Upon reviewing the tropes in the Nice Hat disambig, it seems that Signature Headgear (with a touch of Hat Of Authority) would be the most relevant trope here, given Jones's declaration that a man's hat is his identity.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify.

''[[https://www.deviantart.com/swashbookler/gallery/171733/davy-jones-day-off Davy Jones' Day Off]]'' is a webcomic created by [[https://www.deviantart.com/swashbookler Swashbookler]] on Website/DeviantArt, based upon the characters from the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' film series.
DavyJones, captain of the ''FlyingDutchman'', is cursed so that he can only set foot on land one day every ten years. Today is that day. In dire need of a day off from his dreary job, Jones and his crew make port and spend the day goofing off, engaging in silly {{slapstick}}, and [[TheDrunkenSailor getting completely drunk]]. But when Jones accidentally drinks a potion that temporarily [[HumanityEnsues makes him human again]], he makes a bet with his crew to take a woman out on a date and get her to kiss him by nightfall. The woman in question turns out to be Ella Devylinn, a widowed duchess who doesn't take any crap from anyone, not even the devil of the sea himself. HilarityEnsues.
----
!!This webcomic provides examples of:
* AdaptationalComicRelief: Aside from [[ButtMonkey Hadras]], Davy Jones and his crew are always treated as nightmarish threats in the film series, and Lord Cutler Beckett is a serious, cunning BigBad. They're all goofy idiots in this comic.
* AlmostKiss: Davy Jones and Ella attempt to kiss several times, but neither of them are willing enough to go through with it.
* ArtEvolution: An unfortunate case. Starting with [[https://www.deviantart.com/swashbookler/art/Davy-Jones-Day-Off-pg75-479704617 page 75]], the detailed colored digital art was phased out in favor of simple cartoony pencil sketches, a compromise that had to be made to combat the comic's notorious ScheduleSlip. Still, when the comic needed to be more serious or dramatic, it did receive a [[AnimationBump temporary boost in quality]], as seen on [[https://www.deviantart.com/swashbookler/art/Davy-Jones-Day-Off-pg-91-542592828 page 91]].
* BadassMustache: John Devylinn, a dashing hero who executed two exciting rescues, has a very prominent mustache.
* BrickJoke:
** At the start of the comic, Maccus convinces Davy Jones not to wear a [[FanDisservice thong]]. When Jones gets utterly wasted, Maccus asks Wheelback to confirm that the thong was burned and buried. Comes back again later when Jones is GoingCommando, prompting one townsfolk to suggest burning and burying the GoofyPrintUnderwear he left behind.
** When we're first introduced to Ella Devylinn, she's washing laundry for East India Trading Company, and then she gets kidnapped by Davy Jones. At the theater, Cutler Beckett remarks that he was late because the laundromat was shorthanded and was late with his laundry.
* BurnTheWitch: The angry mob accuses Ella of being a witch due to the fact that she was on a date with Davy Jones, and they try to burn her at stake.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
** When Ella demands that Davy Jones tell her what he wants with her, he replies that he wants the Thai Chicken Chipotle.
** When Davy Jones notices Cutler Beckett [[PsychoticSmirk smirking]] at him, Jones thinks that Beckett wants his NiceHat.
* TheComicallySerious: In contrast with all the other goofy ''Flying Dutchman'' crewmembers, Bootstrap Bill always looks solemn and dead-serious. It becomes hilarious during their ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' performance when Bill has to say ridiculous lines such as "And look, Juliet lies in her blood from being bludgeoned to death with a [[FryingPanOfDoom frying pan]]" with a straight face.
* CommanderContrarian: When Davy Jones takes Ella out to dinner, he argues with every option she picks.
-->'''Ella''': Well, now that Ah'm a dinner hostage Ah guess Ah'll be havin' the Chicken Cordon Bleu.\\
'''Davy''': OH SURE! Choose theh most expensive thing on there-ah!\\
'''Ella''': IT IS NOT! Fine, Ah'll 'ave theh Pea Soup.\\
'''Davy''': Now yeh choose theh cheapest thing-ah like Ah'm sum sort of cheap skate!\\
'''Ella''': Then Ah'll 'ave theh Caesar Salad. Right in theh middle of theh prices.\\
'''Davy''': You choose theh salad cause yeh think yer fat, didn't yeh?\\
'''Ella''': Then I'll have the MEAT LOVER'S OMELET!\\
[''{{beat}}'']\\
'''Davy''': Fatty.
* CrosscastRole: All known members of the ''Flying Dutchman'' crew are male. When they are forced to perform ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', Hadras and Jimmy Legs are cast as Lady Montague and Juliet, respectively. Hadras takes to the role pretty well and even forgets that he's still wearing a dress after the show's over, while Jimmy despises every moment of it (though Davy Jones finds it hilarious).
* DenserAndWackier:
** Aside from Jack Sparrow's antics, the ''Pirates'' films tend to be dark and serious. In contrast, this comic is very goofy and doesn't take itself seriously at all.
** An in-universe example. The ''Flying Dutchman'' crew's performance of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' is much goofier and weirder than the tragic source material, not helped by the fact that said crew consists of freaky mutant fish-people. Ella comments on enjoying the abridged play with "abstract cosmetics".
* TheDrunkenSailor: Davy Jones and Hadras get utterly wasted, and Jones also challenges Gibbs to a drinking contest.
* DynamicEntry: When John saved Ella from the tea party, he made his big entrance by crashing through the window.
* {{Feghoot}}: The artist's comments for [[https://www.deviantart.com/swashbookler/art/Davy-Jones-Day-Off-68-216298237 page 68]] reveal that the entire comic up to that point was created just to set up the joke of human Davy Jones attempting to impress a woman by playing the organ with his beard.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Bootstrap Bill knocks out Jimmy Legs with a frying pan. When Jimmy starts to regain consciousness, Maccus panics and starts repeatedly bludgeoning Jimmy with the frying pan.
* FunetikAksent: Several characters, most notably Davy Jones and Ella Devylinn, are given a heavy accent in their dialogue, represented by spelling "I" as "Ah", "the" as "theh", "you" as "yeh", etc.
* GoingCommando: Davy Jones can phase through walls... but apparently, his GoofyPrintUnderwear cannot phase with him. He subsequently loses his underpants when phasing himself, Ella, and a horse through a building to escape the angry mob.
* HumanityEnsues: Madam Moranna gives Wheelback a potion that will make him human until nightfall. Davy Jones (thinking it's alcohol) drinks it instead, setting into motion the rest of the comic's plot.
* IllKillYou:
** Jimmy Legs threatens to kill Maccus after the latter kisses him during ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''.
** The stage manager threatens to kill Crash if he messes up his ending narration.
* LargeHam:
** Davy Jones is incapable of [[https://www.deviantart.com/swashbookler/art/Davy-Jones-Day-Off-pg-40-116979843 introducing]] [[https://www.deviantart.com/swashbookler/art/Davy-Jones-Day-Off-66-216297559 himself]] without dramatically saying his name.
** Cutler Beckett is prone to {{Skyward Scream}}ing whenever Davy Jones slips by right under his nose.
* LaxativePrank: Maccus gives Davy Jones a mint for his date. Since Maccus is trying to sabotage the date in order to win the bet, the "mint" is actually a laxative.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Davy Jones and Ella Devylinn bicker so much that everyone around them thinks that they must be a married couple.
* LoopholeAbuse: Once the day is done, Davy Jones can no longer walk on land. That doesn't stop him from climbing on rooftops, piggybacking on random townspeople, or even walking around wearing watermelons for boots.
* MagicalRomani: Madam Moranna is a stereotypical Romani FortuneTeller who clearly recognizes Wheelback as a damned soul of the ''Flying Dutchman'' and gives him a potion that can [[HumanityEnsues turn him human]].
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: When Maccus stabs an actor through the torso with his cutlass, the actor simply asks, "Has that always been there?" before slumping over dead.
* MortonsFork: Jimmy Legs says IllKillYou when Maccus kisses him during ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''. Maccus desperately tries to explain that it's just part of the play and he doesn't actually have any feelings towards Jimmy. After a {{beat}}, Jimmy angrily asks if Maccus is breaking up with him, followed by him repeatedly stabbing Maccus with a knife.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: The second-best rescue Ella has ever been in was when her husband John rescued her from... the most boring tea party ever. It's treated as just as exciting as him saving her from angry natives.
* NiceHat: According to Davy Jones, a man's hat is his identity. His impressive hat is enough to cause townspeople to flee in terror, and he is convinced that Cutler Beckett is after him for his hat.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Despite being AdaptationalComicRelief, it's clear that the crew of the ''Flying Dutchman'' are still very dangerous. They slaughter an innocent cast of actors just to sabotage a bet. Their behavior towards human Davy Jones (before realizing who he is) also suggests that they're not above ganging up and assaulting random drunken sailors wandering the streets.
* OffscreenTeleportation: When Ella tries to leave during their dinner date, Davy Jones magically warps in front of her. Ella is very confused, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent as well as the waiter in the background]].
* OverTheShoulderCarry: When Davy Jones kidnaps Ella Devylinn to take her on the date, he carries her away on his shoulder while she screams.
* OriginalCharacter: Unlike the other major characters who all originate from the films, Ella Devylinn was created entirely for this comic.
* PaperThinDisguise: The only thing Davy Jones needs to do to avoid mass panic is put on a different hat so that nobody recognizes him.
* PerformanceAnxiety: Crash, cast as the narrator of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', suffers from stage fright and stutters his way through the opening narration.
* PyrrhicVictory: Maccus deduces that he must have won the bet, but inevitably having to face Davy Jones' temper makes him question if it was worth it.
* RunningGag: Random townspeople freaking out when they recognize Davy Jones... due to his NiceHat. Usually followed by Jones [[PaperThinDisguise putting on a different hat]] and everyone immediately calming down.
* SarcasmBlind: Maccus cheerfully suggests that Davy Jones go out on a date with a woman. Jones, who famously hates women after Calypso broke his heart, furiously dares Maccus to say it again... and Maccus happily obliges in the same exact tone as before.
* ShoutOut: Davy Jones does a karaoke version of [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid "Under the Sea"]]. Later, he gets Sebastian to sing a gender-flipped version of "Kiss the Girl".
* TheShowMustGoOn: The crew of the ''Flying Dutchman'' slaughter the cast of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' to sabotage the play that Davy Jones and Ella Devylinn were going to see. The stage manager furiously declares that "THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!" and forces the Dutchman crew to perform the play themselves.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender:
** Madam Moranna is clubbed in the head by Wheelback on accident.
** Ella Devylinn finds herself on the receiving end of slapstick just as much as the male characters, such as when Jones repeatedly pulls the chair out from under her or when he [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength accidentally crushes her hand]].
* [[invoked]]TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Maccus is the only one giving a damn about his performance when the ''Flying Dutchman'' crew are forced to perform ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''. The stage manager even commends him for it and promises to make him famous.
* TemptingFate: Immediately after Ella remarks that men aren't just going to come by and sweep her off her feet, Davy Jones arrives and [[OverTheShoulderCarry carries her away]].
* TorchesAndPitchforks: Cutler Beckett riles up an angry mob against Davy Jones as part of his plot to capture him.
* UnsoundEffect: The sound effects heard while the ''Flying Dutchman'' crew slaughter the actors are "kill", "gore", "stab", "die", and "maim".
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Aside from freaking out when seeing Davy Jones' NiceHat, the townspeople don't seem to bat an eye when a bunch of mutant humanoid fish-people are roaming about.
* UnwantedRescue: Ella had just succeeded in talking down the angry mob and convincing them to let her go. Then Davy Jones arrives to rescue her, causing the crowd to immediately turn on Ella again. Ella angrily calls Jones an idiot.
* WorstWhateverEver: Ella recounts the time her husband John saved her from the "WORST. Tea party. EVER."
