Hollywood Riot

It’s hard to imagine anything cooler than a real, live intergalactic space alien. Having said that, some aliens are definitely cooler than others. (Just like Hollywood Riot readers are way cooler than people who read TMZ or this website.)

Some aliens you’d want to invite to a BBQ and some you’d rather freeze for research. Here’s a list of the aliens I’d most like to split a bottle of tequila with. And no, you will not find Jar Jar Binks on this list.

10. ALF A.L.F. (Alien Life Form) was a saucy little guy. He resembled a puppet more than a space alien, but that just added to his charm. He was always getting into some kind of hilarious mischief. And he had more one-liners than Rodney Dangerfield.

9. Predator Alien vs Predator? Please. Everyone knows Predator is way cooler. Between the dreadlocks and that beaker of acid, this guy’s got it going on.

8. The Coneheads What could be better than an alien that looked and sounded like Dan Akroyd?

7. ET He may not be cool, per say, but he’s very sweet and he’s got a glowing finger that makes plants grow. Do you have a glowing finger that makes plants grow? I didn’t think so.

6. Thundercats Snarf, in particular, was very cool. Snaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrfffff! These aliens also had a surprisingly catchy theme song. Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder CATS! It just wreaked of coolness.

5. Ewoks What’s not to love here? You can’t understand what they’re saying, but you don’t need to because you know they know what’s up. They’re cute like E.T but they can kick some major ass, too. Totally awesome.

4. The Electric Grandmother Okay, she was more of an android, but whatever. That bitch was cool. She poured orange juice out of her finger. Orange juice! Out of her finger! Totally rad.

3. Chewbacca Chewy is the man. Tough, but tender, this furry, foreign Bigfoot would be a total blast to hang with. Imagine walking into the bar with Chewbacca. It would have to be done in slow motion it would be so cool.

2. The Apes (Planet of the Apes) Are these guys cool? Hell yes. They’re just not very friendly. But you’ve gotta admit, we kind of deserve the cold shoulder.

1. Yoda Number one he is. I am not anticipating any argument here. Yoda is, and will always be, the absolute coolest alien of all time.
