I recently saw some very funny memes about Star Wars (which I'll post below),
so I thought about starting a thread about jokes about science fiction, e.g. SF movies.

Please share funny jokes, pictures and memes about SF and their stories in this thread.

And, yes, I know, I'm such a huge SF nerd. :smile:

Newbie: Star Wars isn't Science Fiction, it's cowboys in space. Go read some Asimov.

My favorite avant-garde SF writer/director is David Lynch; definitely the funniest.

"Eraserhead" epitomizes the SF industrial wasteland trope while bringing total-body vomiting into mainstream moviemaking.

Herbert purists may argue the merits of "Dune"'s script but the Space Guild voices and Atriedes battle language transmissions are beyond cool. Sting is hilarious as the evil Feyd. Also liked the Bene Gesserit outfits and precise speech. Baby Alia in her Reverend Mother robes lisps, "Could he be the Kwisach Haderach?"

I laughed harder watching "Twin Peaks" than during an entire season of Saturday Night Live (SNL).
