The Day The Galaxy Realized Humans Are NOT Cute | Best HFY Stories

[@digitalis2977]

The fact that the Greys weren't made aware of the existence of Puppies before they left is criminal.

[@colbymusic-lv8rw]

I appreciate how wholesome the aliens were. Instead of trying to wipe ys or our friends from the face of the galaxy, they just wanted friends, although they could've just asked 😂😂😂

[@Kindnesso2]

The part where they hug is enough to make a grow man cry. BUT NO THIS GROW MAN, GET BACK IN THERE TEAR!!! But fr tho 10/10 story, better than the usual ‘Humans are better than aliens stories’ that come out!

[@valynazvalkynaz5375]

I did not expect that I would be tearing up and almost crying, over a story like this, holy cow.....

[@logankraft8711]

52:12 kinda surprised they didn't default to aggression and just punch the heck outta that gray before going "no time left" and having Emily frantically begin studying the controls as he runs for the others.

[@umaiar]

What a voice, I can't help but imagine the actor Sam Elliott reading this. 😂

[@bella42291]

Reminds me of the guy from parks and recreation.

[@Wunderturd2]

Sounds more like Kentucky or Tennessee. I feel like he could voice a bourbon afficionado channel. Maybe a little south. Sam Elliot is further west, Midwest,southwest. This narrator's drawl has a rounding, up, moving to low, like a song that has rhythm based in varying transition and tempo changes that draw you in and keep you enspelled but not bored with repetition. Texas is a long, lazy draw. They refuse to be rushed and will speak with more relaxed drawl if pushed

[@eddiethepothos2648]

why didn't the greys just make first contact after returning im sure many humans would want to work with them and some people would love being treated as a pet

[@JMM33RanMA]

Very Star Trek, there is suspicion first and then the humans and aliens find common ground. That's good reason to visit this channel.

[@mischavanasperen3063]

Another great voice actor! I like the voices of the Greys, he makes them sound like friendly and caring versions of Agent Smith! Kinda sad story tho, imagine our dog/cat/bird turns out to be sapient and feeling imprisoned.. 😭

[@fillinman1]

Dogs,? Maybe. Cats,? No Way! They moved in with us Cuz they felt like it. They'll leave if they like.

[@johntheherbalistg8756]

Sapient or not, I promise our pet birds feel that way. Some dogs and cats probably do (ie apartment pets), but not so much if they have company and/or things to do because they evolved with us

[@jayster5077]

Hell you can kidnap me

[@joseglenn20]

I would'nt come back.

[@PikaEast]

Same lol

[@Atou_Mahogany]

I have just ONE problem with the story. If the Greys were the ones who directly abducted the humans, how did they not know that humans were smart enough establish basic communication? They had to have observed Earth long enough to at least seen we have a functioning society. So them being caught off guard when as they were to our level of intelligence during the reveal is... Unbelievable, for seemingly such an amicable species. In my opinion, what would have made the setting work, would be if there was a third species of aliens that had captured the Humans and given/traded/sold them to the Greys as a newly discovered type of animal companion to cure their loneliness. If that had been how things started, then everything else that happens in the story would fit perfectly.

[@RADIOHFY]

We have the mis-interpretation of the Saurani shoe report to thank for that. It was briefly mentioned at the beginning 😉.

[@Atou_Mahogany]

@@RADIOHFY That... Does not make things any better. For one, it relies on the reader knowing about the context of another seemingly unrelated story to understand the huge gap of logic that takes place in the story they are currently experiencing, which was also off handed said in a "blink and you'll miss it" line of dialogue; which at the very least I certainly did the first time. 2:26 Second, you expect me to believe that, even after reading a report of a society based based around the HUGE CULTURE of footwear that humanity has, the Greys never considered humanity would be intelligent enough to understand a written language? Third, this brings in ANOTHER plot hole into the story. If the Greys took all the precautions needed to give people an adequate living space away from Earth, and if we assume they are just using knowledge that comes from the Saurani Shoe Report instead of what they could easily observe for them selves, then why was there no copious mentions of the Greys providing the Humans with thousands of different types of footwear? Why was the Grey who was taking our protagonist for his walks not giving him a different pair of shoes every outing? These details clash too much to work together! Either the Greys took people and willfully ignored the literal writing on the walls from billboards and advertising, or they only bothered to raise their humans off of just using the Saurani Shoe Report and were being neglectful in providing shoes; which would be the equivalent of housing a frog without water.

[@RADIOHFY]

You could definitely be onto something there. Maybe they wanted a cute human so bad they were willing to ignore the obvious signs that humans were intelligent. Do humans do something similar? Maybe there is some hidden statement… maybe it was just fun to write… who knows…

[@judahsmyth5398]

besides the obvious negative of the fact the Greys somehow abducting humans without realizing humans made/make a lot of stuff, which pets shouldn't be able to do, i don't get the fact that the Greys are telepathic, which to me suggests they should be able to read thoughts, and yet they seemingly can't read the thoughts of the humans, which would have either made it much easier to realize the humans aren't dumb pets, or made it impossible to even try to plan an escape without incredible mental control from the humans to force all thoughts out of their minds

[@johntheherbalistg8756]

17:15 Gotta be the heaviest "ok" in all of human history 😂 Edit at the end: Nah, don't believe those lying ass xenos. There's way too much going on on Earth for them to mistake us as "pets."

[@petercoderch589]

"The Day The Galaxy Realized Humans Are NOT Cute." This is not true. Humans are definitely cute. Ever seen a fat baby hugging a cat?

[@jimmark8065]

While I enjoyed the story I had a few problems with it. When the Greys abducted the humans how had they failed to notice the cities, world spanning infrastructure, satellites in orbit, man made objects on the moon and probes on Mars? They must have missed all that to think humans were little more than the pets they believed them to be. Why would they let them take an escape pod that humans can then reverse engineer rather than returning them the way they picked them up? This access to advanced technology could have devastating consequences. This is something aliens as advanced and well meaning as the Greys are should have considered.

[@guardbrosfielddesk]

Octopi can open jars and make homes for themselves out of shells, and we deep fry them with a slice of lemon.

[@ervvmuller6020]

Just their mass-produced Clothes (in addition to many other clues) should have given them all the clues an intelligent species should have needed. MASSIV plot hole.--> bad writing.

[@guardbrosfielddesk]

@@ervvmuller6020 Yes and I'm sure this sentiment was carried out through human his- Oh, wait. An alien species able to travel faster than light would look at Humans the same way the British looked at uncontacted tribes. Remember the Human zoos?

[@RADIOHFY]

⁠this is exactly the right line of thought.

[@colbymusic-lv8rw]

I have arrived, good to see yall again❤

[@MaxPSVR]

I’m sure that there would be no small number of people who would love to sign up to the alien human adoption program. As long as aliens have been given proper training on how to look after their pet humans and keep them well and happy

[@Venerated1337]

WOOOOO! 1HR VIDEO! FAVORITE NARRATOR!

[@tzmmm]

How do you abduct a species with continent spanning, industrialized, civilizations and think they're simple animals?

[@laughingcloud3516]

you would be surprised what someone who thinks another is as beneath them as a dog will unknowingly overlook. It's even worse when they don't realize they are doing it and think they are helping with their actions.

[@gabriellemos2491]

@@umaiar so much time was spent on the "escape plan" only for, in the end, it didn't even matter I had no problem with how the humans were written here

[@umaiar]

@@gabriellemos2491 I can see that as a valid criticism, though I personally don't see it that way. I think coming up with an escape plan still fits a human behavior standard, even if it's not used in the end. I think they were going for a plot twist against some standardized and worn out HFY tropes, but it felt more like completely shifting gears rather than a plot twist. It would've been more interesting to have the escape plan initiated, and then interrupted with a surprisingly peaceful interaction. But I still want to give it credit for the realism that we sometimes make plans where they're not needed. As a species, we do frequently find communication to be difficult through cultural misunderstandings.

The repetition/redundancy? I don't think that's a narration issue, my guess would be perhaps AI assistance with the writing, or just hurried writing in order to keep up with the upload schedule.

[@joshuathomason5729]

Editing mistakes maybe?

[@leejones2148]

@joshuathomason5729 maybe, but I've also picked up on a fair few incredibly mispronounced words (in other stories) that no, midly articulate human, would rightly say..... I mean I don't really care as I still enjoy the stories and narration (much better than most other channels) but can't help the suspicion creeping in 🤷‍♂️

Awesome story, love it. However, if you drop the EXCAPE (it is eScape) and stop axing other words here and there I would appreciate it.

[@ervvmuller6020]

Sorry, it is completely nonsensical. You need a better reason for the Aliens to come to the exceedingly dumb conclusion we r just pets. Like picking up a caveman, A totally different technology (Biological, Pure energy, different plane of existence, whatever) so they don't see and /or connect all the Craftsmanship on earth as signs of intelligence. Like this, only bottomless arrogance would drive the Aliense to such behavior. And that would have made a better story. More conflict.

[@RADIOHFY]

Conflict is so boring to write.
