* AnAesop: The "political" episodes are all Aesops. Near the end of each, Rhino normally delivers a short, non-comedic speech spelling out the lesson and the authors' policy conclusions. The "Gun Control" episode is especially {{Anvilicious}}. Others include "Starship Sealy" (on women in combat), "The Wizard of VA" (on the 2014 Veterans' Administration scandals), "PTSD," and Episode 5 (on "hazing" vs. "corrective training").

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The Blue Falcon's offenses include the following: betraying the Continental Army and framing Benedict Arnold, epically failing as intelligence officer of the 7th Cavalry Regiment under Custer, not showing up to work when assigned to monitor the air-search radar above Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941, allowing JFK to be shot, crashing the helicopter in Bin Laden's compound, causing the Super Bowl blackout, cockblocking Rhino, and a particularly low dine&dash.

* DisproportionateRetribution: One fine day in 1775, while other men were rallying for the imminent confrontation with the Redcoats, [[RefusedTheCall Rhino was trying to get a hot girl drunk]]. He was literally ''one drink away'' from getting laid when he ran out of money, due to increased alcohol prices caused by the Stamp Tax, Rum Tax, etc. Having been (in his mind, at least) personally cockblocked by King George III, Rhino armed himself, [[LeeroyJenkins rushed into the tense standoff]] between British regulars and Colonial militia at Lexington, and [[AccidentalMurder shot the British commander]]...[[NeverRunWithAGun with a negligent discharge]].

Added DiffLines:

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: After an arguably-justified road rage episode, Rhino fantasizes about blowing up the two inconsiderate drivers with anti-tank missiles, then flicking his cigar ash at their corpses and saying, "Looks like ''I've'' got the right-of-way now, bitch!"

Added DiffLines:

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Too many to list. A few choice examples:
** A part in ''Starship Sealy'' when a female Space Ranger mentions being on her period. Rhino grunts, "I'm cool with that!"
** Sealy's [[BoomHeadshot instinctive reaction]] to a child dressing as a [[BerserkButton pirate]] for Halloween.
** Rhino's Tinder hookup...with [[spoiler: Hillary Clinton]].
** The entire ThanksgivingEpisode. You ''will'' laugh your ass off, and you ''will'' go to Hell for it.


Added DiffLines:

* ReallyGetsAround: It would be ''much'' easier to list the women Sealy ''hasn't'' fucked.
** Inverted with Rhino. The poor bastard strikes out with ''hookers''.

'''SGT Rhino''': An anthropomorphic rhinoceros, a senior NCO in the U.S. Army, and a vocal misanthrope (misanimalthrope? misanthropomorph?). His voice is a raspy growl and he punctuates his thoughts with liberal profanity.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Invoked in the discussion of Creator/SeanConnery, the only former-Bond worthy of appearing in ''Film/TheExpendables''. Because "He can do as he pleases!"


Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat: If a Hollywood movie offers a stereotyping portrayal of the military (good or bad), they'll get one.
** Just ''mentioning'' ''Film/ConAir'' makes Rhino puke.
** ''Film/TheRock'' gets explicitly hammered as well.
** ''Film/{{Battleship}}'' was evidently conceived and written by the Blue Falcon.
** They ''really'' hate ''Film/TheHurtLocker''. [[TruthInTelevision It's pretty rare to find a real-life Iraq veteran who doesn't hate that movie]].
