Why does she scream at the egg plant?


Lol I was watching this movie and when she's in the grochery store she starts screaming at the eggplants and then she picks one up and walks away laughing with it. I couldn't stop laughing because it was both hilarious and confusing. Anyone know why? or is it just supposed to be unknown?

Don't listen to the stupid "baby Coneheads" theory. We saw when Connie was born that they are flesh-colored and have a normal humanoid body.

She screamed because she thought the store was selling decapitated Coneheads.

Exactly. I thought that was pretty obvious, it's shaped exactly like a severed conehead's head.

Some of the best comedy doesn't have to make sense or even have an explanation. The eggplant certainly has the general shape of the families heads. But we don't really know why Prymatt is screaming. I think this is why its funny. The viewer can make up their own reasons.

But clearly she realizes its not what she thought, grabs one, smiles and takes it back to her grocery cart.

Yadda yadda yadda <- this is my signature

I thought she thought they were dead coneheads or something

I LOVE that scene at the supermarket, Prymatt being shocked about the Eggplants, then picks one up and begins to laugh :-)
