History PlayingWith / AmericaSavesTheDay

** When a {{Notzilla}} begins to rampage through Japan, the Japanese government creates a group full of {{Worm Guy}}s with s few noticeable American ex-pats, but they are by far the least useful members of the team.

** When the time comes for destroying the {{Notzilla}}, the operation goes completely pear-shaped up until one of said American ex-pats [[TakingYouWithMe grabs the anti-Notzilla weapon and successfully pulls off a kamikaze attack with it]]. The film ends with the surviving {{Worm Guy}}s saying a GallowsHumor one-liner where they wonder about America claiming that they killed the monster by proxy.

* '''Subverted''': The American military sends up a few nukes, and it looks like the aliens are taken care of -- until the second wave hits, and America gets the retaliatory strike. Now it has to work with its fellow nations to save the entire world.
* '''Double Subverted''': ... Until all of the world's armies fail, one by one, and the US is the last line of defense!

** It turns out that the whole thing is American military propaganda. In reality, the aliens are not only peaceful, but ''America'' was the one who attacked them because [[WarForFunAndProfit they wanted the aliens' technology and resources for the power and profit of the politicians and corporations.]] But they needed a legitimate sounding excuse to ''not'' be labeled as the aggressor, and thus deliberately fudged up the truth for their own gain and to be praised as the hero of a conflict that ''they'' started to ''save the day''.

** A country that is a well-known adversary (Such as China, Iran or Russia) of the United States is the one who saves the world from the alien invasion.

* '''Parodied''': America has a check list of everything that needs to happen in an AlienInvasion before they're allowed to do anything about it.

** Uncle Sam rises from the dead, and proves to be a OneManArmy.

* '''Exaggerated''': Most of the world immediately capitulate and welcome our new alien overlords. But Uncle Sam won't go down that easy!
