Comic Books
* A Deconstruction is offered in ''{{Comicbook/Miracleman}}'', where the public emergence of the alien Warpsmiths, along with the distinctly posthuman Miracleman leads to [[BewareTheSuperman a strange new posthuman society dominated by transformed humans.]]

Live Action TV
* Probably the most famous example is the "To Serve Man" episode of  ''Series/TheTwilightZone'', in which alien benefactors arrive on Earth and provide technology that ends war by nullifying all weaponry, cures to all known diseases, and other remarkable benefits of their advanced technology. [[ItWasHisSled In the now-stock twist,]] it turns out it's all a scheme to make human helpless and dependent so they can be bred as food stock.

Western Animation
* The first appearance of Kang and Kodos on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' was a segment in the inaugural "WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror" episode offering a {{Parody}} of the aforementioned ''Twilight Zone'' episode. Int his one, the twist is that [[spoiler: the aliens really are beneficent; it's Lisa's skepticism that robs mankind of their promised aid.]]
