Destroy All Humans!: Difference between revisions

''"I am '''not''' green!"'' }}

 

 

Taking place in a satirical version of [[Eagle Land|America]] in [[The Fifties]], it follows a sarcastic, trigger-happy "grey" alien named Cryptosporidium-137 ([[Some Call Me... Tim|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 [[Boldly Coming|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.

 

 

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

 

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Abusive Alien Parents]]: According to Crypto, his ''cloning tube'' is more lovable than his own mother.

* [[Aliens Are Bastards]]

* [[Alien Abduction]]: The Abducto-Beam

* [[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.

* [[Animeland]]: Takoshima (from the second game) is inhabited by [[Sailor Fuku|schoolgirls]], [[Salaryman|salarymen]], [[ninja]]s and a [[Kaiju|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?)

* [[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.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Crypto, AKA Crypto 137/8/9, AKA Cryptosporidium, AKA Cryptosporidium 137/8/9.

* [[Everything Fades]]

*** Pox is also far more nerdy and speaks more properly and with more big words. He still loves destroying stuff though.

** ... ''[[Nicktoons Unite!|Nicktoons: Globs of Doom]]'' (which stars Zim among others) notwithstanding.

* [[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.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]

* [[Hide Your Children]]

{{quote|'''White Ninja Leader''': Wrong! Supplier stop selling gray fabric. We wanted to be black ninja, but bastards put their order in first!}}

* [[Hive Mind]]: The Blisk

* [[Human Resources]]: ''Big Willie Unleashed'' features a fast food shop which makes burgers out of the humans used to remove brain stems.

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Roboprez and Big Willy.

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Crypto carries up to 8 weapons on him at a time, and it ''DAH!3'', all the saucer's giant weapons pop out of the hull.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: {{spoiler|Silhouette disguises herself as a man simply so that they would take her seriously....yet ironically she is quite sexist.}}

* [[Monumental Damage]]

* [[The Mothership]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Natalya

* [[My Brain Is Big]]

* [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche]]: All the games are generally a satirical parody of the date the setting takes place in. For example, the first game spoofs and parodies hundreds of events from [[The Fifties]], including the first big Sci-Fi craze and America's fear of communism.

* [[Satellite Character]]: Crypto and Pox would be pretty bland alone.

* [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]]

* [[Sequel Hook]]

{{quote|'''Pox''':Great Arkvoodle! The fools think we have a musical language!

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

{{quote|'''Crypto:''' (To Dr. Go!) My name is Luk-I mean, Cryptosporidium. I'm here to rescue you.}}

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

'''Crypto:''' Well, I ''did'' take a red pill this morning, heheh. }}

* [[The Sixties]]

* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: Crypto and Natalya start out this way.

* [[Storming the Castle]]: The attack on the Blisk base in the second game, and the attack on the Furon palace in the third game.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]

* [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]]: {{spoiler|Pox dies at the very beginning of the second game. Not that it stops him from harassing Crypto. Or Vice Versa}}

* [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]]

* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' meets ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' meets ''[[Invader Zim]]''.

* [[You Are Number Six]]: Each clone is designated by the number of times the Furon has been cloned. If you've been cloned 13 times, you clone number is 13.

* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: Double example -- {{spoiler|The Master's plan is essentially regicide. After Crypto kills Meningitis, he gets Orthopox to kill the Master, who then decides to stick around as Furon Emperor.}}

* [[Zillion-Dollar Bill]]: Furon DNA acts as this.

* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: The Blisk mutants in DAH!2. Played Straight with the Zombie Gun in BWU.
