* StatusQuoIsGod: In one episode, the BigBad's BeleagueredAssistant leads a rebellion against him. After the General's aide successfully defeats and vapourises him, the aide puts on his old boss's hat, puts on the same voice, promotes himself to General, declares that he has the exact same evil plan as the previous General (to capture and eat Jamie) and immediately gains an aide of his own. All members of their species are completely identical, so absolutely nothing changed.

!!Jamie's Got Tropes!:

* AlienPrince: Jamie is the alien prince of Planet Blarb, and resembles a squid with green skin and four eyes when out of his human disguise. He came to Earth to hide out from the Vloks, an extra-terrestrial race that eats princes.
* BreathWeapon: Jamie breathes out fire in a few episodes, like in "The Invaders From Planet Earth" and "Unhappy Campers".
* CannotTellALie: Blarbs don't lie or even pretend. This is why Jamie sometimes doesn't understand some things Erwin says or does.
* ChameleonCamouflage: Jamie can use this power to blend in with the walls, which he uses to play hide and seek in "Erwin Is An Alien".
* EyeBeams: Jamie has the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes as seen in a few episodes including "The Attack Of The Mutant Mosquitos" and "Eye Contact 2.0".
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: When Jamie is scared, he shrinks a bit. The more scared he is, the more he shrinks. This is shown quite a lot in "No Peas For Jamie" where he thinks that green peas are terrible aliens called Muggles who have come to destroy Earth. In the end, Erwin scares him so much by pulling faces that he shrinks to a size that nobody can see him at.
* MindReading: Jamie first reads a mind in "Girls Are From Mars and Boys Belong on the Moon". It seems that he reads minds with little to no effort. He can also send messages with his mind, as shown first in "Artificial Intelligence".
* NotQuiteFlight: Jamie can learn how not to [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrink when he is scared]] and swallow his fear, but as a side effect, he can uncontrollably levitate the objects around him including himself.
* OctopoidAliens: When not wearing his human disguise, Jamie looks much like a squid with dark green skin, four oval eyes and at least seven tentacles.
* RubberMan: Jamie can stretch out his tentacles, even when he's still in disguise, to make it seem like he is simply stretching his limbs.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Jamie can talk with animals such as ants, fish, and probably all animals. He can also talk to and understand plants.
