5----
6!!Tropes:
7* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Oh so much. For instance, The entirety of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeHlVo__Gmk "The Substitute"]]''
8-->''"Um... Harrison, right? A slave to his raging violent patriotism, he assembled a band of mercenary Frenchmen and won back control of the US after 24 years of Indian rule. His armies killed millions of the dastardly oppressive savages."''
9* ArtisticLicenseTraditionalChristianity: ''[[http://youtu.be/zhEUWobdXqY "Jesus Fucking Christ"]]''
10** For instance, Frank lists some of the disciples as [[Literature/TheFourGospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, John]], Tommy, Bunter, Tango, Sketty, Burno, and Churno. They also spun whatever Jesus did into sellable teachings and deeds. [[spoiler:They also arranged to have Jesus killed, while blaming it on Judas who was planning on killing himself anyway.]]
11-->''"He and little John the Baptist would go on erotic weekend beach adventures, excluding the rest of the team - it's true shit! Google that shit man!"''
12** Subverted with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bar3GOzDNzg Frank's bizarre lecture on the story of Sodom and Gomorrah]], which is an [[ShownTheirWork only slightly exaggerated]] summary of [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis 19]].
13* BadBoss: The Dean of the college constantly messes with Frank and Steve and goes to extreme lengths to prank them including wearing a full body suit to pose as Frank's blind date.
14* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: JFK. "He was a Hypercharismatic Telepathical Knight."
15* DeadpanSnarker: Steve; emphasis on deadpan.
16* ExtremeOmnisexual: In the case of the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah, they'll do anything at all. Including rocks painted to look like God's Face.
17* FloweryInsults: "I was once like you. Then I grew a brain, a dick, and a heart."
18* HolyHalo
19* JesusWasWayCool
20* JerkAss: Steve, so much. Also, the Dean.
21* LemonyNarrator: Frank mostly but Steve too (although its intentional on his part whereas for Frank it comes completely natural).
22* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in ''[[WorldOfWeirdness "The Substitute" ]]''.
23* PrecisionFStrike: Numerous
24* PrisonRape: Alluded to in "''Prisoner Christmas''"
25* {{Sabotutor}}: The entirety of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeHlVo__Gmk "The Substitute"]]''.
26-->''"[[UsefulNotes/JohnTyler Tyler's]] achievements were overshadowed by his apparent disbelief in witches, which led to his transformation into one of the rare breeds of horse that Congress then had deemed fuckable by law."''
27-->''"And it seems we're out of slides here, so, if anyone has any complaints about the tone or interpretation of this chapter, you can take it up with Professor Frank. I - I have read his thoroughly offensive notes verbatim here and I'd like to express that I do not share his colorful take on history. His home number is 345-1212, so uh... so good luck on this crazy fuckin' test."''
28* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Neely lost the rights to Cox and Combes from WebAnimation/CoxAndCombesWashington due to the [[ReadTheFinePrint fine print]] of the contest the made them for; the Professor Brothers are extremely similar, especially in earlier videos like JFK.
29* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Frank insists none of the smeared brown condoms in his back seat have been in asses. [[spoiler:They haven't.]]
30* RousseauWasRight: PlayedWith In JFK:
31-->''"I saw him bless a demon, and that demon changed it's life"''
32* TheVerse: Shared with ''WebAnimation/BabyCakes'' and ''WesternAnimation/ChinaIL''.
