''[[Dr. Tran]]'' is an animated web series by [http://www.lonesausage.com/ Lone Sausage Productions] that follows an unfortunate 5-year-old boy whose life has been turned upside down by a disembodied "[[In a World|trailer narrator]]"-type voice. It was all started by the 2003 short ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO0kRE5OTZI Here comes Dr. Tran]'', in which the [[Narrator]] describes Tran as a secret superagent and the star of at least 30,000 Dr. Tran movies (and a doctor), while Tran tries (unsuccessfully) to drive the voice away. The short has quickly become popular through [[Memetic Mutation]].
Other shorts in the series include:
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* '''Fruit Hat''' - Tran is sitting in a subway station. An old lady's hat asks him to buy it chewing gum.
* '''Dr. Tran Fanmail''' - [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]] series in the style of the original short.

* [[3D Movie]]: For 5 seconds during "Here comes Dr. Tran".
** During an early (if not original) showing of "Here Comes Dr. Tran," 3D glasses were handed out to viewers, with little explanation. The joke was that all that preparation was for five seconds of unmoving 3D.
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: There are three adults in the series, {{spoiler|and they're all senile old people.}}
Line 25:
* [[Badass]]: Dr. Tran, according to the Narrator.

* [[Japanese Ranguage]]: In the original short: ''"I've never been to Amellica!!"''
* [[Jerkass]]: The talking chicken and Grandpa, but especially the Narrator. He apparently loves screwing around with Tran's head, and his reality, [[For the Evulz|for no reason.]] We don't even know why Tran is the one he screws around with. One way to look at it is that the Narrator really believes Tran is an action superstar, which is sort of backed up by the appearance of two alternate Trans, one in the 1940s, another in the 2040s. Of course, given his power, he could've just created those two Trans solely to mess with Tran once again. Two examples come to mind:
** In one of the fan mail segments, Tran gets a letter from a little girl with AIDS asking Tran to make an appearance or to donate some money to her hospital. Tran thinks the girl sounds nice (even if doesn't know what AIDS are), while the Narrator basically tells her to go bitch to someone else. He then rubs it in by saying Tran is too busy at the "Venezuelan drug lord dance party", wearing sunglasses "black as the night [she] got cancer!"
{{quote|
'''Narrator''': Same thing. }}
** In another one, Tran gets a letter from a guy named Keith who says that he and his wife understand that Tran is just a little boy who is being misidentified with someone else, all the while being accused of doing horrible things "for America". Tran actually asks to answer this letter, but the Narrator decides that Tran should read another one about a kid asking questions about boners, all the while Tran is pleading to talk to Keith.
