    Storyline

    Edit
    ALF decides to try ventriloquism. He gets a dummy whom he names Paul. And Paul is obnoxious and drives everyone crazy. Not knowing what to so, they ask the psychiatrist who knows about ALF to come and hopefully tell them what's going on with ALF and Paul. —rcs0411@yahoo.com

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Fusco and the writing staff made an in-joke as "Paul" and its derivatives (for example, son-of-a-Paul) on Melmac the worst name to address to anyone. Therefore, ALF christened it to his "evil", ventriloquist dummy.
    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the closing credits of episode, Alf is heard laughing.

    Alf is funny when he becomes a ventriloquist but the dummy is a bit of a jerk
