I recently watched episode 1 of the show Resident Alien on Netflix and this show had me laughing out loud. It's about an extraterrestrial that crash lands on Earth in the mountains close to a small town. The extraterrestrial then disguises himself as a doctor that lives outside of town named Harry.
The extraterrestrial initially hangs out in a small house watching Law & Order episodes in order to learn how to blend in with humanity. Later in the show he is asked to help with a dead body since the town thinks he's a doctor. He begrudgingly drives into town to help with the autopsy. He's pretty awkward since he is indeed an extraterrestrial and it's really entertaining to watch him interact with the humans in the town. At one point, someone calls him a douchebag, which he has to look up online. That scene was funny.
The extraterrestrial then decides to get drinks with a townsperson after the autopsy in order to "fit in" with the townspeople. He ends up getting hammered and starts dancing on the dance floor. While I was watching this scene, I kept thinking "OMG this is definitely what I looked like during most of my 20s and early 30s." Thank god I quit alcohol is all I can say.
Resident Alien is not meant to educate on the topic of real extraterrestrials so don't take it too seriously. It's just meant for fun and humor. This show really had me laughing so hard. I don't think I've laughed that hard since I watched the movie, The Wrong Missy which is a David Spade movie, also on Netflix. Definitely watch that as well if you are looking for a laugh.
Laughing like this is so important. There is nothing on this planet that increases our vibration like laughing out loud to something silly. If you ever feel like skipping a meditation, then find something that makes you laugh instead. It's just as significant.
