{{work}}

* One particular moment from the first season:

* The first season is just full of one-line hilarity. Another one, from the very first episode when the aliens arrive at the Dean's faculty party:

'''Sally''': If you'll back up. }}

* "I try to mold us into a perfect family to blend in and what do I get? A surly teenager, a sister obsessed with a man, and a brother who drinks too much! I ask you, is there any other family in America like this?!"

* The episode where Dick [[Disguised in Drag|dresses as a woman]] to infiltrate Mary's study group. Meanwhile, Tommy considers telling August that he's an alien.

''[she hugs him]'' }}

* In another episode, Alissa walked in on Tommy (actually the oldest of the aliens) cuddling a distraught Dick. Alissa was freaked out and ran from the room. Tommy immediately said "Alissa, look, he's not really my dad, he's just some guy I'm living with!" After a [[Beat]], Tommy realizes that made it sound even ''worse''.

* In the episode from the first season when Harry first found out about the "thing in his head", Dick assures him that "it's not in the part you use -- it's in your brain."

* Harry deciding that clothes are one big scam.

'''Harry''': EL NADA! }}

* William Shatner, in a guest appearance as the Big Giant Head, gets off a plane and talks about how he had looked out the window and seen "something on the wing". Dick (John Lithgow) replies, "Same thing happened to me!" This is a double [[Shout-Out]] to a classic ''[[Twilight Zone]]'' episode starring Shatner, which was later remade starring Lithgow.

* The entire episode of ''Dick vs Strudwick,'' especially towards the end of the episode where Dick turns discussion of Strudwick's new physics textbook into a [[Jerry Springer]] -esque brawl.

* In one of the early episodes where the aliens are discovering some of the frustrations of human family life. Dick and Sally are arguing and Tommy comes into the kitchen.

'''Tommy''': Fine! }}

* When Mary's brother Roy comes to visit her at work and runs into Nina.

'''Nina''': *[[Beat]]* It's just something I picked up in spy school. }}

* Dick's trouble using the copy machine, until he declares "I'm going to beat you with your own toner!" At the end of the episode, Mary tries to show him how to do it, only to run into the same problem and also pull out the toner.

** She doesn't pull out the toner. She starts hitting the machine with her fist, and THEN Dick hands her the toner.

* When Sally thinks Alissa is going to break up with Tommy:

* In one episode, we find Dick reading through a physics textbook, laughing his ass off. Then he pulls out the [[Dr. Seuss]]...

* The baby food scene. Featuring Joseph Gordon Levitt [[Corpsing|visibly cracking up.]]

* Dick's leather pants.
