* NotInFrontOfTheKids: When the neighbors bring over a 'coffee ring', a kind of cake, Beldar says this, believing it to be an 'edible sensor ring', a part of their species' lovemaking, and therefore inappropriate for Connie to see.

The plotline is very similar to the early part of the 1993 ''{{Film/Coneheads}}'' film. It depicts Beldar and Prymatt's ship crash landing on Earth, the couple's discovery that they can't be rescued for a while, their settling in on Earth, and the birth of their daughter, Connie. After a visit from their neighbors, the husband of whom thinks the Coneheads are very strange, the pair get a visit by an IRS agent with some questions about their tax history. He quickly leaves after finding out they're 'illegal aliens'.

* TheUnpronounceable: Almost everyone, to Beldar's dismay, gets the last name wrong.
-->'''Beldar''': The name is Conehead!
