Dr. Tran - Episode List

Episode List

Dr. Tran is the star of several short animated films from Lone Sausage Productions.

• Here Comes Dr. Tran (2003): Tran, attempting to eat his breakfast, is accosted by a bombastic movie voice-over proclaiming his status as an action hero.
• Roybertito's :60 Second Spot (2005): A Spanish-language commercial for a Mexican restaurant featuring its new, Dr. Tran themed meal
• Dr. Tran's Quiet Log Time (2005): Tran enjoys a peaceful night sitting on a log, when a Chicken innocently approaches and threatens to kill him.
• DR. TRAN SUMMER SPLASH (2006): Leland and Fat Friend debate if Tran is an action hero, with Tran sitting mere feet away in a backyard pool that just happens to bear his likeness.
• Dr. Tran's Peanut Butter Square Hula Quest (2006): A 1950s style commercial for a Dr. Tran boardgame.
• Mr. Tran & The Toy Cack (2006): Leland's Grandma Norma attempts to take Leland and Tran to a toy store only to end up killing numerous "little boys" with her senile and reckless driving, effectively scarring the children for life. Hotel Soap makes his first appearance, as the mascot for Toy Cack.
• Dickable Afternoons (2006): A commercial for an unspecified food product called a 'Dickable', the definition of which keeps changing. Tran somehow ends up in a bunny suit and can't scratch an itch.
• The Furious Little Cinnamon Bun (2007): A small pastry gets very upset for no discernible reason and runs off in a huff, killing a Shave Ice Baby along his way. (Dr. Tran appears after the end credits, in the posters on the wall as Leland asks Grandma Norma what is going on.)
• 100% ICE (2008): An aged man gives Tran marketing advice for his '100% ICE' stand, which includes discussing cocaine, genitals, and criticizing Tran's naiveté. Hotel Soap makes another cameo appearance. In the second segment, the old man mocks Fat Friend's 'Hot Dog on a Plate' stand. In the third segment, the man finds a stand he likes: Leland's 'Tits' stand, which he praises for its use of gratuitous false advertising.
• Fruit Hat (2009): While waiting for the subway, pudgy little Dr. Tran must match wits with a talking fruit hat that demands mint gum.

A short-format Dr. Tran series, Dr. Tran FanMail, consists of webisodes where viewers write in to Dr. Tran (at TranLetters@gmail.com) and have a cartoon based on their email:

• (Intro) Send Letters (2009): The Narrator haunts Tran once more, forcing him to read fan mail despite the fact that Tran is just learning his ABC's.
• (S1, Ep01) Murder List (2009): A fan writes in asking Tran why he killed his mother with a broken lawn chair.

• (S1, Ep05) Time Machine (2009): Tran is visited by 1944 and 2085 versions of himself after a fan asks about a time machine. One of the three doesn't make it out of the episode.
• (S1, Ep06) Keith Cares (2009): Tran actually gets a positive fan letter. The Narrator will not let him answer it, and instead reveals Tran's penchant for getting erections in answer to a second fan letter. Cameos by Leland, Fat Friend, and an off-screen Grandma Norma.
• (S1, Ep07) Nail To The Gut (2010): Tran is still learning to read. A fan writes in with suggestions on what Tran should wear and anything he or The Narrator suggest magically appears on Tran's body. Fat Friend gets shot with a nail gun.
