All the props go to my friend Sean for this joke.

It’s not often I hear a parody suggestion I like.  Those who know me will often throw ideas my way on what film we should spoof next/what the joke should be/what this week’s joke should’ve been.  Often they’re along the lines of: “… and then he shoots him in the face!  Ha!” or, “… and then he punches him in the dick!  Lolz!”

It’s… annoying.  At best.  Because me, being me, automatically think my ideas are divine revelations sent from the heavens to share with you all.  When I decided to spoof E.T., I got a rude awakening.

My initial thoughts were along the lines of, “What if E.T. dialed the wrong number when phoning home?”  It was a decent concept, but not as good as Sean’s.  He took the “ouch” moment from the movie and applied from Elliot’s finger to his balls.  I mixed it up a bit by having it take place during the flying bike scene and, ta-daa!: our first joke we totally stole from an outside, non-FTR source.

Thanks, Sean.  Just don’t expect any money or anything.
