From the original Ridley Scott horror movie through the more action-genre hijinks of James Cameron‘s Aliens, quasi-arthouse leanings of Alien 3 and whatever-that-was Prometheus — not to mention Alien: Resurrection and the Aliens Vs. Predator movies — 20th Century Fox’s Alien franchise has been through a lot of changes in its long history. However, it has never been a straight-up comedy — until now.
Created by Dorks of Yore — a YouTube channel featuring the work of Mad TV‘s Pat Kilbane and The New in Living Color‘s Melissa McQueen — Aliens: The Sitcom suggests that Cameron’s Aliens had been such a success in 1986 that it was spun off into primetime sitcom Hosts, with (as you’d expect) “hilarious consequences.”
