Answered some of these from my memories of the show. This show was weird but enjoyable.

%%* * OnlySaneMan: Uncle Gabby.
Gabby and that's only when he wants to be, though, not by much. He tends to go along with the madness but will be a voice of reason that Drinky might need, like giving him dating advice in "Beer Goggles" (though not real good) or keeping him from going off on the deep end.

* SchizoTech: [[UpToEleven Hoo-boy]], the show seems to be set in a different era with each episode. Ostensibly the premise is WoodenShipsAndIronMen through the lens of utter madness, as suggested by the pilot. Except most people carry modern revolvers, New York already has a modern skyline[[note]]Complete with the Empire State Building[[/note]], and 1950s and 60s automobiles are common enough that they're not treated as luxuries. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools This all plays into the show's trademark insanity.]]

%%* SadistShow

to:

%%* SadistShow* SadistShow: Drinky tries to escape the rigors of reality and commit suicide regularly.


Added DiffLines:

* SeaMonster: The first episode involves whales, which is fitting since it's about a whaling ship. The whales are drawn in the style of those really old maps with "Here be dragons" written in the corners.
* SuccessHallucinations: There are certain episodes where Drinky Crow gets drunk and thinks he's doing something well when in reality he's doing it horribly. In one episode, Drinky is trying to perform surgery on a physically deformed man. In his mind, Drinky made the patient normal-looking, when in reality he smashed the man to a bloody pulp.


Added DiffLines:

* TimeDissonance: In one episode, Uncle Gabby meets another monkey who happens to look a lot like him. Upon becoming a god, he takes Gabby to a separate universe called Dirt Girlatonia, filled with clones of the Captain's Daughter doing Girls Gone Wild acts. He and Uncle Gabby watch this spectacle for 50 billion years (which is shown by a black cuecard saying just that), with them still watching and staying the same as if only seconds had gone by after the cuecard was shown. He ends up coming back to his own dimension and complains to Crow that how he had to stay for 80 billion years, which Crow interrupted by saying he was only gone for five minutes, but Gabby justifies it by saying that the monkey god took him out of the space-time continuum. This means Gabby is now more than 66.2 billion years older than the universe.
