Frank's show started out with only him, and in those early episodes he seemed like a relatively innocent teenager who would use youtube to vent accumulated high school pressure, until I HATE STUPID GIRLS, wherein we can see Frank lapsing into the roaring madman he is today. ME SINGING ADELE introduces Pink Guy, and in subsequent videos Salamander Man, Red Dick, Safari Man, and others also raid Frank's house.
The YMMV page for Filthy Frank hypothesises that Frank's sudden change in behaviour in IHSG may have been caused by Chin-chin in some way. In case all this is true, it may be a reference to how Dale got possessed by BOB at the end of the TP. All the subsequently-(self-)introduced characters have, if this is true, further leaked into Frank's home from the Black Lodge, and I have reason to believe that:
-All of its inhabitants speak in backwards-sounding English with white-coloured hardsubs. In FF's case, of course, Safari Man and the Lycra People don't speak English at all, but we still get white hardsubs in proper English anyway.
-In I HATE SOCIAL NETWORKS, the Pornhub guy stands in Frank's room and rubs his palms to project a scene with a stripping midget into other social networks' minds to scare them off. The Man From Another Place has a tendency, seen in Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer and Beyond Life and Death, to rub his hands together in a similar way. What's also notable is that the Pornhub guy is Chin-chin's relative, who is himself a sort-of analogue to BOB.
-Still, the person who comes closest to being an expy to The Man From Another Place is Safari Man, who not only speaks in hardsubs like the rest of the Lycra People, but also wears red and seems to help Frank from time to time, though he's clearly more benevolent than TMFAP.
-Chin-chin's theme often plays in the background when he or some other evil influence is mentioned or is present. The Man From Another Place also has music spontaneously play in his presence. The constant and perhaps diegetic soundtrack seems to be more of a general Black Lodge characteristic, though.
-The strange chronology measured in chromosomes and the huge network of sub-realms (some of which are entirely abandoned) in Realm 6.2 are strangely similar to the mechanics of the Black Lodge's own inexplicable spacetime.
-In PINK GUY COOKS TAKOYAKI AND RAPS Safari Man is the only one who sees through Chin-chin's disguise, and does so immediately. It's because both of them are Black Lodge entities.
-The Filthy Frank Wiki mentions an event called the Lycrapocalypse that was caused by Chin-chin and that turned 70% of Realm 6.2's population into lycra people. If this and the theory that Ninja from NINJA GETS HIS ASS KICKED is Chin-chin before he had become Chin-chin are both canon, then it can only be that Ninja actually succeeded where Wyndom Earle had failed.
Major spoiler warning for Twin Peaks.

(On the other hand, this sounds so stupid.)
