He had a logical explanation for every potential encounter. He gathered the facts. As K said later, there are x amount of aliens living on this planet and most of them are decent enough just trying to get by. One of those in the range could have been “just trying to get by”. The soldiers just acted out of a stereotype. It’s not hard to comprehend we just have to sit back and objectively think about it.

Time 6:54: J asking K when the last time he had a CAT scan. Time 7:35, J thinking "I need a CAT scan!"

[@johnwotek3816]

Two things I've noticed that are hillarious here: -You have two USMC applicant, but one of them, for some reason, decided to show up in his dress blues instead of his alpha like the rest of the military applicant. -When Zed goes to K, the military dudes are fucking around and pointing their gun at kay, disregarding the most basic gun safety rules.

[@masonhorsley1505]

Another good clue is the fact that Tiffany was the only human on the shooting range, usually therell be more than one to throw you off. When you play whack a mole, they don't just throw one need-to-avoid hit

[@blackmetalgamer6694]

Will smith is the only one that checked if the saftey switch was on

500 years ago everybody knew the earth was flat... and 15 minutes ago you knew that people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll learn tomorrow...

"Why the big secret? People are smart, they can handle it" "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it!" Possibly the most profound 10 seconds in any movie. Ever.

[@Bonbonbon739]

He referred to the military guy calling him “ Captain America” but doesn’t like it when his wife is called “ G.I. Jane” 😂

5:15 These "best of the best" can't practice basic gun safety and aims the gun straight at Edwards for a second, the others in the back strafe him too. They are talking about all the shots they took, Edwards taking a closer look at the aliens. Little detail I never noticed before now.

"You're everything we've to come expect from years of government training" : the burn is real ah ah

[@randallvargas4457]

Gentlemen, you're everything we've come to expect from years of Government training. lol!

What is missed about the egg seats was the table was the test. Also none of them safed their weapons.

[@kazuthesamurai7346]

Hollywood films used to be immersive and sincere

2:15… I don’t know why but I find that absolutely hilarious. Just the fact that he didn’t know it was sealed and the look on his face like oh my gosh, what did I just do and try to play it off like it’s cool. I remember we had different tests that we would do occasionally, and they would be sealed like this, so in school, I would randomly think of the scene and try to hold back my laughter. Now that I’m an old fart at 30, I am glad I still have a sense of humor!

[@Jigagots]

Will Smith was way cooler before he started slapping people around..

[@Muttonchop57]

...and one year ago you thought you could still attend the Oscars.

[@AdamZimmerman-c6i]

7:16 I can’t believe I never noticed that one or the coffee aliens said “Oh shit!” 😂 I wonder if that was intentional or not

[@DreadfulOne8173]

i never notice J was one of the only peeps to check his gun before putting it down nicely.

[@BrianBull]

I like how K just cares about his running skills haha

[@hello3146]

Just want to say that I love the way Tommy Lee Jones is aging. I hope he never retires and I can watch him until one of us goes. Also, after reading Wills book, it is a clue to the violence at the Oscars.

[@annexxia9605]

I like that sideeye from Jensen, with honors ^^, that says "you should know, he just told us"

[@LongJumpingSurprise]

“People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.” Case in point; when the dockworkers strike began, people started hoarding toilet paper again.

[@Juan-fw6iw]

3:14 it's pure genius, the annoying sound and the rest of the officers just taking a look at Will

[@89five3five]

Every once in a while Hollywood will produce original gems like MIB.

[@jakecaffery4063]

I love that Kay was laughing and it’s just that no one could hear it
