Line 204:
{{quote|'''Dick''': I can see it now on the marquee: "Dick Solomon presents a Dick Solomon production of Dick Solomon's Romeo & Juliet"!}}
* [[Incoming Ham]]: '''''"BEHOLD THE GLORY THAT IS ME!"'''''
* [[Inflationary Dialogue]]: Dick's attempts to "subtly" convince Mary that they've known each other for more than three
* [[Informed Judaism]]: The "Solomon" family spends an episode desperately trying to decide what ethnicity they should be; until their landlady mentions offhand that based on their last name she had just assumed they were Jewish and they decide to run with it (never comes up again). Apparently, they just took it off the side of the first truck they saw.
{{quote|'''Harry''': "Just think, if we'd gone with the first idea, we could have been the Wal-Marts."}}
Line 287:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Tommy is the oldest alien, and acts [[Alter Kocker]] when he decides to retire and give up on acting his human age for an episode.
** He also hams up the [[Alter Kocker]] when, in the final season, they learn that their mission is at an end. The others point out that he always 'acts old' when they reach the end of the mission, but {{spoiler|he actually takes the end of the mission much harder than initially suggested, breaking down during their going away party, a reaction he apparently hasn't had before}}.
* [[Omniglot]]: The Solomons seem to have learned every Earth language in preparation for their trip, or at least a couple dozen. Dick reads a newspaper in a different language almost every episode. When they got cable, they switched to a Spanish-speaking channel and [[Gratuitous Spanish|all started speaking Spanish]]
** They can also speak (at least some) animal languages. For instance, in the second season episode about thanksgiving, Dick hears turkeys on television. He later tells the others that the turkeys were talking about an apocalypse (What made this more hilarious was the reporter on TV earlier jokingly saying that the turkeys seemed to know what was headed their way). In a Season One episode, Harry has a conversation with a dog.
** This may be an unidentified form of [[Neural Implanting]]: in one episode Harry and Dick are locked in a stairwell together for over a day, during which Dick begins talking to his 'inner voice'. In a throw-away line, Harry says his inner voice began speaking to him too, but he didn't know what it said because he doesn't speak French. Obviously, it was just intended as a one-line joke, but if one ponders it, it probably means that Harry has the French language stored somewhere in his brain, he just can't access it.
