comment
Destroy All Humans! is a 2005 Wide-Open Sandbox Action-Adventure video game developed by Pandemic Studios and published by THQ for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, and is the first game in the Destroy All Humans! franchise.Set in a satirical version of 1950s America, the story follows Cryptosporidium-137, an evil grey alien invader sent by the Furon Empire to collect human brains, harvesting their DNA to propagate his dying race. After his predecessor Cryptosporidium-136 went missing in his reconnaissance mission, Crypto has to deal with Majestic, an organization of Agents in Darkish-Brown hoping to use Furon tech to control America (and by extension, the world). Now it's up to Crypto, with the help of Orthopox-13 (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz of Invader Zim fame), to stop Majestic's plot before he can Destroy. All. Humans!

Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Pox requires Crypto to extract information about Majestic or top secrets that the U.S. Government is hiding from several humans or in one mission Holobob and impersonate the Mayor of Rockwell. Each time you kill these people before they outlive their usefulness, Pox will angrily scream that you failed the mission and you'll be beamed back to the Mothership.

 Destroy All Humans! (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Armquist is based on Douglas MacArthur. President Huffman's voice and mannerisms in his final speech are clearly based on Ronald Reagan; the remake pushes this connection even further, changing his appearance from a rather sinister-looking old doughy guy to something much closer to the Gipper◊, just with grey hair. His administration also stands in for both Eisenhower's and JFK's, having defeated Richard Nixon (referred to in-game as a "governor", not a senator) for the election at one point, and seems to universally share Nixon's crooked reputation among the population.

comment
Crypto is a Misanthrope Supreme, especially after discovering Crypto-136's corpse being experimented on, and is shocked upon discovering that Silhouette is a woman. From 2 onwards, he ends up going partially native towards human culture and he's far more sexually active as a result of gaining genitalia.

comment
Officer O'Hara: All cops (save exactly two who respond to the disturbance at the Turnipseed farm) in the first game — it doesn't matter if they're in SoCal, the Midwest, the Deep South, or Capitol City; they all have accents as thick and heavy as the Blarney stone. This gets especially amusing in the remake, which adds black models for police officers.

Roswell That Ends Well
 Destroy All Humans! (Video Game) / int_1811566c
comment
Roswell That Ends Well: Apparently, the Roswell incident resulted from a combination of US Army weapon testing and Crypto-136's saucer showing up at a very bad time. One of the areas in the game, Rockwell, is a thinly veiled parody of Roswell, but only by name, as Rockwell is a midwestern farm town. In the "Salad Days" commentary, Pox claims the town after the invasion began to respect alien culture, parodying Roswell's alien culture.

 Destroy All Humans! (Video Game) / int_262be073
comment
Lemming Cops: And soldiers, and The Men in Black. None of them have any survival instinct, no matter how many of their fellows you vaporize. Police and Majestic agents are also prone to plowing through pedestrians and fellow officers/agents with their cars and leaving a massive pile-up, which can then be used as Improvised Weapons with psychokinesis or by simply sending them up in flames with an Ion Detonator. There are also the laser-bazooka-toting Majestic agents, which often try to shoot at you while standing behind a group of their buddies.

It Works Better with Bullets: When Crypto gets his gun back in "Furon Down", he tries to shoot a hapless dock worker with it, only to find that the humans had the foresight to strip it of ammo. Naturally, this means that you're still stuck without a functioning weapon until you find some ammo or recover the power cell for the Zap-O-Matic and Anal Probe.

Clone Degeneration
 Destroy All Humans! (Video Game) / int_38326b11
comment
While Crypto and Pox's ultimate goal is to conquer Earth and harvest human brains, this has a practical purpose. The whole reason why they need human brains is, due to their ancestors being exposed to radiation in their war with Mars, the Furon species was rendered incapable of reproduction and can only survive through cloning. However, they are suffering from Clone Degeneration and need fresh Furon DNA, something humanity has in fresh supply.

Throw a Barrel at It: During Crypto's battle with General Armquist, Armquist will use his mecha suit to attack Crypto by throwing barrels of gasoline at him. Crypto can do this himself using psychokinesis, and it's a surprisingly effective One-Hit Kill against virtually all humans and even most vehicles.

No Fair Cheating: The first game has a lot of cheats, and there is no punishment for using them whatsoever (although in the developer commentary, the developers have no respect for anyone who cheats).

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Free-roaming areas is only available after finishing missions before the player returns to the Mothership, or after finishing every storyline mission in the area. From 2 onwards, the player stays in the last-visited area. Landing zones are unlocked through doing missions instead of having to do quests for Arkvoodle idols. There are very few side missions, with most of them being fairly simple races or rampage quests. Missions require DNA to be unlocked. Crypto is a Misanthrope Supreme, especially after discovering Crypto-136's corpse being experimented on, and is shocked upon discovering that Silhouette is a woman. From 2 onwards, he ends up going partially native towards human culture and he's far more sexually active as a result of gaining genitalia. Pox is far more serious here and never cracks a joke intentionally. The later games, including the remake, make him far more humorous.

Police Are Useless: The police aren't very focused on doing their jobs and daydream about their own egos and self-aspirations and walk around mindlessly just waiting for their shift to be over judging by Crypto's telepathic tapes. Their default response to spotting Crypto is to shoot at him with pistols/handguns which are no match for Crypto's detonators, flame gun and electric ray gun and also the arsenal Crypto has in the UFO.

 Destroy All Humans! (Video Game) / int_62c1f9a9
comment
Evil Versus Oblivion: Doubly-so. While Crypto and Pox's ultimate goal is to conquer Earth and harvest human brains, this has a practical purpose. The whole reason why they need human brains is, due to their ancestors being exposed to radiation in their war with Mars, the Furon species was rendered incapable of reproduction and can only survive through cloning. However, they are suffering from Clone Degeneration and need fresh Furon DNA, something humanity has in fresh supply. The reason why Crypto and Pox intend on infiltrating the US government is because it's The '50s and if they don't try to take control of things, humanity with blow itself to extinction via nuclear annihilation.

comment
Collector of Forms: Crypto can disguise himself as a human being via the Holobob, but for this to work, he actually has to copy the form of a human NPC; what makes this a little chancy is the fact that you need to be close enough to see said NPC before making the copy, meaning that they can see you as well - endangering your disguise unless you can eliminate them quickly. Plus, unless you continuously buff your power meter through thought-reading, you will lose your disguise and you'll have to copy another one.

Safely Secluded Science Center: Area 42, a thinly-disguised parody of Area 51 run by Majestic: as with the inspiration, it's a military research base hidden deep in the desert, commonly studying crashed Furon spaceships and reverse-engineering their technology. However, there's also a testing zone for nuclear weapons nearby, which comes in handy when Crypto needs to blow up part of the facility.

Stepford Smiler: Given that it's set in the late 1950s, many civilians fall under this heading, particularly the residents of Santa Modesta. Quite naturally, the suburbanites like to present themselves as flawless and content, but a quick peek at their thoughts reveals that the men only manage to suppress their psychotic rage with their collective obsession with lawnmowers and automobiles, and the Valium-addicted women are engaged in fierce and unending competition over the best home and garden, broken only by Tupperware parties and neglected children. Exactly one citizen manages to realize how miserable she really is, and in the end, she decides to drown her sorrows in cheap meaningless sex. And of course, being Crypto himself, you have the opportunity to put every last depressive one of them out of their misery in the most painful way possible.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Union Town is portrayed as a Northeastern city given the industrial atmosphere, the thick East Coast accents, the frequent references to labor agitation, and the tough guy attitudes of the locals, yet the map depicts it as being south of Capitol City. Some fans have speculated that it's supposed to be Norfolk, Virginia, as that city has a long history as a major seaport and naval base (in line with the large military presence seen in the game).

comment
Dirty Communists: While Crypto doesn't actually encounter any communists in the game, the government and Majestic cover up Crypto's attacks by blaming it on a communist invasion. The citizens eventually buy into the paranoia quickly enough and will outright call him one when he is encountered without a disguise. Crypto in the ending of the game even uses this trope — Whilst disguised as President Huffman, he informs through television that communists have polluted the water supply. This is followed by setting up testing zones in America, which in reality are Crypto's way to discreetly extract Furon DNA from the humans.

Disintegrator Ray: A series-wide weapon in Crypto's arsenal, with the game's cover art even providing the page image for the trope. Although, unlike what the cover art suggests, it's not an actual ray so much as a fully-automatic Plasma Cannon (roughly analogous to an assault rifle). Effective against virtually anything that's not a building, but because it reduces victims to charred skeletons, you understandably won't be able to extract brain stems from them.

Moral Myopia: Played for Laughs. Crypto considers the humans killing and dissecting his "brother" Cryptosporidium-136 to be an unforgivable atrocity and sees red whenever it comes up — and never mind that he's been gleefully killing humans for their brainstems all game long.

Take That!
 Destroy All Humans! (Video Game) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: The original game came out during the George W. Bush administration, and features a few jabs at his presidency. A scientist responsible for Tampering with Food and Drink in Santa Modesta remarks that 78% of those affected with the Hate Plague are registering Republican. One of the things that you can get from reading the mind of a soldier is the wish that they'd chosen to join the Texas Air National Guard, because it sounds like an easy assignment.

comment
Guilt-Based Gaming: Combined with a variant of Idle Animation. If you linger around the Mothership's menu while doing nothing at all, Orthopox will make snarky comments to the player about leaving him waiting. None of it is harsh, however, as Orthopox is just guilting you over leaving it running whilst not actually playing the system, and Orthopox's responses are actually pretty funny.

Evil Gloating: Discussed in the final mission, where Pox tells Crypto to try not to gloat too much when accepting the United States' surrender. He gets in a sentence or two before Silhouette presses his Berserk Button. Later, when Roboprez is defeated, Silhouette gets into Pox and Crypto's communications channel and notes that they're probably gloating at that moment.

Tank Goodness: Borders on Tanks for Nothing. Tanks are among the few enemies able to pose a threat to Crypto's saucer, but can be destroyed very quickly by the saucer's weapons. However, they're much more threatening on foot, as Crypto takes heavy damage from their main guns and can't fight back well against them until he gets the Ion Detonator.

Cassandra Truth: General Armquist rallies the leaders of the other military branches to try and unite them against the Furons. Crypto has to disguise himself as one and discredit him in front of the rest. If you fail to do so, either by picking the wrong dialogue options or just flat out revealing yourself, Armquist can actually call in support from the other military branches during his boss battle.

comment
Lightning Gun: Crypto's starting weapon, the trusty Zap-O-Matic. It fires a continuous beam of lightning that's very effective against humans (a zap from a full charge is enough to kill even Majestic agents as long as you keep the beam trained on them the whole time), and can be upgraded to chain to enemies near the target. It does also damage vehicles, but does it so slowly you're better off with most of his other weapons for destroying them.

Deceased Fall-Guy Gambit: After Armquist is slain by Crypto, there is a need to, without revealing the truth, explain the chaos in Union Town, and the zealous attempts of both Armquist and the Furons to eliminate the other. The obedient and hyper-patriotic Armquist is accused of a coup attempt in the newspapers.

Housewife: The main female pedestrian encountered around Santa Modesta, though several appear outside of the area in the remake. A majority of them appear to hate each other, despise their work, have deeply-repressed lesbian/bisexual urges, and are mostly Valium addicts. They wear outfits such as dressing gowns, hair curlers, and aprons tied around their waist, and in the original game, all have a permanent grin.

Historical In-Joke: reading the minds of some of the soldiers, one of them will say: "Audie Murphy's a pussy. Now, John Wayne, that's a man's man." The joke being is that the soldier's admiration is ironic or misinformed, as Murphy became the most decorated soldier of W.W.2 (as told in his memoir turned movie, To Hell and Back), while Wayne, who despite starring in films like The Fighting Seabees and Sands of Iwo Jima, never served in the armed forces.
