In the News (Sun 12 Oct 08)

  
  Coneheads - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coneheads was a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live featuring a family of extraterrestrials with cone-shaped heads, from the planet "Remulak," posing in the suburban United States as immigrants from France.
The sketch, which was featured in the show from 1975 until 1980, starred Dan Aykroyd as father Beldar, Jane Curtin as mother Prymaat and Laraine Newman as daughter Conjaab ("Connie").
Dan Aykroyd said he developed the idea for the Coneheads based on the Moai, the mysterious and ancient stone statues of Easter Island, which had similarly conical heads.

 TV ACRES: Directory of Aliens - Coneheads (Saturday Night Live)
The Coneheads consisted of two parental units, Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin) and a teenage unit named Connie, a.k.a.
They referred to humans as "Blunt Skulls." Their favorite meal consisted of six packs of beer, potato chips and shredded raw animal flesh, of which they consumed "mass quantities." Sexual foreplay for Remulakan's was accomplished with the help of large plastic rings covered with fur.
In their normal environment, the Coneheads breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.

 Coneheads - Synopsis - Moviefone
"The Coneheads" were a sketch on the Saturday Night Live television show of the late '70s which were expanded to feature-length proportions with this film.
Before long, all thoughts of invading Earth are left behind as Beldar and Prymaat quickly adapt to suburban life -- except for their coneheads and metallic-sounding voices, they become a typical middle-class suburban family.
The Coneheads have a child, Connie (Michelle Burke) and Beldar becomes a New York cab driver and starts up his own driving school.

 Apollo Movie Guide's Review of Coneheads
Coneheads is a tedious, pointless exercise in pop culture resuscitation, providing a showcase for Planet Remulak natives Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin) Conehead a mere 15 years after they were late-night television fare.
The plot ostensibly involves the Coneheads’ attempts to blend into American culture (as immigrants “from France”) after crash-landing, and the efforts of an over-zealous immigration officer (Michael McKean) to deport them, but that’s really beside the point.
Coneheads falls into that time-honoured category of the fish-out-of-water comedy, with most of the gags generally involving a) English clichés with a Remulakian word hilariously substituted (“You appear to have me by the base of the [insert gibberish here]”) or b) mundane bits of exposition with overly-technical descriptions of simple things (“swine flesh” for bacon).

 DVD Verdict Review - Coneheads
Traveling to Earth from the planet Remulak, Beldar and Prymaat Conehead (Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtain), are bent on world domination when their plans of conquest are foiled as their ship is shot down over the New Jersey shoreline.
One of the series' most famous recurring skits was one that involved an alien family stranded on Earth and the trials and tribulations associated with life in the suburbs outside of New York.
There was an absurdity about the Coneheads and the sense that the SNL writers were turning a mirror onto American life and the things we always took for granted.

 Genus Belocephalus
The populations of short-winged coneheads (Belocephalus) fall readily into two species groups: greater short-winged coneheads, represented by sabalis, davisi, and sleighti, and lesser short-winged coneheads, represented by subapterus and micanopy.
Short-winged coneheads are frequently associated with small palms, especially the saw and cabbage palmettos, the two most abundant native palms of southeastern U.S. They conceal themselves between fronds and in the pleats of fronds.
Since short-winged coneheads are sometimes abundant in areas with no palms, they must not depend entirely on palms for either food or shelter.

"Coneheads" begins with Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin) leaving their home planet, Remulak, to pave the way for an interstellar invasion of Earth — but instead find themselves stranded and decide to blend in.
The Coneheads move to New York City, where Beldar becomes a cabbie.
"Coneheads" is rated PG for doubletalk double-entendres, some mildly vulgar dialogue, a single profanity and a brief locker room nude scene, revealing the unique backside of a Remulakian.

Ook Coneheads, eveneens een voortvloeisel uit een SNL-sketch, is niet bijzonder memorabel.
Het probleem aan Coneheads is precies wat veel van de overige SNL-films plaagt: de personages zijn leuk genoeg om een sketch van enkele minuten te dragen, maar een anderhalf uur durende film is een compleet ander verhaal.
Normaliter is het geluid van komedies niet echt bijzonder, maar ieder die bij Coneheads de gebruikelijke, op de voorkanalen gerichte surroundtrack verwacht zal aangenaam verrast worden.
