- Accidental Innuendo: Kirk says of Spock "Aroused, his great physical strength could kill." This little gem also becomes Hilarious in Hindsight once you watch "Amok Time" and realize that Kirk's wording was actually pretty accurate.
- Cliché Storm: The brief all-cliche speech from Kirk:"Maybe we weren't meant for paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our way through, struggle, claw our way up, scratch for every inch of the way. Maybe we can't stroll to the music of the lute. We must march to the sound of drums."
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The episode is very similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers, with the spores making you happy rather than remove emotions. Guess who appeared in the 1978 version.
