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''. |
