* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The main theme. Also Harry's [[Dream Sequence]] Musical Number, "Life Has Been Good To Me". He's not a bad singer, surprisingly.

* [[Fan Preferred Couple]]: Harry/Nina. One episode demonstrated their potential, but they broke up before they ever got together due to a [[One Dialogue, Two Conversations]] misunderstanding.

* [[Idiot Plot]]: There are numerous plots where the problems/misunderstandings would be solved quickly if only some more specific language was used. Of course, if that was the case, [[Rule of Funny|things wouldn't be nearly as funny.]] It also should be mentioned that the idiot plot is justified for this show, since the Solomons are learning Earth culture and of course wouldn't know about many facets of humanity.

* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: Joseph Gordon-Levitt played Tommy. After the show, Gordon-Levitt appearing in a bunch of independent films before finally becoming a big star on [[Five Hundred Days of Summer (Film)|the back of one of those indie films]] in the late 2000's.

** Every time Tommy appears on screen, it's hard to restrain yourself from screaming (in a high-pitched voice) [[G.I. Joe the Rise of Cobra|"COOOBRAAA!!!"]].

* [[The Scrappy]]: Tommy's first girlfriend, August. Manipulative, selfish, snooty, [[Straw Feminist]] and all-around bitch who broke up with Tommy due to his "immaturity", ''after'' being caught cheating on him and lying about it to his face.

* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: When Dick is called for jury duty, he's entirely gung-ho about the process until he learns the defendant is someone he's met. The case is iron clad and he's completely guilty and Dick knows it, but Dick can't bear to send someone he knows to jail, and have him know Dick in turn. Dick even uses the words "now he has a face" to explain why it bothers him. He's still an idiot, but he sees the defendant as a person and not just a criminal to be convicted.
