The Coneheads are about a family of aliens with bald conical heads. They first appeared in eleven episodes of Saturday Night Live (SNL). They also appeared as the three main protagonists in the TV cartoon series and the 1993 film of the same name.

In popular culture

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the USA Hockey Team featured a line nicknamed after the sketch. The so-called Coneheads Line was formed by John Harrington, Mark Pavelich and Buzz Schneider. This nickname was coined by assistant coach Craig Patrick, in reference to their chemistry on ice, and favoured by the Coach Brooks. Together with Team Russia, they gained world fame for beating the USSR and winning the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics.
As of late May 2015, State Farm Insurance created a Coneheads version of its commercial "State of Unrest," in which Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin reprise their Coneheads roles and put a Coneheads spin on the original commercial that features a husband calling the State Farm 24 hour policy line, while his wife is sure he's talking to his mistress despite his protests that he is talking to State Farm. A second Conehead State Farm commercial is set on their spaceship. When the microwave breaks, the Coneheads (Aykroyd, Curtin and Newman) invoke their State Farm representative by singing the company's jingle. The agent assures them they saved money on their policy, but then notices they are in space and not in France, where the Coneheads are supposedly from, so the Coneheads sing the jingle again and they all end up sitting at a table outside a French bistro, with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
The Coneheads are the fourth SNL sketch to appear in State Farm commercials, following the Richmeister, the Super Fans, and Hans and Franz.
Due to the similar shape of their heads, Decepticon seekers Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet are referred to as Coneheads within the Transformers fandom.
