->'''Tiffany''': All because the snake stole some gas?

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At one point in the film, Walt and co. help a grandmother alien get her granddaughter down from a roof, then, when they need a place to stay, they turn to her because Noiman Ja Rahr's credit card is rejected. When there, the granny alien tells them "Don't turn that TV on!". But does Noiman Ja Rahr listen? Of course not! So he turns on the TV for his favorite TV show, Paddle Wackier, when all of the sudden, the TV comes to life and tries to eat them! So what do they do? They live the poor, nice granny alien to defend for herself. Afterwards, Noiman peer pressures Walt into stealing gas, and they are chased by silver fish! But perhaps the biggest moment that qualifies for this trope would be when Walt is starring in an action movie, directed by a Japanese director who cannot speak English, and then, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GYE-Tl5CJkBOOM! AAAAHHH!!!!!! Walt gets blown up and goes flying into the air!]]
