Hello, Sailor!: Difference between revisions

== Comic Books ==

* In the second volume of ''Heroes For Hire'', the main characters [[Action Girl|Misty Knight]], [[Ninja|Colleen Wing]], [[Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting|Shang-Chi]], and [[Classy Cat Burglar|Black Cat]] find themselves in a stolen boat with the Coast Guard about to board them.

'''Black Cat: '''They ''are'' sailors, Shang. }}

* [[Deadpool]] accidentally invokes this trope by walking into a bar full of sailors in a [[Fan Disservice|tiny tank top and short shorts]]. Bright pink tank top and short shorts. In San Francisco. And then he comes up with his hairbrained scheme to join the X-Men.

* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' has its own parody on the subject, exchanging "homosexuality" for "cannibalism", and making countless of jokes of navy men casually eating one another, or discussing nonchalantly of who should get eaten. This comes right after a sketch with a letter from a member of the Royal Navy who is ''outraged'' that the show would demean Her Majesty's naval forces... that soon descended into describing the "perfect little buttocks" of the sailors, and John Cleese saying, [[Take Our Word for It|"And we can't show you the rest of that letter."]]

* ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' first season episode "M.A.D.":

* Used in ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', of all shows, in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VucFQe_vhmI&feature=related#t=2m37s final host segment] of ''[[Teenagers from Outer Space]]''. Tom Servo has a rather...spirited reaction to the sight of Joel in a homemade Navy-style uniform.

* In one round of the ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' game "If you Know what I Mean," which involves speaking in nothing but sexual innuendos, one of the players reminisces, "When I was in the Navy, I was surrounded by seamen!"

== Western Animation ==

* Used in an episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' with the Sea Captain, where he was shown purchasing lots of pornography before a long voyage to keep himself and his men straight ... for about five minutes.

** "Simpson Tide" had the Village People sing on the submarine with Smithers dancing along.

* In some ''[[Popeye]]'' cartoons from WWII era (such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qfcPJS5IBc "Seeing Red, White and Blue"]), Navy sailors (except Popeye of course) were portrayed as "funny", groping, mincing and occasionally cross-dressing.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Used]] in an episode of ''[[Johnny Bravo]]''. After being told that women like a guy who's "in touch with his feminine side", the not-very-bright Johnny ends dressing in drag to impress a girl and gets hit on by a couple of [[Ambiguously Gay]] sailors who tell him suggestively that they're "on shore leave."

* A naval school in ''[[Family Guy]]'', described by an instructor:

'''[[Ambiguously Gay|Stewie]]:''' Is there some kind of preschool program? }}

** Also this short of Stewie as an old British Navy Captain

'''Sailors''': Ha Ha Ha! }}

* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'''s advertisement [http://robotchicken.wikia.com/wiki/More_Don%27t_Ask_Then_Ever_Before More Don't Ask Than Ever Before ]
