=== This Movie Contains Examples Of: ===
* [[Acronym and Abbreviation Overload]]:
{{quote|'''Adrian Cronauer:''' Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.<ref>Translation: Seeing as the Vice President is a Very Important Person, shouldn't we keep the Press Conference on the Quiet? Cause if it leaks to the Viet Cong he could end up Missing In Action, and then we'd all be put on Kitchen Patrol.</ref>}}
* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: The reason Cronauer drew out his "Gooooooooood" was to time the beginning of his show with the top of the hour
** The real Adrian Cronauer used the time to prepare for his broadcast; getting albums lined up, for example.
* [[Blithe Spirit]]: Adrian Cronauer, to the constant frustration of his superiors.
Line 22:
'''Vietnamese Class:''' Shit!
'''Adrian Cronauer:''' If someone has made you angry or angrier, they have...
'''Vietnamese Class:''' Pissed me off!
* [[Bowdlerize]]: In a television broadcast, much of Robin's blue humor was bowdlerized. Ironic, considering the plot.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAM!" Best
* [[Could Say It, But...]]: Cronauer broadcasts an unapproved news report in this fashion and is yanked off the air because of it.
* [[Don't Call Me "Sir"!]]: Sgt. Dickerson is particularly insistent on this point, taking excessive pride in his non-commissioned status.
Line 30:
'''Cronauer''': Yes, sir.
'''Dickerson''': Sir! Do you see anything on this uniform indicating an officer? ''[Pointing to his rank insignia]'' What does three up and three down mean to you, airman?
'''Cronauer''': End of an inning?
** Also an example of [[Shown Their Work]]: In the US Air Force (Cronauer), it is common to call your superiors "sir" whether commissioned or not, but in the Army (Dickerson), the term is reserved for commissioned officers and will earn you the ire of any NCO on the receiving end.
* [[Fire-Breathing Diner]]: It's ''[[Captain Obvious|Vietnamese]]'' cooking!
Line 50:
'''Cronauer''': ARTILLERY!
'''Cronauer''': What can we play for you?
'''Cronauer''': ANYTHING MAN, JUST PLAY IT LOUD!
* [[Reassigned to Antarctica|Reassigned to Guam]]: Sgt. Dickerson's ultimate punishment for his vindictiveness towards Cronauer.
{{quote|'''[[Reasonable Authority Figure|General Taylor]]''': ''Dick, I've covered for you a lot of times cause I thought you were a little crazy. But you're not crazy, you're mean. [[Serious Business|And this is just radio.]]''}}
