As Robin's springboard on his brilliant career and zoom to his stardom, he showed the audience his simply loving silly slapstick humor, his manic improvisational comedic talent and give him specific gasps where he can perform freely while his partner Pam Dawber, had to bite her lip to avoid laughing and ruin the filming.The Mork and Mindy story about Mork (played by Robin Williams), an alien came to Earth from planet Ork riding a giant egg-shaped spacecraft, bumbling alien hatched, sent for the mission: investigate the Earth, study the inhabitants, observe the bizarre customes and cultures of the Earthlings, study the human emotions since the Orkans (Ork species) don't have any and report all of them to the Ork leader and Orkan supervisor, Orson.

Mindy's father, Fred, blame her living with a man so she told about Mork, and the story lines adventures started out on Morks attempts to understand human behavior, feel the emotions, adjust to Earth life and sums up humorously the social norms on Earth. Remarkable Mork's comic on the show were: he innocently wears clothes backwards (buttons at the back), sit on the chair upside down (Orkons sit on their head), handshakes in different style (hands contact with middle and ring fingers separated) and do many things which are opposite to the Earthlings.
