History YMMV / PodPeople

-->You're naughty, Trumpy. Very naughty.

*** Tommy seeing a lion and a hippo when he looks through his telescope during the scene is never explained, outside of it being some good {{Padding}} for the filmmakers using cheap stock footage.

** (''okay sign'') "It stinks!" [[note]]Once the band finishes recording their mishearing-laced song, the singer does the okay sign then says that the song stinks. It makes more sense in the film's native Spain, as detailed below in ValuesDissonance, but Joel & the Bot's repeated riffing of the gesture as made it meme-worthy.[[/note]]

** In the version used on ''Series/{{MST3K}}'', the intro and outro, which were taken from a completely different film.

** Even though it was released a few years before the series began, Trumpy definitely looks a lot more like Series/{{ALF}} than E.T., which ''Series/{{MST3K}}'' mentions in their riffing.

* HollywoodHomely: One of the band girls complains that she's the only one with no boyfriend because she's not pretty. She isn't any worse looking than the other girls. However it's unclear whether the film ''actually'' expects us to find her unattractive, or if it's an element of the other self-esteem issues she displays.

** Trumpy is compared to a cross between a bear and a pig. [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Add a man in there and you might be getting somewhere...]]

* OlderThanTheyThink: The basic plotline is strikingly similar to ''Night Skies'', the original CReator/StevenSpielberg SciFiHorror project that eventually evolved into ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial''--a human family is terrorized by aliens, but the young, good alien develops a bond with the family's young child. Whether that's just coincidence, the filmmakers knew about ''Night Skies'', or both stories were separate riffs on an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly%E2%80%93Hopkinsville_encounter infamous 1955 incident]] in Kentucky that became a celebrated bit of [=UFOlogist=] lore isn't clear.
