Line 30:
* [[No Name Given]]: Abe and Garcia are only ever known by their nickname (Abe) or their last name (Garcia).
* [[Noodle Implements]]: Abe's [[Zombie Apocalypse|Necropocalypse]] Survival Kit: A bottle of wine, a can of kerosene, a rope, and ''[[Squick|condoms]]''.
* [[Nostalgia
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]/[[Rules Lawyer]]: The Staff NCOs.
* [[Old Soldier]]: [http://terminallance.com/2010/02/02/terminal-lance-9-the-natural-age-progression-of-a-weapons-platoon-commander/ Parodied] [http://terminallance.com/2010/11/08/terminal-lance-79-all-that-salt/ ruthlessly.]
Line 40:
* [[Semper Fi]]: [[Captain Obvious|The United States Marine Corps plays a important role in the comic.]]
* [[Serious Business]]: Uriarte notes in the blog post for [http://terminallance.com/2012/01/10/terminal-lance-171-serious-business/ this strip] that Marines will argue about pretty much anything to get away from the boredom of everyday life in the Corps, and they'll stick to their guns no matter how pointless the argument is.
* [[Shout
* [[Splash of Color]]: The comic is done in black and white, with the exception generally being reflective belts (always very bright yellow, regardless of it being relevant or not). Other one-off splashes of color include service ribbons in some strips, a candy wrapper, and a green Clone-A-Willy.
* [[Too Soon]]: Uriarte drew [http://terminallance.com/2010/01/19/terminal-lance-5-race-card/ this strip] before he realized that it would be put up right after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Line 48:
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: Uriarte was required to produce an animated short for a class, and decided to base it on the same experiences that the online comics draw from.
* [[Art Shift]]: From Uriarte's normal style. This one features much more simplified, [[Super
* [[Bathroom Stall Graffiti]]: One of the Marines draws a penis on the wall, while giggling uncontrollably.
* [[Book Ends]]: The film begins and ends the same way: With a shift change, a Marine tapping the butt of the [[More Dakka|machine gun]], and sighing.
Line 54:
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: Primary theme of the short. They appear to spend all of ten seconds actually standing watch, and the rest of their shift finding various ways to pass the time.
* [[Heroes Love Dogs]]: Or at least, very bored sentries love any distraction from the monotony of their day, which would include stray dogs passing nearby.
* [[Shout
* [[Splash of Color]]: The entire film is in a gray-scale color palette, except for a bottle of urine.
* [[Super
* [[Toilet Humour]]: At one point, one of the Marines is shown pissing into an empty bottle. [[Chekhov's Gun|Shortly after]], they decide to [[Urine Trouble|see how far they can throw it.]]
* [[Truth in Television]]: According to some of the [[YouTube]] comments on the film, quite a bit of this stuff happens in [[Real Life]], if not all in one shift.
