Matt Damon is 'Stuck on Uranus' in 'Ellen' spoof of 'The Martian'


How do you capitalize on a critically-acclaimed, box-office smashing movie? By making a parody trailer based on one (pretty funny) joke and throwing Kim Kardashian in there for laughs.

In a sketch that aired on The Ellen Degeneres Show Tuesday, Ellen teams up with Kim Kardashian to save Matt Damon from dying on a far-off planet ... again. But this time, it's Uranus.

Yes, it's funny, go ahead and laugh. And laugh the other 50 times they hammer in that joke in this minute and a half trailer. For some reason, we're all still 5 and this joke will never stop being funny. We definitely guffawed more than we should have when a totally straight-faced Damon said, "So, I'm left with only one option: I'm going to have to explore the surface of Uranus."
