Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: Ross loves the taste of cigarettes. John Hoyt, the actor who played him, died of lung cancer.
* HilariousInHindsight: While the title is a ShoutOut to the quiz show ''Series/ToTellTheTruth'', thanks to ParodyDisplacement, modern-day viewers will be reminded of [[Music/{{Eminem}} "Will the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up?"]]
* MagnificentBastard: [[TheDogWasTheMastermind Haley the cook]] at a small roadside diner is far more than he initially appears. Against the hidden Martian going by the name "Ross," Haley allows him to seemingly manipulate the situation to cause the deaths of any witnesses nearby before revealing that Haley had been playing Ross and in fact had been setting up earth for conquest and colonization. Revealing a third eye, Haley states [[AlienAmongUs he is from Venus]] and his fleet has intercepted the Martians' own, with Haley's plot for an invasion imminent.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/JackElam as Avery.
* SpecialEffectFailure: While Ross's third arm holds up relatively well, Haley's third eye is ''clearly'' fake: it's completely different from the shape of his own eyes, doesn't blink (it *does* roll back a little-- a motion which is unfortunately concealed by Haley throwing his head back at that moment), and it's possible to make out the edges of the pasted-on circle that backs it. Amusingly, the actor who played Haley later said that despite all that, people would ''still'' come up to him in the street and say, "My God! Where's your third eye?"
