An unusual change of pace for Barris was his comedy role in The Fleet's In (1942), as a runty sailor named Pee Wee who perpetrates malapropisms in a surprisingly deep voice.
Skeets’ frequent malapropisms such as “The Internets” and mispronunciations such as Shane “Ba-ché”, Melas’ peculiar analogies and love of the phrase "There's no doubt about that", and Doyle’s eclectic musical selections, as well as various "drops" including the infamous Kenny Smith quote "Gimme Some Raptor News" were all hallmarks of the show.
