Marcus W

Officer Barbrady, because DEY TERK UR JERBS

Gerald Collins

Ghostbusters

Am Queue

I realize that I'm completely too late to be counted, but I would call Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Kavaliers!

Linda

Ghostbusters of course!

Hal Abbe

I would call the alien leader's parents and ask them to ground their kid for trying to take over another planet.

Jeff Lewis

If that fails, Pentacost (Idris Elba) can do a quick costume change, open the bifrost, and bring down Thor to handle it.

Jeff Lewis

WERE CANCELLING THE APOCALYPSE!!

Jeff Lewis

Stacker Pentacost... Call up the Jaegers!

Matthew Ackerman

Chuck Norris, because.... Chuck freaking Norris.

Noah Sager

It's a cookbook!

Timothy Risi

Jeff Goldblum

Peter

I'd call the aliens and ask for a menu to check how human is prepared.

Leigh Ann Kimes

I’m calling for take-out

Matthew Gasper

It's gotta be Dwayne Johnson.

Chris Nesseth

Will Smith. MIB and Independence Day tell me he's the guy to handle it. If all else fails we can have him screen After Earth. They might just walk out halfway through and fly home.

Stuart Detsky

I would call every attractive woman and I know and tell them “Now’s your last chance!”

CookieNinja

GHOSTBUSTERS!

Tenk

Jeff goldblum and will Smith.

James Sinnett

According to "Weird Al" Yankovic's song, "Slime Creatures From Outer Space", who you're gonna call is Slime Creatures. So let's go with that.

Ro Demonbreun

The Police..... who doesn't like Sting?

J. J. Cole

Alienbusters?

Sean Guilfoyle

Snake Plisskin. 'Coz I thought he was dead.

Alexander Prahl

Will Smith ofc. He showed many times that he is able to get rid of the bad aliens.

Richard Hudspeth

Chuck Yeager.

Jarad Bond

Domino's Pizza - Avoid the Noid!

Stephanie Longton

Chuck Norris

LJ Saxton

Nathan Fillion!

Steve Hicks

I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.

Joseph Lee

The cable guy

James

I'd call my father. After all, “Father Knows Best“.

Adam Thornton

I'm calling Jason Tagmire, because I want to know why the neckties on the front cover of his game are 1 inch shorter than they would have been in the '80s, and venting my frustration at dubious little details is WAY more important than stopping aliens.

Jason Sanchez

I'm calling the kids from Stranger Things.

Button Shy

That’s amazing! I was probably at the table right next to you running it.

Andrew Williams

The Terminator.

Lance Morgan

Bill Murray

Jann Norman

Hopefully, noone would call me (I will be hiding under the bed or in between the hay bales if I am at the stable). This looks like an interesting game. I would buy it. Is there anyway that you could take it to another publisher to have it printed again?

Nicholas Kager

Just call Saul!!!

Matthew Mitchell

Who's gonna stop the Aliens?!? No one. Their take-over is inevitable. So my phone call would be to my wife, or my mom if I'm with my wife. =)

Amy Moriarty

Ghostbusters! No, wait. Wrong movie. S.H.I.E.L.D, is course!

Dennis Michels

Provided I have the correct number I would either call Bruce Willis or Samuel L. Jackson. They are the only ones badass enough to stop the invasion!

Justin Sheehan

I'd call the linguistics department at the nearest college and see if they can diffuse what is most likely a cultural misunderstanding.

Andrew Boyd

If Aliens are invading, I'm calling Predators. They seem to take care of things most of the time.

Alex Davis

I'll call the publisher of the Universe to ask them to change the rule to "Aliens are NOT invading," which I think adds some clarity.

J. Brandon Massengill

I call sea world. My understanding that whales can communicate with the aliens.

Gray Detrick

Another already said it, but I concur - call the Aliens. It could be a giant misunderstanding. Though it’s likely the plans for demolishing the Earth for a bypass have been available for a long time now. Just grab your towel and Don’t Panic.

Fernando Costa

I'd phone home.

Bryan Hughes

I'd call AEG and ask them why they're burying games people would buy.

Zombie Wizard

I'd call Trump! And tell him it's time to realese SPACE FORCE!!

Pablo Espartero López

Looks fun. Want to play.

Ellen Harmer

Obviously I’m a vet so I just call round my other vet mates (everybody knows we can treat ANY species so we’ll work something out for aliens- we are good at killing and subduing things as well as healing them....🤪)

Ellen Harmer

The game looks intriguing- I’m in please! 😄👍

Brian Wood

I would call Jason Tagmire (or rather contact him through discord). I presume he might have some insight- having asked the question in the first place :)

Tom Shepherd

Call? No. Two perpendicular strips of masking tape on a window pane.. With a desk lamp meticulously placed to shine on it.

Ty Oden

The aliens. Diplomacy FTW.

Joey Johnson

Resisting the urge to say "Ghost Busters." Will Smith for some good old Independence Day action.

Mike Schröder

And to answer your question..... I'd call Bruce Campbell. He kills deadites, so aliens should be peanuts.

Heath Baxter

I would call them. Who says it's an invasion of malace? Invasion is a word used in fear and arrival doesn't always mean invasion, maybe I can make friends.

Robert Sandbach

I would have to call Daniel Radcliffe. Hopefully he can convince the aliens he's a wizard, or a demon, or something...?

Noah Sager

My bud, Cthulhu.

Mike Schröder

You've actually given away a Tiny Epic expansion very recently, if I remember correctly 😎

Jaq Greenspon

Jeff Goldblum - if you have to ask why, I don't think I could explain it to you. or Matt Damon - Just think of how much money the US Government has spent to save him (Saving Private Ryan, The Martian, Intersteller, etc) so we get him captured and the US would find a way to get him back, thereby stopping the invasion!

Doug Kuegler

I would call Donald Trump, he is the only person that would save the planet, the rest of the government would give the aliens free health care and we would be toast

Scott Myers

I like games! This sounds fFun. Thanks fFor the notes on small versus large groups. I would love to play it. =)

Rozzelyn Uryga

Holy cannoli! I actually ran this at BGN for people! Never realized you designed it when I learned about Button Shy, but can see your prints all over it now, looking back. I still have my copy, but I'd call Justin Roilland to make the aliens laugh with toilet humor.

Brent Gass

I'd call the casting director of Independence Day to round up as many of the cast as possible. That way, even if they fail, it will be entertaining! And probably better than Resurgence...

Gunnar Vraa

Every deity you can rattle off in 60 seconds, that limited amount of time requires divine intervention.

Iain Davidson

Shotgun. I call Shotgun.

Andy Elder

The obvious answer is S.H.I.E.L.D., right? One call can pull the Avengers in if needed? Also, I (finally!) started watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on Netflix. Why didn’t anyone tell me this was so good!? 😜

Venron

No one, it is probably time to start over.

Theresa D.

Ghostbusters of course! If they can handle the paranormal, they can tackle a few aliens as well!

Mr.Hales

I'd call a band so we could communicate with the invaders with the power of rock! Worked in Close Encounters...

Dee Wongsa

Dwayne Johnson because I'm clearly in an action movie and The Rock is probably the protagonist.

William Meadows

I'm dailing the secret government end of the world bunker phone number I have...

Michelle Skevington-Carter

The Men in Black. https://giphy.com/gifs/film-will-smith-men-in-black-11O3pVOGenvAdi

Daniel Leonard

With my magic phone I'd call The Doctor. She has a long track record of stopping alien invasions.

Mr Ben Synnock-White

I'm calling Boris Johnson, because when the world is about to fall apart he's definitely the man you want standing between you and the abyss, if only so you can give him a push.

Brenna and Mike Lee

If they traveled across deep space to get to us, we're not stopping anything. I'd call up some linguistics and communications folks to hope that humanity becomes pets instead of dinner.

A Sea Otter

Alienbusters, clearly.

Joel Huber

The Stranger Things kids seem pretty good at handling things from beyond. I’d try to get a hold of them on my ham radio.

Robin Gibson

Gandalf the gray, and Gandalf the white and Monty Python and the Holy Grail's black knight and Benito Mussolini, and the Blue Meanie and Cowboy Curtis, and Jambie the genie, Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader, Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston, and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan...

Ryan Stauber

Maybe I’m pandering, but Officer Ronald Taverner and his identical twin brother. At least the apocalypse will be entertaining then!

Odin Phong

Valkerie in Black

Peter Rabinowitz

Aw, I was gonna say Ghostbusters. OK then... if you’ve got no one left to call, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team!

Lora miller

Easy, I'm gonna call the ultimate alien ass kicker, Ellen Ripley!!!

Jack Akins

Ghostbusters of course!

Pearl Mahar

I'm seconding the Doctor here. No one better to bollocks up a good alien invasion.

Travis

I calling a virus writer. https://media.giphy.com/media/nGU75wEqj4WWY/giphy.gif

Brian Stallman

I would call the galactic police force... The Green Lantern Corps.

Byron Wild

The aliens, and tell them they can just take Donald Trump back for free, no fighting required.

Joshua Acosta

Chuck Norris, obvi.

Christopher Wood

Ima call Shakey's Pizza. If the black-pepper-thin-crust beef & cheddar doesn't convince the aliens that Earth is worth preserving, nothing will. ... With white onion.

Iain Laverty

There’s only one correct choice when aliens are invading earth, you call The Doctor.

David Molina

TEAM AMERICA! F-YEAH!

Ian Zunderdorp

Alienbusters obviously

Jacob Ogle

I would call Steve. We have an outstanding bet from 2001 whether aliens exist or not, and I would have finally won the bet. The aliens may be taking over, but I'll be $20 richer.

Daniel Rodriguez

Avengers Assemble!

James Hardison

Conference Call: a) Torchwood (If they cant solve the problem, then I’ll at least get to have sex with someone/thing before the world ends.) b) Mother (British Secret Service) - Need to get John Steed & cohorts in on this too. They add such style and aplomb. c) U.N.I.T. - What with Torchwood there too, The Doctor can’t be far behind. d) My Mother - She can fix any problem; put a plaster on the boo-boos, and serve the best lavender pound cake with a pot of tea. There you go. Britain is safe. The rest of you can sod off. Brexit solved.

Mark Woodford

Jeff goldblum. He knows how to handle an alien invasion

Benjamin Jelley

International Rescue. The Thunderbirds can handle this and they love a good countdown

Laura Murin

the guys from Independence Day - Capt. Steven Hiller and David Levinson. They stopped the aliens once already.

Oddvar Lovaas

Well, we all know the weakness of aliens from "Signs". I would therefore look up a good witch doctor who could quickly perform a rain dance, thus ending the alien invasion.

Brett Casto

Samuel L Jackson.

Chas Rust

Well first you'd need to find a D20 and roll a Wisdom test and if you pass that an IQ test to see if it'd actually be someone useful, or just yer mom.

Bradford Taylor

I'd call the M.I.B. They'll handle it pretty quick, but I've already said too much... ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)

Susan Janowski

Thor!

Joel Studer

Mulder and Scully obviously.

James Hardison

Conference Call:

Seth

I'm going to call the kids in the local school STEM program. They likely have already been working on something that could help with an Alien invasion, plus kids have some amazing imaginations and will probably come up with ideas that I wouldn't!

Lowell Kempf

The United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. What I call an alien invasion, they call Wednesday.

Matt Soucy

Definitely SG-1, they've defeated threats like this before

Michael Bacon

Arthur Dent. We'd try to enjoy ourselves a bit before it ended.

William Hanna

Sigourney Weaver, obviously.

Bug

I’d obviously call U.N.I.T. if they’re still operating. Torchwood Institute otherwise.

Kyle Woods

Probably He-Man...he is, after all, the most powerful man in the universe!

Laura

I’d call Dr. John Mather the Nobel prize winner working on JWST which may be able to detect water on other worlds. He can probably talk them down.

Jim Austerman

If I can find them...the A-Team

James M.

Hmm. Can I choose the probably obvious answer of calling 911? An alien invasion probably needs to be handled by the government and/or military, but I probably couldn't get a call in directly to them, hence going for the standard emergency line instead. Thanks for the offer!

Jen Allebach

I'm definitely calling President Thomas J. Whitmore, he'll handle this. 😱

Joachim Spörri

The Doctor!

Patrick Fuller

Goku. His power has no limits, and he always seems to same the day even if it takes 10 episodes of him powering up.

Todd Hersey

I would call the Dentrassis, who are surely the in flight caterers for the aliens about to destroy the world (likely for the purposes of an intergalactic bypass) and ask if I could hitch a lift.

Scott Fisher

"Help, I need some body not just anybody, help I need some body ..."

Lucas Gentry

Well, I suppose if this phone call can call anyone, it would take all of my 60 seconds to explain it to someone else, so I'll just call the aliens directly. Maybe it was all just a big misunderstanding.

Scott Hajek

Any friend that currently has a cold. They can sneeze in the general direction of the aliens and infect them.

Gabe Wigtil

Pizza delivery

Andrew

Captain Steven Hiller. If anyone can get a scientist close enough to the Mothership to upload a 90’s computer virus and save the world, it’s him.

Joe Aubrey

Since I have 60 seconds to stop the aliens with a phone call, I'm assuming I *can* stop the aliens with a phone call. Which is weird, because I don't normally have such super powers. I guess I'd call my Mom? She usually takes care of things. Those aliens won't know what hit 'em.
