The Twilight Zone - A Traveler

"You're entering a realm which is unusual. Maybe it's magic, or contains some kind of monster ... The second one. Prepare to enter the Scary Door." - Futurama (I Dated A Robot)
It's like they based this show on the Futurama parody version. This episode is literally just "there's a weird creepy guy - turns out he's an alien." And that's it. That's the whole fucking episode. It's just weird for the sake of weirdness and then at the end there's an alien invasion that doesn't actually explain or justify anything that happened.

This is the alien in disguise. All he does is act mysterious and annoy people.
An alien shows up at some arsehole's Christmas party, pisses everyone off, and then "tricks" the guy into revealing some classified information that aliens with the power of interstellar space travel couldn't possibly need. And it's not even an intriguing mystery because the whole premise of the show is that inexplicable stuff just happens for no reason. But it's supposed to have some kind of point and this doesn't, as far as I can see. Complete waste of time.

I guess maybe the point was that cops are terrible? I'm not sure that was intentional though.
