* AdvertOverloadedFuture: In "Chapter IV: Village of the Spammed", Proton drives down a highway in Southern California and is hit by advertising from airships, flying robots, holograms projected [[UpToEleven over the entire hemisphere]], and a geostationary satellite needle-beaming a psycho-resonant add for ''[[Series/BigBrother Big Brother: Insomniac]]'' right into his skull. Eventually the competing advertisements are pushed aside for a [[DoNotAdjustYourSet single advertisement]] for the BORG {{Megacorp}}oration.

This is causing tension between the two worlds because female Martians are angry at the [[ForeignFanservice competition]] while male humans believe thanks to unimaginative sci-fi movies that "aliens had nothing better to do than conquer planets and impregnate their women with carnivorous offspring." As a result Martian investigator [=TuMok=] has to team up with Captain Proton to investigate when a Film/RobotMonster starts abducting women for real.

* ThreeLawsCompliant: Captain Proton is threatened by a KillerRobot, who explains that it is exempt from the Three Laws under a subsection of the Robot Patriot Act. Earlier he meets a SexBot, created to be the ideal male fantasy. "No Servus droid may harm the male ego or, through omission of action, allow that ego to be harmed." Later the Sayer of the Laws (a holographic Issac Asimov) is briefing a newly constructed batch of robots on the Three Laws. When the robots [[SecondLawMyAss start debating them]], he summarizes the Three Laws as, "Do as we say, not as we do!"

* SpaceClothes: Parodied with the addition of ZeeRust.
-->Clearly a member of the Alpha Class, he was dressed in the style of a gentleman of the twenty-first century. The flared shoulder-yoke that required all doorways to be two yards wide. A high fan-like collar that made his head look like a lunar eclipse. An anti-radiation cloak hanging from the shoulders. Lucite sandals and a tunic that showed off his bony legs. His drooping black moustache flowed into a neatly-trimmed goatee. His head was shaven (Proton wondered why the Man of the Future had to be synonymous with baldness - you'd never find a starship captain without a full head of hair!) and surmounted by a skullcap bearing a circular antennae for one of the new-fangled 'mobile telephones'.
