      I am the same. They have WAY to many videos where they cut off the ending. Newsflash! I DONT WATCH SCI FY OR HORROR TO THINK! I DONT WANT TO "FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF". I watched to be entertained, not puzzled about why there wasnt an addition 4 or 5 minutes to provide an ending. There are a few with implied endings but I am not talking about those. Where yall seem to hit the mark EVERY time is your comedy videos. You have another that I really like (along with this oe) about two brothers going to their mothers funeral... I think it is called "Friendly Vampire" but not sure. I watched "Good Guy With A Gun" and it was truely both hilarious and horrifying. Keep pumping out the comedy AND GIVE US ENDINGS TO YOUR VIDEOS! Oh, and they dont always have to have some message behind them!

    I love this! What an amazing tap dance performance! Funny too! But it’s also melancholy and a little sad. It’s the end of our world and the only things left of mankind are trivial little trinkets except for our gift of music. And the aliens discover it and understand the universal language. Can you imagine? And they find great joy in it. ❤

    This is definitely one I must put in my overall TOP 10 shorts I have watched. Now it is really tough to say what the other 9 are because I have seen so many shorts (has to be at least 300 plus) and I have seen a lot of very good ones. I also worked in the motion picture business (on the money end) for over 20 years Executive Producing films. But I don't care. This one is just an all-around exceptional short. Meets all the requirements! Also, I saw this one a couple years ago.

    After You've Gone lyrics
    After you've gone and left me cryin'
    After you've gone, there's no denyin'
    You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
    You'll miss the dearest pal you ever had
    There'll come a time, now, don't forget it
    There come a time when you'll you regret it
    Someday, when you grow lonely
    Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
    After you've gone, after you've gone away
    After I'm gone, after we break up
    After I'm gone, you're gonna wake up
    You will find that you were blind
    To let somebody come and change your mind
    After the years we've been together
    Through joy and tears, all kinds of weather
    Someday,blue and downhearted
    You'll long to be with me right back were you started
    After I'm gone, after I'm gone away

    Finding items from another culture is often times guesswork in understanding their function. Those three had absolutely no reference to the items they telephoned aboard their ship. Because the had no reference, they were often wrong in deciding the function of the item(s). Except for the music they heard being played by that jukebox.
    Would have be good to know was the cause of the destruction of the Earth; it appeared it was struck by something big.

Somehow, it all comes together with a good laugh & funny concept & great entertainment value. Very good work 👏 in my opinion.
