History WebVideo / FilthyFrank

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: During Frank's "I HATE HIGH SCHOOL," he states that it's good to be away from hell during summer break; these places include high school, college, and North Korea.

* AnAesop: "RAT CHEF": An AppealToTradition may not be taken well by others you try to introduce them to, and if such an appeal puts others in harm's way or otherwise infringes on their morals or rights, they have every right to do so.

** The first videos of "Filthy Frank" lack Frank's trademark GutturalGrowler voice. Fans in the comments section joke "Frank before throat cancer". It also has a distinct lack of any of his wild characters the show is known for.

After seven years of activity, the show suddenly went quiet after the release of the ''Francis of the Filth'' book, which addressed the show's lore in its entirety. Three months after the book's release, Miller broke the silence to [[https://twitter.com/FilthyFrank/status/946807308541218816 officially announce]] that he was done with both the ''Filthy Frank'' show and comedy as a whole, citing [[ArtistDisillusionment his loss of interest in the show]] (specifically that he no longer enjoyed making the videos) and the severe effects that the show had on his health (including throat tissue damage, presumably from years of doing the Frank voice).

While the show was generally built video by video, with Frank ranting on a certain topic, it also branched out into a [[MythArc wider lore]] that grew increasingly detailed as the show went on. In said lore, the show takes place in the Frank-Verse, composed of a variety of different realms [[DimensionalTraveller traveled through frequently]] by a multitude of characters, [[ActingForTwo the vast majority of which are played by Miller]]. The main hub realm is the Nairobi Desert, where Frank has an apartment that he makes his videos in. While Frank and co. go on many a misadventure, the ever-looming threat of an entity known as [[JerkassGod the Dark Lord Chin Chin]] always stalks the Frank-Verse, bringing destruction and terror everywhere it goes.

The show is [[SurrealHumor truly surreal]], frequently indulging in StylisticSuck and {{Random Events Plot}}s. It's also rife with every form of VulgarHumor you could think of, not least because of Frank's mindset that [[EqualOpportunityOffender all types of people are fair game for mockery]] ("Here on the ''Filthy Frank'' show, we support prejudice equality: ''everyone'' gets shit"). As a result, the show falls through the floorboards of [[CrossesTheLineTwice "offensive"]] as well as [[BlackComedy several more floors beneath that]].

* BlackAndGrayMorality: The "good guy" on the show rapes and kills baby animals [[ForTheEvulz for fun]]. The "bad guy" is a [[BigBad greatly feared]] [[HumanoidAbomination entity]].

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: The Jojivlogs channel. Not only was it completely different from the Frank-Verse as a whole (very calm and down-low compared to the Frank-Verse's [[SurrealHumor surreal]] [[VulgarHumor grossout]] [[WidgetSeries madness]]), but it in itself was non-linear from episode to episode, composed out of whatever the fuck George comes across in his day-to-day life. It is, in lowest terms, "meta".

* SanitySlippage: Arguably, the whole series. Frank was formerly an angry teenager posting rants that were mostly school-related. Hate comments caused him to devolve into what we know now, [[CrossesTheLineTwice and]] [[VulgarHumor the show]] [[CrapsackWorld followed]].

** Around the interlude of "Pussy Doe" by Santa's Brother, he talks about [[spoiler: his [[DarkAndTroubledPast traumatized memory of dealing with]] [[AbusiveParents Uncle Brad]].]]

Created by George "[[Music/{{Joji}} Joji]]" Miller, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/TVFilthyFrank Filthy Frank]]'' (also called ''The Filthy Frank Show'') is a series of comedic videos/"vlogs" depicting the life and adventures of a man by the name of Filthy Frank, summarized in the description of his main Website/YouTube channel as "everything a person should not be".

Frank has virtually nothing in the way of social inhibition, being the type of person to find pleasure in stabbing baby animals and find the sight of a dead cat to be sexually arousing. He possesses a self-dubbed "Ph.D in Internet retardation", which grants him the authority to examine and satirize any prominent stereotype and trend of the times. Subsequently, he's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to memes, and has done a great deal to support the FountainOfMemes that the series produced.

The show is [[WidgetSeries truly]] [[SurrealHumor surreal]], frequently indulging in StylisticSuck and {{Random Events Plot}}s. It's also rife with every form of vulgar and crass comedy you could think of, considering Frank's [[EqualOpportunityOffender "prejudice equality"]] mindset that everyone is fair game for mockery. As a result, the show falls through the floorboards of [[CrossesTheLineTwice "offensive"]] as well as [[BlackComedy several more]] [[DeadBabyComedy floors beneath that]].

However, as much of a draw as the show's over-the-top nature was, it would be remiss not to mention how, despite the genuine following he gained on the Internet, the character of Frank was conceived by Miller as the exact inverse of someone deserving of an online following and, by extension, a parody of social media's effects on modern culture. As the show's main channel description claims, Frank's exaggerated prejudice and depravity display the absurdity of such traits in normal people, and the degree of his success with this excessive personality highlights the ease with which outrageous, off-color content can gain traction online. Granted, said description also ends with the sentence [[MoodWhiplash "OR MAYBE IM JUST FUCKING RETARDED."]], so perhaps take this argument with a grain of salt.

* NotSafeForWork: This show is loaded with violent, sexual, and ethnically offensive humor that makes it totally workplace-inappropriate.
