Saw this short back in the early 80's, and loved it! (still have it on an aging VHS after taping it from TV way back then...)
My brother and I still quote from it to this day!
A brilliant parody of "Close Encounters" and wonderfully silly. Great "bad" acting throughout, and you won't be able to hear the that five tone alien greeting without a grin after this...
A couple favorite quotes:
(after seeing the number 3.14159 being repeated on the computer screen) "It just keeps saying the same thing....huh...it just keeps saying the same thing!" "Wait! I was a mathematician before I became a bad actor, that number is pi!"
"hmmmm..this means something..."
