    The Arrested Development Movie will probably be out by the time they arrive so that can cover the movie too.

Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our independence day

    I'd show it Fr.Ted show and Life of Brian movie

    Film - Primer. They'll spend the rest of their lives trying to figure out what the hell was going on in that film that they won't get around to invading the planet.

    Oireachtas Report - Imagine the look on their alien faces when they see a bunch of auld wans and auld fellas talking about nothing in a boring monotonous tone with people sleeping in the gallery.

    My interpretation of "best" implies "realistic" i.e. show the aliens that we understand just how doomed we are as a species, and that we have no-one to blame but ourselves. So:
    TV: Breaking Bad
    Film: Idiocracy

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.
