The Filthy Frank Show

The Filthy Frank Show was a YouTube web show, created by George "Joji" Miller, which was posted on the channels DizastaMusic, TVFilthyFrank, and TooDamnFilthy between August 5, 2011 and September 27, 2017. Produced mostly by Miller himself, it centers around Filthy Frank, his companions, and their ongoing quest to stop the Dark Lord Chin-Chin. It attained a massive following and became a cult favorite on YouTube. The show inspired a book, created numerous memes such as the Harlem Shake, and frequently crossed over with other major YouTubers of the time such as iDubbbz, maxmoefoe, h3h3Productions, and JonTron.
Due to health complications including throat tissue damage from doing Frank's voice as well as a general disinterest in continuing the series, Miller officially discontinued the show on December 29, 2017, leaving FRANCIS OF THE FILTH (OUT NOW) as the final episode. Miller now has a successful music career under the name Joji, with many new fans who are completely unaware of his past. Every so often, a new group of teenage kpop stans will discover the Filthy Frank Show, usually through the album Pink Season, then try and fail to cancel Joji for having said racial and homophobic slurs while in character as Frank and Pink Guy.
==History==
The Filthy Frank Show was a popular YouTube series, created by George "Joji" Miller who also plays multiple characters in the show, including Filthy Frank himself. The show was first active on the channel DizastaMusic. However, the channel eventually reached the verge of being terminated due to copyright strikes. Because of this, Joji moved the show to what was previously his second channel, TVFilthyFrank, which was the home of the show up until it's cancellation. When TVFilthyFrank took over as the main channel, Joji also created a new secondary channel known as TooDamnFilthy.
TVFilthyFrank is currently in the 500th most subscribed YouTube channels of all time. The Filthy Frank Show reached global recognition after the original Harlem Shake parody was uploaded.
The Filthy Frank Show also somehow managed to get top rated in the TV Series category on IMDb, as shown here. It roughly gets a rating of 9.9/10.
On December 29th, 2017, Joji announced that he was ending The Filthy Frank Show, as he was suffering from multiple health conditions including throat tissue damage, and had "grown out" of the show's style of humor. He has entirely moved on from comedy, and is now solely a musician.

===Official Description===
The following description is from the TVFilthyFrank channel bio on YouTube. Do not edit or modify it:
"Filthy Frank is the embodiment of everything a person should not be. He is anti-PC, anti-social, and anti-couth. He behaves and reacts excessively to everything expressly to highlight the ridiculousness of racism, misogyny, legalism, injustice, ignorance and other social blights. He also sets an example to show how easy it is in the social media for any zany material to gain traction/followings by simply sharing unsavory opinions and joking about topics many find offensive. Yes, there is no denying that the show is terribly offensive, but this terrible offensiveness is a deliberate and unapologetic parody of the whole social media machine and a reflection of the human microcosm that that social media is."
The Filthy Frank Show was famous for its unique style of satire. Filthy Frank is not afraid to jokes about serious and controversial issues. However, the show's purpose isn't to discriminate, it is to parody society.
For example, Filthy Frank was not racist because when he made racial jokes he wasn't mocking any race, but rather the institution of racism itself. He was able to joke about race because he was clearly comfortable discussing and addressing the racial stereotypes which exist and deserve to be made fun of.
