All Psychology Is Freudian: Earthling activity is dominated by the Beast, the Niggler, and the Ego. This was later replaced with a revised version that details two entities that control the mind, the Guesser and the Ponderer. |

Once an Episode: Three segments: "Tips for Tourists," "Strategic Advice," and "Scientific Advice." A more recent segment that joined the series after it's 2022 revival is "Orbital Solutions," which appears to be a jab at how more recent videos will sponsor bigger companies. |

Ancient Astronauts: Information Smugglers try to give the Egyptians the value of Pi in exchange for the recipe for beer. Too bad they've already used their great mathematical wealth to build the pyramids. The smugglers try their luck again with the Babylonians, to no avail. After returning to Egypt, they meet Euclid and promptly give up, never to return again. |

Shout-Out |

comment |
Shout-Out: The show's Running Gag: "Except for... the microbes." Zogg mentions a "popular fictional work about an underage girl having a relationship with a vampire six times her age" when explaining the Vampires Are Sex Gods trope. An incident involving Xenu and Cthulhu are used to explain the Prisoner's Dilemma. My Little Pony is used as an example when explaining online groups. |

Spaceship Slingshot Stunt. The In-Universe explanation as to why it took 7 solar cycles for the series to be Un-Canceled? Zogg wanted to experiment with this trope near a black hole, but his calculations fail to account that time moves slower in black holes, forcing him to fight this error for 7 solar cycles from our POV. |
