* Double Subverted: with more emphasis on moron.
* Parodied:
* Gen. Millhouse gets high on a daily basis, frequently plots improbable strategies and plays Russian Roulette because he thinks it's a fun game.
* (At security monitor) "I keep clicking on the tank, but it won't answer! I think the game's broken, man!"
* Deconstructed: Gen. Millhouse's stupidity gets his men and everyone around him into deep trouble, and he's called out for his idiocy before he's stripped of command...
* Reconstructed: ...But that was actually part of The Plan to win the war in the first place...
* Zig Zagged: Gen. Millhouse is a mad man one day, a bright one the next.
* Averted: Gen. Millhouse is the brightest man on Company D, period.
* Enforced: "Let's show them all what not to do in a war! Make one general a total dunce!"
* Lampshaded: "I wonder how somebody that incompetent became an officer."
* Invoked: "Don't assign Millhouse to lead this operation! That idiot might as well be working for the enemy!" Guess what they're gonna do.
* Defied: Gen. Millhouse is stripped of his command once it's apparent how stupid he is.
* Discussed: "What planet is that Gen. Millhouse from?!"
* Conversed: "How did the supposedly-invincible Company D end up with such an idiot commanding officer?" Back to General Failure
