Line 4:
** The casting of [[David Tennant]], [[Martin Freeman]], and [[Brian Blessed]] got a lot of people excited.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Queen Victoria. A heartless psychopath who will stop at absolutely nothing to wipe out pirates forever, collects exotic animals for the sole purpose of eating them and implicitly states that she is not above ''[[I'm a Humanitarian|cannibalism]].''

** The Bishop of Oxford in the book counts as well. He kidnapped Darwin's brother if he expedited Mister Bobo and has been {{spoiler|making women sweat so much that it kills them so he could turn it into bars of soap to make him look younger}} and it's been hinted that he's been doing it for seven or eight months!
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWOFLtsDvbw song in the first UK trailer], to the tune of "Drunken Sailor".
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]:In chapter three of the book, The Pirate in Green lets the Pirate Captain know that he's planning to get a tattoo of his face with him saying "Scurvy Knaves" on his upper arm and he wants to know if he's OK with it. The Pirate Captain is left speechless.

* [[Designated Hero]]: Why are we rooting for the pirates again? The only thing they done that's even remotely close to genuine goodness is {{spoiler|saving [[Empathy Pet|Polly]], who the Captain had himself sold}}. Let's not forget that these people have sworn themselves to looting and gutting people. Of course, they are the lesser of two evils in the story and of course, it's a children's tale, but one can still wonder why we are supposed to sympathise with them.
Line 20:
* [[Genius Bonus]]: Darwin is cataloging a new species of barnacle when he first appears. Before ''Origin of Species'', Darwin spent much of his career systematizing the taxonomy of barnacles, and was considered one of the world's top experts on such crustaceans.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Tons of it between the Pirate Captain and the Pirate With A Scarf.
* [[One
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The censoring of the Leper scene caused this.
** The news that Russell Tovey (the Albino Pirate) was being overdubbed with Anton Yelchin for the American release has been getting this reaction.
** In fact, anything to do with the [[Americanitis|American version.]]
* [[What Do You Mean
* [[The Woobie]]: Charles Darwin. Dear god, Charles Darwin...
** [[Jerkass Woobie]]: In the beginning of the story and up until his betrayal by Queen Victoria.
