* UnsatisfiableCustomer: A staple of both the Jerkys in particular and the PrankCall in general. Absurd requests, relentless browbeating of innocent customer service people, and everything else you'd expect. See "Irate Tile Man," "Fava Beans" and many others.

* NoodleIncident: In "Car Salesman," Frank (although Brennan uses the name Paul in a moment of confusion) mentions to a potential employer that he had some differences with his boss, forcing him to find work in an entirely new area. At first he says he doesn't want to get into it, but Frank being Frank, the trope is then averted when he confesses to threatening customers if he needs to make a sale.

* FrivolousLawsuit: Attempted in "Punitive Damages." Sol, feeling like the lawyer he's talking to isn't giving him enough help regarding a motorcycle accident HE caused, declares that he's going to sue the lawyer in turn as punishment. Then he'll sue the lawyer's clients. It eventually snowballs to where he decides he'll just sue everybody, before finally giving up.

* BewareOfViciousDog: Frank's Rottweiler in "Piano Tuner," although it's of little surprise given that Frank admits to constantly kicking it around the apartment, making this TheDogBitesBack in literal form.

** And again in "Angry Camper's Dad," where Frank's kid claims to be getting beaten up on the baseball field before the other kids lick the bat and... well, you get the idea.

As per the trope, he doesn't elaborate, but given that it's Frank it's unlikely it ended diplomatically.

* AmbiguousSituation: The strange call "Security Service," where Jack calls asking for help for dealing with his raging insecurity, up to and including sporadic beatings to keep him in line. Instead of the expected reaction, the "victim" seems completely up for it and says he'll gladly do it, charging $100 a session for that kind of "therapy." Either the guy is an amazing actor that is playing along on the spot without so much as a change in voice, or he's completely serious.



* DepravedDentist: The call "Dental Malpractice" features a dentist who assaults a patient for no discernible reason before putting him under sedation, where the patient wakes up with his pants unbuttoned.

* AssShove: The theoretical plan for the tennis ball machine in "A Little Emergency," which is loaded with lubricated boiled potatoes. It results in the exact injuries you'd expect, plus a dose of EyeScream when someone turns around to see if the machine is lined up properly.

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: "Sol's Nude Beach" reveals that, shockingly, the normally-timid Sol wants to join his friend Jim at a nude beach, all of which he reveals to the poor guy's very confused mother. Of course, it being a Sol call, he still mentions being tied to the pier and being dragged behind boats against his will at his previous beach, as is his lot in life.
