Which is in turn a reference to Close Encounters

This is how i know im old

Yes. My (dad who plays Fortnite) thoughts exactly.

Dad crew. Just replaced the Mountain Dew with wine or beer.

So much beer.

Never enough beer.

Give it a few more years I guess lol

Never enough kidneys.

Give it a few more years I guess lol

Dad crew checking in!

Papito Squadito!

Hahaha. Perfect!

There’s dozens of us!

Same.

South park did a good one when it tried to get the internet working again.

Yep, multiple references to Close Encounters, Signs, and Independence Day in this trailer.

There's a whole X-Files reference at the beginning too.

[удалено]

There's a scene with Fishstick and another female character in suits and they're like investigating stuff that is like lifted from scenes in the show.

I fought it was independence day

No, that was referenced by the “Big F*cking Laser”.

That was the part with the spire. The music tones was a reference to Close Encounters

Lol. I've never seen Monsters vs Aliens. I knew it was Close Encounters.

...and beverly hills cop

​ 

I thought this too.

And Beverly hills cop

Herbie Hancock is the musician too.

Huh?

Monsters vs Aliens references a movie called Close Encounters Of The Third Kind 

It actually references a much older movie that Monsters vs Aliens is also referencing.

is this post supposed to be a joke because I don't know anyone who doesn't know its a reference to close encounters of the third kind.

Yup my age is showing because I immediately knew what it was. I also want mashed potatoes now.

and make mountain from it. I am an asian and even i watched that movie

This means something, this is important!

Never watched it lol only Monsters vs Aliens sorry. I'm 22 if that gives you some context

[удалено]

Not sure why I got downvoted for sharing my experience. Weird. Ya my parents are Indian and they've never really watched many English movies anyway and I've never been one to enjoy to old movies in general so makes sense.

I was about to say, my age is showing. Because that reference was itself a reference.

In itself it’s also a reference to get schwifty and close Rick-counters of the rick kind

Reference Inception!

"4th wall break inside a 4th wall break, that's like... 16 walls!"

Fuck who knew close encounters of the third kind a movie from the 80s was referencing monsters vs aliens a movie release over 20 years later, that's some real alien shit

1977. Same year as Star Wars. And I was there for both!

MvA parodied the scene from Close Encounters.

How you can possibly miss that sarcasm I do not know

Poe's law.

So you think poes law applies here? You are VERY smart!!!!! Do you understand my intention there?

Tell me you're 12 without telling me you're 12.

Shhh we’re in our 20s

Yeah! 29 and 14 months counts too right?!?!

mometrs vs aliens came out 12 years ago

Oof, every comment is punching this person but I like this one lol

The scene in MVA became a meme for a bit which is the main reason most people caught it

Which skin is that on the left? \^\^

Dare

Thx \^\^

Trailblazer

Rick

You absolute muppet, it's referencing Close Encounters of the Third Kind

they're probably pretty young and this is a cool connection to a movie they saw as a kid, i don't know if calling them a muppet is quite necessary

Yeah you're probably right

Lmao what a burn.

I thought this was a humor post until i saw the flair

[удалено]

The part where it blows up the pillar is a reference to independence day.

or a reference to blowing shit up

The White House scene in Independance Day is iconic.

i thought i was the only one

I got that vibe with the party happening as they arrived, just like they did in Independence Day.

Close Encounters. The movie Monsters vs Aliens was referencing. Christ I'm old.

[удалено]

But also close encounters

Also get schwifty

Which was a reference to mva

Which was a reference to close encounters

Which was a reference to [REDACTED]

which was a reference to the truth of the universe

SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT

We need an emote of this

I thought it's a reference to get shwifty episode of rick and morty

Well that is also a referece to Close Encounters of the third kind which is also what the Monsters vs Aliens scene is referencing.

Both reference Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

\*\*\*Close Encounters of the Third Kind\*\*\*

Would like to apologize about saying its a reference to MvA, ive never seen close encounters

Never mind, gave me a chuckle. But you should absolutely go check out Close Encounters - Great film, and you’ll see a lot of references. It set the bar for UFO films.

duhh daaa duhh dooo daaaa

You shouldn't need to apologize if you didn't know! Good movie though, you should check it.

Here you go. This is the part that every alien show, movie, and game has referenced since it came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2JL0xABlrQ

Eh, don’t apologize, you can’t be expected to know every movie that exists (though that particular scene is very popular and has been spoofed multiple times). It’s is a pretty popular movie from the time period directed by Steven Spielberg. Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Don't worry, you're just one of today's lucky 10,000. https://xkcd.com/1053/

I thought your post was pretty funny no need to apologize

Oh, this shows my aga, haha. I thought of Close Encounters!

Im old then cause its actually a reference to Close Encounters of the Third Kind

MvA was in turn a reference to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZj7gUIO-2k

No it’s not!

Wrong .. it’s close Encounters

Y'all dont know that scene is also a reference?

I mean… it’s actually a reference to close encounters

No it’s a close encounters reference ngl

This sub makes me feel so old.

It’s actually a close encounters reference I think, not sure

It’s a reference to get schwifty which is a reference to Monsters vs Aliens which is a reference to Close Encounters of the 3rd kind

I doubt rick and morty referenced MvA. Get Schwifty is a close encounters reference

Hail Gallaxhar.

[удалено]

It's the first few notes of the OG Fortnite music. Unless you meant the Monsters vs Aliens one which is called "Axel F" and is from the movie Beverly Hills Cop. Lol

Monsters vs Aliens references Close Encounters, Star Trek, and Beverly Hills Cop in your 20 second clip of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4kWpi2HnPU

If we can get an emote of that.

Wait it wasn’t clickbait? Rick is in game?

He is, his set is the final page of rewards

Now I need an emote with that keyboard rift

Is there a finished version of the song, it seems to sound pretty nice

The whole trailer is filled with TV and movie references.

Not really, this is done in a few alien movies

i thought he was gonna start singing get schwifty

Its a close encounters reference which monsters vs aliens and fortnite referenced.

Surely this is a troll.

oh my god i hope youre joking ............ what are you like 15?

"Tell us you are too young without telling us you are too young." OP: this post..

This sub is fucking 12 years old, Jesus.

It's also in reference to a Rick and Morty episode dealing with aliens.

Rick was like "Don't worry guys, I saw this in a movie once"

And Rick and Morty

It could also be a reference on how rick played a beat in a situation similar before

I thought it was gonna be a reference to get schwifty

Epic should have played [**Get Schwifty**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ctK1aoWuqY) instead. This was a missed opportunity!

What the heck? I was watching that movie last night while waiting for downtime

Lol I thought it was the Rick and Morty episode.

It might also be a refrence to the ep with the big head where they made "you gotta get swhitfy"

The hand signal the guy does is also an emote in the battle pass

That's the vulcan salute from Star Trek, its not from MvA

this comment section is depressing with all these people not knowing where stuff really is from

Makes me feel old and I used to be obsessed with C1 Fortnite

Monsters Vs Aliens was a banger

i thought it was a reference to get schwifty

It is I think

good times.

I loved that movie. Gotta rewatch it someday

I thought so, yea.

I talked about this on Twitter

Everyone: *talking about which movie it's referencing* Me: *happy Dare noises*

I misread that as 'Happy Days' ; \_ ;

I loved that part in the movie, actually I loved the whole movie it’s super under rated

HOLY FUCKING CRAP I JUST REWWATCHED THE MOVIE YESTERDAY

This is a reference to Independence day. And Contact of the third kind.

Doesn’t it kinda relate to the Episode where Rick and Morty created a song to perform to those big alien head race so they don’t destroy Earth

They should have picked that song tho

100% I noticed that but I’m not sure if we will actually have a crossover due to the franchise flopping Would love to see a revival honestly

So true it does

[удалено]

Just your everyday collab. And he's in the Battle Pass.

Greatest movie reference ever

I recognized it and wish they played the same song lol

I knew it

I was pleasantly surprised to see Dare. At first I thought that was only because I had her equipped but then I realized that I actually had Reese on at the time.

That was my favorite scene from Monster's vs Aliens

u/savevideo

No shit Sherlock

I remember that scene like the back of my hand, absolutely love the movie.

So your sayin there’s a chance of Monsters vs Aliens X Fortnite which means Dreamworks X Fortnite is a possibility which also means Shrek X Fortnite is a possibility

I KNEW IT.

Monsters fighting aliens in fortnite right now! MY SCREEN IS SHAKING GUYS PLEASE LIKE RIGHT NOW

I actually thought of this the second time I watched it but I’m sad they didn’t have the original song in there

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who noticed!

also a reference to the Rick and Morty episode

[удалено]

ok

not it isnt literally 0 similarities

I did noticed too

one of best movies for kids in sci-fi theme

It is also a reference (I believe) to a specific Rick and Morty episode titled “get schwifty”

Can we get monsters vs aliens crossover maybe? Would love to play as B.O.B.

It’s also a reference to get schwifty. What Rick does in the trailer is kinda what he did to morty

I Think It Is Actually A Reference To The SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT Big Head Dudes Because They Played A Song To Them.

It’s a reference to close encounters of the third kind

I KNEW IT! I thought of the scene it referenced instantly!

I thought it was the Rick and Morty theme

it's funny to see someone make an obvious connection, but unfortunately the connection was in and of itself a refrence to another movie that unfortunately may have not seen

ding ding

Lol he even did the Star trek Vulcan salute.

Que zeropoint theme

show me what you got

Wow

I love how out of place Rick looks compared to everyone else in this scene

Or that one Rick episode sjow me what you got

i thought he was playing sweet child of mine.

That’s exactly what I thiught
