* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: For the Tankmen, it's not enough to kill their enemies, they have to do this in an over-the-top manner. When Tankgirl kills a opponent by simply breaking their neck, Ted calls her out for having "no imagination", then proceeds to slice another enemies' torso, get him on his knees, shove his gun on his butthole and demands him to "scream to me, bitch", before finally pulling the trigger.

* NotHelpingYourCase: Everything Tim says in the canon shorts is either some kind of sexual pun or a homoerotic joke. "Tankmen 0.5" has him try to convince the Young Man that showering with dudes is only as gay as you make the encounter, before he jumps in to say that dropping a towel means that he's "available".
