10	!! Tropes seen in ''Marvin Marvin'':
11
12	* AlienAmongUs: Marvin is from the planet Klooton (not [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Mars]]).
13	* AlienCatnip: Chocolate seems to act like this for Marvin since he's never had it before.
14	* AlienInvasion: Marvin was sent to Earth fleeing one. It's vital that Marvin remains hidden or else the Klurg might invade the Earth.
15	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: As expected.
16	* AmusingAlien: Naturally, Marvin is this.
17	* AnAesop: Delivered by Teri and appearing rather abruptly near the end of the pilot: Everyone's at least a little weird, and it's okay to be strange.
18	* AnimatedCreditsOpening: Showcasing the story behind Marvin's arrival on Earth and adoption by the Formans.
19	* BizarreAlienBiology:
20	** Marvin has five stomachs, though one is apparently used to emit a mating call. The gases in Marvin's stomach also allow him to float when he's really happy.
21	** Marvin apparently has the ability to superheat or supercool his finger.
22	** When Marvin gets a toothache in the third episode (aptly titled "Toothache"), the tooth has to be removed before it explodes.
23	** His ears (or the Klootonian equivalent) are in his butt.
24	** When we see his true form, he has four eyes, two of which are at the ends of antennas.
25	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Marvin, most definitely.
26	* CrazyCulturalComparison
27	* {{Crossover}}: The last episode of the series crossed over with ''Series/BigTimeRush''.
28	* DoubleDoubleTitle: ''Marvin Marvin''.
29	* EyesDoNotBelongThere: In his true Klootonian form, Marvin has an extra pair of eyes at the end of antennae.
30	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: While he needs his human disguise to hide from the Klurg, this seems to be the reason he maintains his disguise when alone with the Formans. At the very beginning of the pilot, he walks into the room in his true form and freaks them all out, prompting them to remind him to keep his disguise on.
31	* GeniusDitz: One episode features Marvin building a teleporter.
32	* HappilyAdopted: Marvin.
33	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Marvin's parents, who are presently fighting off an AlienInvasion of his home planet.
34	* HumanAlien: Marvin. Subverted in that his true form looks nothing like a human.
35	** HumanOutsideAlienInside: Marvin, although his human appearance seems to come from sort of [[AppliedPhlebotinum alien device]].
36	* {{Kidanova}}: In "Double Date", Henry mentioned that he had three girlfriends.
37	* NaiveNewcomer: Marvin.
38	* {{Pun}}: In the second episode Marvin asks a horse, "Are you neighing what I think you're neighing?"
39	** In the pilot, Liz asks Marvin to spin the spinner for a board game. He then literally spins around in circles.
40	* Really700YearsOld: It's revealed in the pilot that Marvin is actually 580 years old, despite his youthful appearance as a human teenager.
41	* ShoutOut: In ''Big Time Marvin'', Marvin inhales helium to use against the Klerg, resulting in him adopting a ''Fred'' voice (Lucas Cruikshank's previous character). Marvin even lampshades this reference saying (while still under the effects of helium) "Wow, can you imagine having to talk like that all the time?"
42	** There is also a clear reference to ''Series/{{Glee}}'' in the pilot.
43	*** The pilot also has a joke involving Teri dreaming of meeting the cast of Literature/{{Twilight}}. [[LateToTheParty In 2012.]]
44	* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Marvin.
45	* WeaksauceWeakness: The Klerg are severly allergic to helium.
