Tropes

 * A Day in the Limelight:
 * I Miss Stella focuses more on Firgu.
 * Learning to Drive focuses more on Halley than Stella.
 * Older to Younger focuses on Dr. Smellyfoot, Leggard, and The Crazy One. However, unlike I Miss Stella and Learning to Drive, Stella doesn't appear at all, although Firgu makes a cameo in it.
 * Actor Allusion: Grey Griffin voices a baby (Orion) in this show. This isn't the.
 * Adorkable: Stan and Gary.
 * Alien Animals: The show has a lot of them, including Firgu.
 * Aliens Speaking English: Basically, everyone (except the alien animals) in the show speaks English despite not knowing about Earth. Lance Aston even pointed that out one time.
 * All Animals Are Dogs: Felix's sister, Frankie, tends to act like an aggressive dog who chews on stuff and randomly barks, growls and/or bites other children rather than an ordinary child. Felix even once said that whenever he and Frankie go outside, he would put a leash onto her so she won't attack other people.
 * All-Loving Hero: Stella qualifies as this.
 * All Just A Dream: At the end of Time Has Come, it was revealed that the apocalypse that happened in that episode was nothing more than part of Stella's dream.
 * Bad Future: Stella vs. Future Stella was about Stella confronting her dystopian future self who plans on taking over the world.
 * Badass Adorable: Stella became this in Stella's dream in Time Has Come.
 * Berserk Button: Dr. Armadeus Smellyfoot will get ticked if you call him by his last name.
 * Big Brother Bully: Gender-inverted by Halley, who picks on Stella.
 * Black Bead Eyes: The Sodias (like Stella) has these, along with some alien animals (like Firgu).
 * Bland-Name Product: TBD
 * Butt-Monkey: Due to his inventions constantly backfiring, Dr. Smellyfoot would count as one.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Delilah is this at times.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Felix, Dixie and occasionally Dr. Smellyfoot.
 * Emo: Felix.
 * Expy: Fans thought of Halley as an expy of Lori Loud from The Loud House due to their similar attitude.
 * Fish People: The Fishpeople in Fishpeople.
 * "Freaky Friday" Flip: This happens in The Big-oo Switcheroo, when Dr. Smellyfoot's invention, which was originally made to switch minds of certain rodents, malfunctions and causes various characters to switch bodies, with the subjects being Stella, Firgu, Halley, Orion, Felix, The Che-Star Duo, Hedgy, The Crazy One, and even... Dr. Smellyfoot himself.
 * Friend to All Living Things: Stella.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: The series has these moments throughout the show. Examples included:
 * The Insult is pretty much a given example since it's an episode about profanity. However, even though it is censored with random sounds for obvious reasons, it can be easy to tell what exactly Delilah is saying by the sounds that play. For example, a dog barking would mean that she said "bitch."
 * Girlish Pigtails: Stella had these.
 * Gross-Up Close-Up: TBD
 * Heterosexual Life-Partners: Chester and Stan.
 * Humanoid Aliens: Everyone on Stella's planet (except the alien animals).
 * In-Series Nickname: Halley usually refers to Stella as "dork".
 * Intergenerational Friendship: Dr. Armadeus Smellyfoot (and Leggard) and Stella are shown to be good friends.
 * Jerkass:
 * Chester.
 * Taylor.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
 * Halley is known for not getting along with Stella. Despite her aggressiveness towards Stella, she does show care for her.
 * Dr. Smellyfoot is shown to sometimes get cranky, bossy, and impatient at times, especially at other scientists (sometimes including Leggard), though he still shows care for them.
 * While Felix may be seen as a completely grumpy person who shows no emotion other than anger and hatred, he does indeed have moments where he reveals his soft side.
 * Dixie is rather snarky and snobby towards others, but there has been moments where it shows that she does sympathize with people.
 * Likes Older Women: Chester is shown to grow crushes on teenage/young adult women (especially Halley), mainly done for laughs.
 * Nice Girl: Stella is this.
 * Precocious Crush: See Likes Older Women.
 * Punny Name: The names, Halley and Orion, are based on cosmic space objects, with the former being named after Halley's comet and the latter being named after the constellation of the same name.
 * Ship Tease: TBD
 * Shout-Out: Firgu becoming a ghost after the apocalypse (Stella's dream) in Time Has Come is a reference to The Legacy of Abigail.
 * In Stella and the Astronaut, while unintentionally making his new ship teleport to random places in space in an attempt to get Lance Aston home, while Dr. Smellyfoot and Leggard made it to Earth, they realize they're in the wrong place after encountering a tribe of Watermelon Stevens, who make a brief cameo.
 * In The Nova Brothers, while Pete was trying to get to Stella, he accidentally bumps into an alien man who pretty much resembles Johnny Bravo.
 * In The Bigger, The Better, Chester and Stan's were making graffiti around a random building. One of the graffiti was Mao Mao's head.
 * Sibling Rivalry: Stella and Halley.
 * Sick Episode: Too Sick and partially Clones, Just What I Need.

 * Thicker Than Water: Stella and Halley has a rather unhealthy relationship. However, whenever either one of them is feeling down, they do at least try to comfort each other.
 * Those Two Guys: Chester and Stan.
 * Two-Timer Date: In Stressed, Stella's friends, Dr. Smellyfoot and Halley have been asking Stella to do them favors at the same time, pressuring Stella to try to help all of them at the same time, though it doesn't turn out well.
 * Unfortunate Names: Dr. Armadeus Smellyfoot.
 * Vocal Dissonance: While the other kids such as Stella, Chester and Stan, Gary, etc. tend to have voices that would sound kid-like, Felix's voice sounds rather deep.
 * You Mean "Xmas": The characters in TCAoS celebrate holidays that have rather different names, but are similar to holidays on Earth. For example:
 * Creesowl Day is shown to be very similar to Halloween.
 * Time of the Blessed is shown to be very similar to Christmas.
 * Sympathy Day has shown to be similar to Valentine's Day.
 * Sympathy Day has shown to be similar to Valentine's Day.

YMMV

 * Foe Yay Shipping: A bunch of fans of this show ship Stella with Chester and/or Stan.
 * Friendly Fandoms:
 * Fans of The Powerpuff Girls have shown to adore TCAoS due to its cuteness. It helps that its creator formerly worked on it and that a lead character in both shows (Bubbles and Stella) is voiced by Tara Strong.
 * Same goes for fans of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Wander Over Yonder, and Eric and Claire, since they are also created by Craig, which Amy worked for.

 * Fans of this and Ferryman seem to have a healthy relationship with each other.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: People in Japan and South Korea have shown to love TCAoS, due to its cuteness.
 * Girl-Show Ghetto: TCAoS managed to avoid it mainly due to the plotlines and occasional humor, considering the fact that there are plenty of male fans of this show.
 * Ho Yay Shipping:
 * Fans ship Stella and Delilah with each other.
 * Some people ship Dr. Smellyfoot and Leggard with each other.
 * Incest Yay Shipping: A few fans ship Stella/Halley... yes, that ship exists. Although, it is controversial due to the fact that Halley is 17 and Stella is 8-9 and for being incest.
 * Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Stella herself, as she gets shipped with various characters.
 * Memetic Mutation: TBD
 * Memetic Psychopath: In October 2019, people started to make memes where Stella, who is a rather friendly character, tortures people for fun.
 * Ron the Death Eater:

 * Stella, especially by the meme community, is often portrayed in fanfiction as a psychopathic serial killer.
 * Ship-to-Ship Combat: Shipping fans have argued whether which couple for Stella is better: Stella/Gary, Stella/Felix, Stella/Brian and even... Stella/Chester and/or Stan.
 * Tastes Like Diabetes: The show is probably one of the cutest Cartoon Network originals ever made, mainly due to the characters' design.

WMG
These are fan theories for The Cosmic Adventures of Stella.
 * Stella's planet was actually once Earth and centuries after an apocalyptic event, Stella's species from a different planet began invading it along with other creatures.
 * However, this has been debunked since the show featured Earth in Stella and the Astronaut, therefore they are different planets, given the fact that this was made up prior to the episode's premiere.

Funny

 * Any moment with The Crazy One, as he is considered one of the funniest recurring characters in the show.

Nightmare Fuel

 * The Gigaworm's appearance might frighten some really young viewers.
