Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Let's get this started with a Freeze-Frame Bonus. If you look closely at the Pirate of the Year application, the highest level of shouting is Brian Blessed.
  • This line from a scientist regarding Polly.

"Makes that electricity thing look like a pile of crap!"

  • The Pirate Captain's "WTF" expression when he realizes that Darwin is crushing on Queen Victoria.
  • The use of "I'm Not Crying" by Flight of the Conchords makes a sort-of sad scene hilarious.
  • The Pirate Captain's failed attempts at pillaging. Particularly on how he keeps losing steam with each worthless target. By the time he reaches the ghost ship he's not even trying to sound tough.
