* '''Enforced''': "There's a {{stereotype}} that {{nerd}}s are [[TheBore boring people]] with {{no sense of humor}}. Let's shake that by [[SophisticatedAsHell having Bob be able to geek out about astronomy and tell immature jokes at the same time]]. And what better way than to make a 'Uranus' joke?"

* '''Exaggerated''': "Uranus" jokes are shoehorned into every situation that even remotely involves astronomy. To boot, even [[NotSoAboveItAll the most mature characters]] chuckle.
