OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Men in Black Makes Alien Bodies a Workplace Problem
The joke is bureaucratic: the impossible body is processed through desks, forms, tests, uniforms, and protocols. Wonder becomes workplace onboarding.
Why it works
The intake and training scenes make alien reality legible by treating it as procedure. The comedy comes from scale mismatch between cosmic weirdness and deadpan administrative competence.
