A green-skinned alien in a red bodysuit swings a bronze sword that shatters in a burst of sparks against the iron sword of a human soldier in camouflage gear. The alien exclaims, "Blast! Their iron is much stronger than our bronze!" A caption beneath reads, "The alien invaders were easily dispatched" — the joke being that an interstellar invading force still hasn't advanced past the Bronze Age. Votey: a close-up of the alien's face glancing down in horror, realizing, "Oh God I'm wearing my pajamas!"
