8	!!This film provides examples of:
9
10	%% * AbhorrentAdmirer: Billy Blue to Alice Johnson.
11	* BagofHolding: Butch's raccoon-skin cap. He's somehow able to hide a sandwich, a bottle of milk, a stick, several dinner rolls and a burger on a plate under his hat.
12	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Christopher R. Mihm crashes the dance party at the end of the movie.
13	%% * CloudCuckoolander: Butch and Chip.
14	* CreatorCameo: Christopher R. Mihm provides the voice for the Friendly Alien.
15	* CreditsGag: No animals, invisible alien puppies, invisible alien kitties, or invisible alien monkeys were harmed in the making of this film.
16	* DancePartyEnding: The kids all start dancing to the rock and roll music they find on the radio rather than start cleaning up the mess caused by their adventure.
17	* DopeSlap: Repeatedly. Mostly against Billy Blue when he starts waxing romantic about Alice.
18	%% * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The title says it all.
19	* GeniusDitz: Butch, who understands the invisible aliens' scientific jargon despite seemingly living in his own little world most of the time.
20	* HiddenDepths: Butch is much smarter than he looks.
21	* {{Homage}}: To TheFifties SciFiHorror.
22	* InvisibleJerkass: The alien "puppy", who is not dangerous, but is very mischievous.
23	* InvisibleMonsters: Averted, somewhat. While the aliens are invisible to human senses, due to being slightly out of phase with our dimension, they are friendly and use their advanced technology to help treat a mysterious plague.
24	%% * KidHero: The titular kids.
25	* MySisterIsOffLimits: Danny's attitude toward Billy Blue talking about Alice being his one true love.
26	* {{Newsreel}}: The film opens with a GagDub newsreel which makes reference to several earlier Film/{{Mihmiverse}} movies.

28	* SeeTheInvisible: Evelyn uses flour to track the puppy's movement and reveal its presence.
29	* ShoutOut:
30	** Billy Blue quotes the meme of Giorgio A. Tsoukalos of Series/AncientAliens saying "I don't want to say it's aliens... but it's aliens."
31	* TheStinger: There's a post-credits scene where Evelyn tells Butch to go home (as he's eating a burger rather than finish cleaning the basement) and discovers there is another invisible presence.
