Meet Dave: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

* [[Aliens Steal Cable]]: And figure out how to navigate the internet on the side.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The DVD and Blu-Ray releases of the film contain featurettes that explain a little more about the culture of planet Nil and the characters' backgrounds (No. 4 is apparently tall for a Nillian; No. 3 was No. 2's personal assistant at one point; and, in a rather dark turn, any Nillian who shows emotions is ''killed on the spot'', which makes you wonder [[Fridge Logic|if this will happen to the crew when they return to the uninfluenced planet]]),as well as revealing the 'numbers' of some of the characters whose are not blatantly stated in the film (for example, the Head Engineer is Number 10).

* [[Anti Mutiny]]: Number Two stages one of these after the Captain and many of the crew become preoccupied with having fun on Earth, and having the gall to interact in a respectable fashion with the "behemoths" Josh and Gina.

* [[Anti-Mutiny]]: Number Two stages one of these after the Captain and many of the crew become preoccupied with having fun on Earth, and having the gall to interact in a respectable fashion with the "behemoths" Josh and Gina.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: the aliens learn of Earth's status as a [[Crapsack World]] by scanning the covers of assorted magazines, depicting war, pollution, [[Britney Spears]]...

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Number Two, following the anti-mutiny.

Line 22:

* [[Crash Into Hello]]: If Gina hitting Dave ''with her car'' doesn't count...

* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Played a little better than most, the aliens are relatively new to Earth culture, but are actually able to deduce most things and not stand out too horribly.

* [[Friend or Idol Decision]]: At the climax of the movie, Dave is left with just enough power to either get the orb out of the ocean, saving Earth, ''or'' lift off and return home to Nil. {{spoiler|Luckily, Josh's quick thinking enables the aliens to [[Take a Third Option|do both]] }}.

* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: At the climax of the movie, Dave is left with just enough power to either get the orb out of the ocean, saving Earth, ''or'' lift off and return home to Nil. {{spoiler|Luckily, Josh's quick thinking enables the aliens to [[Take a Third Option|do both]] }}.

* [[Hot Mom]]: Elizabeth Banks!

* [[I Am Spartacus]]: After the Captain regains control of Dave following the anti-mutiny, he asks the crew for their input regarding the decision of whether or not they should save Earth.

Line 32:

* [[Mobile Suit Human]] ''and'' [[Humongous Mecha]] in one

* [[Oh Crap]]: Dave has one of these moments, after he is reminded that the M in MRI (which he is about to undergo) stands for "magnetic". The Captain and Number Three share two Oh Crap moments after they are {{spoiler|ejected from the ship by Number Two. One happens when they find themselves standing next to a fire hydrant that is about to be "marked" by a passing dog; the other happens shortly thereafter, when they are nearly run over by a taxi as the Captain tries to get Number Three unstuck from a piece of used bubble gum.}}

* [[Shout Out]]: Dave's weapons transform in a similar way to [[Astro Boy]]'s [[Arm Cannon]] (but fingertip-size).

* [[Shout-Out]]: Dave's weapons transform in a similar way to [[Astro Boy]]'s [[Arm Cannon]] (but fingertip-size).

* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: In-Universe. The Captain and crew's refusal to stop having fun is what causes Number Two to snap and stage the anti-mutiny.

* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: See "[["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]".
