Martians Go Home is a 1990 comedy film starring Randy Quaid. It was directed by David Odell and written by Charles S. Haas based on the novel by science fiction author Fredric Brown.[1][2]

Quaid plays a song writer who accidentally invites a billion Martians (all portrayed by stand-up comedians from the late eighties and early nineties) to planet Earth.

These Martians become a nuisance to the planet by constantly playing practical jokes and refusing to allow anyone to get away with lying or deception of any kind.
