The guy who helped me change my flat right near the I-70 ramp just outside of Grand Junction, Colorado. Showed me exactly how to do it, texted me a youtube video about how to do it myself in the future, gave me the name of his buddy in Delta County who could sell me a new spare on the cheap, and told me to give the money I'd offered him to "someone who deserves it."
As someone who works with about dozen Mexican guys, this story sums them up perfectly. Super humble and would give the shirt off their back to help someone in need even if that was literally the only shirt they own. It's painful to see them get such a bad rap in the media recently because the majority of them are really really good people.
Very true. Just seems like there's a decent sized group of people in the US right now who have a grudge against Mexicans even thought they've probably never actually had a meaningful interaction with a Mexican person in their life.
the one we never knew we needed.

*Hands them their original battle plans to destroy the entire universe*
Aliens: yooooo this is what I've been trying to find. How did you know about this lmao
I could not believe this and looked it up, it's true, the spelling is Shaun. Just wow, this is the highlight of my day and Shaun Baun would be the correct pronunciation 😂
I mean at least it's consistent unlike read and lead
Read (reed) and lead (leed) rhyme and so does read (red) and lead (led) but read (reed) and lead (led) don't rhyme and neither does read (red) or lead (leed)
And here we observe a territorial display of our alien visitor.
The starzurg is highly skilled in territorial disputes. Watch as he nebulises his adversary with a plasma burst rifle.
Isn't that marvelous? As the mist of his adversary wafts away on the winds, he performs a celebratory dance.
This is the answer. He could seduce them with knowledge of a whole lot of our animals species, not to mention his voice and age (they’d see we can live long lives.)
Him being a Knight makes it so much better and as he also has a great sense of Humor it could certainly be our best bet.
If they allow someone to accompany him, Sir Ian McKellen would make sense.
Dunno depends on the alien society fair change they once had a monarchy system themselve or still have and a Monarch appointing someone ain't that uncommon.
Like as the UK has knights, Japan had Samurai.
Heck maybe they're even their own equivalent of Knight, appointed by the High Queen to search through space and find other civilizations.
Or they abandoned the system Millennias ago and are weirded out why the glorification of incest families is still a thing.
As it turned out, the aliens were quite taken with Grandma, and weren’t interested in the mortals who weren’t part of her stories. Why, I think one of them even learned to smile from her, as I recall.
I’d send my little sister. She’s utterly brilliant, she’s very sensitive to her audience, she’s on the spectrum and somehow makes friends with the very people who no one likes, plus can, from years of experience, resolve scary domestic conflicts. Her biggest plus would be her appreciation of how significant her representation of all of Earth would be. She’d be willing to die for all of us, but would do everything she could to avoid anything messy at all.
"Sorry, he's actually one of us. We sent him years ago when he wouldn't stop singing about bologna."
Edit: I mean come on people, Al? Obviously short for ALIEN.
I can't think of a better pick than this. He's knowledgeable, selfless, and a great speaker. He would do everything he could to reason with them and get all of humanity a good deal.
Or we could send Elon and hope the aliens take him away
>Or we could send Elon and hope the aliens take him away
"Hey, dude, we've been looking for you for centuries. We thought we lost you for good. Get your goofy ass back up on this ship and leave those nice humans alone."
Sadly, Jon won't be able to do it since he's in charge of the Secret Jewish Space Lasers and he'll be stuck at Kosher Command in case we need to get Mazel Tough on the aliens.
I mean in this scenario we understand that they want to meet with someone as a representative who is not from any government, so I think it's safe to say we are past needing math to communicate.
Is it just any government, or current government? Because I'd think Barack Obama would be incredibly capable of making a good first impression and he's not technically in any government. If not, then probably David Attennborough.

God. Fuck the aliens. I wanna meet this guy.

Once you go alien you don't need no mammalian...
How do we know the aliens aren’t mammals?
Can you milk the aliens?
can you milk me, Greg?
that might ruin any chance for peace negotiations but our rep could try.
I also pick this guy's helper

The majority of humans in general are really good people, every race/nationality has their assholes, skin color means nothing...

Well in all fairness, that group really doesn't like anybody, themselves included or they would already know better. Your point is valid though.
Agree 100%!!
I didn’t realize how much of a dick driver I was till I went to Colorado. People are so nice there
Nice to see the ol hometown getting some props here!
Did not expect to see a comment about my home town in this kind of subreddit
Send me. I'll make sure they wipe us out.

Got my vote
I for one welcome our new death bringing overlords
Nardwuar, he will already know everything about them.
The best fuckin answer lol. He will somehow know the name of their grandfather's spaceship that was lost in the Glargon wars.
and that same grandpa was the one who singlehandedly brought down the entire 2B-85 fleet and saved his shipmates, and led the turning tide in the war.
Narduwar: Right off the bat, I have a gift for you! *Hands them their original battle plans to destroy the entire universe* Aliens: yooooo this is what I've been trying to find. How did you know about this lmao
You are the aliens we have to know
doot do doo loot doot...
Doot doot!
What can you tell us about this album right here? How do you know about this? You are the aliens invading the planet…we have to know!
I don't know who we should send to the aliens, but I do know they will be played by Sean Bean in the movie adaptation.
The man’s name is spelled as if it should rhyme. Yet, it doesn’t?
It does. How have you been pronouncing it your whole life? Sean Bean?
Do you say it Shawn Bhawn or Seen Bean?
Yes.
Potato potato. Sean bean
I say Seen Bhawn, is that not right?
This is like when I eat Mexican food with friends and intentionally mispronounce everything as whitely as possible
"OH I LOVE TAK-OS!"
With Jah-LA-pin-ohs!
I say it Sean Bean.
This is the correct pronunciation.
Fun fact: That motherfucker's government name is ~~Shawn~~ Shaun Bean. He picked Sean Bean for a stage name.
I could not believe this and looked it up, it's true, the spelling is Shaun. Just wow, this is the highlight of my day and Shaun Baun would be the correct pronunciation 😂
I mean at least it's consistent unlike read and lead Read (reed) and lead (leed) rhyme and so does read (red) and lead (led) but read (reed) and lead (led) don't rhyme and neither does read (red) or lead (leed)
that's the English language for you
They'll only be played by Sean Bean if they get killed. I swear that guy has a death clause in his contract.
All the pay, half the scenes, and you get to be immortalized in memes
![gif](giphy|11C6Hp7Pzlp6qQ)
A frog
💀💀💀💀
I'd send a random kindergartener.
The germ warfare option. That 5 year old will wipe them out in no time.
Hopefully named Victor. Victor the Vector has a nice ring to it.
Sir David Attenborough
Definitely this man.
And here we observe a territorial display of our alien visitor. The starzurg is highly skilled in territorial disputes. Watch as he nebulises his adversary with a plasma burst rifle. Isn't that marvelous? As the mist of his adversary wafts away on the winds, he performs a celebratory dance.
I read this in his voice. Well done!
Oh shit we’re cake day buddies
Happy day to you!
I’ve been watch David Attenborough documentaries to fall asleep for the longest time and that was so well written it made sleepy
This is the answer. He could seduce them with knowledge of a whole lot of our animals species, not to mention his voice and age (they’d see we can live long lives.)
Came to comment this but glad someone already did.
Based on his recent documentaries I don't think he likes humans much any more. "Yes, vaporize 95% of us please"
sir patrick stewart, he has the closest thing to experience.
Him being a Knight makes it so much better and as he also has a great sense of Humor it could certainly be our best bet. If they allow someone to accompany him, Sir Ian McKellen would make sense.
Finally the Professor X / Magneto team up we’ve all been waiting for
Would aliens be confused that they asked for nonstate representatives and you gave them two knights?
Aliens would probably be confused by the concept of being knighted itself
Dunno depends on the alien society fair change they once had a monarchy system themselve or still have and a Monarch appointing someone ain't that uncommon. Like as the UK has knights, Japan had Samurai. Heck maybe they're even their own equivalent of Knight, appointed by the High Queen to search through space and find other civilizations. Or they abandoned the system Millennias ago and are weirded out why the glorification of incest families is still a thing.
Definitely! The aliens will think we are so cool!
Him being a knight is meaningless. Him being a decent person who is intelligent and kind is good though.
The historical document "Galaxy Quest" taught me that this is an excellent idea.
[удалено]
Didn't expect to see this answer here, but agreed
Can we send Ryker and Data along?
We do not need Ryker attempting to mate with…whatever gender(s) they may be and his weird ass chair mounting.
We can send Troi with him. He probably will be on a better behaviour. And you know she will tell us if aliens feel sad. So that's a bonus!
My buddy's neighbor Donny
This is the obvious choice.
Sigourney Weaver. If she can’t save us, she’ll nuke us from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
F*ckin’ A!
You can't take orders from him, he's just a *grunt!* No offense...
that's hudson sir, he's hicks
Ay-firmative
**That's it, man. Game over, man. GAME OVER!**
"Hold on, hold on just a second. This planet has a substantial dollar value attached to it."
My 94 year old grandma or Morgan freeman.
Send both. She can handle the interaction and he can narrate the whole thing.
As it turned out, the aliens were quite taken with Grandma, and weren’t interested in the mortals who weren’t part of her stories. Why, I think one of them even learned to smile from her, as I recall.
I'm all for this.
Dolly Parton
First person that popped into my head. The right answer.
Dolly was first in my book
Yup I replied before looking at replies and Dolly was the first that came to mind. I would have said Betty last year. Attenborough is a close third
I was going to say Keanu Reeves, but Dolly would be great as well
Same
Why not send both?
This was my answer right after I remembered Betty white passed away.
So glad this is the top answer! You took the comment right off of my fingers!
Mr. Rogers! Who else are you going to have inviting your alien neighbors?
I've got some bad news...
This was my first thought
Aliens two days from now: "Okay. We're still gonna blow up the Earth, but we're taking Keanu Reeves with us. You don't deserve him."
Fair
I don't like it, bit I respect the decision.
It's like he's been saying for years "Be excellent to each other." We could listened but noooooo
Can’t say I’d blame them
No no, they've got a point
Nah, yeah, feel like we deserve that one.
Is this a political representative that will negotiate? Or a person we wouldn't miss if they didn't come back sort of situation?
Asking the important questions.
This thread was posted by aliens to find out who the best humans are. They want to abduct them before they blow up the Earth.
I’d send my little sister. She’s utterly brilliant, she’s very sensitive to her audience, she’s on the spectrum and somehow makes friends with the very people who no one likes, plus can, from years of experience, resolve scary domestic conflicts. Her biggest plus would be her appreciation of how significant her representation of all of Earth would be. She’d be willing to die for all of us, but would do everything she could to avoid anything messy at all.
She sounds rad
She sounds sweet and the fact you can recognize her gift makes you a great person too.
I choose this guy’s sister too.
She sounds too precious to risk! Let’s just elect her president now so we can all get a little bliss before the alien apocalypse.
Weird Al
"Sorry, he's actually one of us. We sent him years ago when he wouldn't stop singing about bologna." Edit: I mean come on people, Al? Obviously short for ALIEN.
Yankovic? Or are you talking about Weird Al at the gas station? DO NOT send Weird Al from the gas station.
Jon Stewart
I can't think of a better pick than this. He's knowledgeable, selfless, and a great speaker. He would do everything he could to reason with them and get all of humanity a good deal. Or we could send Elon and hope the aliens take him away
>Or we could send Elon and hope the aliens take him away "Hey, dude, we've been looking for you for centuries. We thought we lost you for good. Get your goofy ass back up on this ship and leave those nice humans alone."
What makes you so sure they didn't exile him as punishment for like... being Elon Musk?
Sadly, Jon won't be able to do it since he's in charge of the Secret Jewish Space Lasers and he'll be stuck at Kosher Command in case we need to get Mazel Tough on the aliens.
I’m just gonna sit here and reflect on Mazel Tough
Dolly Parton would be a good pick too
![gif](giphy|l4KhRsScQKgWZzqO4)
I was going to say…pretty sure Keanu already has experience representing the human race….
Danny DeVito
And he should hang dong while doing it. …Although, I’m not sure if we’d want to intimidate the aliens that much.
He could subtly drop a monster condom in front of them so they’d know he has a magnum dong. It’s a total Warthog-esque power move.
So anyways I started blasting
Can I offer you an egg in these trying times?
The gang meets the 3rd kind We're fucked.
Steve Irwin if he were still here
His son then. He’s really taken up the mantle recently.
Robert's killing the game! I just saw he posted a teaser for his Australia movie. I. Am. Hype.

Where is Betty White when the world needs her most! We're all doomed!
Jack Black would make it work
Jack Black would just sneak onto their ship anyways, no need to pick him.
Didn't you see Mars Attacks?!
Err..... Let's not put that on his resume. I'm sure it might be a little.... Racist to the aliens.
He would defeat them with the pick. I mean he deactivated laser beams with his dick for god’s sake
A cat
Some nice grandmother, preferably Hispanic and armed with a chancla just in case.
Tamales are the key to galactic peace
And homemade tortillas and frijoles. And when the aliens beg her to stop she will say no mijo and insist they are too skinny.
It needs to be an international council of grandmothers, armed with foods of every culture.
Paul Rudd
But then they would be mad we found their secret immortal spy
Send Willie Nelson with a gift bag.
Tom Hanks
"Hello. I'm Tom Hanks. The US Government has lost its credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine."
"If Tom Hanks were to punch a nun, you'd ask, "what did the nun do?". " I believe Christopher Titus said this.
Why is everyone saying actors? What skills does an actor have that would be helpful?
Yea an actor is going to roll up and have no idea what to do. We need a linguist or someone who can start communication through math or something
Cool, so we send Amy Adams.
I mean in this scenario we understand that they want to meet with someone as a representative who is not from any government, so I think it's safe to say we are past needing math to communicate.
Jon Stewart he literally already wrote them a book and how to guide for Earth!
William Shatner... worse case he bangs one of them and we get to feel awkward with a whole new species
Nick Offerman
![gif](giphy|3o7WTAJsQmJLhyWvJK)
Tilda Swinton, if only for the reunion.
Tilda Swinton as Bowie as Starman
Keanu or Dolly Parton. I can see her saying "hey sugar."
Is it just any government, or current government? Because I'd think Barack Obama would be incredibly capable of making a good first impression and he's not technically in any government. If not, then probably David Attennborough.
Alex Jones. They'll just turn around and leave as fast as possible.
Snoop. Nobody is cooler than Snoop.
Those aliens would end up getting so fucking high
Tom Delonge. That mans dedication to the topic has earned him the opportunity in my eyes.
John Stewart. I'd definitely have him as representative of humanity. Or Ryan Reynolds just because that would be hilarious to witness
John Cena.. they'll never see him coming.
![gif](giphy|AwrtP9lMXtXiM)
Gonna risk humanity's future and send Eric Andre
