My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Mork is chosen as Earth observer because his constant displays of humor make him out of place on Ork. This alienness only gets worse (and spreads to other areas) as Mork spends more time on Earth.
Nice Guy: Mork is mostly pacifistic, good with kids, and humorous.
Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Mindy spends a lot of time explaining things to Mork and making sure his strangeness doesn't get him in trouble or reveal his alien origins.
Daddy's Girl: Mindy and Mr. McConnell are very close. Somewhat justified in that Mindy's mother died when she was little, so her father was the one who raised her.
First Girl Wins: Mork dated other girls, but Mindy ended up becoming his wife.
