I’m a commercial.

I’ve occasionally wondered if an advanced alien society was using their advanced technology to spy on humans and it became their equivalent of a nature show, possibly like Meerkat Manor.

I’m a horror movie

We very likely are playing out some advanced version of Minecraft. The book of Genesis might have gotten it right after all.

If they are watching your reality show, you’d have to question their intelligence.

Shades of Galaxy Quest. And RIP Former U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chair Newton Minow, who lambasted television as a “vast wasteland” more than 60 years ago.

Too little imagination. We’re NPCs in an alien version of Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture where the alien variant of destructive troll wrote the script.
