Funny / Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights

Go To

This is a show by Frankie Boyle. Expect ungodly levels of line crossing.


  • The very first scene in the show? Policemen line-dancing in front of a black man strapped to an electric chair to the song Let Her Dance by Bobby Fuller.
  • The brief scene in the intro of a guy happily scrubbing himself in the shower...with a swastika drawn on his forehead and wearing a Freddy Krueger glove.
  • Frankie mercilessly roasting audience members:
    A cross between Andy Bell and a pickled fetus in a fucking jar! Like a child's drawing of a dead baby!
    What drew you into him? Gravity?
    How you doin', ya fuckin' loyalist terror suspect?
    A photographer? You're a pedophile who failed his priest exam!
    You're a fireman? In a Village People tribute band!
  • Frankie talking to a weirdly evasive audience member.
    You're lyin' to me, aren't you? What's with this sort of elaborate cover story? Are you Jon Venables?
  • The entire skit of Michael Knight as a criminally insane man.
  • Frankie's idea for products to start making attack ads.
    Policeman: Sarge, we caught a pedophile!
    Sarge: Really? What was he doing?
    Policeman: Eatin' Walker's Crisps!
  • The game "AIDS 2", a Doom-style video game where you have to constantly pick up health packs to avoid dying. The highest score belongs to Magic Johnson.
  • The skit of Batman going through a nine-month work appraisal of a very unhinged Robin. He doesn't seem all that perturbed about the Boy Wonder beating a prostitute in the Batmobile or gleefully stabbing every criminal he meets.
    Batman: You said that the moment that gave you the most satisfaction was the time you used stolen Wayne technology to swap bodies with the Joker and achieve your longtime ambition of "fucking yourself."
    • Eventually, Robin is replaced with a female Robin and left to languish in heroin withdrawal, pulling out his own insides while weakly singing the Batman theme song.
  • Frankie Boyle's reinterpretation of The Benny Hill Show.
    • The milkman escorts an old woman onto a bus. Unfortunately, the bus is heading to a Dignitas center. Cue Yakkity Sax and the woman's husband chasing the milkman down the road.
    • The milkman accidentally bumps into a tattoo artist inking a portrait of Marilyn Monroe (a sex symbol) onto a man's back, turning it into a portrait of Myra Hindley (a serial killer).
    • The milkman hides in a home and starts touching himself when he hears a woman moaning from the bedroom. Turns out it's actually an exorcism and the demon runs out of the woman to chase him!
    • The milkman trying to hide in a movie theater, accidentally knocking over an employee who drops his reels and, instead of putting in "Shrek 3D", he puts in "Snuff 3D." The masked men in the film come out of movie to chase him as well, leaving the woman they were about to kill utterly confused.
  • Frankie's interpretation of The A-Team as "actual" Vietnam veterans.
    Narrator: "In prison for a genocide they did not commit; and two they did, and some other shit..."
  • The History of PCP. All of it.
    • The Spartans taking PCP, conquering the Persian Army...and then moving on to turn half the world and half the moon into Sparta.
    • Paul Marsh winning the Olympic 300-meter dash on PCP despite being dead.
    • Rocky was the first film made entirely on PCP. The director's cut is two days long.
    • "FUCK YOU MARS! FUCK YOU MARS! FUCK YOOOOOU!!!"
    Second World War II was fought on PCP. Think about it, you met your grand dad - did it look like he could run up a beach? Anyway it all ended for the Germans on D-Day when the Allies took all their PCP, ran across the Channel and ate them!
  • The Magic Wee-Hing. A friendly forest creature that grants wishes to children. Unfortunately, the kids he meet are from Glasgow.
    Wee-Hing: I could make your toys come to life for an evening!
  • The final skit of the show is a man with AIDS getting anal probed by aliens and, in the process, giving the disease to everyone in the universe. Cut to the Man in the Moon dying of AIDS. And that's how the series ends!
