    This is just a rewritten version of a rewritten joke. There’s been one specific image that’s been shared widely for many years, it’s a tweet I think but I can’t find it ATM. It’s something like this:

    Aliens: We’re going to force you to work for us. Human: Oh, we’re already doing that for our leaders. Aliens: We’re going to destroy your planet and make it toxic! Humans: Oh man, you’re not gonna believe this!

    I can’t remember it exactly but that’s the gist. There’s also the classic:

    Aliens: we’ve killed all your leaders, destroyed your economy and are going to take over your government.

    Humans; oh thank fucking God, thank you!

    Aliens: wait, what?

      I’m sure it is, but I’m not sure why people feel the need to point out that a joke is being retold. It happens all the time. There’s a documentary all about how retelling a joke doesn’t make it any less funny, even when the punchline makes no sense, because it’s all in how you tell it.
