gotten a lot of bad traction from press media after a clip on how to commit suicide was use on a video that a mother complained after her kid watched. The fans of the show couldn't have cared less and it blew over quite quickly.

** Speaking negatively about the series on deviantART will get you flamed to death.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

*** This may double as HilariousInHindsight for some, but he's singing about Nickelodeon girls in-universe to ''Dan Schneider'', who was eventually outed as exhibiting pedophilic tendencies near his female co-stars. This is almost certainly the intended joke, as even before he was ousted from Nickolodeon, Dan's tendencies had been inferred/speculated on widely by the internet due to some of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl0OuXw_mTM incredibly creepy]] things he would have his underage actresses do in his shows.

* GeniusBonus: [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=95QpJScedEM HOOD RICH]] samples a bit from ''Manga/ElfenLied'''s opening.
** In "I'M A LEMON," Lemon is seen lying down on a bed hitting himself while yelling "TWENTY ONE! TWENTY ONE! [[RuleOfThree TWENTY ONE!]]" This, combined with the insane mess that is the brief video, suggests that this MadnessMantra is a reference to Down's Syndrome, which is caused by - what else - ''three'' copies of [[ArcWords chromosome]] ''21.''
* GrowingTheBeard: "I HATE STUPID GIRLS". After several videos of what appears to be a teenager ranting about his life, this is the one where Frank finally slips into his role as the growling madman we know and "love". The video quality and editing also grows better.

** When it comes to Pink Guy's rapping, his ramen rap seemed to be his definitive turning point.
* HarsherInHindsight:

* HarsherInHindsight: One of Frank's snide jokes about "virtually fucking a computer" [[TakeThat calls out Steve Jobs]]. This was three years after Jobs' death.

* MoralEventHorizon: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFQQALduhzA talking shit about anime]]

* JerkassWoobie: The titular Frank himself may qualify. While he's an {{angst}}y, edgy teenager, his life is implied to be a mess. He got depressed and tried to kill himself, was

* ValuesDissonance: Many of the offensive jokes Frank made back when the videos came out would no longer be acceptable today, even with the [[EqualOpportunityOffender whole premise]] of the show.

* BrokenBase: The fan made reboot, mostly between people happy to see some form of continuation of the show, vs people who think the new Frank is just retreading old ground by copying a style of humor even Joji thought was getting stale, not helped that the original series is so highly regarded by internet denizens [[ToughActToFollow that the reboot doesn't compare]].

** His "People I Hate" video predicted the [[https://www.knowyourmeme.com/memes/karen "Karen" meme.]]

* EarWorm:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAm_1PGWfrE "Gibe da, gibe da, gibe da pusi b0ss"...]]
** Pink Guy makes a ''lot'' of songs that utilize LyricalDissonance to the extreme but have melodies so catchy very few people will actually care. See "Fried Noodles", "Bad Words", and "Kill Yourself" for some good examples.

* InternetBackdraft: When Joji appeared in the "FILTHY FRANK EXPOSES HIMSELF", there was an ''immense'' negative flux of fans that got annoyed and angered due to Joji [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks breaking character and deciding to do vlogs]].This resulted with Joji later on shutting down his vlogs, cancelling the ''Joji'' album, and overall feeling uncomfortable with the huge swarm of fans.
