The first three jokes of the show start off with one bang after another-these three wry reinterpretations of reality disarmed me and made me smile as they set the stage for the series’ tone. Drexx and Tuva are sharp, observant, and intriguing, and I can’t wait for next week’s installment. I laughed at loud several times during this premiere, which isn’t something I’m prone to. Since this show is a faux-news report and there’s no narrative plot to speak of, how well the writers can carry it off wholly depends on how well these jokes land-and I’m pleased to say that they almost always do. They report on horse racing and Las Vegas before signing off. Drexx mistakenly believes that Popeyes is a religious institution called “Pope Yes,” and Tuva corrects him. They mock fracking and the British royal family before moving onto the segment “Eye on Education,” which explains the four-year Earth prisons known as “universities.” Afterwards, Drexx and Tuva cover topics like online universities, airplane travel, smoking, and clowns. A whole show about Earth exists in the first place because humans are about to set a record for fastest self-extinction of a species, meaning that Earth will soon be on the real estate market.ĭrexx and Tuva mock the Oscars before segueing into the HGTV parody segment “Invade it or Avoid it,” in which they share a (mostly comically inaccurate) history of Earth and determine that invading the planet is indeed a good investment. He had no choice but to take this assignment because he’s notoriously difficult to work with. Drexx doesn’t quite understand the assignment, and sampled a wide variety human flesh (instead of human culture) in preparation for this show. Aboard the studio ship Integritus, alien Drexx Drudlar and “journaloid” Tuva Van Void are here to bring you all the latest news from the weirdest aliens out there-earthlings.
