Tripping The Rift is a computer-animated sci-fi parody created by Chris Moeller and Chuck Austen (of "The Draco" infamy) in 1998 as a short film released on the Internet. The film gained popularity, especially after being shown on the Syfy, and was made into a television series in 2004.

Tropes used in Tripping the Rift include:

Gus: If we didn't believe in God, we'd have to worship the engineering dweebs who designed us
Six: And frankly, the God I pray to doesn't need acne medicine and chronically masturbate.
