I take your point, but there is a quality gulf between humour and silly!

And they play silly music to us? They could easily take over our TV and radio channels and drive us insane.
Humans, as it happens, like to hear harmonies that are simple frequency ratios, like the octave which is a doubling in frequency ( 2:1 ), or other simple ratios like 2:3 or 3:4.
But play two keys very close together on your piano and you get something awful sounding - a more complex ratio like 31:44 or whatever. Humans hate that. It sounds bad.
If only someone in Close Encounters said 'you have Interstellar ships and all you can do is play that silly tonal thing?'
But what if Aliens like it?
And they inflict it on us?
argghh!

They do lame o practical jokes.
They use silly voices for so called comedic effect.
They idolise Carrot Top and Simon Cowell.
Yes, they show us the way to the stars, but they are also a bit of a let down. I think it a valid point to make that aliens may not conform to behaviour that we expect of them.
I would be disappointed and irked.

oh my!
Actually, The first thought I have, Is a scene in the movie "When Mars Attacks clip!" With Jack Nicholson.
The part near the end where the US sends a nuke missile to blow up the 'mother-ship' and before it reaches, the Martians send out a suck-u-bus thingy and captures the entire nuclear explosion....then flys back in, and the leader smokes it and makes fun!
Good stuff
