Alien News Desk is a sci-fi animated comedy series which premiered back in 2019 on Syfy. Each episode features bizarre extraterrestrial news stories presented by the alien newscasters Drexx Drudlarr and Tuva Van Void. Season 1 Episode 1 is titled "Ungrateful Wads of Protein."

The episode begins with Drexx and Tuva reporting from their news desk, located on an alien planet in a faraway universe. The duo presents the top intergalactic news of the day, which includes a story about a group of humans who were abducted by an alien spaceship. The aliens demand that the humans show some gratitude for the fact that they are not being subjected to experiments or probes.

Next, Drexx and Tuva show clips of a popular interplanetary reality show called "Alien Idol" where a reptilian singer gets booed off the stage by the audience after she reveals her true alien form. The duo also covers a story about a monstrous creature terrorizing a small town on a distant planet, leaving destruction and chaos in its wake.

As the news broadcast continues, it becomes apparent that the "Ungrateful Wads of Protein" mentioned in the episode title are none other than humans. The aliens present evidence of human atrocities and crimes against their kind, such as tossing garbage into space and stealing advanced technology. They also show footage of humans using alien technology for their own selfish purposes, including creating genetically modified organisms and viral transmissions.

Drexx and Tuva interject with their own hilarious commentary throughout the episode, with Drexx offering up snarky one-liners and Tuva's deadpan delivery providing perfect contrast. The duo's humorous banter adds an extra layer of absurdity to the bizarre news stories they present.

The episode wraps up with a segment on alien fashion trends, which features models strutting down the runway in outlandish outfits made from bizarre materials. Drexx and Tuva provide commentary on the outrageous designs, with Drexx questioning whether the alien fashionistas are "trying to be hip or just plain hip-replacement candidates."

Overall, "Ungrateful Wads of Protein" sets the tone for the rest of the series with its offbeat humor and zany alien news stories. The show's unique blend of sci-fi and comedy makes it entertaining for fans of both genres. Whether you're a fan of aliens, irreverent humor, or just enjoy a good laugh, Alien News Desk is definitely worth checking out.
