'''This series includes examples of:'''
* [[Actor
{{quote|'''Space Ghost:''' My other guest tonight is Mr. "[[Lost in Space]]" himself, ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'''s Joel Robinson.
'''Moltar:''' Joel Hodgson, Space Ghost, not Robinson. }}
Line 42:
* [[Body Snatcher]]: The episode "Snatch", which involves the studio being invaded by alien pods that <s>keep you up all night with their coughing</s> kill and replace their victims.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Joel Hodgson refuses to pretend that he is being interviewed in [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|outer space]].
* [[Breakout Character]]: Andy Merrill's dumb-but-cheerful portrayal of Brak (Created for ''SGC2C'' and refined on ''[[Cartoon Planet]]'') would eventually be given his own show to headline, ''[[The Brak Show]]'', with [[Complete Monster|Zorak]] along to play off of.
* [[Brother Chuck]]: Anyone remember Tansit? Or Lokar? Or Christy (the band's drummer)?
** Andy Merrill used in-character DVD commentary to provide [[Word of God]] that Lokar simply died at some point and the other characters literally forgot Tansit existed at all.
Line 69:
* [[The Danza]]: Andy Merrill as Commander Andy.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Not so much darker, but definitely edgier when it hit [[Adult Swim]]. Suddenly swearing was allowed, there were some innuendos, and there was more violence.
** The series had already started going into this sort of direction by 1998. Only a year later, the series had gotten even stranger (there's semi-frequent talk about "the sex" in "Curling Flower Space" for instance). A lot of episodes from this period have a very proto-Adult Swim/Aqua Teen Hunger Force feel to them.
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: "Brilliant Number One" starts out normal for the first few seconds, then inexplicably turns black and white and drops letterboxes on the top and bottom for the rest of the episode.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in "Zorak" during the ending:
