I wish my Aliens called humans “Earth scum” more. It lent a certain flavor.
At this point in 1997, Friends was beginning its fourth season. In case you want to feel old.

Hey, if my favorite show was on, I’d let my captive go too.
Well at least they didn’t leave him tied there while they forgot about him.
You know, even as the tone got darker and darker and darker, these aliens never stopped being ridiculous.
That’s part of what I loved about it. Head Alien just might be my favorite villain in the history of ever.
He was somehow simultaneously a huge joke who couldn’t possibly be threatening to anyone ever, and the most terrifying being in the world.
The time he said “Say the magic word?” Right?
…Maybe I’m alone in this. 😛
“Dinky spork banana!”
Nah, I get you.
Yeah, he’s definitely up there on my list. Honestly, he probably even beats out Metal Face (Xenoblade) on the “fun, hateable villains”-ometer!
I hereby promise to call someone “Earth scum” tomorrow, just to see what sort of reaction I get.
…They couldn’t just leave him there for half an hour?
And what if he started talking over it? Let’s be reasonable here!
That’s what ball gags are for. Or an awesomely technologically advanced Alien equivalent. Though I guess these guys left home without their gags.
No one told them Earth was gonna be this way.
*clapclap-clapclapclapclap*
They said duct tape was on sale, I’m sure they could spare another piece.
That sounds like a needlessly elaborate plan when they could just kick back and enjoy their show!
The Aliens do things on a schedule, you see.
04:30-05:00 – Abduction time.
05:00-08:00 – Abductee torture time.
08:00-09:00 – Friends time
09:00-04:00 – Crop circles! WHEEE!
So it seems Joe was spared The Sound of Music… and doesn’t get any superpowers for his trouble?
[other than super NERD powers]
No, no. They usually only put those in the smaller children. Besides, there’s not enough time for a mind-wipe. They have to watch Friends!
Huh, I was four in 1997, I never knew that Friends started the year I was born…clearly this is the message that I was supposed to get from this strip.
I was 8 in 1997.
I was 12. Well, for most of it I was 11, but for the last couple months, I was 12! 😛
I was 32 in 1997, and had not yet started watching ‘Friends’. I was hooked on enough shows that I actively avoided new shows…
understanding the everlasting bab-itude of jennifer anniston, they are intelligent life forms
