Line 54:
*The aliens' naive nature causing others in their lives to make wild misapprehensions about the nature of their abnormalities — their [[landlady]]'s frequent unease at what she perceives to be hints that one or more of the family are in an [[incestuous]] relationship; repeated speculation among his colleagues that Dick is a foreign [[immigrant]] or a [[Drug addiction|drug abuser]], or by Tommy's teachers that he is a victim of [[child abuse]]; an episode where Sally's masculine behavior fools a [[gay]] man into believing she is a [[transsexual]], etc.
*The aliens misusing Earth appliances or household items (a form of [[prop comedy]]), a recurring gag being Harry taking upon himself the task of testing whether devices or substances are dangerous by using them to harm himself (testing whether [[bleach]] is [[toxic]] by ingesting it, pressing a hot [[iron]] against his chest, etc.).
*The aliens have a re-occuring fear, brought up by screaming and huddling, of gelatin dessert, having dealt with a carnivorous alien beast that looks like it in the past.
