Halloween at Lilly

Sid says "The Coneheads were an alien family, natives of the planet Remulak, who found themselves stranded on Earth. When questioned by Earth neighbors as to their strange behavior, they inevitably replied that they were "from France". Their unearthly appearance, however, was never strongly questioned -- a point from which much of the humor was derived.
Aside from their obvious physical differences, the Coneheads also had a very fast, nasal, monotone speech, and seemed to have much larger appetites than average humans. They would eat massive amounts of food during meals, (which they referred to as "consuming mass quantities"), drink entire six packs of beer at once, and smoke whole packs of cigarettes at a time. Despite their distinctions, they were never suspected of being aliens (even when accidentally referring to their neighbors as "Earthlings") by anyone who encountered them."
