On December 29, gamer and comedian Dylan Armenteros headed to TikTok with a glimpse at his elaborate gag, showing his mother’s reaction to a doctored emergency alert alleging that extraterrestrials had finally touched down in the good ‘old USA. Check out the video:

“The US Government has issued a national emergency for the continental United States,” the video message began a statement that already evoked visible concern from Armenteros’ mother.
Yet before the faux clip’s narrator could finish his sentence, warning of “multiple sightings of more than a dozen unidentified objects,” the streamer’s mom had already made like Jordan Peele, nope-ing the heck out.
“F—k!” she screamed, leaping from the couch. After her initial shock, Armenteros sprung to action, calling her brother to tell him about the alien invaders.
“F—king UFOs!” she yelled into the phone, demanding the influencer’s uncle “Put CNN on!”
Yet after several moments of panicking over our new ET overlords, Armenteros finally spared his freaked-out mother, revealing the entire thing was just a hoax.
“You got me, motherf—ker!” she responded. “I thought this was for real!”
We want to believe …that there is an upside to this prank — specifically that Armenteros’ mom will be the most prepared person in the actual event of an alien invasion.
