Titoo Dick Dickman Bab Titoo Dick Dickman Baby

"Phil's from the 'Sco, Jack's from the P.I.
Horatio or Horat, so big-eyed!
Tito Dick, "Dickman", baby!
He raised Phil and loves the ladies.
Jack's absurd as lazy, he'southward still learnin'.
And the ripe Blood-red Pie, still a virgin!
Chita, see the freak of the week-ah!
Phil'due south homegirl, God, Jack wanna keep her.
But it's not happenin', neither!
Shakin' like a seizure.
Concur up, lemme spark this, have a breather.
Breathe the reefer in my lungs.
I got grapes, what yous watchin', son?!"

Tropes:

• 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: The intro puts second characters in a 3D city surround.
• A Engagement with Rosie Palms: One of Phil'due south favorite activities, seen rather graphically in the outset episode.
• A Dick in Name: Tito Dick was very much intended to exist this.
• Aluminum Christmas Trees:
  • In "Pimp My Jeepney", Jack gets a vehicle chosen a "jeepney". While it may audio like it's a made-upwardly vehicle to non Filipino viewers, they really do exist, and are commononplace in the Phillipines.
  • The same thing can be said about balut, a street food that appeared in "Duck Karma".
• Animated Daze Comedy: Contains a lot of swearing, sexual content, and Toilet Humor.
• All Gays Are Promiscuous: Rainbow Picket and pretty much every other gay graphic symbol in this show.
• All Men Are Perverts: Literally the entire male person cast.
• Art Development: The animation marginally improves in flavour 2... emphasis on "marginally".
• Artistic License – Geography: While the show is said to take place in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, the characters state they live in Daly Urban center. Daly City, while adjacent to San Francisco, is nowhere virtually the Tenderloin.
• Asian Speekee Engrish: Cherry Pie.
• Bilingual Bonus: Some of the show's humor as found in the characters' names etc. is derived from the Filipino language, for example Jack'southward total name punning on "masturbator". Too, as revealed in the pilot, Tito Dick'due south real proper name is Richard Cabeza. Cabeza is Castilian for "head"... making him a "Dick Head".
• Blackness One-act: To the point that it can hardly be called comedy.
• Cleaved Aesop: Parodied in ane episode that focuses on plastic surgery, and how it's damaging for peoples' cocky-esteem and that people should capeesh their natural beauty. Chita, who has been preaching nigh this throughout the episode, eats her words when she falls head-over-heels for Jack after he becomes muscular through surgery. She then goes on to admit that she herself got plastic surgery for her breasts and nose in the past. The episode ends when everyone else's modifications bust out and ruin their bodies. When Chita tries to accept the loftier ground again and deliver the aesop, Phil calls her a "phony-ass bitch."
• Camp Gay: Rainbow Scout, a recurring character who gives Jack a cavity check in the pilot. It's evident by the manner he dresses and how much he enjoys his job.

  Rainbow Scout: They don't even pay me!

• Kid Soldiers: Tito Dick's plan in "TT Boy and Kid Utot" involves using an army of babies that resemble him.
• Comedic Sociopathy: People get beat up really desperately with their injuries visible to the audience. All for the sake of getting some laughs out of people.
• Content Warnings: Once per Episode, before the title sequence. We should add that it's suspiciously similar to S Park's. (i.e. information technology's the aforementioned thing only rearranged and less tongue-in-cheek.)
• Continuity Cavalcade: The concluding episode, "Battle of the Bay", showcases every major character and some of the transformations featured throughout the series.
• Continuity Nod:
  • In the theme song, the rapper mentions at one point states "I got grapes, what you watchin', son?" The rapper is voiced by NUMP, who had a minor Filipino hit with the song "I Gott Grapes".
  • Occasionally referenced in the show—in the mode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force at that place is continuity even in episodes that should logically change everything.
• Cluster F-Bomb: Nobody really has a filter in their heads, especially Phil and Horat.
• Beat Filter: When Jack is introduced to Chita in the pilot, he has an Imagine Spot where she is put nether the filter.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Horat's reaction to everything.
• Dirty Sometime Man: Sanjee, the exclusive porno dealer for Daly City (Nevertheless they somehow also live in the Tenderloin district).
• Drop-In Landlord: Dwayne is Tito and Phil's landlord who desperately attempts to connect with his tenants, but is constantly humiliated by Tito and Phil, and none of the others seem to like him all that much.
• Drugs Are Good: To say the least, drugs and alcohol are glamorized to expiry in this show.
• Establishing Series Moment: The bear witness'southward offset episode opens with Phil and Tito Dick playing an off-brand Star Wars fighting game which Dick wins by zapping Phil'south graphic symbol in the crotch with lightning in a motility he dubs the "Viagra-powered dong snatcher." Presently later on this, in that location'south a shot of Dick walking in on Phil rubbing one out, and it only gets more obscene from at that place.
• Evil Twin: Used in a demented way in the Halloween episode, "Slasher." See Luke, You lot Are My Begetter below.
• Excrement Statement: Jack's talking one-half-robot, half-tarsier pet Horat flings his poop at people who annoy him (which doesn't exactly take very much attempt to do). In the commencement episode, he does it on an airplane, causing anarchy and panic.
• Funny Afro: Dwayne gets one in "Got Surgery?", and the other characters milk information technology for all its worth.
• Fun T-Shirt: Phil's "Got Nutz" shirt.
• Gag Penis: A chihuahua with a gratuitously large member appears in one episode.
• Gainaxing: Every female person character.
• Gonk: Most of the characters are this,
• Grossout Show: 3 minutes into the airplane pilot, you see Phil masturbating. Two minutes after that? Horat throwing poop everywhere in an airplane. It'southward that kind of bear witness.
• Intentionally Awkward Title: Merely try explaining to people what The Nutshack is without absolutely killing the conversation.
• Jerkass: Most of the characters are pretty unpleasant people, with the only characters that could be construed as "nice" being Jack and Chita, and even they have their moments of being just every bit bad as everyone else (although in Jack's defense, his jerkass moments come up moreso from Phil's poor influence on him).
• Leitmotif: Dwayne has one (which you lot might recognize every bit the theme to Yous Know Whats Bullshit) which plays every single time he'south on the screen.
• Limited Blitheness: A very painfully obvious example.
• Luke, You Are My Father: In "Slasher," it is revealed that Jack gave birth subsequently taking a bunch of super-fertility pills, and raised the resulting evil version of himself considering, as he admits, information technology looked like him, and he couldn't help but heighten it like his ain.
• Ms. Fanservice: Chita is deliberately designed for this trope, particularly her rack that seems to bounce with every sway. The directors acknowledge they designed her with every trait they like in a woman.
• Nipple and Dimed: Played with in "Got Surgery?" when Chita sees Jack post-op. Her nipples are visibly erect, and the simply thing keeping the scene from being too explicit information technology the fact that she's wearing a shirt.

  Horat: [...] Jiminy Crickets! Cover up those pencil erasers, woman!

• No Respect Guy: Dwayne is both Daly City's landlord and the testify's resident Token White, making him an easy target for the other characters. He is constantly humiliated by Tito and Phil, and none of the others seem to like him all that much either. Fifty-fifty the testify's Theme Tune Rap (in the full version) takes a shot at him!

  Dwayne is a hater! Later, alligator!

• Non-Human Sidekick: Jack's extremely obnoxious talking pet Horat, who is half-robot and one-half-tarsier.
• Pun-Based Title: The show's title itself is this combined with Double Entendre.
• Punctuated! For! Accent!: The theme song abuses this trope in spades. "IT'S. THE. NUTSHACK. IT'S. THE. NUTSHACK."
• Seldom-Seen Species: Horat is a cyborg tarsier.
• Shout-Out: The episode "Slasher" is a Halloween Episode, with the characters dressed as various characters from other works. Jack is dressed every bit Silent Bob, Chita as Chun-Li, Horat equally Venom, Sanjee as Aladdin, Angel as Cheech Marin, and Ed as Tommy Chong.
  • "Blind Dick" references Mortal Kombat in Blind Dick'due south fight against Rainbow Lookout man and El Pinyot Loco. Street Fighter is referenced equally well, with Loco using Blanka's rolling set on and "headbite" and Dick later using the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.
• Simpleton Voice: Jack. His emphasis doesn't help his instance.
• Something Something Leonard Bernstein: The Theme Tune Rap is very hard to understand for well-nigh people, barring infamously the line "Tito Dick 'Dickman', babe!"
• Speech-Impaired Beast: Horat'south phonation is high pitched like Alvin and the Chipmunks, and his robotic enhancements farther mess with his voice, making him very hard to understand to the point that afterwards episodes give his lines subtitles past default.
• Status Quo Is God: Technically, merely the samurai episode is out of continuity. Fifty-fifty the episode where Tito Dick "Dickman" is a supervillain counts. Things just sort of snap back to normal and the heroes routinely ignore their powers unless it's for a gag.
• Stock Footage: When the show isn't re-using audio clips or animation from different episodes, it'll sometimes reuse entire scenes from within the same episode.
  • Taken Up to Eleven with the intro; which has the characters interacting in a CG animated version of their urban center, notwithstanding all of them are still blithe using stock footage from the show.
• Stock Sound Effects: Some episodes utilize Apple tree'due south stock iMovie sound effects — the aforementioned sound furnishings that tin can be heard in many amateur YouTube videos.
• Superhero Episode: 2 with bodily superheroes, iii if you count a Tokusatsu tribute in Bomb Cathay pt. 2, four if you count the samurai movie episode, five if y'all count the Highlander parody, six if you lot count the protagonists coming back from the dead with unique skills as their Inner Mexican. That's non even counting a cutaway gag with Jack and Phil as Rambo-alikes. That'south over a tertiary of the series—nigh enough to qualify as a superhero show!
• Accept That!: Random celebrities are often dissed.

  Horat: Man, just say the words, honey, and I'll make this door look like Wilmer Valderrama'south talent: nonexistent!

• Theme Tune Rap: A pretty infamous example too.
• Theme Tune Roll Call: The theme tune describes all of the characters.
• Thick-Line Blitheness: A rather ugly-looking example of this trope.
• Those Ii Guys: Tuquack and Snoop Duck are never seen apart and be only to brand a couple of bird poop jokes.
• Title Theme Melody: The line "It's the Nutshack!" shows up in the testify's full theme melody a total of 28 times, no less.
• Toilet Humour: Very oft, especially with Horat due to his habit of flinging carrion everywhere.
• Voice of the Legion: Jesus speaks in this way.
• Vulgar Sense of humour: Constantly in every single episode.
• Where the Hell Is Springfield?: They're in San Francisco, simply the characters (and the evidence's creators) constantly switch between calling the place they alive in Daly City and the Tenderloin, which are two unlike locations.
  • "Got Surgery?" shows an in-joke of a show chosen "DC" (Daly City) with the cast being the plastic surgery-riddled characters, mayhap alluring slightly towards Daly City.
  • The "Slasher" episode also has Chita mention the Tenderloin every bit the location, and that the Castro District is nearby the Tenderloin (which is accurate enough in existent life), suggesting that the show takes place in mid-town San Francisco.
