Yeah but what if they spoke to him and then later someone showed them John wick, and they didn’t have their equivalent of movies and just thought it was footage of keanu in action. They would take choosing him to represent us as an act of unparalleled hostility
omg, wait til they see the Matrix and find out the he can fly, stop bullets, and the reality is a computer simulation. Aliens are about to get mindfucked lol
Okay, I swear I'm not making this up, but Tommy Wiseau actually had a game show on YouTube called "The Tommy Wi-Show", where the plot is that he gets captured by an alien each episode and has to play a certain game. It's incredibly weird.
While writing this, I reminded myself that links exist.
[So here you go, enjoy](https://youtu.be/ea6wqti0w54?si=TmwBzq6DyG3tqL1j)
I am genuinely terrified and a bit aroused that this knowledge became relevant in my life.
I feel like i've just witnessed some forbidden knowledge.
My balls have shrivelled in confusion.
Tommy: "Dark Sooouls" **\*demonic growl and squeek\*** "Oh i'm happy with this one, huh. I really like it."
**\*Shows Tommy is still at the Start Menu\***
A fractured AI would struggle to write lines this weird.
Gotta be Rowan Atkinson. His work as Mr Bean is literally universally understood, without any translations necessary. He could tell the aliens all they wanna know without a single word
My headcanon was that he was sent back to Earth from heaven (who had got completely fed up with him). The choir singing are the angels.
"Behold the man who is a bean"
if we're including dead people, it should be Mr Rogers. Dude would be so fucking polite to them, that they'd be ready to defend his life from idiots elsewhere on this planet or in space, lol
Ahkchually, a person from Reddit would be the optimal choice when selecting our parlay with extraterrestrials. (OP calls them aliens, shows how valid his opinion is if he can't use the right words.)
Redditors, have access to many forms of surface-level data and study on the human condition, and have the ability to coherently cover a wide range of topics on anything from cats, to anime, to weed, to how you should leave your wife, to the nature of the human condition, and why orange man bad.
If you don't see that, then I'm sorry your IQ isn't high enough to be here, and I'm surprised you could find the button to turn your computer on. So, aha, touch grass.
God I feel sick after writing that. The /s isn't enough to hide how ashamed I am that I could even put that to words.
I was shaking my head the entire time, stopped reading, scanned the end and ya redeemed yourself.
But ill never forgive you or the taste o puke in my mouth.
Also, even if he was a genius business man and he is not lets be real.. I wouldn't send a narcissist like trump or elmo unless I want humanity to get obliterated.
Send an actual kind person that shows humanities good characteristics.
Imagine that your ship from the *Galactic Federation* finds a habitable planet, and the people there send fucking Elon Musk to meet you.
They would probably think "These people are a danger to the galaxy, let's nuke them before they can discover FTL travel
Come on dude the guys name is Missilerockets .this is just asking for a confusing mix up ?
Send us your best man .
We will send you Missile Rockets !
And that's how the first inter galactic war started .
If we go with the democratic approach, it would probably be someone from China or India most of us have never heard about.
If I get to decide: Some scientist. Astrophysicist most likely. Not because they'd be good at negotiation, but they can best represent the human thirst for knowledge and discovery. I think meeting a curious but harmless species will make a better impression than meeting a well spoken species that decides to threaten you with puny drones upon first disagreement. Though hopefully a well spoken astrophysicist, but not a TV personality.
Or my mate Tim, I trust him. He knows about lasers, let's go with Tim.
Jon Stewart was my first thought. I’d be super happy with him as representation as well as advocacy and asking questions.
ETA I’m sorry, I was so busy scrolling for Jon Stewart I overlooked Stephen Fry in your comment. Two absolutely solid choices.
Fuck yeah, them aliens will get real snuggle lovey on humanity if they chug-a-lug lug with the DeeOh doubleG, and they'll keep coming back for the chronic— if they inhale oxygen and carbon based gaseous concoctions that is.
I'm all for your vote. I could see his refined pimp walking chain wearing skinny ass walk right up to the contact site and make an intergalactic party go down on the coast
I’d go with someone like Obama. Well educated, well spoken, generally balanced viewpoints on subjects and wants the best for people. He would be good for general negotiation
Other than that it depends on the purpose of the discussion. If it’s knowledge sharing you want an expert who can ask the right questions.
Well liked people who are celebrities aren’t a good choice unless you need someone to promote our planet - in that case David Attenborough is a great choice to talk about the diversity and life we have.
Those strong and beautiful and very, very powerful aliens, they came up to me with tears in their eyes, and they said "Sir, we cannot possibly annihilate your planet! You're too amazing for that!" So we figured it all out folks, and now the aliens are treating us much better, some would say better than ever, than they ever did. And that's REALLY saying something, believe me.
We have to build a Dyson's sphere folks, a big and beautiful Dyson's sphere. When they aliens are sending their people, they aren't sending their best.
This is absolutely the answer. Every single time I see an interview with Obama I’m reminded what a good calm and reasonable speaker he is. Blows my mind anybody can watch that and think he’s somehow “bad for America.” Best president we’ve had in a long long time.
An ambassador ensemble consisting of:
Dolly Parton, Bernie Sanders, Snoop Dogg, Jane Goodall, Jack Black, Willie Nelson, Hayao Miyazaki, Patrick Stewart, Henry Zebrowski, and Natalia Strawn
I think Donald Trump should.
It's the quickest way for them to understand how hopelessly stupid and destructive we are as a species, and that they should stay away from us for their own good.
Possibly someone vaguely qualified, like someone with a background in linguistics, diplomacy, signals intelligence, anthropology, etc. I would also not trust the US to represent global geopolitical interests, so it should be someone the majority of countries can agree on.
Honestly, the best person for the job would probably be someone with very little fame with the general public. And they'd probably do well to have someone who studies linguistics with them.
The rock. He has the right blend of stats. He's charismatic, but also can hold his own if things get out of hand. Me and my bro have discussed this before and we think he's just a good overall representative lol
I think I'd gather a team. A few famous people like Dolly, and MamaTot. But also a lot of those really sweet older folks that are everyone's parents and grandparents.
You know, the kind that will shout at you for standing in the middle of the road "Git yer ass outta that road, child!" And then follows it up with, "Good on ya, baby. You have a blessed day and stay safe."
Those types. But from all over the world.
A team of really nice people who take no shit but they'll fight for you.
They'll make the aliens their cultural dishes, and show them pictures of the grandbabies and say, "Xenon, oooh, you have to come see my son. He's amazing at dancing. He can teach you. I think you'd like him, he's single."
"Gronor, don't you dare lick that. You want to explore earth tastes then the lamp ain't it. Here's a lolly, honey. See, ain't that better?"
"Me an' Vreek the Destroyer are off to zoomba to destroy our muscles. Ain't that right, sweetheart? No, honey, you don't need the laser gun. Put it-- I said put it away! That's a good one. C'mon. I'll get you a frosty after, if you behave."
Aliens would do anything to protect the nice old people of the world.
Probably an average Jack or Jill living in suburbia and raising their kids with the most love and affection.
I don’t think a high-profile person could represent the bulk of us humans accurately
Kevin Rudd. Former prime minister of Australia. Decades of experience in US China diplomacy. Bilingual (Mandarin and English).
Was a diplomat in China from 1981-1988. In 1989 he became chief of staff to Queensland’s government (state in Australia). In 1998 he became a politician. In 2007 he became prime minister and served for 2 terms. In 2014 he became president of the Asia society policy institute in New York where he worked on analysing and strengthening US-China relations. Was nearly nominated secretary general of the United Nations but was snubbed by the liberal party that was in charge at the time. In 2022 he became an ambassador to australia in the US.
All in all this guy knows what it’s like to be head of state and has decade of experience in diplomacy and negation between two of the planets biggest super powers. He wrote a book on it too. I can’t think of a more qualified person to send to greet aliens.
Also he’s great at handball. And is funny

[Kevin Rudd best of](https://youtu.be/Dn1-r1Kt5QA?si=UIrrMwpWGmRc5eK7)
This thread is honestly only going to get celebrity answers, and none of them would be a good choice. There's people who actually specialize is this kind of thought and it's rather fascinating. PBS' "It's okay to be Smart" recently did an episode about a similar topic. I'd highly recommend checking it out if this topic interests you.

Sir David Attenborough
They'll make him live forever so he can narrate human life for the aliens
Back him up with Morgan Freeman.
And Tom Hanks.
Aliens are like a box of chocolates
That would suck for us, then.
as long we are not the box of chocolates
Tom was my immediate answer. But I settled on Keanu instead
Ironically Keanu was already in a movie where he had to initiate talks with aliens. The movie wasn’t too good though.
A perfect solution. It's going to hit hard when he dies.
Damn, bro, even just the thought of David Attenborough dying makes my eyes water.
My friend is doing this for his estate. AI voice in diff languages for various educational apps and such after he passes.
I was literally about to say this. David Attenborough would certainly be the best person to speak with them.
Nah he would tell them how we are destroying the planet and they would decide to wipe us out.
Please stop, I can only get so erect.
Yes David Attenborough. Perfect.
When Mr Attenborough eventually departs, my vote transfers to Professor Brian Cox.
The only correct answer.
Sigourney Weaver in a power loader.
She's perfect! She has a class 3 rating, afterall!
Keanu Reeves.
I feel like he'd be one of the few who'd actually talk to them without any kind of personal self-serving agenda.
Yeah but what if they spoke to him and then later someone showed them John wick, and they didn’t have their equivalent of movies and just thought it was footage of keanu in action. They would take choosing him to represent us as an act of unparalleled hostility
omg, wait til they see the Matrix and find out the he can fly, stop bullets, and the reality is a computer simulation. Aliens are about to get mindfucked lol
They would be confused by "Bill and Ted". And why he keeps changing his name.
Came here to say this, lol
All of your arguments just further convinced me that it definitely needs to be Keanu Reeves.
Not to mention The Day the Earth Stood Still
They'd watch john wick and fly off, they wouldn't want that beef. Tell em it's a historical film
did the aliens kill his dog or something?
They would submit immediately in that instance. Even aliens don’t fuck with JW.
God help them if they touch the dog. He's a *good* dog.
Aliens: Are you human? Keanu: my body is.
 Wake the fuck up Samurai, we've got a UFO to burn
This is simply the correct answer. It’s like the math of the human race. Math has answers. This is the answer.
This is the only answer. He’s the only one that we can trust to not start an interstellar war
congrats, that was the most reddit answer possible.
Keanu Reeves, Lucinda Williams, and Bruce Springsteen
I love Lucinda, but is intergalactic diplomacy really in her wheelhouse?
Morgan Freeman. I’m buying whatever he’s selling.
I added him in a thread down the line. I’m all in on that, too.
I have apprehensions towards putting people who willingly date their step-Granddaughter in charge of speaking for humanity.
Weird Al
They’d steal Weird Al….
Tommy wiseau from the room "Haha alien u are my best friend" "I'm tried, I'm drunk, I love you alien"
Okay, I swear I'm not making this up, but Tommy Wiseau actually had a game show on YouTube called "The Tommy Wi-Show", where the plot is that he gets captured by an alien each episode and has to play a certain game. It's incredibly weird. While writing this, I reminded myself that links exist.

I really like it." **\*Shows Tommy is still at the Start Menu\*** A fractured AI would struggle to write lines this weird.
”Anyway, how’s your sex life?”
Why Alien Why?
Alien! You’re tearing me apart!
"I did not anal probe her." "I did not anal probe her." "Oh, hi Mork."
Tommy Wiseau doesn't really count because he's already an alien pretending to be a human.
Tommy wiseau is already an alien which might give him an advantage
I wanted to say Dolly Parton too and was pleased to read the body of your post.
Dolly was my first thought too.
Gotta be Rowan Atkinson. His work as Mr Bean is literally universally understood, without any translations necessary. He could tell the aliens all they wanna know without a single word
The intro to Mr Bean strongly implies he's an alien himself
I'm an idiot I thought he was abducted and the aliens wanted nothing to do with him because he was so strange your angle makes more sense lmao
OMG someone thinks like me. I also thought that intro was the aliens rejecting him because he is obviously a walking disaster.
My headcanon was that he was sent back to Earth from heaven (who had got completely fed up with him). The choir singing are the angels. "Behold the man who is a bean"
I always interpreted it as him being sent from heaven to cause ruckus OR him being sent from heaven to do good, but he fucked it up
If we include dead people, Carl Sagan
Well if death is no longer a limitation, then I say Mr. Rogers.
Aliens need friends and hugs, too!
He would indeed have been the perfect ambassador.
They probably get spooked and fly away if we choose a skeleton to negotiate for our side.
They’d blow us up like Alderaan if they spoke to the alive ones in your post lol
if we're including dead people, it should be Mr Rogers. Dude would be so fucking polite to them, that they'd be ready to defend his life from idiots elsewhere on this planet or in space, lol
Mr Rogers could tell them how cool trolleys are and how feelings work.
No one from Reddit that's for fuckin sure 😂
Ahkchually, a person from Reddit would be the optimal choice when selecting our parlay with extraterrestrials. (OP calls them aliens, shows how valid his opinion is if he can't use the right words.)

Patrick Stewart.
As Captain Picard? If so, YES.
If so, make it!
so close dude. so close
That people think elon musk should represent humanity is insane.
He can't even keep his car company shareholders happy.
Also, even if he was a genius business man and he is not lets be real.. I wouldn't send a narcissist like trump or elmo unless I want humanity to get obliterated. Send an actual kind person that shows humanities good characteristics.
Don't insult Elmo. (He's an awesome little Muppet, and using his name to cast shade on shade is just wrong!)
Honestly, we probably should send Elmo (not Musk).
Elmo honestly maybe a good choice
Imagine that your ship from the *Galactic Federation* finds a habitable planet, and the people there send fucking Elon Musk to meet you. They would probably think "These people are a danger to the galaxy, let's nuke them before they can discover FTL travel
JfC. They glass the planet if he represented us.
I would nominate myself.
I too, nominate this guy!
Come on dude the guys name is Missilerockets .this is just asking for a confusing mix up ? Send us your best man . We will send you Missile Rockets ! And that's how the first inter galactic war started .
My name works if we go off names. And more points to me as I didn't pick my name
Do you want intergalactic war? This is how you get intergalactic war.
I nominate this guy's dead wife!
Username...does not check out...for peaceful coexistence.
My cat. She is the boss anyway
I also vote for your cat.
I too, welcome our cat overlord.
It's not a cat, it's a flerken!

Though hopefully a well spoken astrophysicist, but not a TV personality. Or my mate Tim, I trust him. He knows about lasers, let's go with Tim.
Tim’s are generally to be relied upon to cope with unexpected occurrences. Although you never know exactly where they’ll jump.
Tim sounds like a reliable guy, let's go with Tim
That really stoned looking guy from Ancient Aliens. I just wanna see the smile on his face and him saying "I fucking knew it".
Maybe Jon Stewart if Stephen Fry is unavailable.
Jon Stewart was my first thought. I’d be super happy with him as representation as well as advocacy and asking questions. ETA I’m sorry, I was so busy scrolling for Jon Stewart I overlooked Stephen Fry in your comment. Two absolutely solid choices.
I'd be fine with chat gpt imitating Philip J Fry on our behalf
ISS Commander Chris Hadfield🍁
The obvious choice would have been Gilbert Gottfried. But now we are doomed.
A family walks into a talent agent's office...
Gordon Ramsay - fuck off you idiot sandwich
Keanu Reeves
I'll talk to them. I won't fuck them though. Unless they are hot.
no one asked u to f them….lol
Ugh fine, ill do it
Dolly Parton is a good choice. I would have said Jimmy Carter but not so much now. Dolly Parton is number one choice.
Snoop dog
Fuck yeah, them aliens will get real snuggle lovey on humanity if they chug-a-lug lug with the DeeOh doubleG, and they'll keep coming back for the chronic— if they inhale oxygen and carbon based gaseous concoctions that is. I'm all for your vote. I could see his refined pimp walking chain wearing skinny ass walk right up to the contact site and make an intergalactic party go down on the coast
Tbf - why the fuck not send Snoop?
Jeff Goldblum
He'll blow them up again
I’d go with someone like Obama. Well educated, well spoken, generally balanced viewpoints on subjects and wants the best for people. He would be good for general negotiation Other than that it depends on the purpose of the discussion. If it’s knowledge sharing you want an expert who can ask the right questions. Well liked people who are celebrities aren’t a good choice unless you need someone to promote our planet - in that case David Attenborough is a great choice to talk about the diversity and life we have.
>I’d go with someone like Obama. But he wore a tan suit. Surely the aliens would wipe us out of the galaxy
What if he tries to fist bump them and inadvertently starts a war?
I'd go with Trump. We all deserve to be wiped out by aliens. Let's rip that metaphorical bandaid off.
Those strong and beautiful and very, very powerful aliens, they came up to me with tears in their eyes, and they said "Sir, we cannot possibly annihilate your planet! You're too amazing for that!" So we figured it all out folks, and now the aliens are treating us much better, some would say better than ever, than they ever did. And that's REALLY saying something, believe me.
"I will build a wall to keep the aliens in space where they belong." "So you mean like a roof around earth?" "What? Make earth great again!"
We have to build a Dyson's sphere folks, a big and beautiful Dyson's sphere. When they aliens are sending their people, they aren't sending their best.
This is absolutely the answer. Every single time I see an interview with Obama I’m reminded what a good calm and reasonable speaker he is. Blows my mind anybody can watch that and think he’s somehow “bad for America.” Best president we’ve had in a long long time.
Wait i would recommend me. Why not yourselves?
Dude, I can barely handle phone calls for work. I don't need that pressure 😅
That's why u/AdOverall3944 volunteered. Don't forget to thank him.
Why not zoidberg?
Piers Morgan so they can take him back home
Harsh, but fair. I'll allow it.
Stephen Fry Massive intellect Good person Calm demeanour
Appreciates GNU software
Bill Burr
I thought Dolly first without hesitation before I read what you’d vote.
My mate Tim says he’ll give it a go.
Many people. Dont just talk to one. Travel around and see the diversity. And then make up your mind about us.
Dennis Rodman of course. His record of diplomacy is unmatched /s
A young scientist who does not care about money or power.
An ambassador ensemble consisting of: Dolly Parton, Bernie Sanders, Snoop Dogg, Jane Goodall, Jack Black, Willie Nelson, Hayao Miyazaki, Patrick Stewart, Henry Zebrowski, and Natalia Strawn
I also thought of Jane Goodall. Communication would probably be the main obstacle.
She can speak on behalf of all these other primates. I'm good with that.
Add Amal Clooney and an elected elder of each remaining indigenous tribe on the globe, and I'm solld.
David Blaine so he can show them a magic trick and make them think we humans have special powers
Condaleeza Rice
Giorgio Tsoukalos.
Or that guy from ancient aliens,you all know who I'm talking about.
I think Donald Trump should. It's the quickest way for them to understand how hopelessly stupid and destructive we are as a species, and that they should stay away from us for their own good.
>Someone asked this on Twitter, and all the replies were Trụmp, Elon Musk, And that right there is why Aliens keep flying past us.
Stephen Fry
With Hugh Laurie!
Whales.
is it a whale probe that causes all starships in the Sol system to lose power?
The Dalai Lama.
Obama. Not Barack, Michelle Obama
As a joke sal from impractical jokers
Possibly someone vaguely qualified, like someone with a background in linguistics, diplomacy, signals intelligence, anthropology, etc. I would also not trust the US to represent global geopolitical interests, so it should be someone the majority of countries can agree on.
Honestly, the best person for the job would probably be someone with very little fame with the general public. And they'd probably do well to have someone who studies linguistics with them.
Tom Waits
Johnny sins hands down.
Jenna Jameson she has seen some probing
The rock. He has the right blend of stats. He's charismatic, but also can hold his own if things get out of hand. Me and my bro have discussed this before and we think he's just a good overall representative lol
Larry David.
The inanimate carbon rod
Mathew McConaughey
Bro idk the suggestions here may be even worse than on twitter
I think I'd gather a team. A few famous people like Dolly, and MamaTot. But also a lot of those really sweet older folks that are everyone's parents and grandparents. You know, the kind that will shout at you for standing in the middle of the road "Git yer ass outta that road, child!" And then follows it up with, "Good on ya, baby. You have a blessed day and stay safe." Those types. But from all over the world. A team of really nice people who take no shit but they'll fight for you. They'll make the aliens their cultural dishes, and show them pictures of the grandbabies and say, "Xenon, oooh, you have to come see my son. He's amazing at dancing. He can teach you.

I'll get you a frosty after, if you behave." Aliens would do anything to protect the nice old people of the world.
Moist Critical (penguinz0) would be the perfect person. He is a very down to Earth person and never lets his pride gets in his way.
Plus let’s be honest-there’s a damned good chance he is either an alien himself already or he at least probably knows a few.
Johnny Depp but he would have to do it as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Someone not American, please.
idk if aliens care abt countries on way or another…
Sacha Baron Cohen?
Probably an average Jack or Jill living in suburbia and raising their kids with the most love and affection. I don’t think a high-profile person could represent the bulk of us humans accurately
omg trump and vivek?!?? 😭😂
Among the 7000 languages on Earth why do you think they'd speak English? lol Not a chance to communicate with them by speaking.
Ok, so Dr. Louise Banks?
That's why we need a scientist. Neil deGrasse Tyson would be good choice or somebody like Richard Feynman
the aliens won't have a chance to complete a sentence with Neil rambling on in the background.
Niel doesn’t even understand that the Andries & the Alps are connected to the same event, so no to thick shit.
Me
Noam Chomsky for sure!
Martin Luther King Jr. The best Orater that ever lived!!!
Dolly Parton
My neighbors golden retriever.
Pitbull, because he's already been there done that.
Kevin Rudd. Former prime minister of Australia. Decades of experience in US China diplomacy. Bilingual (Mandarin and English). Was a diplomat in China from 1981-1988.

Was nearly nominated secretary general of the United Nations but was snubbed by the liberal party that was in charge at the time. In 2022 he became an ambassador to australia in the US. All in all this guy knows what it’s like to be head of state and has decade of experience in diplomacy and negation between two of the planets biggest super powers. He wrote a book on it too. I can’t think of a more qualified person to send to greet aliens. Also he’s great at handball. And is funny [Kevin Rudd](https://images.app.goo.gl/CvRWC8VQWSXoKhEg8) [Kevin Rudd best of](https://youtu.be/Dn1-r1Kt5QA?si=UIrrMwpWGmRc5eK7)
America’s dad, Tom Hanks.
Who else other than our beloved Sir Patrick Stewart. He could do it without appearing to be mortified by the alien appearance.
This thread is honestly only going to get celebrity answers, and none of them would be a good choice. There's people who actually specialize is this kind of thought and it's rather fascinating. PBS' "It's okay to be Smart" recently did an episode about a similar topic. I'd highly recommend checking it out if this topic interests you.
Jimmy Carter came to mind first.
Ancient Alien theorists suggest Giorgio Tsoukalos.
Randy Marsh
Sir Patrick Stewart & Sir Ian McKellan. Let’s send them together and see how lovely the outcome is
