| The Head / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: In the episode where Jim sells his soul to the Devil, Old Scratch's human form looks a bit like Conan O'Brien. | |

Evil Sounds Deep | |
| The Head / int_16364a29 | comment |
Evil Sounds Deep: The normally screechy Gork affects a deep psuedo-British hypnotic baritone when he is confident and sure of himself (or if he's feeling snarky).note The implication is that the screechy voice is him speaking his native language, which is translated for our benefit, while the deep voice is a genuine effort to converse in English His Evil Overlord boss also has deep, gravelly voice. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| The Head / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: 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. | |

Mad Scientist | |
| The Head / int_3517000d | comment |
Mad Scientist: Not how the trope usually plays out, as he's a Punch-Clock Villain rather than a Diabolical Mastermind, but Dr. Elliot starts out as a Cloud Cuckoolander and just gets worse from there, to the point that his mooks eventually mutiny against him. | |

Squashed Flat | |
| The Head / int_4eb5691c | comment |
Squashed Flat: In one episode on a ranch (a presumable ranch hand gets squashed flat into the ground by Jim's head after provoking him with a gun). Not that anyone seemed to care because he was an asshole victim and (the witnesses promptly turned his death site into a tourist attraction ironically enough). | |

Hypocritical Humor: There's an early episode that has Ray going to the Statue of Liberty where a tour guide's talking about how great diversity is. Then immediately Roy gets recognized as an alien and spends the whole next episode being chased by a literal torch-wielding mob of tourists trying to kill him. | |

I Always Wanted to Say That: "Take me to your leader." It's one of the first things Roy says to Jim in the first episode, and Roy immediately follows up by laughing and admitting, "You don't know how long I've been waiting to say that!" | |
