45. Sounds like sci-fi in general

1: In the future, white people still won't be able to dance


What do the black people do in the future? And everybody of every other color? Even the purple and yellow spotted horse people, they were at an intergalactic conference once...


2: In the vacuum of space, spaceships and explosions sure do make a hell of a lot of noise


Otherwise it wouldn't be exciting...


3: Everyone in the universe understands how time is measured on Earth ("your Earth minutes" "your Earth hours")


Everytime sci-fi dares to speak in alien terms, people are going to get confused and turned off. Fantast can't stretch too far into reality or else it'll be lost on all.


4: By now, we should all be wearing pastel spandex jumpsuits at all times


Cool! :D


5: Everything, no matter how large, has a self-destruct button, machine, procedure, briefcase, etc.


People have learned how to deal with paranoia.


6: Evolution all over the universe converges on intelligent beings with two arms and two legs, no matter how weird the heads turn out. Quite the co-incidence, ain't it?


It costs money to make rubber costumes. That's why network execs eyeballing sci-fi love humanoid androids and doubly-especially those quite commonplace invisible species... :D
