A lot of funny material made this weekend’s Louis C.K.-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live, but, as always, at least one solid sketch was left on the floor after dress rehearsal. Fortunately, that sketch, “Space Encounter,” is streaming on Hulu now. In the clip, C.K. is a hostile but asexual alien interested in destroying Earth, but also interested in posters of shirtless human dudes, or as he calls it, “Earth guy art.” It didn’t land a ton of laughs in dress rehearsal, but it’s a pretty solid (if weird) sketch. C.K.’s surprisingly believable as an alien, even with lines like “It’s called ‘Chad irons his Earth shirt.’”
