Soren's second "Team Predator" you can just feel the betrayal in his voice lol

I'd trade several chapters of other stuff for an AFTERHOURS episode every two-weeks, I mean, After Hours is like the gathering of the content of: things you didn't notice in movies, pop-culture disorder, among others. I started to watch Cracked because of afterhours, there must be more people who do the same.

I cant belive they just made me afraid of E.T.

I know this was just for laughs but E.T genuinely scared me as a child. I found him utterly terrifying! I had no problem watching Alien, but E.T was a trial by fire.

Yeah... I'm pretty sure the seven foot tall, black, acid dragon would still look pretty scary in the desert.

All of ET's powers can be explained as Jedi powers. Telekinesis is just force push/pull/etc. Linking is Mind Tricks. Etc.

Did Katie just use "Hentai" as an adjective?

"Hey ET! We can phone home whenever we feel like it." That may be the best line on the the internet.

nah it's "They live" cause we don't have Roddy Piper to defend us.

OMFG, they can turn our guns into radios!!!

"Space chupacabra"

Finally, someone else who was totally freaked out by ET 😂

I have been waiting for a new After Hours! Yay!

I am so glad that I'm not the only one who was freaked out by ET

I know this is a few years ago now, but Predators want to hunt the strongest, best prey in its hunting ground. It’s why it picked off Arnold’s crew but seemed to remain focused on him. He was the prey. The others were just kind of in the way. This can be seen more in 2. The Predator from the beginning views Danny Glover as the top prey in the area, and pretty much everything the Predator does is to draw Glover out.

I was significantly more scared of ET as a child than Alien. I saw them both around 1985 when I was 6. I still cant watch ET. I closed my eyes for a lot of the clips in this video. I'm going to have nightmares, thanks cracked...

Just started the video. I'm calling that it's going to be E.T.

I wish this was a weekly show :( Also, bring back Today's Topic and more Dan content.

Invasion of the body snatchers is the best invasion tactic, because it worked

The candidate for the most terrifying alien is Q -- and by extension the species of "Q" -- from "Star Trek." Seriously, despite his comedic, flamboyant, and sarcastic demeanor and behavior, he could literally eliminate your universe out of existence with just a thought (or snap of the fingers). He could also think of you being in Hell, and you would be in the universe of Hell. The most terrifying about Q is not that he is aware of being capable of such things, he just does not care and finds it boring. Except for humans.

I just spent an hour on GTLive when I could have been watching this?!

i love when dan starts to go off the rails in these and soren and katie get all concerned for his mental wellbeing.

I thought ewoks were the most terrifying movie alien.

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE!!! E.T. scared the fuck out of me as a child. I hated it. I still hate it.

I was absolutely TERRIFIED of E.T. as a child. Never could watch the whole movie...

New After Hours? This is how every work week should begin! Also, Space Chupacabra would be a pretty sweet band name.

"ANY ALIENSES!!!!!"

"Flesh zombies going hentai on the Mounties" WTF?

FINALLY SOMEONE REALIZES HOW SCARY ET IS I MEAN SERIOUSLY YOU CANT EVEN KILL IT BECAUSE THAN YOU WOULD DIE BECAUSE OF THE MIND LINK

HELL YEAH TEAM PREDATOR! **makes the predator sound**

Still coming back to watch you guys in 2021. I remember having a job that gave me horrible anxiety. I would wake up in the middle of the night worried and panicking, so I'd light one up, and watch these vids. The sound at the beginning brings back so much nostalgia and good vibes. I got to the party late because you split up not too much longer after that. I rewatch all the time.

3:11 "Game over, man!" Sweet!! (Btw, that was a totally ad-libbed line. Hats off to Bill Paxton.)

God bless you for not using the word "secretly" in your title.

I know I'm in too deep with this series because I don't even give a shit what you guys are talking about anymore. I'm still gonna watch it purely for 1. Dan, 2. banter, 3. DAN.

I have to disagree about the thing. The biggest terror is that The Thing can imitate anything. So 1 drops into the ocean. Boom. Ya got fish monsters. 1 becomes a bird. Boom spread everywhere

"The Thing" immediately came to mind when read title. John W. Campbell's masterpiece. In original story worldwide infestation would've been in less than a year. All those other creatures would have been absorbed and converted quickly.

Absolutely with them on this one, ET always felt sinister to me.

oh man, the sing song 'its been awhile,' is such a good throw away joke. good job

aww RIP Wilford Brimley. Soren can finally sleep at night.

The Alien franchise aliens are called xenomorphs.

I laugh/cried so hard at Soren's predator impression, for several minutes. I love this show.

Good video - but could have been better if the thumbnail didn't show ET. I might have been more surprised in that case, but because I knew ET had to be on the list, I wasn't as into it. Just a small criticism.

Superman is defo the scariest movie alien.

"Going Hentai on some Mounties" - We just going to ignore this line from her? Yes? K...

before it started. i had totally guessed that ET was the scariest 😂

What about the Daleks from Doctor Who? They are unstoppable tanks specifically designed to kill and their only emotions are rage and hatred and they have advanced technology and are hyper intelligent

Slightly disappointed that there wasn't a doctor who reference

This may sound weird, but when I listen to you guys debate on certain topics, I find it very soothing. So much so that I am able to fall asleep when nothing else works. :)

Dan - No offense, but you're wrong about how the Thing acts in Carpenter's 1982 classic. It only bursts out and attempts to quickly snatch people only when it doesn't have a choice and its been exposed. Look at the start of the film, when you see the Dog-Thing entering into the room of a crew member whose shadow you see on the wall. That was a stealth take over. The Thing also tried to do the same with the Dogs in the kennel and the same with Bennings in the storage room. Both of those were suppose to be stealth takeovers, but it didn't take into account of someone coming back (the kennel scene where it attempts the take over is suppose to be hours after it was put into the kennel, where all the human crew were asleep. It didn't account for Clark being awake to discover it and for MacReady to be awake to hit the alarm). It is a creature that is trying to survive by trying to spread itself as carefully as it can, because it knows that if it were discovered, the copy would be destroyed. All the times that the thing has busted out of its façade is after its been exposed. Look at the Norris-Thing sequence. It had its thing-out after it was first zapped by Copper. After that first shock, it registered Copper's shocking as painful and that it's existence was threatened. The same is true with the Palmer-Thing. It tried to maintain it's façade during the blood-test, and attacked Windows not because it was trying to spread the organism, but the fact that it was a threat that was close by. But, most importantly, it took out the generator to kill the lights all over the camp, which it used to go after Fuchs (who killed himself to keep from becoming a Thing), went to MacReady's shack to shred a pair of his clothes and shove it up the furnace to try to frame him AND also used that opportunity to infect Palmer (and possibly Blair). The Thing you're describing is almost like being a zombie, it just going after people without mindless thought. The Thing in Carpenter's film is nothing like that. It is intelligent enough to know how to try to avoid being discovered and being destroyed. It's an intelligent creature down to its very molecular level. The only time it does the burst out try to take over quickly is when it doesn't have any other choice and its existence is in danger. And BTW, guys, the alien in the Alien franchise is often referred to as Xenomorphs (using the word from Cameron's film "Aliens"), since there's no real official name for them. Also, I doubt the Xenomorphs would be seen during the daylight unless they need to (hell, don't y'all remember Newt's line from the film? "It'll be dark soon, and they mostly come out at night. Mostly." That indicates that they're nocturnal).

you made ET really terrifying, and then you said star wars and then it wasn't scary anymore.

Rewatching this today with COVID, we would all die to the thing alien.

"No, I don't wanna live in that world" None of us do.

Xenomorphs, the extraterrestrials from Aliens are called Xenomorphs.

I think it should be Jar Jar Binks

The mesosphere isn't searing hot, it's really cold.

Was I the only one thinking Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? The aliens there literally blew up earth, killing an entire species, in a matter of minutes with no warning.

ET actually did kinda scare me as a kid

No. It's the Flood! They could whipe out everything, consume everyone. It's not E.T, no it's THE FLOOD! *Flood music starts. * THERE HERE! The FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!

I can re-watch this After Hours again and again... the alien test on Dan gets me every time, lol

E.T creeped me out as a kid thought he was going to come out of my closet and kill me or something creepy like that

I was like "it better be ET because that movie scary AF"

you guys do know that the Thing only needs to touch you to take over your body right? I mean have you even seen the damn movie?

"These flesh-Gumbys going hentai on some Mounties." I will NEVER be able to stop saying this!

Can we make that happen. Can that be "a thang" ??? I look forward to new after hrs. Want it to be a weekly THANG. .. Do it for the FANS guys.

I love After Hours! You guys always do this so well.

I'm glad someone shares my views on ET

If you ever played alien Armageddon, you would see that Earth gets pretty wrecked by the Xenomorph. There's some pretty nasty mutated forms of the alien with well. That includes a rhino and a Flying Xenomorph.

It really never occurred to me that E.T is a legit horror movie in disguise lol damn

This After Hours seemed better than some of the last few. Maybe I'm in a less cynical mood, but I enjoyed this one a lot. Good work, guys.

Old alien hiding out naked in Elliot's closet. Creeper!

These are my new favorite nerds, hate that i only now got into them but having all this content to pour through is pretty nice

I guess they missed the bit in THE THING where one single cell could take you over (which is how Norris and Blair were infected - when they did the autopsies). All of the body horror bits were either it trying to assimilate as quickly as possible or to act as a distraction. Rob Ager also has a nice analysis of THE THING called "evil masquerading as science".

Star Wars takes place in our universe. It's literally the first thing we're told in every Star Wars movie.

Actually, Wolverine can only heal himself. Those are very specifically NOT Wolverine-style healing powers

This is so true. The alien in ET is kind of like a corrupt politician in real life. They make us love them and appear to be peaceful and sympathizing while in reality they are draining our life force and plotting to take over what we own.

I swear I love you guys so much!

Oh hey look it's the only reason why I'm still subscribed to this channel.

Yes! A new After Hours!

One problem. The AvP franchise isn't solely based on the Alien skull from Predator 2. AvP was a successful comic story published by Dark Horse Comics before the script was even written for the initial AvP film. #TeamPredator The Predators would be way more effective with say, a rogue sect of them attacking earth for more than just trophy hunting. To stay with your initial argument though, the jungle Predator wiped out a whole elite team of soldiers before being defeated by Arnold in the end. I'll let you do the human to Predator death ratio yourselves.

I remember watching " The Thing " as a kid at my grandfathers house. I couldn't sleep for days. Now i think its a great classic.

obviously the most horrifying alien is Alf

FUCK YEAH TEAM PREDATOR tick tick tick tick

The subtle "It's been awhile" did me in.

Love this one, you guys are the best. Will there be an after hours of how weird it is that after six sense we got waves of talking to ghost t.v. shows? Like how they're all terrible.

You guys should do something on Malcolm in the Middle.

Many Doctor Who aliens would probably be worse than ET. Daleks have taken over Earth multiple times, and have only been fought off because of a renegade Time Lord. The Cybermen have also successfully crippled Earth's defenses several times since their first appearance in the 1960's. The Sontarans nearly wiped out Earth using automobiles against us, and with a clone army could probably also continue a war for several years. The Master ruled Earth for a year in an alternate timeline, and let's not forget the 456 from Torchwood: Children of Earth, who established a direct link with Earth's children and used advanced diseases as a threat against us. Not to mention that the Time Lords are fully capable of taking out Earth, and nearly destroyed the Earth for their own ends when they believed they would lose the Time War. If they should decide when they're at full power to go against Earth, not even the Doctor might be able to stop them!

I feel these guys kinda shat on the predators, most of the times we see the predators they are just young ones doing there like admission test to the higher ranks, in the second AVP one old predator takes on like 15 normal xeno easily and only struggles with the preda alien.

I have been here since they had 500 + subs and I have always and still do love their videos

Auto like after hours always. even the worst one is damn good.

In the excellent book series, one escapee Alien Queen pretty much fucked up our planet. They had to nuke half the U.S to curb the infestation, since conventional military hardware was essentially useless.

Lol. I've seen this many times, but I just noticed the top saying "specifically not a head spider" at 0:52 for the first time.

At least they changed the thumbnail so it didn't spoil it as E.T.

The predators that went out and hunted were mainly the young ones. that was their coming of age ritual

I thought Jar Jar is the most terrifying movie alien D:

HOW DID YOU NOT MENTION GREMLINS OR CRITTERS.. I thought for sure you'd reference ~Gizmo, lol. I definitely needed therapy after those films!! (btw, lol at the dog in the end clip looking so confused at everyone waving, haha)

For me it is the Borg. They can assimilate people from the inside, they adapt to weapons after only one or two shots, if they assimilate somebody who knows your plan they know it, they have super hacking skills, they can turn normal ships into hives, and if you beat their invasion they can send themselves back in time, or just assimilate your planet from space by crop-dusting it with nanites.

The Thing. Where my love of horror began :)

This is the only video where I agree with Soren those people didn't beat the predator they survived

There is something so amazing about the statement “napalm people from a desk”

I can't believe I never noticed that Swaim sings Staind at 06:01. Bravo sir.
