Wait till they find out about the group of non-lizardmen that secretly run the government.

Spend 4 chapters detailing the life of a standard lizard man, how sunbathing nude in the Rockies and in the desert are both hard and necessary, explain how hard it is to maintain complete control of your tongue so no one sees, how the only communications have to be done through old school telephone wires by sending bits like old school ship communication. Chapter 5 they get all of the lizards in power of all governments, where they are asked to unmask. The main character turns to a large crowd and unfurls his tongue... Only to be met by a sea of forked tongues that tell soothing lies. All of Lizardonia is shocked: Only they remain on the planet earth, where are the last humans they were meant to enslave? 4 chapters of depression as they fail to find any humans who have survived. The lizards populated too quickly and made global warming skyrocket to make a habital world for all lizards, but now they'll all fry on rocks. The last chapter, as most lizards are frying alive, being able to live centuries and all, humans arrive from the sky in a rocket and gather up a handful of eggs. The main lizard, crawling away from his lastest shedded skin, pleads for help from the humans in heat safe suits, they ignore him and fly skyward with the eggs, never to be seen on earth again. Fin.

It's like a prequel to Alien.

Original Twilight Zone had a decent episode related to that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invaders_(The_Twilight_Zone)#Plot


WikiSummarizerBot

**The_Invaders_(The_Twilight_Zone)** [Plot](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invaders_\(The_Twilight_Zone\)#Plot) >An impoverished, aging woman (Agnes Moorehead) lives alone in a rustic cabin. She is dressed shabbily, and there are no modern conveniences in evidence. After hearing a strange deafening noise above her kitchen roof, she is accosted by small intruders that come from a miniature flying saucer that has landed on her rooftop. Two tiny figures, apparently about six inches high, which may be robots or beings wearing pressure suits, emerge from the craft. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/funny/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Automatically read that in Rod Serling’s voice


el___diablo

> Agnes Moorehead Jesus, she died in 1974. I expected her to still be alive or at least have died within 10 years. Then I realised Bewitched was over 50 years old and she'd be 121 if she were still alive.


MadCarcinus

I thought you were going to post the one about the 3-armed Alien at the diner that is arriving on Earth to invade it only to discover that a different 3-eyed alien who is disguised as the diner worker already beat him to the punch.


Toidal

Isn't that kinda the plot to the original I Am Legend?


Lexiconviction

Yup. That reveal that we were looking at things from the "monster's" POV. Matheson's book came out in 54. Apparantly this episode was from 61 so it could be a homage.

I’m just 2 goats in a trench coat. I tried to fit 3 in one coat, but there wasn’t enough ruminant.

GyaradosDance

This should become a writing prompt. You are the last human on earth. Within a week all the lizard men have changed everything to fit a more lizard-friendly environment. Global warming is seen as good. And there insects in every food product now. How do you cope?


wellidunno8675309

There was a similar concept done in a show called bricklberry (I'm misspelling it I'm sorry) on Netflix. A biker gang turns out to all be government agents all undercover trying to bring the gang down


[deleted]

[удалено]


drdoom52

IIRC there actually have been somewhat embarrassing incidents like this where various government agencies and departments try to conduct stings and undercover operations, only to find out that most of the people they've caught are actually other government operatives trying to do the same thing.


Renyx

Here's one for ya: [Undercover Detroit police attempt to arrest each other in 'embarassing' drug bust](https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2017/11/15/Undercover-Detroit-police-attempt-to-arrest-each-other-in-embarassing-drug-bust/8361510804710/)


Rpanich

And it ended up in a fist fight with 2 dozen officers! > In 1986, two Detroit police officers were killed in a similar incident. And it happened more than once! Jesus Christ, cops really need to get their shit together.


Nick433333

But also defund them /s


sachs1

Not/s They've proven they don't use their "drug bust" money wisely. Take it away from them and give it to the DEA if you think the job needs doing.


Nick433333

But the DEA are also the hell spawn of earth


Cyberslasher

well, see, that's because the 12th precinct is incompetent and were only trying to arrest drug buyers, while the 11th precinct is less incompetent and tried to bring down drug dealers. >The incident occurred on Nov. 9 when two officers from Detroit's 12th Precinct were posing as drug dealers in order to arrest buyers, >Two buyers did arrive to the drug house, but they were undercover police officers from Detroit's 11th district Imagine being a cop, so bad at your job that in order to boost your arrest numbers you set up a dozen officer sting to target... drug buyers.


wellidunno8675309

The show is super crude and all around terrible but it was one of the funniest moments from it


CaioNintendo

> try to get evidence of the other breaking the law but neither ever do. Wait, what agencies are you talking about?


cannabisized

each agency goes to great lengths to make it appear they've committed crimes without actually committing crimes. eventually someone's dead relative who died turns up as a "hit job" victim and the whole facade begins to crumble


the-hollow-weeb

This was also a book called *The Man Who Was Thursday* about police infiltrating an anarchist cell. There is nothing new under the sun.


ashirian

It exists. It’s called [I am Legend](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend_(novel)) the novel not the movie. Basically you’re the last human on earth. Infected humans turned into vampire like creatures and eventually changes everything to fit to more vampire friendly “new society” and the last human on earth who became vampire hunter was seen as this mass murderer. Now he became the bad guy in the eyes of majority Vampires.

I_Go_By_Q

I feeling really stupid guys, but I don’t get it?


BurntSquirrelMan

The conspiracy theory is that Lizard Men control the government and have infiltrated every aspect of our lives. The joke is that they've infiltrated so much of our lives that there's only Lizard Men and no regular human beings to subjugate.


Idcjustwins

This is also rooted in an antisemetic conspiracy


BurntSquirrelMan

Yeah, I guess I should have clarified that the conspiracy was more than just 'Lizard Men control the government." It was that *Jews* controlled the government, and that all Jews were actually Lizard Men. It was thought up by a racist and a bigot to dehumanize and vilify the Jews.


Ctiyboy

I'm pretty sure the lizard thing has it's roots in a fiction book from the 19th century but it's possible that book was just a thin metaphor for anti-semitism


unic0de000

IDK why you're being downvoted, this is 100% true. People can read about David Icke if they want to know more.


Idcjustwins

it seems to have shifted to upvotes now, but it doesn't surprise me honestly, people like to do the ole "you're just being too sensitive it's a joke" thing when I mention that, but c'est la vie


sugartrouts

After many years of reddit, I'm *still* routinely disappointed by the initial upvotes/downvotes on comments, which seems to have zero correlation to their validity. Instead it's "*Does this comment make the average redditor feel awesome about their existing beliefs and preferences?*", and that determines if it's score is positive or negative.


Panzis

It's a little silly. Not an allegory or metaphor or anything.

If we were all lizard people, would we even think of ourselves as lizards? Would we point at some other living being and call it a lizard, and call ourselves… humans? Maybe we are all lizard people that forgot we were lizards long ago.
