There was a Calvin and Hobbes story in which they got sick of all the littering on Earth, so they went to Mars. When they met a Martian, it ran away, terrified.
Calvin: "Why do you think the Martian hid from us?"
Hobbes: "Maybe Martians don't like Earthlings."
Calvin: "Don't like us?! What's not to like?? There's nothing wrong with Humans!"
Calvin calls to the Martian.
Calvin: "Hey, you Martian! Come on out! We're not bad! We just came here because people polluted our own planet so much that... uh... what I mean, is... um..."
Calvin thinks, and turns to Hobbes.
Calvin: "So what are you saying, that our reputation preceded us?"
Hobbes: "Would you welcome in a dog that wasn't house-trained?"

Alas, you couldn't instigate all of them, or you'd only have 1 dollar to spend on each...
