From wikipedia "The Coneheads is a sketch on Saturday Night Live which originated on the January 15, 1977 episode, and starred Dan Aykroyd as father Beldar, Jane Curtin as mother Prymaat, and Laraine Newman as daughter Connie.
The Coneheads are an alien family, natives of the planet Remulak, who find themselves stranded on Earth. When questioned by Earth neighbors as to their strange behavior, they inevitably reply that they are "from Remulak, a small town in France".
The Coneheads' most distinguishing feature is that the tops of their heads are shaped like large cones. Their unearthly appearance, however, is never strongly questioned–a point from which much of the humor was derived. "
They also had an insatiable desire for carbohydrate foods!
"Frank Zappa wrote a song based on the sketches, titled "Conehead". It appeared on his 1981 album You Are What You Is. When he hosted SNL, Zappa also appeared in a Coneheads sketch as a man dating Connie, where he makes note that he prefers Frenchwomen. "
