* AmbiguousEnding: "Uranus Awaits" ends with Tommy getting an A-grade and forgiving Dinko for lying to him, causing Dinko to regain his sanity and apologise for lying to Tommy. It then turns out that Tommy put Dinko into the same LotusEaterMachine he put Tommy in earlier, leaving it ambiguous just how much of the second half of the episode actually happened and how much only occurred in said machine.

* CastingGag:
** This isn't the first [[WesternAnimation/ButtUglyMartians CGI show focusing on aliens befriending humans]] that Creator/CharlieSchlatter and Creator/JessHarnell have starred in. The main difference is that Schlatter now plays a human character instead of an alien.
** Similarly, this isn't the first time Creator/CharlieAdler has voiced a [[WesternAnimation/SpaceGoofs neurotic green alien]]. He even uses the same voice for Dinko as he did for Candy.
