Dr. Tran: Difference between revisions

* '''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.

** 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.}}

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm not a doctor!"

* [[The Chew Toy]]: Tran

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Leland on several occasions. Also, his [[Never Mess With Granny|grandma.]]

* [[Combat Medic]]: Not quite what the trope describes, but Dr. Tran does have a PH.D in ''kicking your ass''.

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Leland's grandma.

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: The old lady in ''Fruit Hat'' thinks Tran is an ugly little girl.

** His actual name is Barbara.

* [[Girls Have Cooties|Girls Are Grody!]]

* [[The Gump]]: The old lady in ''Fruit Hat'' regularly gets cookie recipes from James Van Der Beek, and when he gets uppity with her, she reminds him "who showed you the [[Dawsons Creek|creek]]?"

* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Any skit that involves Tran and a narrator can be viewed as this. A little Asian boy whose entire world is being manipulated by some unseen voice, the situation gradually becoming more and more hilariously insane at Tran's expense, until he's a knotted ball of frustration. The first Dr. Tran short and ''Nail Gun'' are prime examples of this.

* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Dr. Tran has apparently [[Self Made Orphan|killed his own mother]] with a broken lawn chair.

{{quote| But... I ''love'' mother!}}

** 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.

* [[Memetic Sex God]]: Dr. Tran, at least according to the [[Narrator]] in-universe.

* [[Mind Screw]]: ''The Furious Little Cinnamon Bun''. Really, {{spoiler|a giant penis comes down from the sky and crushes the bun?}}

** Well, for the most part. There actually ''is'' a "Dr. Tran 30,000 DVD Box Set," but it doesn't actually contain 30,000 movies.

* [[Retraux]]: The Dickable Afternoons commercial, zipping in and out of sepia and black and white and full color.

{{quote| Sorry Doctor, that was fucked up. {{spoiler|It was a rooster. Come on.}}}}

* [[Your Mom]] - The narrator either has Tran kill his mom, or kill ''your'' mom, but not before giving her the best orgasm ever.
