Check Out The Treads On That Tanknote 

With Church and Tucker pinned behind a rock by the Reds, Caboose decides that there's only one thing to do: Get in the tank he doesn't know how to drive. Luckily, the tank has a tutorial program. What could go wrong?

This episode has examples of

  • Bottomless Magazines: Tucker lampshades how the Warthog never runs out of bullets.
  • Description Cut: Tucker says they should've brought the tank, Church reminds him they can't drive it - cut to the next scene, Caboose enters it and turns out the tank has a tutorial.
  • Inventional Wisdom: While driving the tank, Caboose steers it up onto a rock, and laments, "Why are there six pedals if there's only four directions?"
  • Robo Cam: The last scene is from Sheila's point of view, aiming at Simmons - while he says "I don't think it can see us!"
  • Sarcasm Failure: Church is unable to give a proper response to Tucker noting their attack strategy has left them pinned down by gunfire behind a rock.
  • Steel Eardrums: Downplayed - Simmons' hearing is clearly hindered after firing the Warthog gun, as it takes Grif shouting for him to notice and he yells his following lines.
