One of ALIEN's Most Terrifying Scenes Reimagined in Sitcom Form

Ridley Scott's Alien is one of the best and most influential science fiction films of all time, expanding on George Lucas' thought in Star Wars that not everything has to be all shiny and new in space: it's OK (and some might even say better) for environments to feel dinged up and lived in, instead of having the vibe that some set designer just took everything out of its box for the first time. Alien is essentially a movie about blue collar space truckers, and the way Scott had the alien as an unseen threat, always lurking in the shadows, made the reveals of the xenomorph all the more terrifying.

One of the film's most iconic scenes is the famous "chestburster" sequence. If you know the film, you know it well — and if you've seen Spaceballs, you'll probably remember the hilarious send-up of that sequence that takes place in a diner. Now YouTuber tvmastermandude has added some sitcom sound effects to the original Alien scene, as well as one quick subtitle that serves as a diss of one of TV's most popular current sitcoms. Check it out below, and then watch this in-depth video about the scene and see a mechanism test used for the production:
