* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: At the beginning of season 2, Quark, the family dog, eats Wayne's special vegetables and grows into a huge monster. The solution was for the Szalinskis to use the ShrinkRay and bring Quark back down to a smaller size to begin with, making him look more like his movie counterpart.

Another example of this is the first episode, which shows Grandpa Murdock accidentally swallowing all his family members whole after they shrunk.

** A good example would be "Honey, We're Stuck in the 70's" in which Amy uses her dad's time machine to travel back to a time when her teacher, on whom she has a crush, was younger so she can date him. The show already goes a little far by given them several steamy make-out scenes, but the scene that probably got the show switched off by concerned parents across the country was one in which the two are in his car, making out, and he suddenly begins to dig in the back seat. He digs long enough to make people ''seriously'' start to wonder [[AccidentalInnuendo what exactly he's trying to find]]. In the end he finds what he wanted; an 8-track of romantic music.

** By the end, after having to use magic to defeat them after all, he still insists that there must be a perfectly logical explanation, but [[SubvertedTrope he no longer cares what it is]] as long as his family is safe.

* {{Homage}}: ''Several'' episodes are obvious homages to famous or recently popular movies -- ''Film/MenInBlack'', ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'', and ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'' to name a few, as well as the FantasticVoyagePlot in the first episode and the ''Franchise/JamesBond'' spoof.

* LampshadeHanging: The show was ''much'' more meta than the movies it was based on, with characters often complaining about the cliche plotlines they found themselves stuck in. Several times, references to the series ''Series/BosomBuddies'' were made, but nobody could ever remember the name of the actor who played "the other guy" opposite Creator/TomHanks. Wayne even began vocally complaining when the show began introducing supernatural elements into its plots, as it rankled his sensibilities as a scientist (and not coincidentally, the fans who preferred more traditional sci-fi).
