Line 18: * [[Plot Hole]]: Why would Eric think sucking MAC into a vacuum cleaner would work unless he saw what happened at the beginning of the film? * [[Product Placement]]: All-time record holder. The products in question are: Coca-~~Cola -- This~~Cola—This turns out to be the Earth analogue to the aliens' primary nourishment on their home planet, and thus ''vital to their survival''! [[McDonald's]] ~~-- A~~—A character (Courtney) works there, and the kids go to a birthday party there at one point, hence Ronald's cameo. The trailer even played up the cameo. While Eric names the alien "Mac" based on his being a '''M'''ysterious '''A'''lien '''C'''reature, it's hard not to think of the restaurant's Big Mac sandwich, ''especially'' since it's name-dropped in the film. The aliens even come from the planet of "Quartus Poundus", which apparently refers to another McDonald's sandwich, the Quarter Pounder with Cheese. ~~Powerwheels -- Mac~~Powerwheels—Mac steals a Powerwheels car, and ends up getting chased by dogs while riding it. ~~Sears -- The~~Sears—The mom gets a job here, and the government agents chase Eric and Mac through it. ~~Skittles -- Also~~Skittles—Also important to survival. Wickes ~~Lumber -- Mac~~Lumber—Mac desires to go there,<ref> Not an actual Wickes ''location'' but rather one of their billboards on a desert highway</ref>, and it's also the location of a comic relief scene with the alien family and the final confrontation with the government. *** All the furniture in their house is made with Wickes Lumber, as well. * [[Sequel Hook]]: ''"We'll be back!"'' [[Hilarious in Hindsight\|Oh no, you won't!]] (The Current Trope Image) * [[That Reminds Me of a Song]]: The dance number at McDonald's. Would definitely qualify as a [[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene]] if the ~~[[BLAM~~Non Sequitur Scene Episode\|entire movie wasn't this crazy]]. * [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: When Courtney makes the very good point that the government might actually have a good reason to catch MAC, like for instance him having a disease, Eric's only rebuttal is "He doesn't have any diseases." How can he know that for sure? === Notably averts: === * [[Inspirationally Disadvantaged]]: Eric is in a wheelchair. Other than getting to do some really eye-popping stunts with it (car chase, anyone?), no big deal is made of it. ** Also, [[Elephant in The Room\|no one seems to notice]], as he's blamed for things he shouldn't be able to do by himself (rearranging a room).
