Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Flanimals is a series of children's books by Ricky Gervais and illustrated by Rob Steen. It depicts a world filled with bizarre, inadequate, or just plain useless creatures known as Flanimals and their behavior, accompanied by humor of all kinds, strange terminology, and one hell of a Lemony Narrator.The series consists of four books. The first two, aptly titled Flanimals and More Flanimals, describe most of the life on the planet. The third, Flanimals of the Deep, details the aquatic life on the world. The final book, Day of the Bletchling, depicts the emergence of the titular creature and takes the series in a very different direction...

Black Comedy: A lot of the humor comes from the horrible lives that the creatures lead, while the narrator is happy to inform us that it's nothing to worry about. After all, they're going to die anyway.

Author Tract: Since this was written by Gervais, it's not hard to see where all the comments about "Grob" being a dusty older superstition come from.

comment
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Gervais manages to find entirely new terms to describe the same body parts over and over.

Lemony Narrator: The narrator is incredibly snarky, goes off on insane tangents, waxing philosophically, and has a talent for Comically Missing the Point.

comment
Perfectly Cromulent Word: Enough to rival a Dr. Seuss book and usually involving the names of the flanimals. Some examples include the Puddloflaj, the Mernimbler, and the Fleming Bunt-himmler.
