Lexx/YMMV

"Viggo: Mantrid, I cannot live without you. Mantrid: You're being sentimental, my friend. Viggo: Mantrid, please! Mantrid: Viggo - I like you. I've enjoyed some of the time I've spent with you. (coldly) But I don't love you. I don't love anyone."
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Several, even taking into account the show's general style. The usual reaction to a BLAM is the likely intention, too.
 * Complete Monster: His Shadow. Also, most of his priests and bio-viziers.
 * Mantrid
 * Prince. Hell Prince is The Devil and Death all in one!
 * The sub-ends
 * In fact, an alarmingly large number of the people the crew meet.
 * Ear Worm: The Brunnen-G's fight song, so much so that it was made into the opening credits track for the audience's sake.
 * It even becomes a big hit in Newfoundland.
 * Fan Nickname: "Supreme Beans," or just "the Beans," for the people behind the show, after a fan misspelled "beings" on a forum when referring to them.
 * Fate Worse Than Death: Part of the love slave transformation for female prisoners is for her brain to be reprogrammed so that she falls madly in love with and is fanatically devoted to the first person she sees after the reprogramming is complete, which would be whoever her owner would be. At Zev's trial, it is explained that the owner can treat his love slave any way he pleases and discard her when he gets tired of her. So basically he could abuse her to his heart's content and she would continue to worship the ground he walks on no matter how horrible he was to her. This programming would hold even if he got tired of her, which would cause untold anguish for her when he abandoned her. This is hammered home when after she is sentenced, Zev begs the judge to send her to the protein bank instead.
 * Fetish Fuel: Everything, and we do mean everything and the show knows it and taunts you with it.
 * Love slaves, leather/latex clothes on the leads, vampires, penis-shaped shower heads/water faucets, crossdressers, single-gender planets, lusty cannibals, biological toilets that have tongues ...
 * At one point, Stanley gets the bright idea to squeeze and pump the non-functional food dispensers in the hopes of getting some food out. The food dispensers being even more phallic than the shower heads, you can guess what this looks like.
 * When Lexx had just started, the creators mentioned Baywatch's bipolar attitude to its Jiggle Show status in an interview ("there's big silicone-injected jugs, but little Bobby has lost his dog"). "We'd say, 'Boobs -- just go with it.'" It's intentional.
 * Fight Scene Failure: Happens when Kai takes out the mooks on the gondola in "May".
 * Fridge Horror: What, exactly, is Xev using to shower with in her bathroom on the Lexx?
 * Water, extracted from all the stuff Lexx consumes?
 * Forget that, what the Hell are she and Stanley eating?!
 * The products of Lexx's vital activity? Like, you know, we consume milk or honey?
 * Genius Bonus: The Higgs Boson apparently can't be measured without causing a planet to implode into a stranglet.
 * Hell Is That Noise: Throughout season 2, the Mantrid Drones' creepy, angry mechanical whining, and they swarm in the quintillions.
 * Ho Yay Oh, Hoom Va Ray...
 * Brother Trager falls in love with Stan in "Nook". It is completely one-sided on Trager's part, and Stan comes across as a tad homophobic in response. He does his best to let Trager down as gently as possible, however, and at one point genuinely considers making an exception for him.
 * Another one-sided, but much more twisted, example occurs between Mantrid and his deranged assistant, Viggo.


 * Hoist by His Own Petard: Quite a few of the villains are done in like this.
 * His Divine Shadow: Tries to grow a genetically engineered planet-killing insect to destroy human planets with, only for it to be stolen by humans who use it to defeat him.
 * Mantrid: Turns the mass of the entire universe into his drones, saving the Lexx and crew for last...but inadvertently causes a big crunch by moving all that mass towards them at once.
 * Gigerotta: In Supernova, Gigerotta flies around Brunnis in a moth she periodically takes bites out of when she needs a snack. When the moth squeaks in protest, Gigerotta tells the "flying meat" to shut up. When Gigerotta lands for a moment and gets out, the moth takes off and leaves her behind to die in the supernova, waving goodbye as it does so.
 * Hollywood Homely: The female Hooker with a Heart of Gold in "Luvliner", others.
 * I Am Not Shazam: You'd be amazed by how many people thought that Zev/Xev is named Lexx.
 * Les Yay: Xev and Bunny.
 * Mondegreen: The chorus singing the Brunnen-G fight song embellishes certain syllables in odd ways, it's in a made-up language, and no official lyrics have really been released for it, so dozens of written versions are around the internet. However, the last episode is entitled "Yo Way Yo," which is the first line, and the track on the Brigadoom soundtrack is entitled "Jerhume Brunnen-G," the last line. Since the translation is known (Fighters fight the Fight / For their home and their heart / We fighters will win or die / Forever we are Brunnen-G) the third line must be based on the first, so it's likely "Yo Way Ra(h)." The second line is still a mystery and up to the listener's ear to decide.
 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * Stan does this when he decides to blow up the Water Planet in Season 3 all to save the life of one woman. Prince even proves this when it becomes the act that
 * Most Annoying Sound: "Bug Bomb, Malfunction!"
 * This wasn't present on the original UK broadcast on Channel 5 and is thus, EVEN MORE ANNOYING.
 * Narm Charm: The special effects.
 * Paranoia Fuel: Pretty much the entirety of "Norb".
 * Rescued From the Scrappy Heap:
 * Special Effects Failure: Most of the CG and blue screen effects in the first season are not convincing, and the same effects from the later seasons have not aged well (not to mention an extremely bad Chroma Key sequence when the crew are escaping from Mantrid's prison in the second season opener). As mentioned above, however, some see it as Narm Charm.
 * The interior of the Lexx was originally this trope, until Season 2, in which the show got a higher budget, resulting in a complete overhaul of the sets. This is even explained in-universe, as the Lexx was still growing during Season 1, but has fully matured by Season 2.
 * So Cool Its Awesome: A bit subjective perhaps, but few who actually watched the show on a serious basis would deny that it was one of the great underrated and unnoticed Space Opera television series of all time. It is however, so into Fetish Fuel that some people have difficulties dealing with it.
 * Squick: Whatever is not Fetish Fuel for you ends up here.
 * Too Good to Last: Averted; the show was in danger of being canceled, but fan outcry got it back for its fourth season. Despite the open ending of the final episode, the fourth season was always intended to be the last.
 * True Art Is Incomprehensible: Kai's living reincarnation in season four is an actor/performance artist whose own interpretation of Shakespeare's Henry V has to be seen to be believed, falling somewhere between preciously pretentious and "holy shit, did he really just do that?"
 * Ugly Cute: Squish.
 * Unfortunate Implications: In "Girl Town", apparently all tortured prisoners in the titular Lady Land are Camp Gay sterotypes. Since Fire is supposed to be Hell...
 * The Woobie: Zev/Xev. For starters, her parents sell her to the Wife Bank as an infant, resulting in her spending her life being raised "in a box" by a hologram instructing her on how to be a submissive but sexually aggressive wife. When she is released, she is purchased by the parents of a Spoiled Brat to be his wife, but after hearing his insults directed at her appearance, Zev lost it and punched him in the face. She was then arrested and put on trial for "failing her wifely duties" and sentenced to be transformed into a love slave, and we all know how that turned out. To top it all off, the only man she's ever loved is incapable of returning her affections, both physically and mentally.
 * Cleasby in "Prime Ridge". He overlaps with Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds given how much he loves his guns.
 * Brother Trager in "Nook".
 * in "Woz".
