Having watched PHJ's link, I now strongly approve of this joke.

Here's a shot at doing all three. Absolutely no new material ahoy:

Quote:
Mothership: *LOOMS*

SETI Computer: You've got mail!
Supervisor: Oh, great. More prawns?
SETI Guy: No. The signal is coming from inside the house!
Everyone: GASP!
SETI Guy: Just kidding. Actually, the signal is coming from the Moon!

SecDef: A signal? From the moon? Is it the whalers? The whalers on the moon? I hate those guys.
Military Guy:: Uh, no. There ain't no whales on the moon.
SecDef: Are you sure? They carry harpoons you know. I'm not tellin' tall tales. The whalers on the moon.
Military Guy:: Will you stop saying that!
Alternate Ending:

Military Guy: Stop singing! Christ, and I thought this ended after "Let The Eagle Soar."

...which, of course, refers to the most comedic moment of the Bush Administration.

Yep, but they totally made up for it with that time Dubya launched into U2.

Looks fine to me, Wowbagger.

I think that's a pretty good edit.

I wonder if anyone ever says "Get me the Prime Minister of Canada!" in a dramatic movie voice?

^I imagine the Queen does, on occasion.

Also, I was thinking of ripping out part of the Flash Gordon film for the opening. Specifically, the part which goes something like this:

Dr. Zarkoff: Quick, check the angular vector of the moon!
Assistant: It's off by 18 degrees.
Dr. Zarkoff: Just as I thought: alien interference!

(Intersperse with Ming's evil laughter to taste).

Not that the current opening isn't great.

Question

Well, if nobody wants to propose a way of editing that into what we've got, I think we've got this block pretty well wrapped up. Agreed? Disagreed?

I'll go with that. We should definitely keep in mind Flash Gordon for later scenes though - the idea has much potential.

To be honest, I couldn't find a very satisfactory way to fit the idea into the existing scene, so that sounds great to me.

I love Flash Gordon. And I love Valium's plan. We will need some Flash later, and I say this even though I am a huge HTML5 partisan.

I'm satisfied with the current block 2-1, as well.

You know, ultimately, I didn't vote for McCain for his policy positions, or his experience, or because of the medals he won for heroism in the Boer War.

I voted McCain because of that time Barack Rick Rolled me.
