* [[Deadly Distant Finale]]: the last page of the book is {{spoiler|Gratuity's obituary. It describes how she died at the opening of the time capsule she sent her essay to.}}
* [[Ditto Aliens]]
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: J.Lo's story of how the Boov were forced out of the sea is equivalent to global warming.
** Putting the humans on reservations.
* [[Easily -Thwarted Alien Invasion]]: the Gorg are {{spoiler|allergic to cats. They try to remedy this by killing any and all cats on the planet. }}
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Gratuity, so named because her mom did not know what Gratuity meant when she was born, as well as J.Lo, who learned his pop culture [[Aliens Steal Cable|from TV]].
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: J.Lo, a male alien named for a female pop star. The [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|fact that his species has seven genders]] only serves to make everyone more confused.
Line 22:
* [[Magical Native American]]: The Chief is a subversion of sorts of this
* [[Next Sunday AD]]: the book starts around 2011 which was about 3 years after when it was written.
* [[Non -Human Sidekick]]: both J.Lo the Boov and Gratuity's cat Pig.
* [[Pardon My Klingon]]
* [[Pig Latin]]: A group of runaway boys use pig latin (badly) because the Boov can't read it.
