* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The "Underground Cavern."
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Tom trying to explain his enthusiasm for this program to his co-workers is familiar to geeks everywhere.
* DopeSlap: Paris gives this to Satan's Robot when it scares off the alien they're trying to make FirstContact with. The Robot shambles off muttering sulkily about alien invaders.
* ElectronicSpeechImpediment
* EmperorScientist / MadScientist / BigBad: [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Doctor]] Chaotica, [[TheMagnificent Ruler of the Cosmos!]]
* EnergyBeings: The aliens are from a photonic universe, causing them to assume the holodeck characters are real while Voyager and its crew don't show up on their sensors.
* EvilIsSexy
* EvilLaugh: Along with the TitleDrop
* ExcitedShowTitle: Bride of Chaotica!
* FemmeFatale: Queen Arachnia, along with DarkActionGirl.
* GenreSavvy: Tom Paris knows something's gone wrong in "Bride of Chaotica!" because Constance Goodheart has been killed, and that [[BoringInvincibleHero never happens to the Good Guys]]. Likewise he tries to warn Captain Janeway of Chaotica's fondness for [[BoobyTrap hidden traps]], but she falls into one anyway.
* HeelFaceTurn: Satan's Robot ends up 'helping' our heroes. Presumably this also happened with Queen Arachnia in previous chapters, which is why she's helping Proton now.
* HighCollarOfDoom: Arachnia wears a pretty big one, in a spiderweb pattern.
* IncomingHam
-->'''Lonzak:''' [[NoIndoorVoice HALT! IN THE NAME OF CHAOTICA!]]
* KneelBeforeZod: Lonzak demands the photonic aliens kneel before his majesty. They've no idea what he's talking about.
* LoveIsInTheAir: While [[ChainedToARock Tied To a Pillar]] Janeway uses Arachnia's vial of "irresistable pheromones" to make Dr Chaotica release her. Unfortunately Chaotica moves out of sniffing range, leaving her to get slobbered over by his ugly henchman Lonzak instead.
* MenInBlack: The alien MIB version -- two photonic aliens appear on the holodeck dressed as grey-suited men in fedoras. They speak in a stilted manner and though dressed like humans of the 1930's are unfamiliar with their society, mistaking the holodeck characters for {{Energy Being}}s like themselves and assuming the supervillains they encounter are a genuine threat.
* {{Mooks}}: Chaotica's [[FacelessGoons 'Army of Evil']], plus his BumblingSidekick Lonzak.
* NotSoAboveItAll: "HA! You're no match for Arachnia!"
** Likewise the Doctor quite enjoys playing the President of Earth, despite dismissing the program as a frivolous fantasy in "Night".
* OffTheRails: Tom and Harry just shoot Lonzak in the middle of his speech since they don't have time to play along.
* ParodyEpisode: The series homaged the early sci-fi serials like ''BuckRogers'' and ''[[Film/FlashGordonSerial Flash Gordon]]''
* RaygunGothic
* RecycledSet: Harry Kim points out that "Planet X" looks identical to "The Mines of Mercury" that they visited in the last adventure. Tom points out that sets were expensive in the days when you couldn't just create them on the holodeck.
* {{Retraux}}
* RuleOfSymbolism: The scene where Janeway, Seven of Nine and B'Elanna Torres brainstorm in Astrometrix, while holodeck hero Tom Paris makes sidekick-like quips from the sidelines. It's obvious which sex wears the pants on ''Voyager!''
* ShotMidSentence: Lonzak is raygunned by Proton and Buster as he's hamming his way through his Roaring Speech of Revenge. They were kinda busy with the invading holographic aliens.
-->"Surprised? You thought I had [[NotQuiteDead perished in that den of crocodiles]]. I SURVIVED! CLINGING to the thought that I would ONE DAY--''Arrrrgh!''"
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Constance Goodheart, then Captain Janeway.
* SupervillainLair: Doctor Chaotica's [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom Fortress of Doom]].
* SurroundedByIdiots: Lonzak's bungling gives Chaotica a frequent opportunity to emote his famous "[[YouFool FOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL!]]" line. Lampshaded when Janeway is trying to get Chaotica to lower his [[DeflectorShields Lightning Shield]] so Captain Proton can attack.
-->'''Chaotica:''' ''(suspicious)'' "Why this preoccupation with the Shield?"
-->'''Janeway:''' "Oh, forgive me. It's just that, as a fellow ruler of the cosmos, [[TheMainCharactersDoEverything I often have to do things myself]]."
-->'''Chaotica:''' "Ah. Because of the incompetence of your inferiors, no doubt!"
-->'''Janeway:''' "Something like that."
-->'''Chaotica:''' "Oh, Arachnia, my love, my life! [[BirdsOfAFeather How well you understand our plight]]. If it weren't beneath my dignity, I...[[ManlyTears I would weep]]. [[LonelyAtTheTop How I've longed for someone who would understand]]."
* TelegraphGagSTOP
* YouJustRuinedTheShot: Aliens mistake the simulation for reality and go to war with Chaotica.
