A look back at the creation and debut of the classic 'Saturday Night Live' characters the Coneheads.

Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin and Larraine Newman will reprise their roles as The Coneheads as part of State Farm's efforts to generate attention.

After all, as a sketch, the Coneheads weren’t exactly classic stuff and it’s difficult to believe anyone is going to rush to the film out of fond nostalgia for what was basically a one-trick pony.

With 16 members of the Saturday Night Live cast, Coneheads holds the record for featuring the most in one movie.
