The Watch is a 2012 comedy movie about a Neighborhood Watch that discovers an Alien Invasion. It was directed by The Lonely Island member Akiva Schaffer and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.Originally titled Neighborhood Watch, it was retitled and the marketing was changed to focus on the aliens after a controversial incident in Florida where an altercation between a teenager and a Neighborhood Watchman left the teenager dead from a bullet wound.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The story takes place in the small town of Glenview, Ohio. It begins when local Costco manager Evan Trautwig (Ben Stiller) forms the Watch after his store's night watchman is gruesomely murdered and the police don't seem to care. He's joined by three others: Bob (Vince Vaughn), a construction worker with a rebellious daughter, Franklin (Jonah Hill), a high school dropout who wanted to be a cop but failed the psych tests, and Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade), a recent divorcee. None of them are as dedicated as Evan, though.Then they quite literally crash into the aliens' plot. The aliens are replacing people in the town as part of their preparation for a full invasion of Earth. Now its up to them to find out who has been replaced and stop them in time. | |

Brick Joke: Jamarcus mentions early on that one of his dream scenarios is an Asian woman coming up to him and offering to suck on his balls. When he and Evan happen upon an orgy in their neighborhood, this exact thing happens. Bob says "I swear to God I will rip his [his daughter's boyfriend] dick off with my bare hands." Her boyfriend turns out to be one of the aliens, and he does exactly that. | |
