* Barbara Land is the poster girl for BourgeoisBohemian, particularly in one scene where she tries to attain enlightenment while sitting in a room with as private pool and expensive-yet-tacky furnishings.

* When the Martian Emperor makes his first appearance, he's reading a girly mag. From the look of things, the center-fold actually turned him on!
* When the Martians attack a donut store, several policemen run out.
* When a Martian steps into a giant mech suit, his wife throws him a lunch box and waves him off like he's going to work.
* Art Land could provide a whole page just by himself.
* When the Martians first broadcast their message, Donald tries to comfort Natalie by putting a reassuring hand on her knee. She's wearing a skirt, so Jason cries out ''"He copped a feel!"''. That was apparently a bigger deal than what was happening next to him.
* A dark moment, but the president's wife could have saved her own life if she didn't obsess over her antique chandelier getting zapped ''while standing right beneath it!''
* Martin Short getting attacked by a Martian in disguise ends with a "fish finger" pun.
* When the Martians break into the president's bunker, they toss a glowing orb into the main room. Cue everyone ducking for cover. When the Martian Emperor walks in, he grabs the orb, shakes it and reveals that it's just a snow globe.
* The way the movie ends. You wouldn't expect a film about alien invaders to end with Tom Jones singing while animals flock to him like Snow White.
