* OddNameOut: The other ocean-going tugs' V-Words come from altruistic qualities they posses, whereas Oliver's V-word is for a physical characteristic. Emily is "The Vigorous" because she's a good worker, George is "The Valliant" because he's brave and true, Foduck is "The Vigilant" because he's always looking out for others. Oliver's V-Word, "The Vast" simply means "Big", indicating that he truly is devoid of redeeming qualities and that his strength is the only thing he has going for him.

* AFatherToHisMen: The Dispatcher cares deeply about the tugs' well-being, and he is willing to offer whatever assistance he can in their times of need. ''Theodore and the Boat Bully'' shows his fatherly side ''very'' strongly; he reassures Theodore that he will support him no matter what and arranges for his bully's prompt departure from the Big Harbor. Additionally, durring said scene, Denny Doherty voiced The Dispatcher with a much gentler tone than the usual deeper, authoritative voice that he usually gives the character.
* TheCaptain: While he is technically second to the Harbormaster, the tugs report directly to the Dispatcher. It is he who assigns their jobs for the day, and he updates them on any sudden changes of plans.
* ParentsAsPeople: Well, Parental figure. Several episodes show him as being no less fallable than the Tugboats, and whenever he's in the wrong he's quick to apologize.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Though not infallible, he proves to be someone the tugs can turn to whenever they're facing a problem they can't fix themselves.
