Line 12:
During it's Irish theatrical run ''Zonad'' was proceeded by an unrelated short film (a very common practice with Irish movies). Fittingly, the short preceeding ''Zonad'' was a deliberately bizarre parody - ''Moore Street Masala'', the first ever [[Bollywood]] film made in Ireland.

=== contains examples of ===
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Benson.
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Guy dresses up as a woman to catch Bonad in a [[Honey Trap]]. He gets Bonad's attention but only after having to fend off the interest of another man.
Line 25:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The town is called Bally''moran''. Taken up a notch due to bilingual bonus.
* [[The Ditz]]: Nearly everyone.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The "love you" eyelids from ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark (Film)|Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'' are skewered mercilessly. Zonad and Bonad's costumes are bargain basement [[2001: A Space Odyssey]].
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The unbelievable back-projection effect from when people are driving around. You could also apply this to the gaping plothole that every single person instantly believes Zonad when he says he's an alien.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:The excuse for the costumes was originally supposed to be that a prison was putting on a musical of 2001ASpaceOdyssey. At some point in the production this was geared to simply putting on a fancy dress party. Presumably this was to save budget.
