A pompous alien lands in your yard


A pompous alien lands in your yard and starts bragging about how advanced his planet's culture is. You tell him that we've done some great things here, too, and he just laughs at you. You decide to immerse him in a bit of our world's culture to prove him wrong. How do you do it?

1.The one food you give him to eat:
And while he eats:
2.The two songs you play in the background:
3.The material you give him to wear:

In other words, what's the best of our world's best? (Note: These might not all be your personal favorite things, but the things he's most likely to perceive as impressive.)

Me:
1. Filet mignon Oscar
2. Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th symphony and Led Zeppelin Kashmir
3. Velvet

Just another Saturday night for you, then.

PRETTY SURE I AM GONNA BEAT HIM TOO DEATH AND TAKE HIS SPACE TREASURES....I SUPPOSE I MIGHT NUKE HIM A HOT POCKET FIRST....THE HOT MEATS AND CHEESES WILL DISTRACT HIM LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET THE UPPER HAND.

reply

πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ Well, I suppose if you're going to beat him to death it won't matter that he'll probably look down on us for our Hot Pockets.

reply

Uh...if he thinks he's so great, what's he doing on a backwater planet like this?

reply

Because he thinks it will be easy to prove his superiority? I don't know. Ask him.

reply

I'd ask him to show me what his planet looked like, and if he knew about other races in the galaxy too. I'd also ask if his people were still free, even with the advanced tech. There have been cases (in sci-fi stories) where despite their advanced tech, some aliens realized, after visiting earth, that maybe they weren't so superior after all, particularly where freedom is concerned. Others lived up to the hype.

I’ll put that pompous Martian in his place with

1. McDonalds
2. Nicki Minaj
3. A pair of crocks

He will leave disgusted and I will have single handedly prevented an alien invasion and will be crowned lifetime president of the earth. I will also send Elon back with him and everyone will be happy. The end.

I'll add saving mankind to my reasons that I love you.

Aw lemons… love you too x

I just watched an amusing movie that most people never heard of called "Jules" which had a similar plot.

Normally, I would link the trailer, but they reveal the entire plot in it so avoid the trailer.

Movie is quirky, funny, original and interesting. 9/10.

Thank you for the recommendation! πŸ˜ƒ

You can't go about this lightly. You have to suss out what he thinks are technological advances and what his tastes in food and music are before presenting any of the answers. Could be that a lighter or a yo-yo would impress him, could be that the most advanced technology would bore him. Maybe he'd like Inception and maybe he'd be into Asian Babes vol II lol it really depends on what you find out first.

reply

I'll call you if this ever happens. I may need your help.

reply

Ok, happy to be on the pompous alien support team.

reply

Pomposity is expected. Pretentiousness is not.

reply

What page is that on in the Alien Etiquette Handbook?

reply

Well if they're putting on airs it's all an act. But of course they'll consider themselves superior to us.
