they may hail from out of this world but
they still have to follow some sort of
logic ok he’s a ball shin Ian

welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
dumbest alien weaknesses in movies and
TV
for this list we’re scouring all of
science fiction to locate the most
ridiculous things that aliens have been
vulnerable to in film and television
this is for Hannah
you thought kryptonite was bad you ain’t
seen nothing yet
number 10 salt first wave little salt
Agassi does a trick every time this
Canadian sci-fi series established the
power of the gua from the beginning
these aliens came to earth captured
humans for their experiments and made
plans to take over the world the
experiment as you know was a test of
human will in the face of cruel
adversity therefore it’s surprising to
learn that one of their weaknesses is
the commonly found mineral we know as
salt the Gua can become addicted to salt
much like humans can become addicted to
drugs
watching the Gua be harmed by a simple
mineral makes it hard to feel threatened
by them better than in chunk at least
now we know that if they ever invade
earth in real life all we need to do is
carry around a salt shaker huh
what do you think pepper would do salt
is for us what heroin is for them have
you tried it number 9 high-pitched sound
and a slingshot 2001 a space travesty
this sci-fi spoof isn’t exactly a
shining star on Leslie Nielsen’s resume
but one specific alien death takes the
camp eNOS to the next level the solution
is
[Music]
it’s a story jam-packed with aliens
terrorists clones and for some reason
the Three Tenors
in an on-stage kerfuffle between marshal
dick dicks and some of the baddies dicks
ends up hitting Pavarotti where the Sun
don’t shine and the resulting high note
is enough to hurt anyone’s ears however
it does more than that to be a lien
holding the giant weapon she’s
transformed from her human form back to
her extraterrestrial appearance and is
sent floating around the theater that
leaves the alien vulnerable to the
slingshot attack that ultimately sends
it packing number eight crotch shots the
watch I know we tried to find a killer
but that’s what we found a freaking
alien this critically panned comedy
finds a suburban neighborhood watch
trying to stop an alien invasion
obviously one two three never in their
quest the crew ultimately discovers that
the aliens brains are located in the
most unlikely of places their crotches
alright that’s the only way to kill us
severe trauma to the dick that’s where
our brains are naturally this gives them
permission to hit below the belt
watching the group tear aliens genitals
off is cringe inducing to say the least
and funny in a nine-year-old boy kind of
way we guess but for that to be the
vulnerability that ultimately fells an
extraterrestrial race is silly we’ve
heard of thinking with your
you-know-what but this is just
ridiculous Oh their weakness is their
dick their Achilles heel is in their
dicks number seven an ecstasy like drug
the faculty nod love drugs in this world
one of the less successful teen horror
flicks of the 90s despite its
star-studded cast the faculty throws
some sci-fi into the mix in an attempt
to truly terrifying on putting that
ah got my nose so 80s aliens are taking
over the earth weird aliens are in
control of an Ohio high school and it’s
up to a diverse group of students to
stop them isn’t a human body composed
mainly of water they’re using us drying
us out leave it to the stoner kid to
figure out that the aliens need water to
survive and that if they inject them
with his homemade ecstasy like drug
they’ll dry up and die
drugs diuretic dries it out kills it the
best part the teens decide that to
decipher which of them is an alien they
have to take the drug themselves hey
movie studios whatever happened to the
don’t do drugs message open the door
number six hits to the Z logo Mighty
Morphin Power Rangers in season two of
Power Rangers the putty patrollers are
seen as strong threatening and nearly
invincible you’d think that these aliens
would have a weakness that’s really
difficult to get at right think again
the Rangers find that all it takes is a
hit to the Z emblem on their chest armor
for these clay warriors to explode into
pieces great as a result the putty
patrollers are actually very easy to
defeat that’s kind of a major design
flaw don’t you think especially
considering these are supposed to be
Lords Ed’s upgraded version of Rita
repulses foot soldiers a weakness this
well week certainly doesn’t make for the
most entertaining television oh man
Tommy Fatah number 5 head and shoulders
evolution head and shoulders the
dandruff shampoo yeah that’s the stuff
think of a few things you could use to
kill an alien did shampoo even come
close to popping into your head no well
maybe you should think outside the box
[Applause]
the humans in this sci-fi comedy
certainly do when they realize that Head
& Shoulders uses selenium disulfide as
an ingredient and that could be
poisonous to the nitrogen-based aliens
the active ingredient is selenium
sulfide how do you know that you don’t
know anything there’s a fancy movie
justification involving the periodic
table and the poisonous relationship
between arsenic and carbon-based
life-forms on earth blah blah blah
selenium selenium could be as lethal to
them as arsenic is to us but we think
the simplest explanation for this
weakness is two words product placement
I am happy to report but absolutely all
remaining traces of the alien menace
have now been eradicated using the
selenium sample formula developed right
here
number four computer virus Independence
Day
virus
there I do
through Independence Day aliens plan a
massive attack on earth by strategically
placing flying saucers in major cities
and even enacting a force field around
their entire mothership so what could
possibly bring down such an obviously
technologically advanced race a frigging
computer virus if we plant a virus into
that mothership it’s gonna then filter
down into all corresponding ships below
with a plan to use a Mac laptop to
infect the mothership computer expert
David Levinson and volunteer pilot
captain Hiller head to their target
during which time the aliens force field
is destroyed and the humans attacked the
ship with missiles easy as pie do sir
he’s uploading the virus of course now
that they fended off the aliens Apple
rules the world maybe for the sequel the
aliens will finally get Norton AntiVirus
if people don’t wear jackets they could
get cold a cold is caused by a virus of
fire if a computer virus we could make a
computer virus and send it to their ship
to disable their computers that doesn’t
make any goddamn sense number three
sunlight battleship we took Penelope to
the beach one time which was a terrible
idea went absolutely crazy because she
can’t handle the sunlight you see and I
don’t think that they can handle the
sunlight either after aliens come to
earth and capture three warships in a
force field the people on the USS John
Paul Jones must find a way to defeat
them men aliens in their force fields
that’s the John Paul Jones right yes sir
eventually the humans discover that the
aliens simple but crucial weakness is
something as readily available as
sunlight as you can imagine this makes
them extremely vulnerable to attacks
while they’re on earth for example in
one scene the crew shoots out the alien
ships windows which blinds the aliens
and disorient them talk about an easy
shot hey the movies based on a board
game did you really expect something
highly complex vitamin
number two flammable atmosphere
Battlefield Earth destroying a bombs now
we’re never bombs can cause serious
damage to a large area yes
now we’re not bomb technicians or
engineers or scientists or anything but
we figure saying that a nuclear bomb can
destroy an entire planet is pretty
preposterous leave it to this classic
bad movie for a single nuclear explosion
caused by an atomic bomb in this
particular example to make the planet go
bye-bye
the explanation is some highly
scientific albeit outdated one about the
atmosphere of the Psychlo planet
reacting with the radiation and thus
exploding to smithereens
radiation be actually the planet’s
atmosphere it’s enough there to destroy
forever
logical not according to today’s science
you’d expect more from a story written
by a Scientologist
letmego has our planet detonates a
weapon before we reveal our top pick
here are some honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions blackery children
I cannot take the left room children
I surrender you win the dead
[Music]
[Music]
from the moment the invaders arrived
breathe our air ate and drank they were
doomed
they were undone destroyed after all of
man’s weapons and devices had failed by
the tiniest creatures that God and His
wisdom put upon this earth number one
water signs I heard a theory that they
don’t like places near water before M
night Shyamalan s career went down the
toilet he made a few thrilling films
that were well received by audiences
signs for the most part was a
suspenseful movie about discovering an
alien invasion however at the end of the
movie the aliens were infamously
defeated by water of all things
[Music]
did the aliens not notice when they were
plotting a course for our planet that
most of the earth is covered in the
stuff that’s almost as absurd as having
trouble with pantry doors I don’t have
portal to anything because they seem to
have trouble with pantry doors this
seemingly gaping plot hole
notwithstanding audiences and critics
seem to like the story I don’t think I
like water do you agree with our list
what do you think is the dumbest alien
weakness for more exciting top 10s

greatest save of all time
