Sea Patrol: Difference between revisions

* [[Eagleland Osmosis]]: Averted in the show. Considerable danger of being played straight behind the [[Fourth Wall]]. The characters are in the Royal Australian Navy but they are not only doing duties from time to time which in the US would be done by the Coast Guard (typical of Navies for centuries) but are also acting as if they were primarily a Law Enforcement body. In fact they are part of the Royal Australian Navy Patrol Force, attached to the Maritime Border Command. Look in the Wikipedia under Coast Guard for an explanation and [[Fridge Logic|spend a year]] figuring it out. And take comfort that other countries get [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|bureaucratic headaches.]]

* [[Embarrassing Tattoo]]: Buffer on a night out descides to get another tattoo and forces Spider to come along and get one himself. Buffer (who's definally drunk) goes to sleep in the chair while his tattoo is being done. The next day Bomber is teading to the slightly infeted tattoo and it becomes clear that it isn't the tattoo Buffer wanted. Bomber concers Spider who admits that he didn't get one then reliases that he messed with Buffer's choice. It turns out that he changed it to a heart with XO in it. [[Crowning Momentsof Funny|And the first person Buffer shows it to is the XO]]...Spider is very lucky not to be mained let alone alive when Buffer is finished with him.

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: Most of the nicknames, Chefo is the chef, though he's also the assistant medic, CO is the '''[[Captain Obvious|C]]'''[[Captain Obvious|ommanding]] '''[[Captain Obvious|O]]'''[[Captain Obvious|fficer]], Swaine is the coxswain, etc.
