Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Tripping the Rift / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Though Chode often treats Six like a sex object and regularly demeans her, he genuinely cares for her, enough to nearly sacrifice his life to save her more than once. In turn, she's fiercely loyal, though constantly exasperated with him. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Tripping the Rift / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Ignoring all the mentions and caricatures of popular, of-the-time personalities, the show wears a couple of these on its sleeve. Darph Bobo's voice is very much influenced by Ed Wynn. Adam is a reference to William Shatner and his performance as Captain Kirk, even down to sharing the last name as Shatner himself. A version of Kirk later appears in "Chode and Bobo's High School Reunion" voiced by Jess Harnell, doing a more on-point vocal imitation. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Tripping the Rift / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The general setting is that known space is politically divided between two superpowers run by bloodthirsty power-mad tyrants: the Confederation (led by Humans, and a parody of the Federation from Star Trek) and the Dark Clown Empire (a parody of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars). The Dark Clown Empire is a totalitarian, tyrannical police state, led by the evil Darph Bobo. In contrast, the Confederation is technically a democratic society, but in practice, is dominated by mega-corporations and bloated bureaucracies. Ultimately, both superpowers end up exploiting and restricting their inhabitants, albeit in different ways. The value placed on life is so commercialized in the Confederation that clearly sapient robots and androids are reduced to essentially slave status. The Dark Clown Empire practices actual slavery, and while the Confederation does not, most of its inhabitants (including the Human ones) are openly described as living in wage slavery. The only place that anyone can truly be free is in the border region between the two superpowers, which is directly controlled by neither. This borderland is known as "the Rift", hence those outlaws (like the main characters) on the fringes of society who cling to their freedom by moving back and forth around the Confederation/Dark Clown Empire border to evade detection are said to be "Tripping the Rift". | |

God and Satan Are Both Jerks: To Chode at least. They don't want him in Heaven or Hell, so they each try to get him to go to the opposite side. To be fair, it's Chode we are talking about. | |

Prince and Pauper | |
| Tripping the Rift / int_80595ee2 | comment |
Prince and Pauper: "Nature vs. Nurture" sees Chode run into his long-lost twin brother, who was sold for booze money as a baby, and is now the crown prince of a planet. Played with in that the real reason the prince wants to pull the switch is because under his leadership, the planet is going bankrupt, and he's trying to get the fuck outta dodge. | |
