''[[Excited Show Title!|Destroy All Humans!]]'' is a [[Wide Open Sandbox]] action game released in 2005 by Pandemic Games.


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.

* [[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.
