Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Unstable Flag Officers cause problems.
* '''Straight''': Vice Admiral Edward Evulz is in charge of the Tropelandic SS ''[[TheDreadedDreadnought Tropenought]]'', and he's got a few screws loose, being an AxCrazy jackass.
* '''Exaggerated''': Fleet Admiral Evulz is in charge of an entire Tropeland Navy Fleet, and he's an OmnicidalManiac.
* '''Downplayed''': Captain Evulz is in charge of a frigate, and is a bit of a {{cloudcuckoolander}}.
* '''Justified''': Vice Admiral Evulz had been stuck at sea for well over multiple years; SanitySlippage was practically inevitable.
* '''Inverted''':
** TheCaptain Timothy Berius is a relatively inexperienced captain, but ''damn'' is he surprisingly competent for managing something as small as the Wikistani corvette ''Mighty Mouse'' to absolutely wipe out ''several entire fleets in a row, all by itself'', and he's cool-headed to the point where people might think that he's some kind of FearlessFool. [[SaneBossPsychoHenchmen His crewmates under his command are a completely different story, however]].
** Master Chief Draco Delaroix is Vice Admiral Evulz' enforcer, and he's a scary SociopathicSoldier all too happy to dish out some corporal (or capital) punishment.
* '''Subverted''': Vice Admiral Evulz isn't actually all that crazy. Just a little [[LargeHam hammy and bombastic]].
* '''Double Subverted''': His bubbly, boisterous demeanor is a MaskOfSanity for his AxCrazy OmnicidalManiac tendencies.
* '''Parodied''': For some bizarre reason, the higher you are in rank, the more cuckoo you are. Like RankScalesWithAsskicking, but replace the asskicking with insanity.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Vice Admiral Evulz has a ''really'' ambiguous situation as to what his head's going through; Is he simply just hammy, or is he actually crazy?
* '''Averted''': Evulz isn't above the rank of captain.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfDrama.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Christ... How the hell hasn't he been KickedUpstairs or forced into early retirement yet? He's gonna bring us with him on the way down..."
* '''Invoked''': Vice Admiral Evulz is an InexperiencedKiller, so he tries to make himself go crazy so that he'll mentally prepare himself to kill something.
* '''Exploited''': Vice Admiral Evulz is actually ObfuscatingInsanity, and is trying to appear weird and kooky so that he won't be taken seriously. Or perhaps, he uses his own insanity to make himself appear too weird and kooky to be taken seriously, doubling as a BunnyEarsLawyer.
* '''Defied''': Vice Admiral Evulz is KickedUpstairs or forced into early retirement, because ''no way in hell'' will he be commanding even a ''corvette'', let alone the SS ''Tropenought''.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Played for Laughs''': Vice Admiral Evulz is comically crazy... [[CastFullOfCrazy but so is his crew]].
* '''Played for Drama''': Vice Admiral Evulz has taken ahold of the SS ''Tropenought'', and is planning to fire a salvo of nuclear cruise missiles heading for the Wikistani Capital, which necessitates its top AcePilot, [[TheGrimReaper Reaper 1]], to stop the madman once and for all.

Watch out for that InsaneAdmiral. Heard he's planning on nuking the capital of Wikistan...
