Irresponsible Captain Tylor takes all the old Space Opera cliches, turns them on their head, and plays them for Beyond The Impossible comedy. Its main gag is Tylor himself, who can't decide whether he wants to be dense Idiot Hero Luffy relying on
dumb luckthe luck of the GODS, Indy Ploy master Naruto, Brilliant But Lazy Shikamaru, full on Magnificent Bastard Lelouch hidden behind an impregnable fortess of stupidity, or a combination of any or all of the above, making Jack Sparrow look normal and both cast and audience continually wondering Or Is It? at Tylor's apparently accidental successes. Combine that with his God-like pornomancer skills capable of re-wiring AIs to have emotions, and you have one funny albeit confusing character.
