30 YEARS Created by Dark box

This is a darkly comedic animated short (or comic strip turned into a video) that tells a twisted sci-fi horror story with a punchline. Here’s what happens step by step:


















1. A couple (young man and woman) are out at night when a huge spherical alien spacecraft crashes violently right next to them.
2. They freak out, screaming in terror.
3. Pieces of the ship fly everywhere; the aliens inside are clearly injured or dying.
4. One alien staggers out and collapses.
5. The woman, still panicking, runs away screaming.
6. Over the following years/decades, the couple secretly keeps the crashed aliens hidden in their barn/shed and forces them to reproduce so they can harvest and raise baby aliens.
7. They treat the aliens like livestock, breeding generation after generation.
8. The original aliens age and die, but the humans keep the younger generations captive.
9. Eventually the humans (now old themselves) manage to repair the massive spaceship using tools and parts over 30 whole years.
10. Once it’s fixed, a new small escape pod/shuttle launches from the ship and flies away into space.
11. The old couple and their now fully grown “children” (who are actually the alien offspring they raised) wave goodbye happily.
12. Inside the pod: the original aliens (now mutated, deformed, and insane from decades of captivity and forced breeding) are finally escaping Earth, overjoyed to be free, with a little heart symbol showing they bizarrely still love the humans who enslaved them.








The final caption:
“IT TOOK 30 YEARS TO REPAIR THEIR SPACECRAFT”
The joke is the complete role reversal: the humans thought they were the ones in control, farming the aliens, but the aliens were actually the stranded astronauts the whole time, and the “happy family” raising them were their captors/torturers for three decades. The aliens are deliriously happy to finally escape the nightmare. It’s a brutal, ironic twist delivered in cute cartoon style.
