TheHead provides tropes of:

* AnimationBump: The first three and a half minutes of the first episode looks crude compared to the rest of the series.
* BondCreatures: Roy is able to communicate with Jim when they're far apart.
* TheCameo: In the first episode, [[BeavisAndButthead Butthead]] gives the federal agents a tape recording of a eye witness news report involving Roy's attack from earlier in the episode, then he gets kicked out.
* {{Expy}}: Dr. Axel looks pretty much like a middle-aged [[BeavisAndButthead Beavis]].
* EyesAlwaysShut: Dr. Axel, Dr. Elliot, Ray and Ivan.
* LargeHam: Dr. Axel, Dr. Elliot and Ray.
* MadScientist: Dr. Elliot
* NoodlePeople: Chen.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Roy.
* PaperThinDisguise: Roy's idea of fitting in with humans was just him wearing shades. It worked well at first, until he took them off.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Madelyne and Dr. Axel aside, Jim's friends are a alien, a guy with a propellor blade stuck in his face, a guy with a fishbowl stuck in his mouth, a guy with a extra mouth on his stomach, a guy with [[NoodlePeople long arms and legs]], a lady with a large nose and a lady with shiny hair [[spoiler:(and a tail)]].
* TookALevelInBadass: At the start of the series, Jim didn't have any confidence in himself. But with Roy's help, he was able to gain his confidence, make friends, get a girlfriend and save the world.
* UnreliableNarrator: In the first episode, a thug who was spared from the attack by Roy, tells his own story of the attack on the news, which depicts the thugs as innocent and Jim as the thug.
