11	----
12	!!''Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights'' contains examples of:
13	* AddictionPowered: The premise of ''Series/TheATeam'' parody.
14	-->'''B.A. Baracus''': You'd better not be giving me no drugged milk so you can get me on no damn plane!\
15	'''Hannibal Smith''': No, this has PCP in it to give me the strength to fight you. ''[Hannibal chugs the milks then slugs BA unconscious]'' We ain't even getting on a plane! Who else wants some?!
16	* AddledAddict: "Knight Rider" explores the idea that Michael is a drug addict who is [[MushroomSamba hallucinating his crime fighting career, including the voice of KITT]].
17	* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Spoofed at the end of each show with a deeply perverted cowboy delivering a deeply wrong message.
18	* AudienceParticipation: Each episode begins with Frankie singling out someone in the audience and making fun of him/her.
19	* BackForTheFinale: The cowboy at the end of the final episode is briefly seen lecturing the "Magic Wee Hing" kids, who return after their one appearance in a previous episode while punching the "Wee Hing" in the face.
20	* BlackComedy: This show, almost in its entirety, consists of darker than the darkest pits of hell comedy.
21	* BlackComedyRape: Invoked in the ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' parody, where in his performance review, ComicBook/{{Robin}}'s fondest moment was apparently "using stolen Wayne Enterprises technology to swap bodies with ComicBook/TheJoker and fulfil your lifelong ambition of fucking yourself"
22	-->'''Robin''': He ain't smiling anymore, baby!
23	* TheBlank: Seen in the Untitled Street sketch.
24	* BritishBrevity: Six episodes, that's it.
25	* CatchPhrase: "Fatherfuckers", because no one cares about the word "motherfuckers" anymore.
26	* DarkerAndEdgier: The entire series represents the darkest and edgiest depths that Frankie has ever reached.
27	* DeconstructiveParody:
28	** ''Series/KnightRider'' and ''Film/TheGreenMile'', to name but two.
29	** "The Magic Wee Hing" is ''Literature/FiveChildrenAndIt'', but if the kids were [[KidsAreCruel absolute bastards]].
30	** Another sketch involved ''Series/TheATeam'' as a bunch [[ShellShockedVeteran of Vietnam veterans]] whose experiences had made them [[AxCrazy psychopathic]] [[AddictionPowered drug addicts]]. Cue copious amounts of drug taking and extreme violence.
31	** But probably the darkest parody they've done would've been ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' parody.
32	* EmbarrassingSuperpower: One sketch has a professor who comes up with masturbation-powered TimeTravel.
33	* {{Flanderization}}: As opposed to ''Series/MockTheWeek'', Frankie's act here is almost entirely offensive for the sake of being offensive.
34	* GrievousHarmWithABody: In ''the A Team'' parody, Face manages to [[OffWithHisHead decapitate]] an enemy mook by swinging Murdoch around by the legs.
35	* IntimateHealing: In the "Green Mile" parody, the central character heals people in much the same way as in [[Film/TheGreenMile the source material]]; however, he does it by having sex with them.
36	* KidsAreCruel: The whole point of the "Wee Hing" sketch.
37	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Averted with George Michael's Highway Code.
38	* RunningGag: The cowboy at the end of almost each episode and masturbation jokes.
39	* SketchShow
40	* TakeThat: Against Creator/TheBBC trying to be politically correct with ''Untitled Street''.
