Destroy All Humans!



"''"Aaah! Little green spacemen!"

"I am not green!"''"

Destroy All Humans! is a Wide Open Sandbox action game released in 2005 by Pandemic Games.

Taking place in a satirical version of America in The Fifties, it follows a sarcastic, trigger-happy "grey" alien named Cryptosporidium-137 (or just "Crypto" for short). Crypto's species, the Furons, have been rendered sterile through centuries of nuclear warfare, and are dependent on cloning to reproduce. To keep their genetic code from becoming too corrupted, the Furons must steal DNA from human brainstems. Apparently, Furon sailors on furlough left some untainted genes in the human pool back when the species still had genitals. Unfortunately, it seems Crypto's predecessor, Cryptosporidium-136, has been captured by The Government. Crypto's mission is to harvest human brains, find out what happened to the last Crypto, and generally cause mayhem. Along the way, Crypto confronts paranoia, mad science, the military, a government conspiracy, and exploding cows.

It was followed up by a sequel taking place in an exaggerated version of The Sixties, and a third game taking places in The Seventies came out recently. Was pitched to FOX for a potential television show, but it was not to be.

Also notable for being pitched by Matt Harding. Yes, as in "Where the hell is".

Not to be confused with Kill All Humans.

Destroy All Humans! provides examples of:

"Crypto: This is for, and because I don't like you, and for your Bogus. Satin. JAMMIES!"
 * Abusive Alien Parents: According to Crypto, his cloning tube is more lovable than his own mother.
 * Actor Allusion: Not confirmed, but it seems like it shouldn't be a coincidence that Richard Horvitz is cast to play the ornery alien invader who is in charge of a mission on Earth.
 * AI Is a Crapshoot: Pox qualifies as this after he uploads his consciousness into a HoloPox Unit.
 * Aliens Are Bastards
 * Alien Abduction: The Abducto-Beam
 * Alien Among Us: Holobob and BodySnatch
 * Alien Animals: Burrow Beast
 * Alien Invasion
 * Aliens Made Them Do It: Hypno
 * Aliens Speaking English
 * Aliens Steal Cable: One of the missions in the first game.
 * Aliens Steal Cattle: Well, interrogate, then mutilate cattle...
 * Alternate Continuity: The non-Canon Big Willy Unleashed, in which Crypto 137 is still alive, conceived a Human-Furon hybrid child with Natalya, and is promoting a lucrative dead-body-disposing restaurant operation.
 * Anal Probing: In the first game the anal probe is a Charged Attack that can make the victim's head explode. It returns in the second game without the need for charging, though it now requires ammo.
 * And This Is For: Crypto to Saxon.

"Silhouette: We will continue to resist you!
 * Animeland: Takoshima (from the second game) is inhabited by schoolgirls, salarymen, ninjas and a giant monster.
 * Anticlimax Boss: An irritating number of examples, though some are more because of you can become rather overpowered over the course of the game (Meteor Gun, anyone?)
 * Silhouette and possibly General Armquist, though Armquist was definitely more of a challenge. Played horribly straight in DAH!3, in which some of the bosses barely even move, and especially if you have an upgraded Ion Detonator, except for.
 * Anyone Can Die: Humans are definitely subject to this a lot more then Furons, but three lead protagonists and one supporting protagonist die. Subverted with the furons, because they can clone themselves.
 * Arbitrary Skepticism: Crypto believes Bigfoot to be a crock.
 * Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever: In the first game, the final mission is a two-tiered boss fight named Attack of the 50 Foot President, in which the first boss is a 50 foot tall robot with the President's brain inside. In DAH!2, Takoshima, a thinly-veiled parody of Japan, gets attacked by a Godzillaesque Blisk monster called Kojira.
 * Awesome Moment of Crowning: Pox finally gets a reward after being dead for 10 years.
 * Back Tracking
 * Badass: Crypto. Also Pox, to some extent.
 * Bag of Spilling: In the second game, thanks to the destruction of the mothership.
 * Battle Theme Music
 * Beehive Barrier: Most Furon shields have this pattern.
 * Berserk Button: Don't call Crypto green.
 * BFG
 * Big No: In the third game,
 * Bland-Name Product: The titular restaurant mascot / Humongous Mecha from Big Willy Unleashed is suspiciously similar to the mascot of the Big Boy restaurant chain.
 * Shields As Hit Points
 * Body Snatcher
 * Boldly Coming: The reason why every human being has some Furon DNA.
 * Boss in Mook Clothing: The Yeti.
 * Brains and Brawn: Pox and Crypto. "Don't look at me, Pox handles all the technical stuff, I just... Blow stuff up."
 * Brain In A Jar
 * Brain Uploading: In Destroy All Humans! 2,
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall
 * Breather Level
 * Call Back: There are several to the first game in the second game.
 * Catch Phrase: "Pathetic Humans!" "Monkey!" and even the game title, "Destroy All Humans!"
 * Charged Attack: Anal probe in the first game. Also the Ion Detonator.
 * Chickification: Natalya. How many times do we have to escort her to her car?!
 * Cloudcuckoolander: The Town Crazy in the first game, and The Freak in the 2nd game.
 * Clone Degeneration: The reason the Furons are screwed without pure Furon DNA.
 * Color Coded for Your Convenience: All the weapons, handheld and vehicle alike, are associated with a color and a symbol. Zap-O-Matic is blue, Anal Probe is green, Death Ray is red, etc.
 * In the second game, you have to shoot glowing orbs with the right weapon to proceed, with the orbs being color-coded for the right weapon.
 * In the third game, your primary enemies, the Nexos, serve as the police for for the Fourth Ring. Their weakest level is blue, their medium level is the regular green, and the toughest level is red.
 * Color-Coded Multiplayer
 * Conspiracy Theorist
 * Continuity Drift: The third game's plot seems just a tad bit off in some places.
 * Continuity Nod
 * Conveniently Coherent Thoughts: When you read people's minds, they give you a succinct sentence. Maybe not a relevant one, but what did you expect?
 * Cool and Unusual Punishment: "Oh, God! Not Beethoven! ANYTHING BUT BEETHOVEN!"
 * Cool Car: Crypto's Flying Saucer, and the Big Willy Mech in the Wii Spin Off.
 * Cool Old Guy: The Master
 * Cool Ship: The saucer, especially in the third game.
 * Crapsack World
 * Crate Expectations: Largely played straight, and then the second game hangs a very heavy lampshade on it.
 * "Say, Pox, what d'you suppose all these crates are lying around for? What could they need with this many crates?" This continues for a while, until Pox finally says, "I think they get the point, Crypto."
 * The first game did too; if you read the mind of a dockworker, he mentions that he hates his job. "Push crate, climb crate, jump on crate, destroy crate...that's not fun!"
 * Crop Circles: Of course.
 * Cutscene
 * Cutscene Incompetence: And how. If you kill a Nexo with PK, it's smoking and Crypto is holding his Disintegrator ray in the cutscene.
 * Deadly Gas: Radiation in the second game. Big Willy's Windbreaker is a literal example in Big Willy Unleashed.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Crypto
 * Orthopox also makes frequent quips at the human race's expense (and sometimes Crypto's).
 * Death Is a Slap On The Wrist: In the second game, whenever Crypto dies, his clone is placed in the exact spot where he died, and he continues his duties.
 * The second game plays around with this in a very interesting optional boss fight.
 * Death Ray: Part of Crypto's arsenal.
 * Death Trap: The toxic alien gas bubble Natalya is trapped in, in the second game.
 * Destroyable Items
 * Dirty Communists: The KGB
 * The Dragon: Crypto plays this three times. Mostly to Pox, but also to, and ultimately he and Pox are this to Emperor Meningitis. At least until
 * Dodge This

Crypto: Resist this. *squish*"

"White Ninja Leader: Wrong! Supplier stop selling gray fabric. We wanted to be black ninja, but bastards put their order in first!"
 * Double Entendre: Big Willy Unleashed is VERY bad about this. Even the TITLE is one.
 * Double Jump: Thanks to the Jetpack.
 * Eagle Land: Type 2. Americans are stupid, paranoid, shotgun-toting dickheads. The Government drugs the food supplies, the scientists all have German accents, and they think they're better than everyone else.
 * Easter Egg
 * Elite Mooks
 * Enemy Chatter: As well as the conventional kind, the game allows and in fact requires the player to access the hidden thoughts of non-player characters as well.
 * Enemy Civil War: Crypto provokes a war between the Cosmonauts and the Blisk on Solaris.
 * Enemy Mine: Several humans team up with Crypto during the series.
 * Escort Mission: A FREAKING NUCLEAR BOMB in the first game. One in the second game even involves escorting a girl spy to her hot pink car.

 * Everythings Funkier With Disco: In the third game, set in The Seventies, Pox plans to use Disco to brainwash the world's population.
 * Evil Brit:
 * Evil Duo: Pox and Crypto. Well, more like Anti-Hero Duo.
 * Evil Is Hammy: Most of the villains, and Furons.
 * Evil Overlooker: Subverted/inverted.
 * Evil Pays Better: In the second game, Crypto hears one Japanese man thinking, "Should I join White Ninja or Black Ninja? On one hand, White Ninja are in glorious harmony with universe. On other hand, Black Ninja get to live on island north of Takoshima City. White Ninja get spiritual fulfillment. Black Ninja get paid. Black Ninja."
 * Exactly What It Says On the Tin
 * Expy: Orthopox is voiced by Invader Zim's voice actor, Richard Horvitz, and shares many of his personality traits. If one were to make him the main character, you'd essentially have Zim: The Game...
 * Except for the important detail that unlike Zim, Pox is a competent invader. Still everything else seems to match between the two.
 * Pox is also far more nerdy and speaks more properly and with more big words. He still loves destroying stuff though.
 * ... Nicktoons: Globs of Doom (which stars Zim among others) notwithstanding.
 * Excited Show Title
 * Fan Service: Silhouette, Natalya, and Veronica Stone.
 * Fantastic Racism: The Furon race views the human race as "inferior, filthy, pathetic, stupid monkeys" that are only useful for the strand of Furon DNA in their heads. Once the humans lose their usefulness via various means, they're just things to shoot/zoo animals/game pieces/something to try out their new sex organs on, and then throw away.
 * Subverted eventually, Crypto and Pox, rulers of the planet, eventually grow to enjoy human customs, though they'll never admit it if you asked them.
 * Fartillery: Big Willy's Windbreaker.
 * Fetch Quest: Lampshaded in ..Big Willy Unleashed''.
 * Finger Poke of Doom

 * Handicapped Badass: Pox, the genius fleet commander in the extremely frikkin cool Cerebro Chair.

 * He Who Must Not Be Seen: Up until the third game, the Furon Emperor is only mentioned twice, once in the first game, once in the second game. However, he does make an appearance at the end of the third game, just before.
 * Heroic Sociopath: For Furons at least, Crypto is a hero.
 * Hey It's That Voice
 * Hide Your Children
 * Highly-Visible Ninja / Technicolor Ninja: There's a reason why the White clan and Black clan of ninjas exist and hate each other.

 * Invisible Wall
 * Is That What He Told You

 * Mundane Utility
 * Named After Their Planet: Furons from the Planet Furon.
 * Nerf: The disintegrator ray in DAH!3
 * Ninja: Show up in the Japanese city in the second game. Much lampshading is made as the protagonist wonders why ninjas are still around in the modern day.

We've got Area 42 (Area 51), Union Town (Norfolk, Virginia), Capitol City (Washington D.C.), Bay City (San Francisco), Albion (London), Takoshima (Tokyo), Vietnmahl (Vietnam), Las Paradiso (Las Vegas), Sunnywood (Hollywood), Shen Long (Hong Kong) and last but not least, Belleville (Paris).
 * Strangely averted with Russia, perhaps because the U.S.S.R. isn't around anymore.
 * No Fair Cheating
 * No Fourth Wall: By the third game, the fourth wall never even existed.
 * No Gear Level: The mission "Furon Down".
 * Non-Action Guy: Pox, up until the third installment.

 * Obvious Beta: Several aspects of the third installment seem...unfinished.

"Crypto: You're a chick?!

 * Put On a Bus: Gastro in the third game. He's introduced in DAH!2 as a major supporting character, with a background story. In the third game, he is never seen, heard from, or spoken of again. Mostly due to everyone treating him as simply a weapon, and not a character. Natalya also gets this in the third game.

 * Ragdoll Physics
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Pox is the Blue, Crypto is the Red.
 * Red Scare

 * Sand Worm: The Burrow Beast.

 * Say My Name: "CRYPTO!" Pox does this often in the second game.

 * Set a Mook To Kill A Mook
 * Shock and Awe: Your initial weapon, the Zap-O-Matic, a Lightning Gun with bite.

 * DAH!3 has the misson Close Encounters of the Furon Kind where you have to reply to cultists beeping tones at your ship.

Crypto:Nobody talks music, that's stupid!"

"Crypto: (To Dr. Go!) My name is Luk-I mean, Cryptosporidium. I'm here to rescue you."
 * DAH!2 also features both a Shout Out to Star Wars and to The Matrix.

"Pox: (In reference to Crypto being Son of Arkvoodle) Crypto! What if it's true?! What if you're THE ONE?!
