Pirates of the Great Salt Lake

"Kirk: Do you know what our problem is?

Flint: Financing sir?

Kirk: No, it's that damn Johnny Depp."

An obscure film but beloved within its cult following, Pirates of the Great Salt Lake is the heart-warming tale of two modern would be pirates... wandering around the Great Salt Lake.

A 2006 Mollywood comedy, we follow two out-of-luck smoes as they sail row across the Lake, attempting to plunder and ravage modern Utah, only to find that they're not very successful. When they just so happen to find a genuine treasure map, their luck changes ...from bad to worse.

 * Breaking the Fourth Wall
 * Butt Monkey: Drake, but only after  so it's well deserved.
 * Chekhov's Gun:  Also doubles as a Chekhov's Gag
 * Coming Out Story The scene where Kirk tells his mother he's a pirate is played out like this one for laughs.

 * Rule of Funny
 * Talk Like a Pirate
