Line 37:
* [[MacGuffin]]: in "All the Emperor's Quasi-Norms," Zorgon demands Quark tell him where "it" is. Quark, having no idea what "it" is, lies. We never find out exactly what "it" is, but Quark ends up with a worthless rock necklace.
* [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]]: Princess Libido, daughter of Zorgon, who wants to marry Ficus.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Parodied - Ficus is a plant, Palindrome's firstpersonal name is one, Gene/Jean has male and female chromosomes in their genes, Andy is an android, etc.
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: In the pilot there was Interface, a four-armed alien woman who controlled communications between ships.
* [[Negative Space Wedgie]]: It couldn't avoid them, as it parodied ''[[Star Trek]]''.
* [[Overnight Age-Up]]: In a parody of the ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode "The Deadly Years," Quark due to some [[Applied Phlebotinum]] starts aging two years for every hour
* [[Perpetual Poverty]]: When Palindrome and the Head have to send a [[Science Marches On|telegram]] to Quark in the pilot, they end up spending the entire episode arguing about the cost of sending it and trying to reduce the number of words.
* [[Planet of Hats]]: The Gorgons are all sort of a [[Proud Warrior Race]] that's evil, too. For example:
{{quote|"People of Spartan, this is the High Gorgon. I command your unconditional surrender. You shall be treated with compassion, honor and patience. You have twenty seconds before I blow you out of the galaxy."}}
