Added DiffLines:

A pair of Russian [=VIP=]s come to America, leaving their guide, Mr. Harris, at his wits' end as they reject everything he shows them as a government setup. Determined to see how an average American family lives, they stick a pin in the phone book at random...and strike the Addams family mansion.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* BluffingTheAdvanceScout: A non-alien example; the diplomats come to see the Addamses, thinking that they're a normal American family. When they discover that they have very unusual and powerful servants and that Pugsley has built a DisintegratorRay, they believe Americans are so incredibly smart and dangerous that they must make peace. It's a great relief to Mr. Harris, who was afraid the trip would destroy relations with Russia.
* BridalCarry: Lurch picks up Mr. Harris in his arms when Gomez tells him to take him to the guest room.
* CassandraTruth: Mr. Harris keeps trying to tell the diplomats the truth -- the Addamses are as far as possible from the average American family and every creepy being in their house is what it appears to be, not a robot. However, the Russians keep thinking that he's trying to keep the truth about America secret.
* CensorshipBySpelling: Morticia says that her plant Cleopatra isn't very "S-M-A-R-T."
* CrushingHandshake: Thing shakes Mr. Klane's hand and causes him a lot of pain with his iron grip. Morticia passes it off as Thing [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength not knowing how powerful he is.]]
* DecisionDarts: The diplomats decide where to go at random, by sticking a pin in the phonebook. Naturally, they hit the Addams' address, much to Mr. Harris' dismay.
* DoubleTake: Mr. Haan examines the two-hreaded turtle, but it takes him a bit to notice the second head.
* SecurityCling: Mr. Klane and Mr. Haan grab ahold of each other when Gomex rings the gong.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Two Russian diplomats pinpoint the random location from a phonebook using their pin then the scene cuts to Morticia who felt as if she was struck by a pin.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: When the diplomats see Cleopatra, they assume she must be a robot rather than an intelligent plant. The leader comments that Americans must have more knowledge than they thought if a mere woman can put together such an astonishing contraption.
