fun fact:

This literally was the last episode of ALF.

They thought it would be a cliffhanger for the next season ; which never came.

They kept saying if he was ever caught he'd be dissected. And he was literally caught in the end. He had a Walter White ending.

Alf is the one who knocks

Willie would have taken measures to prevent that. His biggest advantage was that he was constantly underestimated.

There was a followup movie 6 years later, but as you can see from the audience score it wasn't very good. None of the actors from the Tanner family came back for it.

Permanent Midnight was the better followup movie for Alf

Why is his name Gordon shumway?

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

After the family whom adopted him.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The family was the Tanners. Gordon Shumway was literally his name from back on Melmac. ALF is an acronym for Alien Life Form and is what the family called him as a nickname.

Oh.. that's what he meant by they said it on TV.

Not gonna lie Vance looks like he could be Alf in disguise.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Is this from the Alf episode where he visits a prostitute? Ahhh, different times.

There's either a Gen X saboteur on the Trump/Vance team or everybody is either too young or too old to know about ALF.

Seriously, "illegal aliens are eating all the cats?"

Boomer: Oh my God!
Gen X: Haha...ALF!
Millennial: Oh my God!

[–] myusernameis@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

OH. MY. GOD. I'm an 80s kid and I loved Alf. How did I not connect this sooner?! This is amazing OP!

And childless cat ladies everywhere rejoice.
