About this video

Once upon a time, an alien named Ned was sent to Earth with the mission to conquer the human race. But once he stepped foot on our planet, he became completely mesmerized by pop culture and celebrities, so instead of conquering us, he started his own talk show! It was then only a matter of time before the ultimate authority on all things pop culture, Young Hollywood, found their way to Ned's underground talk show lair! We drop in on Jim Henson Studios to visit the incredible set of the Disney+ show, and do not adjust your TV screens -- that is not CGI but honest-to-goodness puppets and animatronics! We meet Ned himself, along with his co-host Cornelius and the ship's A.I. BETI, and dish on our mutually favorite topic: pop culture! We get the alien visitor's thoughts on such uniquely human innovations like social media, memes, dating apps, and eyebrows!

Talking Memes

Oh, have we? Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

What are you gonna make an account?

Talking Memes

I I believe we already have an account. I believe we have Earth to N all over the social media

Young Hollywood

How do you feel about posting and like telling everybody how your lives?

Talking Memes

Well, I mean, you know, it's not something we do on a regular basis.

Young Hollywood

Do you care about how many likes you get?

Talking Memes

Um, yeah, well of course.

Young Hollywood

Comments?

Talking Memes

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

How do you? I I do. I think so. I cared more about it and then I was like, you know what, it's fine. It's like I like people it's fine if I don't get that many likes, but I go through and I stalk and look for like certain people's likes. And I'm like, oh, like he liked my photo. Oh my god. Yeah.

Talking Memes

Really? Now, why is that? Why is that? Explain that to me.

Young Hollywood

It's because it's like say you have like a crush on someone and they like your photo. You're like, it's like, okay, they must love me. You know? Oh, yeah. They must be in love with me. You know? Like they liked my photo. That like that means a lot, right?

Talking Memes

So, this tractor company liked one of my photos. So, that tractor company has a crush on me?

Young Hollywood

I'm, I'd safe to say. All right, I would assume you should probably DM them. Yeah. All right, John Deere.

Talking Memes

Ned's account is Ned from TV.

Young Hollywood

Ned from TV. Does he does he post with you?

Talking Memes

Yeah. Betty's is from is called Betty or not?

Young Hollywood

Betty or not? That's a good one, that's a good one. Who came up with that name?

Talking Memes

I don't know, we have we have people.

Young Hollywood

You have tons of people doing that. And they figure it out. Oh yeah, definitely. What's one thing that shocks you so much about our human culture?

Talking Memes

Oh I thought the way you're going with that is that you're gonna say what's one and one. And I was gonna say I don't know. But I think it's two.

Young Hollywood

I ask you a question again. What is the one thing that shocks you most about us human culture, pop culture?

Talking Memes

Wow. There's so much. Mm. There's so much. Once I got over your eyeballs being stuck in your skulls. Oh. Let's see. You guys just you do so much with the art and the language and your movies and your music. We don't have any of that on my planet.

Young Hollywood

None? Where we come from. What do you do for entertainment there? What do you like what do you have?

Talking Memes

We have nothing. No movies, no music. Nothing. We're busy fighting wars.

Young Hollywood

Now that you're here, do you watch the movies?

Talking Memes

Oh, please, oh, please. Everything. We love popular culture. We love everything there is. We love everything. And we love to talk over each other, too. Watch this. Yeah. Cornelius talking to him. I think it's not. I'm talking. I think it's not. I just love it and you'll love it too.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I love it too. And you love it. Time out little buddy. This is how you do a talk show, right? Yeah, 100%. You're doing everything right. Everything right. What's the funniest thing? Funniest thing about us.

Talking Memes

Oh my god. Besides the eyeballs being stuck in the back. Oh, the funniest thing. When a dad and a son have a Wiffle ball and a Wiffle ball bat. Well, you know what happens next. I think it's funny that you think that anything you do matters. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Yes, Betty. She's an existential laugh a minute. Yeah. What is what is that? Elaborate on that one.

Talking Memes

Nothing has any meaning.

Young Hollywood

You don't think so?

Talking Memes

No.

Young Hollywood

Why not?

Talking Memes

Because I know everything, and I know that everything is nothing, and nothing is everything. That's. I've seen all possible outcomes. It's pretty much the same.

Young Hollywood

So, can you can you like tell the future if you can say possible outcomes?

Talking Memes

No one can tell the future. What do I look like? The psychic? Get it together. Oh, bye. She hasn't seen enough Baby Yoda yet. Not yet. The memes, the memes. How do you feel about memes?

Young Hollywood

All right, now, the memes are interesting to me. They're so funny. Well, you have to I guess you have to pick your meme. What like let's see. Give me an example of a good meme that you would laugh at.

Talking Memes

A good I mean, the Baby Yoda ones are hilarious. They're good. Hilarious. The captions that go with them. Right. They're so funny. Um.

Young Hollywood

So, how do you do a meme?

Talking Memes

I think it's one of the things like like us people on social media just make it big ourselves. And then we decide, you know, to caption it. It's the captions that people come up with. That go with it.

Young Hollywood

How much time does it take to do a meme?

Talking Memes

I would say you have to be naturally funny to make a really funny meme. So, probably two seconds.

Young Hollywood

Oh, I'll tell you what. You're gonna come up with a meme of me. So, I'm just gonna strike a pose. Oh, jeez. Okay. Well, you asked for it. And if you didn't, you should have. Here we go. I'm gonna strike a pose and you come up with a meme for me. Okay. Here we go. Let's see.

Talking Memes

Well, because of your outfit, I would say when you have to when you're hanging out at like eight and going to like a party at nine. Which no one's laughing at that, like it's totally fine.

Young Hollywood

No, the reason we're not laughing is we can't. We're not allowed. You see. Try it, try it again. Try it again. Try it again. I'm giving you I'm giving you something else. I was I was thinking. Go ahead. I'm not see, you have to be naturally funny to come up with the memes. Aren't you naturally funny?

Talking Memes

I'm naturally I am. I am naturally funny. But meme naturally funny is a whole different level. Oh, I understand. Whole different level. Okay. What about you? How about a meme for me? Are you doing? I'll come up with one for you. Ready? Go.

Talking Memes

I have a feeling when you when you're on the way back to where you came from, you're gonna demand that one is gonna resonate. It it's you know, it might grow on us. It might grow on me. It might grow on me. Okay, another question. Yeah. So, dating apps. Right. Bumble, Hinge, Tinder, all that stuff. Yeah. What are your opinions on that?
