"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"


The Tourettes Guy is a series of YouTube videos following the eponymous Danny, a foul-tempered and foul-mouthed man with "Tourette's syndrome" - though his behavior is likely more influenced by all the booze he drinks. His friends and family often show up, but aside from his equally foul-mouthed father, they are only heard from offscreen and never seen.

For a while, it was believed that Danny had died in a car accident. But later on, new videos were posted and his website claimed that he was still alive and had just been in jail the whole time.


Tropes:

  • The Alcoholic: Danny, who is almost always seen with a beer bottle. The official website claims that his behavior is likely influenced more by his drinking than his Tourette's.
  • Ass Shove:
    • Danny claims he wants to shove a broom up the ass of the person who named Fashion Bug.
    • He also claims during a bowling game that he wants to shove a can of Pringles up a preacher's ass.
    • Also, apparently something happens when Alex Trebek has a picture of a giraffe in his ass during an earthquake.
  • Atomic F Bomb: Several, but a few notable examples are:.
    • Yelling "FUUUUUUUUUCK!" after the The Police version of "Every Breath You Take" played while he was on hold with Colgate (he hoped it was the Puff Daddy cover).
    • Yelling "SHIIIIIIIIIIT!" offscreen, which synched up perfectly with Mufasa falling off a cliff on the TV.
    • At his son's job interview, after telling him multiple times he didn't want some Twizzlers his son was eating, he screams "BUTT FUCK!!" The person napping nearby was not amused.
    • Yelling "FUUUUUUUUUCK!" after crashing headfirst into the chandelier.
    • As the cameraman drives away from the Tourette's Guy's dad as quickly as possible, he screams "You cocksuckerrrrrrrrr!!!!", complete with Doppler effect.
  • Author Appeal: Including Danny's shirt, there are a lot of references to breakfast cereal. And almost all the videos involve phones.
  • Badass Beard: Danny's dad, who bears a striking resemblance to Santa Claus. Danny lands into a bit of trouble when he points this out.
  • Badass Grandpa: Danny's dad.
  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: Between him and his ex-wife, Shirlena. "BITCH! I love you."
  • Berserk Button: Calling Danny's dad a mall Santa.

 Danny: FUCK YOU AND EVERY MALL SANTA THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU!!!

Danny's Dad gets Danny in a headlock

Danny's Dad: So you wanna talk some shit, huh baldy? Ha ha ha.

  • Big No: When a grocer tries to take away Danny's marshmallows.
  • Chew Toy: The titular Tourette's Guy.
  • Cluster F Bomb: If you couldn't figure this one out already...
    • One example: Danny carrying a hot casserole dish without oven mitts. When he gets back up after putting it down on the table, he hits his head on a chandelier. Leave room and cue Atomic F Bomb!
  • Comedic Sociopathy: Oh so much.
  • Comically Missing the Point: In one video, Danny is watching an exercise program. He isn't exactly exercising. He's moving the top half of his body while sitting down and eating chips.
    • Heaven knows what started this argument, but it ends up hilariously.

 Danny's Son: Then he told me to tell you that he wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

Danny: Well you tell him that I said I wouldn't piss on him if he was on Jeopardy!

  • Country Matters: So far, "cunt" has only been used once.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: "Suck my dick... Or cock!"
  • Dissimile: "These fish sticks are hard as tits!"
    • "Let me tell you about a porcupine's balls! They're small, and they don't give a SHIT!
    • "Why don't you make like a banana and shit!"
    • "That's what happens when Alex Trebek has a picture of a giraffe in his ass during an earthquake!"
  • Erotic Eating: Strangely invoked - after commenting on a woman described as a lesbian "that just means she likes what I like", Danny bites into a corn dog.
  • Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: In "Bird in the House", Danny goes running into the other room after his son tells him there's a bird in the house, yelling some of his usual curses before shouting something unintelligible ("???").
  • Everythings Worse With Bees: In one episode, Danny gets attacked by a swarm of bees while he's mowing the lawn. He handles it about as well as you'd think. ("AW BOB SAGET! Oh SHIT!")
  • Funny Background Event: Danny shouted "PISS!" so loud that the top page of a wall calendar came loose and fell back down, changing the calendar to the previous month.
  • Gag Dub: During one episode, Danny's son is watching The Lion King while Danny himself is cussing people out on the phone in the next room. They sync up surprisingly well.
  • Go to Your Room: Danny grounds his son for not thinking that the garbage disposal sounds like Chewbacca taking a shit.
  • Green Aesop: "I'm getting sick and goddamn tired of all these looters and polluters!"
  • Groin Attack: Danny's son accidentally throws a paper towel at his crotch. Luckily, it wasn't hard. ...The paper towel, not his dick.
  • He Who Must Not Be Seen: Every recurring character except for Danny and his dad.
  • ~He's Just Hiding~: Despite reportedly being killed in a car crash in 2007, Danny has appeared in three new videos. The website claims that he was actually in prison.
  • Hollywood Tourettes: It's sort of a given.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Danny admonishes his son for saying "shit", after saying it six times since he entered the room.
    • "I don't hate gays, but if some faggot ever tries to touch me..."
      • I think he was more implying that he'll ignore it but if a gay DOES try to molest/marry/etc...
    • Danny wears glasses, but that doesn't stop him from calling Rick Moranis "four eyes".
    • Several episodes after Danny's Limited Wardrobe was lampshaded by his dad, guess what said dad is wearing in the next episode he appears in.
    • Calls an angry janitor, who has a beer belly but some buff arms, a fatass, while Danny...is fat.
    • Danny's dad - who is bald - calls Danny "baldy" during a fight.
  • Jerkass: Big time, but it's part of the humor.
  • Like Father Like Son: His dad swears just as much as he does.
  • Limited Wardrobe: In almost every single episode, Danny wears brown shorts and a Tony the Tiger T-shirt. His dad called him out on it in one episode.

 Danny's Dad: You change your damn glasses more than you change your damn shirt! Why don't you trying wearing a different shirt for once in your life?

Danny: Why don't you just FUCK OFF!!!

  • Mad Scientist: According to one video's description, Danny's psychiatrist put a giant blue M&M in his bedroom to see how a person with Tourette's would react when waking up next to a giant blue M&M.

    • "This is the second time I've been fucked by Dairy Queen!"
  • Oh Crap: At about 4:15 of the newest episode.
  • Overly Long Gag: Danny looking through a phonebook, watching lottery results, brushing his teeth, and showering.
  • Running Gag: There are several videos in which Danny's ex-wife come over to talk about her problems with work or family. Every time, Danny completely fails to show interest or sympathy.

 Danny: Are we gonna fuck, or what?

  • Sir Swearsalot: Naturally.
  • Slapstick: Danny is on the receiving end of a lot physical comedy: his chair falls over, his beer spews foam on him, a bird flies into his face, he bangs his head on a chandelier, he drunkenly stumbles down stairs, a supermarket cardboard standup falls on him, and more. The cameraman sometimes takes punishment, too.
  • That Came Out Wrong: When Danny gets hit in the groin by a roll of paper towels.

 Danny: Where's the paper towels?!

Danny's Son: They're right over here, Dad, in this bag.

Danny: Throw 'em over here!

Danny's son throws him the paper towels, and it hits him in the groin

Danny: Ouch! Motherfucker, you hit me in the dick!

Danny's Son: Sorry...

Danny: You're lucky it wasn't hard! (Beat) I mean this thing (the paper towels), not my dick!
