Line 33:
* [[Color Me Black]]: Mork uses his Orkan powers to turn a bunch of racists into Latino, Black and Asian, among more exotic changes. They were [[Expy|expies]] of the KKK, so they didn't know it until they [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yR6PcwZtB0 took their white hoods off].
** [[Broken Aesop]]: Well, maybe not broken. Dinged a little. In an episode about how racism is bad, they really should have resisted the urge to use the stereotypical "Asian music" sting when one of the women takes off her hood and is revealed as Chinese.
* [[Corpsing]]: Often. It's really hard to keep a straight face when [[Robin Williams]] is around. One especially noticeable example was in an episode homaging ''[[
** Apparently, Robin liked to do this deliberately. In an interview, Pam mentioned one time where he stood offstage completely naked just to mess with her.
* [[Crazy Cultural Comparison]]: Much of the humor comes from this.
Line 44:
* [[Every Episode Ending]]: "Mork calling Orson. Come in, Orson..."
** "[[Running Gag|Come in, laser breath!]]": Although not in the earlier episodes, and even then, it was initially only done on occasion.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Executive Meddling]]: The new time slot, plus the second season onward featured major changes to try and appeal to a younger crowd. Not to mention trying to make Pam Dawber add more jiggle to the show, which she fortunately refused to do, with Williams' support. Ratings plummeted, and suits were sent scrambling to fix things.
* [[Fantastic Anthropologist]]
Line 70:
* [[Mind Screw]]: The episode where Mork meets Robin Williams. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_kZxk6p760 Really].
* [[Name and Name]]
* [[No Sense of Humor]]: In early episodes, Mork identifies people making [[In
* [[Once an Episode]]: Every episode ended with Mork broadcasting his experiences to Orson, saying, "Mork calling Orson; come in, Orson. Mork calling Orson...come in, Orson..."
* [[Pardon My Klingon]]: Slightly lampshaded when Mork is thinking of revealing himself as an alien in season 1:
Line 77:
** Mindy once mentioned Robin Williams was in town for a show (!). Mork cracks up at the name, and whispers to Mindy what "robin" means on his world. Apparently it's disgusting.
* [[Running Gag]]: Mork teasing [[The Voice|Orson]] about his girth in his debriefings.
* [[Shout
* [[Spin-Off]]: Of ''[[Happy Days]]''. Mork lampshades this on a later ''Days'' [[Clip Show]] in which he teaches Orson about Human relations.
