-->'''Fichael''': So, ... it's broken?

* ArtShift: The animation style used in the first few scenes of the show and also the theme song is noticeably a lot more fluid and three-dimensional than the rest of the series. The characters move with more freedom, fluidity, and depth. There's a lot more detail, texture, and shading put into the backgrounds, creating some gorgeous artwork. The animation drew heavy inspiration from 80's media, filtering the art style of ''[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]]'' through a vintage vaporwave aesthetic. This all immediately changes as soon as we cut back to the rest of the show, which displays a bunch of [[LimitedAnimation flat and generic]] [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Family Guy]]-looking caricatures, living in a one-dimensional environment.

* MamaBear: Flammy might be an inbred, racist old crone, but she deeply loves her son, to the point that when her family members mocked and bullied him for his appearance, she ends up killing most of them during a mock execution of Renzo (due to having attacked Flammy's ex-fiancee).


Added DiffLines:

* NonIndicativeName: The Intellectoids, a race of aliens with massive heads that have a reputation for being hyper-intelligent. They're actually this series incarnation of Roger Black and Waco O'Guin's recurring author avatars, meaning they're also incredibly stupid.


Added DiffLines:

* RealAfterAll: The Church Of Ozner, the main religion of Farzar, revolves around the worship of Ozner, an unseen diety who's edicts always seem to directly benefit his high priest Renzo, his name is literally just "Renzo" backwards, and when he finally appeared in person due to Fichaels insistance, it was clearly just Renzo [[PaperThinDisguise with a mop on his head]]... except after Fichael kicked Ozner in the balls and farted in his face to prove the fraud, Renzo showed up himself, revealing that Ozner IS real after all, and absolutely furious at Fichaels actions.

* OrphanedEtymology: The show takes place on the distant planet of Farzar, which is galaxies away from Earth, according to [[WordOfGod word of god]]. It's never been specified that any Farzarians have ever been to Earth or are even aware of its existence. Despite this, there are plenty of instances of these.
** Characters regularly use the names "God" and "Jesus Christ" as expressions, despite the fact that the sole religion on Farzar is The Church of Ozner, wherein the only deity is a guy named "Ozner". Christianity does not exist on Farzar, so Ozner only knows where they heard this from.
** In "Welcome to Farzar", Scootie watched "[[Creator/DisneyChannel Disney Channel]]", even though there was no [[Creator/WaltDisney Walt Disney]] for this channel to be named after.
** In "Robot Revolution", Scootie requested a "Pacific Islander" doctor to do his penile surgery even though he's not from Earth, so there is no Pacific Ocean to use as a frame of reference.
** In "Flammily Reunion", Renzo called Splammy "[[Series/SesameStreet Sesame Str]][[Franchise/StreetFighter eet]] Fighter", a portmanteau of two franchises that don't exist in his galaxy.
** In "Baz, Bangs, & Brains", Scootie told Renzo that he looked like a Korean scholgirl. Sorry, but what's a Korean? This is a non-Earth planet that doesn't harbor the continent of Asia, let alone any of its countries.
** In "The Great and Powerful Ozner", Renzo watched a commercial for a Mercedes-Benz car, somehow named after Mercédès Jellinek and Karl Benz, two people from a planet that Farzar knows nothing about.
** Later on in the same episode, the brand-named drink [=LaCroix=] is brought up, which derives its name from the Earth town of Lacrosse, Wisconsin.

* ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway: It's mostly set on the titular planet. Several TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson references are made to Earth culture for the sake of comedy but isn't not clear if the planet actually exists in the setting. The creators have teased the idea of a crossover with their other two shows, ''WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/ParadisePD'' which are set on Earth.

* MultiBoobage: It's common for alien women to have multiple sets of breasts though a rare gender flip where some male aliens like the Intellectoids have several man-boobs.

* PeoplePuppets: A very rare ''voluntary'' example; Flammy's former fiancee (and her twin brother), is so weak and feeble due to inbreeding that he pays a puppeteer to move him around on marionette strings. Said puppeteer is apparently a MarionetteMaster, as he can also help his employer fight, and extremely well at that, as seen when Renzo attacks them, resulting in a CurbStompBattle where Renzo can't even land a single hit!

A single Reaper Demon easily overruns the whole preserve and almost kills the whole cast until they figure out it's weak point.
