Summary The Coneheads are an alien family, natives of the planet Remulak, who find themselves stranded on Earth. The Coneheads most distinguishing feature is that the tops of their heads are shaped like large cones. Conical skulls go mostly unnoticed When questioned by Earth neighbors as to their strange behavior, they inevitably reply that they are from France. With the exception of Agent Seedling and his assistant, they are never suspected of being extraterrestrial aliens by anyone who encounters them, even when accidentally referring to their neighbors as Earthlings. A lot of the humor is derived from this. Even their unearthly appearance is never strongly questioned, except once during the January 21, 1978, episode by Steve Martin in the family feud skit. The shape of their head has also been questioned in the film (by Tom Arnold in a quick cameo). Agent Seedling also notices the cones and gives a description to the sketch artist as higher, like a point. Sinbads character also makes reference to Beldars cone by suggesting he get a hat, among other things to help him assimilate.
