Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights
Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights is the first solo series from the razor-sharp Glaswegian comic Frankie Boyle, it blends acerbic stand-up with hilarious sketches crafted in the darkest recesses of the human psyche...
"This show contains uncompromising adult humour and language right from the start which some viewers will find offensive."

Confirmed for 6 episodes on Channel4.
Tropes used in Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights include:
- And Knowing Is Half the Battle- spoofed at the end of each show with a deeply perverted cowboy delivering a deeply wrong message.
- Black Comedy
- The Blank - Seen in the Untitled Street sketch
- British Brevity
- Catch Phrase - "fatherfuckers", because no one cares about the word "motherfuckers" anymore.
- Deconstructive Parody - Knight Rider and The Green Mile in suitably humourous ways so far.
- Dead Baby Comedy - Seen often, from being urged to shoot a pregnant woman in the head and the foetus' head by drugged hallucinations you think are KITT to Loose Women Iran.
- Executive Meddling - The show's title was originally going to be "Deal With This, Retards"
- Flanderization - As opposed to Mock the Week, Frankie's act here is almost entirely offensive for the sake of being offensive.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed - Averted with George Michael's Highway Code.
- Refuge in Vulgarity - The original show title and many of the jokes and sketches.
- Sketch Show
- Take That - Against the BBC trying to be politically correct with Untitled Street
