Line 11:
* [[Aliens and Monsters]]: The inhabitants of Brak's planet.
* [[The Cameo]]: A blink-and-you-missed-it [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Meatwad]] riding a scooter/moped.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Zorak, and [[Laser -Guided Karma|he deserves it.]]
{{quote| '''Zorak:''' Nobody likes me. That's the way I like it.}}
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Season two compared to season one, justified in that season one aired before [[Adult Swim]] had "officially" split from [[Cartoon Network]].
* [[The Ditz]]
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Everyone calls Brak's parents "Dad" and "Mom". Including campaign advertisements and newspapers.
** In an [[Adult Swim]] New Year's Eve bumper, he revealed his name to be Javier.
* [[Furry Confusion]]: Used in the [[Pilot]].
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: Zorak, somewhat muted by the fact that he is [[The Chew Toy]].
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: George Lowe, who played [[Space Ghost]], plays Dad. He also used his regular voice once. Carey Means, who plays [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Frylock]], also plays Thundercleese.
** [[Cee Lo Green]] voices [[Overly Long Name|Prime Cut Diggity Mo Mack Daddy Jizzabang Doggy Dog Dog]] in the episode ''Brakstreet.''
* [[Hey, Let's Put On a Show]]: ''[[Psycho (Film)|Psycho]][[Oklahoma|klahoma]]''!
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]] in that Thundercleese is based off one, but he's certainly not as tall.
* [[Ice Cream Koan]]: Dad has ''a lot'' of these.
Line 41:
** "Mom" turned out to be an imposter in that one. Not that it lets ''Dad'' off the hook...
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Very apparent with Mom.
* [[Spin -Off]]: From ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]''.
* [[Stock Footage]]: From ''[[Space Ghost]] & Dino Boy.'' One episode used [[Stock Footage]] from ''[[Huckleberry Hound]]''.
** "So you're saying that Huckleberry Hound, a dog who has held several jobs and can tie his own bow-tie, has somehow, for reasons unknown, reverted to a primal doglike state... and he's taken to eating noses."
* [[Talking to Himself]]: When [[Space Ghost Coast to Coast|Space Ghost]] visits Dad.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Subverted in that Zorak always dies.
* [[Whole -Plot Reference]]: ''Braklet, Prince of Spaceland'' is a take on ''[[Hamlet]]''. Of course, this is still The Brak Show so everything is completely insane. For example, there is a [[Star Wars|lightsaber battle]] at the end, and a ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]'' plug.
** The way that episode ended could qualify as a [[Gainax Ending]].
* [[Widget Series]]: Also parodies this very trope in "Sexy New Brak Show Go".
