The "monster from space".

A spacecraft has been attacked by some sort of force ray and everyone starts choking because of the "space air flooding in". The captain then tells the crew to put their goggles on, which makes them breathe normally. The captain lights a cigarette, then looks through the periscope and finds they're on a collision course with a "monster from space", which is actually a dog in a spacesuit.

Reactions

Lisa is appalled about the monster from space being a dog in a spacesuit. Bart doesn't mind and looks closely at the dog to determine which gender it is.

Behind the Laughter
