* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Zoidberg becomes convinced the Wongs are his parents.

* DamselInDistress: Halfway through the episode Amy is kidnapped by the Native Martians. When the crew eventually come to rescue her, she's not in any serious danger, and the Martians are pretty willing to hand her back over.

Added DiffLines:

* RacistGrandpa: Downplayed. The Professor claims the Western Hemisphere is the best Hemisphere on Earth, after Leo Wong tells him Mars' Western Hemisphere is the best Hemisphere (he owns all of it), even though the Wongs are ethnically Chinese which means their ancestors come from the Eastern Hemisphere. Leo doesn't seem offended though.

* AuthenticationByNewspaper: The Native Martians send the Wongs a picture of Amy holding a newspaper with a headline about her own kidnapping.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: When Leo asks if anyone is considering suing, Farnsworth comments that he feels hurt. When Leo states that he’s friends with every judge on Mars, Farnsworth backs off.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: When the Martians learn that their 'bead' is actually a huge diamond, their leader says they'll buy a new planet and claim it to be sacred and says nobody will challenge the claim because they're rich.

* WorthlessYellowRocks: Spoofed; In backstory, the Wong family got their land from the Native Martians for a single bead. At the end of the episode, it turns out that the 'bead' is actually a giant diamond big enough to crush a man under its weight. The present Native Martians assumed their ancestors were cheated because they had no idea of property and believed the diamond to be worthless. A diamond that big (and apparently flawless, judging by Bender's ecstatic response) probably ''really is'' worth Mars.
