* In ''[[http://laststopcomic.com Last Stop]]'', Blurg fits this trope, although he's only the supporting character, an assistant to Klunk (who's a big blue seven-eyed slug).

* In the [[http://www.8legged.com/ Deep Fried Live]] episode "[[http://www.8legged.com/DeepFriedLive/DFL01_07.html Fleeb Cooks A Cow]]", Chef Tako is kidnapped by an LGM who wants to learn... how to cook a cow. He's not hostile or mysterious, instead being rather friendly if a bit too fond of [[AnalProbing probing]].

* Referred to in ''DestroyAllHumans!''

* The title character of ''AlienHominid'', though, he is actually Yellow.

* The alien family in ''[[{{Banjo-Kazooie}} Banjo-Tooie]]''.

* ''DanDare'''s arch-enemy, The Mekon.

* ''MarsAttacks''

* ''SpacedInvaders''

* Yoda from ''StarWars''.

* The point of the ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' is to get three of these into space [[VideogameCrueltyPotential or spiral into the ground.]]

Since the Mariner and Viking probes of TheSixties, they've been slowly replaced by TheGreys in serious works. Basically done for comedy now.

** Rodians also qualify, as they have green skin, and their face resembles an insect. They even have antennae.

A formerly common depiction of aliens, now a DiscreditedTrope. They're green, they pilot {{Flying Saucer}}s, and they're smaller than a human. The degree of "little" varies widely; they may be only a head or so shorter than people, or they may be small enough to pick up in one hand. They commonly have antennae.

* The point of the ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' is to get three of these into space [[spoiler: [[VideogameCrueltyPotential or spiral into the ground.]]]]

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', "'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky", Frink has a brief encounter with such an alien. There is also Ozmodiar, a parody of the Great Gazoo from ''TheFlintstones''.

* Parodied in DianeDuane's ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novel, ''Spock's World''--a tabloid newspaper reports that Spock's mother, Amanda, has married a little green man. (As a Vulcan, Sarek has green blood and a slightly green complexion.) Amanda tells reporters at a press conference, "There is nothing little about my husband." Even [[TheStoic Sarek]] cracks up once the context is fully explained.

* Martians in ''VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}}.

''TakeMeToYourLeader.''

* Aliens designed and coloured in this vein comprise the invading alien force of ''LEGOAlienConquest'', as part of its AffectionateParody take on 1950s science-fiction tropes.

* Parodied in ''RockyAndBullwinkle'' with Gidney and Cloyd, the moon men.

* ''MartinMystery''
* WesternAnimation/ZulaPatrol: Bula.

* Pat Mallet's ''Petits hommes verts''[[hottip:*:which literally translates to LittleGreenMen]] are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin small, green, male]], [[MarsNeedsWomen horny]] and quite charming towards the ladies. Whether or not [[IComeInPeace they came in peace]] depends on if you're a woman or her husband.

* Referred to in ''DestroyAllHumans!'' "I am not green!"

* Throughout the first two seasons of ''TheGreatestAmericanHero'', Bill Maxell refers to the aliens who gave Ralph Hinkley the super-suit as "the green guys." When we finally meet the alien, lo and behold, he really ''is'' green. And his spaceship is even circular, though not exactly saucer-shaped.

* Pat Mallet's ''Petits hommes verts''[[hottip:*:which literally translates to LittleGreenMen]] are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin small, green, male]], [[MarsNeedsWomen horny]] and quite charming towards the ladies. Whether or not [[IComeInPeace they came in peace]] [[YourMilageMayVary depends on]] if you're a woman or her husband.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' SpinOff ''BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', the three-eyed toy aliens are even referred to as "[=LGMs=]"--{{Grammar Nazi}}s notwithstanding. In the first episode it's revealed that they share a psychic link that they call "Unimind", and their homeworld's name is a string of unpronounceable gibberish.

* ''MarsAttacks!''

** I believe that was {{Ret Con}}ned into "Martians."
