The Worst Name For An Alien, Ever
I've never written a script with an alien in it, so I've never had to go through the process of coming up with interesting, fresh names for space aliens.
Though if I did, I'd try hard.
But I have a feeling that some writers aren't trying hard enough.
I read a script today about an alien who comes to Earth, to try to get help for his people, who are suffering on another planet.
Now, this wasn't a comic character. The name isn't meant to get laughs.
The alien's name?

Cletus.

Cletus the slack-jawed alien.
I like it. I can't imagine why that would be used in a non-funny context.
I'm glad this wasn't, "The Worst Name For A Cab Driver, Ever"

Maybe it was an achronym for something like
Comically
Labeled
Extra
Terrestrial
Universe
Squatter
or not
Whoa. Wasn't that the name of a Dukes of Hazzard character? Like the Sheriff's sidekick?
Well, DC's The MArtian Manhunter's real name is John Jones, only it's spelled "J'onn J'onz."
Was it like, K'lee-tus?
I had an uncle named Cletus, except he spelled it Colletus. And he was pretty strange so maybe he was an alien! He died the morning of July 3 and his wife went to the town fireworks that night. More signs of alienage.
Wasn't that a lyric from Hotel California?
"Warm smell of Colletus, rising up in the air"?
Yeah. The smell was after he died...
(Sorry Suz. Sorry god. Sorry Mrs. Colletus.)
Clearly you've never heard of King Sharko of the planet Sharkos.
Touch my Cletus
Is he from planet redneck?
Is his spaceship up on blocks in the front yard?
Does he wear overalls? Even though they may be silver?
