History Series / DansUneGalaxiePresDeChezVous

* HumansAreBastards: And how. The crew usually refer to the 4 billion humans left on Earth as morons, and when encountering alien life forms who know about Earth, their reaction is usually unpleasant. In the movies, aliens went so far as to vomit when hearing the word "Earthling". A prophet the crew visited claimed that they would eventually find a habitable planet, but that a terrible creature would guard it. The terrible creature turned out to be a second human crew, who, unlike the original team, had no problem with killing the tribes that were already inhabiting the "promised" planet.

* PetTheDog: Brad eventually feels some genuine remorse for his action in the final two episodes, although he [[KarmaHoudini never really makes up for the mountains of crap]] he caused up to that point.

* WhatTheHellTownsfolk: When the humans in Limbo tries to kill the crew for taking so long in the second movie the captain replies that it's not like they stopped in every Bed'n Breakfast and how ungrateful they are that they risked their life. The spirits calm themselves but [[spoiler: reveals the scientists underestimated the climate changes and two billions already died and more will if they don't find a solution]].

* ShaggyDogStory: The second movie. [[spoiler: The crew discovers that they have reach the end of the universe and that there is no habitable planets for the humans, yet in their discoveries, they found a time rift who leads to a past version of Earth (in 2007). Charles Patenaude sends a message to the earthlings only for it to become an Internet Meme. So not only they failed to find a planet for the humans but the process will repeat itself in an other timeline.]]

* BigBookOfWar: From the first movie, Brad's personal items include "Betrayal for Dummies."
* BigEater: Bob

* BloodBrothers: Childhood best friends Bob and Flavien who have indeed made a pact.

* TokenMinority: Bob.

** The lack of proper replacement parts means that every time android Serge explodes, he's rebuilt a bit more cheaply by Petrolia.

* AwfulTruth: Poor Flavien really shouldn't have learned about his true father...

* MindScrew: In-universe case with the interstellar war board game called "CheckMars [[note]](Échec et Mars)[[/note]]". It is so complex that [[SmartPeoplePlayChess only smart people]] like Brad and Patenaude can play it. Even then, their match eventually ends up in a draw.

* MindScrew: In-universe case with the interstellar war board game called "Check Mars (Échec et Mars)". It is so complex that [[OnlySmartPeopleMayPass only smart people]] like Brad and Patenaude can play it. Even then, their match eventually ends up in a draw.
-->'''Bob:''' "It's really complicated!" *proceeds to pass out*

* MushroomSamba: [[spoiler: In one episode, Flavien accidentally eat samples recovered from a planet and begin to hallucinate horrific monsters. We never see them, but the description implies they are rather horrific to look at. The real monster is a mouse (See KillerRabbit above).]]

* TheCastShowoff: Being a robot with a remote control and a large variety of functions to select from, Serge's actor uses a different voice and personality for each one of them.

* GuiltByAssociation: Serge sometimes gets blamed for being in cahoots with other crew members, when they do big mistakes. This gets hilariously reversed when he, Bob and Flavien are called out by Captain Patenaude.

* AwfulTruth: Poor Flavien ''really'' shouldn't have learned about his true father...

* {{Flanderization}}: In first season, Bob is highly skilled for his job and not so much dumber than Flavien or Falbo. He’s so dumbed down after the first season than he’s rewritten as [[TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket absolutely incompetent]] when he’s not working with Flavien.

* SortingAlgorithmOfMortality: Invoked in-universe when the crew is faced with a peril that forces them to send "the most expendable member of the crew" to fulfill a SuicideMission. Mission control prepared a sorting order of usefulness to the mission in order to know who is the least necessary onboard to the continued progress of the mission, decided upon their role in the ship. Bob, Mirabella and Brad score top three as the ship's pilot, doctor and scientist respectively, making them critical to the mission. Captain Patenaude is shocked to find that he is number 5, and Valence enraged by ranking number 6 (she makes a list of emotions to feel later, because the situation was inconvenient). Flavien ranks dead and tries to prove he is not useless during the rest of the episode.

* '''Captain Charles Patenaude:''' Played by Guy Jodoin. [[TheCaptain The Captain]] and often [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Man]]. {{Malaproper}} with a love of speeches verging on {{Metaphorgotten}}.
* '''Psychologist Valence Leclerc:''' Played by Isabelle Brossard in season one, and by Sylvie Moreau from season 2 onwards. [[TeamMom Team Mom]] and [[LoveInterests Love interest]] to the captain. She had a tendency to speak in heavy psychobabble before summing up her thoughts with "S/he's gone completely bonkers".

* '''Flavien Bouchard''': Played by Claude Legault. [[TheLancer The Lancer]] and [[TheAce The Ace]] radar operator. Lacked self-esteem in the first few episodes, but soon learned to stand up to anyone who isn't the captain (and even then...). Was revealed to be [[HalfHumanHybrid half-alien]] in one of the final episodes; unlocking its potential effectively gave him heightened senses and made him immortal. Treaded dangerously in Mary Sue waters due to being played by one of the show's head writers.

* '''Pétrolia Parenteau Stanislavski''': Played by Mélanie Maynard. [[{{TeenGenius}} Teen Girl Genius]] who was able to build a fully sentient android with lawnmower parts. [[LoveInterests Love interest]] to both Bob and Flavien. Introduced in season 2.

* [[AGodAmI A Devil Am I]]: [[spoiler:Brad]] (temporarily) become TheDevil.
--> '''The Devil:''' "They call me Satan, the devil, Baalzeebul, but my real name... IS STEVE!"

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking :

** Serge is oftenly demolished and rebuilded.

* DespairEventHorizon: This ends up happening in the second film when [[spoiler:The cast ends up in Limbo where they gets news that they have much less time than previously thought]]. They end up [[spoiler:fufilling the Creamy leader's BatmanGambit of making them destroy a civilization of harmless aliens or, as it actually happened, make them evacuate their own planet so he can use the artifacts inside]].
* DisabilitySuperpower : TooDumbToLive Bob is immune to mental attacks because his brain is so small it can hide into the back of his head.
* DownerEnding: The TV series ending and The second film's. See ShaggyDogStory below.

* {{Flanderization}}: In first season, Bob is highly skilled for his job and not so much dumber than Flavien or Falbo. He’s so dumbered down after the first season than he’s rewritten as [[TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket absolutely incompetent]] when he’s not working with Flavien.
* FictionalVideoGame: [[ShmuckBait "Try to save the king if you can"]]
** To clarify, it's a virtual reality game that seems to be a parody of VideoGame/{{KingsQuest}}, right down to the TrialAndErrorGameplay (it took Flavien 34 tries to get past the first puzzle (get past a acid-urinating skunk), MoonLogicPuzzle (the solution was to piss on said skunk) and NintendoHard (the last "puzzle" is to defeat [[BigBad Olaf]] [[FinalBoss the warrior]] and apparently, no one has ever beaten him before). The goal of the game is to go through 10 challenges to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin save the king]]. The only difference is that injuries in the game [[YourMindMakesItReal becomes real]]. Really, this game that appears in a single episode could have it's own trope list.
*** AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler: Captain's trademark "No Brad" karate chop seems to work on Olaf too. But only for a moment.]]

*** HaveANiceDeath: When the last player gives up, Olaf [[OffWithHisHead decapitates the king.]]

** Early in the series, Bob makes a mention of playing [[VideoGameLongRunners Mario 39.]] According to him, [[SuperMario64 it's an old one.]]

-->'''The Devil:''' "I am Satan! Lucifer!! Belzebub!! The demon!!! But my real name is... [[SomeCallMeTim Steve.]]"

* LargeHam: Patenaude, especially considering his [[Creator/{{WilliamShatner}} "template"]].

* LukeIAmYourFather: Flavien is sometimes obsessed by his [[DisappearedDad unknown father]] who’s finally an [[AlienOftheWeek alien of the week]] in season 4.

* MushroomSamba: [[spoiler: In one episode, Flavien accidentally eat samples recovered from a planet and begin to hallucinate horrific monsters. We never see them, but the description implies they are rather horrific to look at. The real monster is a mouse (See KillerRabbit below).]]

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bob's favorite food is by far [[http://whatsdifferentincanada.tumblr.com/post/85239576334/pogo-sticks Pogo brand corn dogs]], a typical canadian grocery store offering.
* TheDevilIsALoser: He's evil. He has no friends, no familly, no girlfriend and think he sucks. He just want to retire. All he need is a [[DealwithTheDevil successor]].
* TheyKilledKenny: Serge is killed often in the movies and this is PlayedForLaughs.

* UsedFuture: The ship look like its made out of recycled junk... and probably IS! As of the second movie, it is also possible that its simply getting old. Considering all the damage it took during the course of the show, it makes sense.

-->It's garanteed to last three years. And after three years? It's garanteed to break!

* [[spoiler:WriteBackToTheFuture: Failed epicly in the second movie via Youtube.]]
* ZeroToHero : At his first appeareance, Flavien is even dumber than Bob and is listed as the less important man on the ship in importance AND utility. At the end of the series and in the movies, he’s an heroic and reasonable Second officer.
** When he saves the Captain in the first season finale, he’s already becoming into an underconfident [[NiceGuy good guy]] and pomising crewman.

** His nearly [[SuperSenses super senses]] are explained in season 4 by his newly discovered [[HalfHumanHybrid half-alien nature]] and come with [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands a then unknown superior physical strength]].

* SortingAlgorithmOfMortality: Invoked in-universe when the crew is faced with a peril that forces them to send "the most expendable member of the crew" to fulfill a SuicideMission. Mission control prepared a sorting order of usefulness to the mission in order to know who is the least necessary onboard to the continued progress of the mission, decided upon their role in the ship. Bob, Brad and Mirabella score top three as the ship's pilot, engineer and doctor respectively, making them critical to the mission. Captain Patenaude is shocked to find that he is considered ''most expendable and ranked dead last.''

Captain Patenaude is shocked to find that he is considered ''most expendable and ranked dead last.''

* FailOSuckyName: As the crew travels the galaxy, they start running out of names for planets, ending up with names like "Moisturizing face cream relieves dry skin".
** In the second movie, the aforementioned planet's inhabitants give names to the crew. They each end up with {{Awesome McCoolname}}s (Such as "Immutable mountain" for Bob, "Sparkling fox" for Brad and "Magestic eagle" for Flavien)... Except for the Captain, who is given the name [[GenderBlenderName Sonia Champoux]], much to the amusement of his crew.

*** Brad can also be seen as an expy of [[RedDwarf Arnold J. Rimmer]], though this one is ''proud'' of his opportunistic cowardice.
