ALF will never die.

“I kill me!”

You’d probably have trouble explaining Mr. Robot to a friend without at least one use of the word “weird,” and last night’s Season 2 midpoint “eps2.4_m4ster-s1ave.aes” may have upped that quotient considerably.

We here at the Weekly Dose of Ridiculous want you to know that we value your integrity as a pop culture enthusiast. That's why we've gathered the most ridiculous stories of the week in one convenient place for your reading pleasure.

Are you ready for an 'Alf' movie? You know, that lovable, furry little alien that reminds you of your obnoxious uncle from Long Island and, like your obnoxious uncle from Long Island, has a taste for cat flesh. Remember him? Yeah, let's give that guy a movie.
