Elliott from Earth is a British animated sci-fi adventure series, brought to you by much of the same creative team from The Amazing World of Gumball. It debuted on Cartoon Network (UK) on March 6, 2021 with a four-part series premiere, and received its US debut on March 29 of the same year.Young Elliott has spent his life constantly on the move with his mother Frankie, a geologist who has been fruitlessly trying to convince her superiors a mysterious rock she found years ago is of extraterrestrial origin. One day, the pair unwittingly expose the rock to microwave radiation, activating its powers and summoning them on a one-way vessel to the Centrium, a gigantic Space Station host to all walks of life from across the galaxy.There, Elliott and Frankie befriend a talking stegosaurus called Mo, the Last of His Kind and only other creature there to have lived on Earth, and thus the trio begins their new life on the Centrium, settling into their strange new surroundings and getting to know its inhabitants, all the while seeking answers on who brought them there and why. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Elliott from Earth / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: Everywhere. From talking electric frogs, to aliens who age backwards and sneeze out floating sparkling dust, to a classmate who is only visible in low light, to a pet that gets larger the more negative comments it hears. | |

Blind Without 'Em: Mo is revealed to have bad vision early on, requiring him to wear Frankie's glasses. Downplayed a bit, as even then he could see shapes, but were often blurry. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Elliott from Earth / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Is both this and Lighter and Softer than The Amazing World of Gumball. While it mostly lacks its spiritual predecessor's propensity for Black Comedy, Nightmare Faces, and Body Horror, and has an overall less cynical and more adventurous tone, it also never shies away from the fact the majority of the aliens on the Centrium are the Sole Survivors of destroyed planets, and Elliott's Friendless Background (along with other aspects of the show's tone and plot) is Played for Drama to a much greater extent than Anais' ever was. | |

Unexpectedly Dark Episode | |
| Elliott from Earth / int_286141a2 | comment |
Unexpectedly Dark Episode: Some of the more plot-focused episodes have a much more serious and cinematic feel to them without as much focus on comedy or slice-of-life elements, though the exact extent varies. Especially applies to the season finale with its more angsty premise, more dramatic and dangerous events throughout, and its jarringly dark cliffhanger ending. | |

| Elliott from Earth / int_424feb18 | comment |
That Was Not a Dream: The first episode after the four-part opener, "Idiosyncratic Induction", opens with Elliott seemingly waking up back in he and his mom's RV, thinking that he and Frankie going to space was All Just a Dream, and telling Frankie about it. Frankie then says she remembers the same experience, except she hadn't gotten an ounce of sleep last night. Elliott looks outside and is ecstatic to realize the dream was real after all. | |

Humans Through Alien Eyes: Elliott and Frankie are not just the only humans on the Centrium, but also came all the way from "the other side of the universe", so their species is completely new to the Centrium's inhabitants. In such a diverse setting, though, they're mostly considered just another type of alien. | |

Glass Smack and Slide: Discussed in "Memory Mayhem". The Head Aliens find "Earth" to be a funny name for a planet because it rhymes with "glerth". What's glerth? It's the common word for the imprint you leave after doing this trope, which Frankie naturally ends up doing a few times later in the episode. | |

Wham Episode: "Diminishing Discourse" has Mo find out that he's the Last of His Kind, but that's not the big twist; that would be Frankie rediscovering the space rock, accidentally reactivating it and getting blasted across the universe again with Mo but without Elliott, leaving him all alone on the Centrium. On top of that, during the activation Mo also learns that he might not actually be from Earth after all—right after telling Elliott and Frankie that being with other earthlings means to him that he's not truly the last of his kind. | |

Multiple Head Case | |
| Elliott from Earth / int_8f842f45 | comment |
Multiple Head Case: Some of the aliens on the Centrium are species with this particular trait. Kane and Brett are a two-headed alien, with the incoherently speaking compassionate Brett at the top, and the other coherently speaking no-nonsense Kane on the chest. They also have three legs, with one being conjoined at the middle. Other maintenance aliens are designed similarly. Elliott and Frankie live next door to Mrs. Argolis, a three-headed alien woman whose heads tend to argue and make comments to one another. | |

Overly Long Gag: During the climax of "Problematic Prophecies", Elliott and Mo try to hash out how to get to the top of a large mall to where Nara is in time before she gets crushed by a falling clock. There are no less than ten different unsuccessful scenarios (from swimming up pipes, to floating up with balloons Up-style, to floating up in a giant bubble (twice)) that they mull over before they discover they can just instantly teleport to the floor she is on just by selecting her floor on the mall's directory. | |

Meet Cute | |
| Elliott from Earth / int_a82ff02f | comment |
Meet Cute: Subverted. After seeing a movie leads them to think that romance is a necessity, Elliott tries to engineer one for both him and Mo in "Companion Confusion" using tropes he'd seen in media. None of it works like expected when they just don't feel it in any of their attempts, and soon reality ensues enough for them to realize they shouldn't take the movies so seriously in the first place. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Elliott from Earth / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: At a store where items from memories can be turned into reality, Elliott racks up an enormous bill. The store owner could clearly recall one other time he saw a sum of money that large, so Elliott has him recreate that much money from the memory. | |

Seers: Nara is one, but she considers her power to be boring and dull since nothing surprises her in the least. When she lends it to Elliott and Mo in exchange for the latter's flexibility, they quickly find out that she was right. Meanwhile, Nara is ecstatic about living in the moment, which makes her blissfully oblivious to hazards. | |

Couch Gag: At the end of every intro, there is a huge crowd of aliens that all say, "We're not from Earth," and Elliott, Frankie, and Mo are in the crowd where Elliott says: "Uh... we are," and the aliens look at them approvingly. However, the position where the trio is in the crowd changes every episode. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Elliott from Earth / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When the Hive Director informs Elliott on the subjects one can learn through song one room she shows him is dedicated to "Splatology" which only shows a room with multicolored splats of paint staining the walls. This could be a reference to the Splatoon video game series. When trying to converse with Dugg in "Parallel Paradox" Elliott makes the same exact facial expression that Gumball would in his many awkward moments with the Hot Dog Guy in the Gumball episode "The Awkwardness". | |

Taken for Granite: The old woman whom Elliott, Frankie, and Mo briefly attempt to bunk with in "Wednesday" has the ability to turn living beings into ice statues with Eye Beams, which she then plans to eat. This fate nearly befalls Elliott and Frankie, but Mo ends up saving them and everyone else after he ends up accidentally using the helmet off one of the statues to to reflect her eye beams back onto her while stumbling around with his eyes shut (due to malapropering "look, but don't touch" into "touch, but don't look"), and she decides that she likes the group's Kretzel's better than frozen people. | |

Curse of Babel: "Diminishing Discourse" has a breakdown in the translation provided by the babbledrogs, caused by the rock that brought Elliott and Frankie to the Centrium using the babbledrogs to charge itself; everyone reverts to their native languages and are unable to understand each other, grinding everything to a halt. | |

Literal-Minded: Mo is occasionally guilty of this along with confusing a few simple tasks. This can be played for humor or turn out to be successful depending on the situation; for example, "throwing away" a stick that was meant for a game of fetch into the trash, or thinking a "gym class" is ran by someone named "Jim" which Elliott corrects him going for what that tends to mean back on Earth...only for them both to learn in space this particular gym class was actually a cooking education class ran by an alien named Gymnasium called "Gym" for short. | |
