5* AlliterativeName: "Captain" Dan Dolan, their front man.
6* AnachronismStew: See APirate400YearsTooLate:
7* BadassCrew: They kick copious amounts of ass.
8* BadBoss: ''Mutiny'' opens with Captain Dan executing a sailor for complaining about being at sea for almost thirty years.
9-->"Sail the ship through the middle of a hurricane, so that fewer men remain, alive to complain!"
10* BlackComedyRape
11-->"When we're done with this raid, we're gonna plunder your mother."
12-->Also "If the wench disagrees, then I'll have to shank her." from ''Jolly Roger''.

14* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: "Hook it Up":
15-->Take your doubloon and make the girl swoon\
16Carving out your heart with a rusty spoon
17* TheDrunkenSailor: Where else, "Drunken Sailor", where the crew ([[MyFriendsandZoidberg and Admiralty]]) rap their verses over the tune of the classic sea shanty of the same name. Admiralty specifically claims his men can sail just fine while completely tanked. In general, lots and lots of rum is consumed, and drunken antics are frequently spoken of in verses.
18* DueToTheDead: "All Me Mateys Dead and Gone".
19* EatsBabies: As a last resort.
20--> "When I'm hungry, I [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalize]] the cabin boys."

23* {{Homage}}: "Rime of the Hip Hop Mariners" is one to Creator/SamuelTaylorColeridge's poem ''Literature/TheRimeOfTheAncientMariner''.
24* HonorBeforeReason: Averted. They will do anything to kill and avoid being killed. They are pirates, after all.
25* HookHand: A common piratical accessory mentioned in songs. Captain Dan sports one in promotional images and music videos.
26* APirate400YearsTooLate: It's not certain what time period they're in, present day or historical, since sailing ships and bowling alleys are both mentioned, but if they're modern, they'd be this in style, but not attitude.
27** One of their first songs is ''Flintlock Glock'', combined with the preceding it appears they are in both periods ''at the same time.''
28* PirateGirl: Anne Bonny and Mary Read join Captain Dan to kick ass in "Ladies in Scarlet".
29* PunnyName: "It's All About the Booty", "Chests O'Plenty".

33* ScrewTheWarWerePartying: On occasion.
34* [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll Wenches, Rum, and Hip-Hop]]: A majority of their songs.
35* ShownTheirWork: Their nautical references are surprisingly accurate from a landlubbers perspective.
36* StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks: "It's All About the Booty", which is about Pirate booty. Or is it?
37* UnusualEuphemism: Their cannon's always loaded.
38* WorthyOpponent: Admiralty is cast in this role from time to time.
39* WouldHitAGirl: They are pirates, after all.
