Line 14:
* '''Adam Quark''': [[The Captain]], who longs for glamorous assignments, but ends up picking up garbage bags. Often gets into adventures without meaning to.
* '''The Bettys''': The [[Bridge Bunnies]], navigators and pilots of the ship. One of them is a clone of the other, but neither one will admit which. Both of them lust after Quark. Notably played by a pair of Doublemint gum twins.
* '''Gene/Jean''': [[Number Two]], with the twist that he's a "transmute," with both male and female chromosomes (and both sets of hormones). Thus, as Gene, he's a [[Jerkass]], but as Jean (complete with a [[Cross -Dressing Voices|female voice]]), she's a [[Technical Pacifist]].
* '''Ficus Pandorata''': [[The Spock]] taken to the extremes, he's a "Vegeton," a member of [[Plant Aliens|sentient plant race]]. He always speaks with [[Spock Speak]], has no emotions at all, cares about no one, and breeds by pollinating.
* '''Andy''': A [[Cowardly Sidekick]] [[Robot Buddy]], he was basically a stupid [[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|Marvin]].
Line 35:
* [[Friday Night Death Slot]]
* [[Gender Blender Name]] (Gene/Jean both ''sound'' the same)
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] (Correct me if I'm wrong, but would Otto Palindrome be a descendant of [[Mork and Mindy|Fred Mc Connell]]?)
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]] (in "Goodbye Polumbus," the Gorgons' machine designed to drain the minds of brilliant scientists traps the crew in their own fantasies, in a parody of the ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode "Shore Leave")
* [[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.)
Line 42:
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]] (in the pilot there was Interface, a four-armed alien woman who controlled communications between ships)
* [[Negative Space Wedgie]] (couldn't avoid 'em 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 Guy|proud warrior race]] that's evil, too. For example:
Line 62:
* [[The Unintelligible]] (Dink spoke only with xylophone beeps)
* [[Tin Can Robot]] (Andy)
* [[You Mean "Xmas"]] (Christmas has become "Holiday Number 11")
