Deadliest Catch/YMMV
- Funny Aneurysm Moment:
- After a very good season, the Harris brothers have gotten a bit boastful. Jake Harris gets a friendly beatdown, after which he tells his father that he will be dependant on the two sons. Cue a few years later...
- Another one may end up being Lenny messing with Captain Keith of the Wizard in one Season 7 episode. After Lenny gets his head driven into the sorting table by a BIG wave, Keith calls him inside and does the standard "How many fingers am I holding up?" test to make sure he's alright, and Lenny jokingly gives an incorrect answer before answering correctly. One season later (Season 8), and a greenhorn named Chris on the exact same ship has been brought in after complaining about numbness and tingling in his arm; when Keith comes in just minutes later, Chris is lying on the deck, convulsing and barely coherent (he would later need to be medevaced by the Coast Guard):

Keith: *holding up two fingers* Chris, how many fingers do you see? |

- Nausea Fuel:
- Be thankful for the fact that TVs don't yet come with Smell-O-Vision.
- Cameramen and greenhorns' reaction to rough seas.
- The Northwestern's tradition of biting the head off a fish for good luck.
- Some of Freddie Maughatai's Samoan customs can induce this, such as a season 7 episode where he cut open a cod & drank some of its' blood, smearing the rest all over his face. He even invited some of the other Wizard deckhands to join in.
- Nightmare Fuel: Initially for people who have a fear of the ocean; currently for those who have (or haven't) had to deal with a loved one's hospitalization/death.
- The Scrappy: Ramblin' Rose captain Elliott Neese is quickly becoming one, with some fairly rabid Hatedom.
- This Is Your Premise on Drugs: A person on the production team was arrested for selling cocaine at Deadliest Catch parties in the town of Unalaska.
