Fantastic Fauna Counterpart: Most creatures of the strange planet are this, resembling differently colored Earth animals with an extra eye. Cats ("vibrating creatures") are an exception, looking exactly like normal cats.

Father Neptune: A being fitting this trope appears in the fourth episode, piloting a ship called the Chancy. They talk like an experienced sea captain, singing sea shanties and expressing a love of the sea even during the roughest of storms.

Ambiguous Gender: Though many beings wear gendered clothing, all beings use they/them pronouns. It's not known if the beings have No Biological Sex, or just no concept of gender.

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp"
 Strange Planet (2023) / int_5ac34441
comment
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": The animals of the strange planet (referred to as "creatures"), are all very similar to Earth animals, ranging from slightly different to identical, but they’re all referred to with different names. Dogs are moral creatures, cats are vibrating creatures, turtles are slow domes, hedgehogs are ouch orbs, goats are trash beards, skunks are butt bombers, horses are hard footed run monsters, and raccoons are greyscale finger bandits.

comment
Nameless Narrative: None of the beings are given names, and the credits identify them by their roles (Grouprollmachine Operator, Kid, etc.) One being even has an official identification card that doesn’t list a name. The closest we get to named characters are the members of the Four Sensations, who use stage names.

Lighter and Softer
 Strange Planet (2023) / int_ce6555f0
comment
Lighter and Softer: While it is an adaptation of Nathan W. Pyle's comic strip, the series itself is developed by Dan Harmon, creator of very meta and twisted sitcoms like Community, Rick and Morty, HarmonQuest and Krapopolis. Compared to his other works, this is a lot more gentle, genial, and light-hearted.

Exposed Extraterrestrials: Downplayed. Some of the alien beings wear clothing, but it never covers their crotch areas, making it essentially an optional fashion statement.

Plane Awful Flight: Mostly averted through the efforts of the comfort supervisors on the flying machines in episode one, until the climax when the plane undergoes turbulence and everyone’s emotions boil over.

Oh, My Gods!: Various beings use phrases like "oh Lorb" or "oh my Lorb", and one distressed being says "Oh, cruel Rorb!" in episode 2. It's later revealed that Lorb and Rorb are the names of the planet’s two moons.
