History YMMV / EarthGirlsAreEasy

* IdiotPlot: Alien looking for space porn crashes ship in pool of Valley Girl with boyfriend problems. Boyfriend continues to be a problem until she realizes she's in love with the captain of the alien ship. The film does freely admit that all of its characters are somewhere from "lovable ditz" to "dumbass".

** Mac and Valerie's romance may also be a little harder to watch when one remembers that Creator/JeffGoldblum and Creator/GeenaDavis's real-life relationship -- they married midway through the shoot -- ended about two years after its release, although they reportedly managed to stay on good terms.

* HilariousInHindsight: A fly landed on Vice President Mike Pence's head midway through the 2020 Vice Presidential debate and stayed there for two minutes; it became a huge MemeticMutation immediately and there was an online outcry to have Creator/JeffGoldblum play it on that weekend's ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' and reference one of his most famous roles in ''Film/TheFly1986''. But Goldblum was in England shooting ''Jurassic World: Dominion'' -- no time to bring him over. The show's solution: Have Creator/JimCarrey, already a regular guest as Democratic Presidential candidate UsefulNotes/JoeBiden, take over in the weekend's ColdOpen with his Biden teleporting himself to the debate, merging with a fly, and undergoing a SlowTransformation into Jeff Goldblum. In effect, Wiploc was the PoorMansSubstitute for Mac!

* RetroactiveRecognition: About a year later, the actors portraying Wiploc and Zeebo would be two of the stars of ''Series/InLivingColor''.

** A lot of the humor at Ted's expense may seem less funny when one remembers that his actor, Creator/CharlesRocket, committed suicide in 2005.

** Justified, as the film acknowledges most of the characters are either idiots or loveable ditzes, including the aliens.
