Spooktober: Aliens interrupt a campout (1987)

 Rodney Dangerfield and the Miller Lite Celebrity All-Stars got into the spirit of Halloween---sort of---with this 1987 spot, as a camping trip is interrupted by a UFO. You won't believe the end of this one. Well, maybe.

An alien planet full of Rodney clones? Yeah, that was the punchline, as Rodney finally gets some respect, after a sort. But how to explain all those clones? We asked an expert.

"I have to hazard a guess, but these aliens are big fans of Rodney's, and thought the best way to make a first impression was to assume his appearance. As a shape changer myself, it's not the best strategy."

Considering that Rodney is considered even by his peers to be such a hard luck loser---even by Marv Throneberry's standards in early ads----it's a big stretch, but Jayna has a point. Those aliens saw the ads and/or some of Rodney's movies via satellite on their world, and saw him as a hero. Regrettably, there wasn't a sequel.
