"I'm Xenu, bitch!"
(you knew that was coming)

No because thats all the Aliens think that we can handle.

I think for the purposes of this skit, such as they are, a non-stereotypical alien would have been unnecessarily distracting

god
I've seen that SAME alien in every show on comedy central at least three times!

his name is always something like "zork" or "bibble".
c'mon! why not names like Xct'Acrtonaer IIIV huh!?

Go with ye ole standby: It's Spielberg's fault!

The alien sounds like my xBox. Ever leave the Xbox one on with no disk playing? It makes sounds just like that.

(Note: this clip should be problem-free.)

Indeed it was. And if aliens truly are responsible for my Xbox, I wonder if Microsoft will still honor the three year warranty when it red rings (because it will red ring eventually.) Or when I call, will the rep tell me to "talk to Bibble about it."

@Bluecell: Good to know, thanks! That's a huge help... I think the problem is just with this computer which I've been using to make clips, and hopefully the new computer will solve the problem. Thanks again!

@Mathmos:
i concur dr. mathmos

Good stuff, io9!

They would give us Verizon and xbox.. if they were out to kill us!!

also, I would call that alien sterotypical.

I would call him totally gangsta, though.

You know, I'm sorry, but this won't stand. Bibble happens to be extended family of mine - on my mom's side. And you know, that's just the way Bibble is.

Have we gotten to the point that just because certain aspects of who a person is happen to be consistent with stereotype that the person has to change who he/she/Bibble is just so you won't be uncomfortable?

Bibble is a person just like you and me - except for the Nebulon 5 and not a person part - but! Bibble bleeds just...well, actually that's another story entirely.

In any case, I would still encourage you to be who you are, and lay off the Bibble, fo shizzle.

This is a comedy skit not SciFi. It really shouldn't bother you that much. I saw it when it was first aired and thought it was funny and watching it now I still think its funny.

Microsoft = Proof that some Aliens are evil
Google = Proof that some Aliens are good

@Mrrix32: Except that Google is, in fact, evil.

AT&T... actually stands for AT-AT...

Consider your minds blown...

@Metropolis: I hope that he's really upset about it. That would be the funniest thing ever.

I have always hated that space-aliens-as-inventors theory. And that is ignoring the improbability of aliens finding our plant, concealing their existance, and then messing around with our society. The person who believes that has lost all faith in humanity, not as a moral force, but as an intellectual force. It is pretty much saying that we are all too stupid to invent things without the help of extraterrestrials.

Then they believe that the Government would be capable of masterminding a conspiracy so grand that almost nobody believes it exists, again showing that humanity is stupid and the government would not be able to do this without the super-advanced technology the aliens have given us that they don't share.

I spit on them, their beliefs, and one day on their graves. I normally would not do so, but their conspiracy theory offends me that much. THEY know the truth, we are all just stupid, ignorant dirtapes. /angrysemi-psychoticrant

*cough*
I love that skit.

I dunno about you, but the iPhone is amazing.

Bibble fo Shizzle my Nizzle.
