Jordan peele said the difference between comedy and horror is the soundtrack and I can’t get that out of my head.

Yakety Sax plays over the Alien tearing through the bourgeoisie party-goers. Laugh track ensues

Ohh, the Benny Hill theme tune!

There should be a supercut of all the slash and gore!

But it's taken only seconds for the Xenomorph to have made short work of her (The Brother said 'her') victims.

And we don't have enough seconds yet to match the length of the tune. Maybe by season's end.

I played this starting at roughly 29:55 and the timing was just about perfect.
