Sci fi comedy movies for the extraterrestrial laughs

In a galaxy far, far away…

In this cosmic adventure, we'll explore films that take the ordinary, toss it into a wormhole, and send it hurtling through the comedic cosmos. From zany aliens and outrageous interstellar mishaps to parodies that lovingly spoof our favorite sci-fi classics, these movies offer a blend of humor that's as diverse as the galaxies themselves.

Men in Black

This movie's got more neuralyzers than you can shake a futuristic stick at! Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are like the cool, sunglass-wearing uncles who handle all the pesky alien paperwork so we don't have to. They make dealing with extraterrestrial riffraff look like a walk in the cosmic park.

Paul

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost take a road trip through the American Southwest and stumble upon a lovable stoner alien, voiced by none other than Seth Rogen. Paul's got an appetite for Reese's Pieces and a knack for cracking jokes that are, shall we say, "out of this world."

Galaxy Quest

It's like "Star Trek" meets a Renaissance Fair, and it's glorious! Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman play actors from a cheesy space show who are mistaken for actual space heroes by some hilariously naive aliens. Get ready for plenty of "By Grabthar's Hammer, you shall be avenged!" moments.

Spaceballs

In the distant future, they still have combing the desert, giant pizza orders, and ludicrous speed! Mel Brooks goes full-tilt parody mode, with Dark Helmet, Lone Starr, and the Schwartz. Prepare to laugh until you feel the call of "Mawg! Half-man, half-dog... I'm my own best friend."

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

When the Earth gets demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass, you know you're in for a wild ride. Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect embark on a quest filled with towels, Vogons, and the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Mars Attacks!

Tim Burton takes alien invasion to a whole new level of campy craziness. These Martians have a thing for giant heads, slimy green spacesuits, and the most peculiar method of communication you've ever seen. Plus, there's Pierce Brosnan's head on a chihuahua, which is worth the price of admission alone.

Earth Girls Are Easy

When aliens crash-land in California, they're in for a culture shock of '80s proportions. These fuzzy, technicolor creatures clean up nice and quickly learn the joys of music videos, beauty salons, and dance numbers that could rival "Flashdance."

The World's End

Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and friends attempt an epic pub crawl during an alien invasion, and things get hilariously messy. British humor, epic brawls, and some truly unforgettable pub names make this one a cosmic comedy classic.
