Dray zaps a turkey.

Dray owns a ray gun which is capable of transforming people and objects. In the scenes that were shown, Dray was seen using it to make a cooked turkey get up and dance, and to transform a neighbor man into a girl alien in a prom dress, with whom he then started dancing.

Theme Song Lyrics

There once was an alien, his mother called him Dray, from the fanciest planet in the Milky Way. Stoles (sic) that ship, took it for a trip, Saw Lake Erie on his radar and he thought he'd take a dip!

Behind the Laughter

• UpscAlien in da House is a parody of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
• The show also spoofs ALF, a 1980s sitcom about an alien who crash-lands on Earth and moves in with a human family.
• "UpscAlien" is a portmanteau of "upscale" and "alien".
• "UpscAlien" might also be a pun on "rapscallion", which is a term for a naughty or rougish person. It would be a fair characterization of Dray, considering that he stole his father's spaceship and uses his ray gun to transform things for his personal amusement.
