The Coneheads was an animated series pilot created by the team of Rankin/Bass in 1983. Like the 1993 film of the same name, it was based on the Saturday Night Live sketches featuring the titular characters. It was never picked up for air, but can be viewed online.The plotline is very similar to the early part of the 1993 Coneheads film. It depicts Beldar and Prymatt's ship crash landing on Earth, the couple's discovery that they can't be rescued for a while, their settling in on Earth, and the birth of their daughter, Connie. After a visit from their neighbors, the husband of whom thinks the Coneheads are very strange, the pair get a visit by an IRS agent with some questions about their tax history. He quickly leaves after finding out they're 'illegal aliens'.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This work contains examples of:

Laugh Track: Mirroring the live-action version, it also uses applause.

Not in Front of the Kid: When the neighbors bring over a 'coffee ring', a kind of cake, Beldar says this, believing it to be an 'edible sensor ring', a part of their species' lovemaking, and therefore inappropriate for Connie to see.
