* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: The SDC agents and mooks rarely if ever hit. When they does, however, it is played for drama.

* FantasticRacism: Very mild, as the SDC justify its actions through the potential threat the alien poses, which in some is true. But nobody really displays disgust or contempt towards them.

* TheLoad: Sandborn is abysmally dumb and inefficient. He only got his job as a SDC agent because he's Number9's nephew.

''Linus & Boom'' is a French-Korean CGI animated show by Genao Productions. It aired on French in 2009 and was sold abroad under the title ''My Giant Friend''.

Set in 2042, it tells the story of a group of middle schoolers who help aliens escape the SDC (Space Development Center). The SDC captures and experiment upon aliens who crash on Earth in order to increase its power. Most of the people are unaware of its bad deeds. The series begins when Boom, a big red alien crashes in [[TheHero Linus]]'garden. After some shenaningans, Boom decides to stay in Linus' home, under a disguise. With the help of [[{{Mentor}} Dr. K.]] and under the guise of an astronomy club, Linus and [[FiveManBand his friends]] save various aliens from the SDC, notably its most feared agents, [[DarkActionGirl Chase]] and [[TheLoad Sandborn]]. Things gets more complicated when Jenny, the girl Linus is in love with, develops a crush on Boom.

The show tends to be [[OnceAnEpisode formulaic]] but it has quite a charm, interesting aliens and endearing characters. The 1st season had 52 episode which ended with a sequel hook, but no news of a second season have transpired.

* AmbiguouslyAsian: Chase looks suspiciously Asian when she gets rejuvenated in one episode.
* AudienceSurrogate: Iris displays shades of this.
* BigBad: Number9, the head of the SDC.
