* HypocriticalHumor: Dr. Plankenstein dismisses awards shows as being lame. Then he likes them once it turns out ''he's'' up for an award.

* AffectionateParody: Of traditional holiday movies where the protagonist visits their friend's family and cannot understand their customs, complete with a romance plot.
* ArtShift: The Quasar movie has a different background style featuring more jagged and sharp lines, and everything's coloring is slightly displaced from its lineart.
* BaitAndSwitch: We see Quasar and the Saladrian leader engaged in what appears to be intense negotiation over a peace treaty. Turns out they're just playing RockPaperScissors.

* DisneyDeath: Inga-Tron almost dies after [=GrandPat=] squirts water on her. Quasar manages to save her with a bowl of space rice.
* InformedAttractiveness: Parodied. Inga-Tron is described as gorgeous and a HeadTurningBeauty for both Quasar and King Saladrian, who [[LoveAtFirstSight fall in love with her at first sight]]. This is despite Inga-Tron basically being Pat-Tron with hair and a dress, and often being shown with a wall-eyed and stupid expression to sell this.
* LosingYourHead: The wedding ceremony would involves both parties' heads being torn off their bodies to be refit into fancy clothes; harmless to Inga-Tron, but it would kill Quasar. Patrick, who can safely remove his head, casually comments, "I don't see what the big deal is."

{{Parodied}}. At his awards show, Patrick gives an In Memoriam montage, mostly consisting of characters on the show who are already ghosts or zombies.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Captain Quasar was disliked for the fact that he mainly shows up in unfunny {{Cutaway Gag}}s that have ''nothing'' to do with the episode, and he has no defined personality besides being a bit of a {{jerkass}}. This episode [[SalvagedStory salvaged the concept]] by giving Quasar a main role, portraying him as more sympathetic and involving him in a plot with more characters.
* SalvagedStory: The Quasar and Pat-Tron segments get a major revamp in this episode through both characters' recharacterization. Quasar goes from being an obnoxious MilesGloriosus to a more emotional and dramatic FishOutOfWater compared to Pat-Tron's family, making his character more entertaining and sympathetic. With most of the conflict focusing on Quasar's misguided attempts to impress one of Pat-Tron's relatives, Pat-Tron's LethallyStupid nature is dialed down. While he does cause trouble at the start, he's mostly out of the story after it and even manages to save Quasar in the end. It also helps that their appearance is the main story this time around, rather than being {{padding}} to a completely unrelated one. In the end, the episode did a lot to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap redeem both characters]] for most fans.
