A formerly common depiction of aliens, now a Discredited Trope. They're green, they pilot Flying Saucers, and they're smaller than humans. The degree of "little" varies widely; they may be only a head or so shorter than humans, or they may be small enough to pick up in one hand. They commonly have antennae. Typically, they are either hostile or mysterious. If hostile, they will wield ray guns, speak English, and will ask anyone they find to take them to their leader. If mysterious, they will probably not speak, or speak only in weird beeping noises, possibly abduct people, and then disappear quickly and mysteriously, leaving little trace. Since the Mariner and Viking probes of The '60s, they've been slowly replaced by The Greys in serious works. Basically done for comedy now. Also qualifies as a Dead Unicorn Trope, since the humorous depictions have always outnumbered the serious ones. See also Green-Skinned Space Babe, Martians, and Reptilian Conspiracy. For the Christopher Buckley novel, see Little Green Men. |

In Touhou Shinpiroku ~ Urban Legend in Limbo, they show up as Shinmyoumaru's Urban Legend. If the opponent is facing away from them when they're on screen, the green men will charge at them. In her Occult Last Word, Shinmyoumaru used her Size Shifting power to enlarge them into a giant, ending up with a gigantic foot stomping on the opponent. | |

The Simpsons: In "Homer the Great", we briefly see a Martian, of whom the Stonecutters "keep under wraps". The end of "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase" claims that Homer is joined by Ozmodiar, a parody of the Great Gazoo from The Flintstones. In the ending montage of "'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky", Frink finds a meteorite that he believes could contain alien life. A little green man then climbs out, curtly tells him to shut up, and walks out with the rock. |

The Captain, from Nextwave, got his powers as a gift from a pair of little green men. He then proceeded to murder them both and express dismay that he didn't get a pot of gold as a reward, having mistaken them for leprechauns.

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "The Little People of Killany Woods", Liam O'Shaughnessy sees several three-foot-tall green aliens in Killany Woods. Their size and color, as well as their toadstool-shaped ship, causes him to mistake them for Leprechauns but he eventually learns the truth. Discussed in "A Saucer of Loneliness". Margaret's mother tells her that their neighbors have been looking at them strangely since Margaret's contact with the Flying Saucer and that they probably think that she is a traitor who is conspiring with little green men. |

Marvel Universe: The Skrulls started out as almost completely stereotypical little green men in the second issue of Fantastic Four. They even arrived in a literal Flying Saucer, which Reed stored in the Baxter Building for years afterward. Decades of stories since then have fleshed them out a lot (and they're generally portrayed to be of human height these days, although one could argue that height is arbitrary for a race of shapeshifters), but when all's said and done, they're still invading alien green guys with "bug eyes" and ray guns. In particular, the original version of the Skrulls look a lot like the "space goblins" from the famous 1955 Sutton family farm UFO case in Kentucky. The Captain, from Nextwave, got his powers as a gift from a pair of little green men. He then proceeded to murder them both and express dismay that he didn't get a pot of gold as a reward, having mistaken them for leprechauns. In his defense, he was exceptionally drunk at the time... but then again, that's always his defense. Discussed in Ultimate Origins. When Captain America is sent to fight in World War II, he's told that there are aliens (specifically, the Chitauri) involved. He asks if they are little green men, but no, they are not. This is probably a Mythology Gag referencing the Skrulls, above, who the Chitauri are the Ultimate Marvel counterpart of. |

Fallout 3 has a crashed flying saucer in which one of the best weapons in the game can be found near the corpse of a very small pilot. Only the head is visible, but yup — he's green. The Mothership Zeta DLC shows that he's not alone — approaching the saucer causes you to get beamed up to a bigger starship where more aliens take you hostage. | |

Star Trek: They're not smaller than humans, but the Andorians are blue-green and have antennae, apparently as a nod to this trope. An episode of Deep Space Nine is titled "Little Green Men" and features Ferengi (who are not green, but are smaller than humans) crashing in Roswell. Referenced in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Tomorrow Is Yesterday", when a 1960s pilot is accidentally transported onto the Enterprise: Later in the same episode, Kirk claims to be "a little green man from Alpha Centauri" while being interrogated by the Air Force. And of course there's the Green-Skinned Space Babe we see dancing for Captain Pike in the original pilot. It's hard to imagine that the choice of color wasn't a reference to this trope; a way of making an "Orion slave girl" look alien while still remaining a Ms. Fanservice. |

They have variably been referred to as the “Little Green Men� in Toy Story media, specifically the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV show. | |

Pokémon Black and White has Elgyem (pronounced as "L-G-M", little green man), a little green psychic alien. Fun with Acronyms, indeed. Despite that, the mon itself is actually just as close in color to gray. |

Referenced in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Tomorrow Is Yesterday", when a 1960s pilot is accidentally transported onto the Enterprise: Later in the same episode, Kirk claims to be "a little green man from Alpha Centauri" while being interrogated by the Air Force. |

The DCU: Martian Manhunter isn't little, but he's certainly green, as well as being a literal Martian. Miss Martian is a subversion, in which being green is just a form she's comfortable with; she's actually a White Martian, but chose not to follow the murderous path of her brethren. Superman's enemy Brainiac started out as one of these. Later stories made him taller and revealed him to be an android, but he was still a green guy in a Flying Saucer for many years. "Supergirl's Greatest Challenge": Supergirl meets the Chameleon Men, an alien race of short, hairless, pointy-eared, green-skinned humanoids who intend to get rid of the Legion of Super-Heroes to conquer Earth. Wonder Woman Vol 1: "Gremlins" are green fur-covered aliens with antennae that are small enough to ride on a human's shoulder. |

Futurama: While Morbo certainly isn't little (he's about the size of a well-built human), he has green skin and hates humanity. Kif and other Amphibiosans are humanoids slightly smaller than humans with green skin, no hair, and large heads and eyes. However none are hostile towards humanity. |

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The three-eyed toy aliens are even referred to as "LGMs" — Grammar Nazis notwithstanding. In the first episode, it's revealed that they share a psychic link that they call "Unimind", and their homeworld's name is a string of unpronounceable gibberish. They were retconned into "Martians". Aliens that look much more like the traditional little green men combined with the more modern greys, residing on planet Roswell, did show up later. They find the humanoid body of a small head and large torso to be "grotesque". They're at a mid-20th century level of technology, and their government tries to pass off the Ranger's crashing ship as a weather balloon, parallelling the 1947 Roswell UFO crash landing (which turned out to be a weather balloon). The episode also parodied ET when Booster befriends an alien child. |

Throughout the first two seasons of The Greatest American Hero, Bill Maxell refers to the aliens who gave Ralph Hinkley the super-suit as "the green guys". When we finally meet the alien, lo and behold, he really is green. And his spaceship is even circular, though not exactly saucer-shaped. | |

Most of the aliens from Planet 51. General Grawl is the notable exception — being roughly the same height as Chuck (a human male), he towers over the rest of his species. Then again, we have no idea how tall Chuck is among humans. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The grots deserves a mention here. They are small, green and hostile, and they are aliens. It should be noted that they are also Goblins IN SPACE so it is kinda justified, even if they are technically part of the same species as da Orkz, who are defenitely not "little". Really played for laughs in every sense, since they are the Butt Monkeys of the orks. Also worth noting that the universe has both this trope and The Greys (The Tau), which really shows a great deal of contrast between the two. | |

The Xerbians from Paperinik New Adventures are green (with purple hands) and, on average, slightly shorter than the average Earthling (this isn't readily apparent, as they are mainly seen around the much shorter Paperinik, but the rare other interactions show them), and their (rarely used) weapons are indeed Ray Guns. On the other hand they don't follow the other parts of the trope: their ships don't look like flying saucers, they aren't hostile at all, and the only mysterious part was when one of their ships, left adrift after the Evronians boarded and captured the crew, followed its programming to establish first contact to take a passing Earth ship in and the security system (damaged by the Evronians and the failure to protect the crew) put the Earthlings under cryo stasis to recreate its crew. | |

The Skrulls started out as almost completely stereotypical little green men in the second issue of Fantastic Four. They even arrived in a literal Flying Saucer, which Reed stored in the Baxter Building for years afterward. Decades of stories since then have fleshed them out a lot (and they're generally portrayed to be of human height these days, although one could argue that height is arbitrary for a race of shapeshifters), but when all's said and done, they're still invading alien green guys with "bug eyes" and ray guns. In particular, the original version of the Skrulls look a lot like the "space goblins" from the famous 1955 Sutton family farm UFO case in Kentucky. | |
