Mistaken for Aliens: Difference between revisions

 

Yet another variant of [[Comedy of Errors]].

 

* [[The Cutie|Rena]] from ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' mistook her friends for aliens in "The Atonement" chapter. {{spoiler|Of course, she was at best, at lv.4 [[Hate Plague|Hinamizawa Syndrome]]}}

* One episode of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' had Honey's younger brother Yasuchika accuse him of being an alien simply because he eats three cakes at once ''in less than a second'' once a week.

* ''[[Franken Fran]]'' helps an actress who has fallen for a male lead who is obsessed with anime features, and wants to star opposite him in live-action adaptations. She insists on ever more extensive surgery but fails to take Fran's advice at the hazards in her rush to bed the actor, and cosmetically falls to pieces. He flees in terror, then goes on so many talk shows raving about Grays trying to abduct him that he doesn't get any more roles.

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* A long-running plot point of ''[[Animorphs]]''. The Yeerks thought the kids were Andalites.

 

* "Tomorrow is Yesterday" from ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''.

* The ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]'' episode [http://www.tv.com/i-dream-of-jeannie/u-f-oh-jeannie/episode/252763/summary.html?tag=reviews;episode;2 "U-F-Oh Jeannie"], where Tony was mistaken for a Martian by a group of rednecks in the [[Deep South]].

* In ''[[Kyle XY]]'', Josh Trager claims, half-jokingly, that Kyle is an alien. (In fact he's an experimental clone with psychic powers.) Two years later, when Kyle finally reveals his history to the Tragers, he comments that Josh's guess may have been the closest to the truth.

* In the ''[[Lost in Space]]'' episode "Visit to a Hostile Planet", the Robinsons go back through time to 1947 and are mistaken for aliens when they land on Earth.

* In ''[[The Addams Family]]'', the Addams are mistaken for aliens by the military, who approach them claiming to wish peace and asking them lots of questions. As a consequence, The Addams believe the army men are aliens as well (because of their green wardrobe).

** Quicker, maybe, but the main reason was to avoid paradox. (Although that didn't stop Jack from going by the names of fictional characters, some of whom already existed and others didn't, but [[Rule of Funny|who cares]]? They didn't want to [[Butterfly of Doom|endanger the Stargate program by accident]].

* Done in the ''[[Torchwood]]'' episode "Countrycide", where the team thinks that some aliens are responsible for disappearances and attacks. Turns out, it's a bunch of [[I Am a Humanitarian|humanitarians]].
