* In the episode "Mork's First Christmas," Mork is terrified by what he sees people doing: random gangs singing about beating up Creator/MontyHall and his family ("Deck the Halls"), a police state where a man in a red suit is "stationed" on every corner ringing a bell, and (the sickest) everyone putting little plastic babies on their lawn covered in straw. When Mindy tries calming him down by explaining "this is all a part of our Christmas holiday," he is immediately calm, saying, "Oh, well that explains it." The FridgeLogic kicks in when you think about all the different and certainly bizarre celebrations that he might have witnessed on Ork and other planets, which allows him to immediately equate these customs with local celebrations of some sort.
* Orkans age in reverse. Which means as the years pass Mork will at some point physically resemble a teenager (and younger). This has some potentially very {{Squick}}y implications for his relationship with Mindy.
** FridgeBrilliance: Not necessarily, because Mork has an age machine.
