Anyone who tries to talk to them gets a response in gibberish. Finally, a saleswoman says, in ''real'' German, "Kann ich dir helfen?", meaning "Can I help you?" There are two mistakes here. Firstly, she is speaking informal German, which is only used with children, family, and very close friends -- never with a customer. Secondly, she is using the singular form of "you" when talking to two people. What she should have said is, "Kann ich Ihnen helfen?"

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther

* BourgeoisBohemian: Dharma's parents.
* ButICantBePregnant: Abby (Dharma's mother) thinks she's entering menopause and turns out to be pregnant.
* CloudCuckooLander: Larry usually.
* DeadAir: Happens when Dharma creates a pirate radio station. She gets into an argument with Greg for several seconds before realizing she's left dead air and panics, bringing out all the instruments she has on the table.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Myron Lawrence Finkelstein
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Gregory Clifford Montgomery; Dharma Freedom Finkelstein
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Dharma and Greg first saw each other as eight-year-olds, on the same train they met on twenty years later.
* FourthDateMarriage: They're self-aware about it at least- they rationalise that with their tattered past relationships, getting married might be the impetus they need to stay together.

* TheFunInFuneral
* {{Garfunkel}}: Thomas Gibson. The show's draw is HilarityEnsues, which leaves little room for TheStraightMan to get much focus.

* KarmaHoudini: Spider the self-defense teacher from "Instant Dharma".

* MeatVersusVeggies: Abby is a vegan, which is a source of problems in some cases. It doesn't help that her husband Larry is a fanatical meat lover.

* OddCouple: One of the basic themes of the show
* OnlySaneMan: Greg
