On Tuesday’s episode of Ellen, DeGeneres unveiled a hilarious spoof of The Martian. It’s a fake trailer for the film’s fictitious sequel, Stuck on Uranus, which features herself, Kim Kardashian and the film’s star Matt Damon.
“Even if I could make contact, it would take eight years for another person to reach Uranus,” Damon says in the parody trailer. “So I’m left with only one option. I’m going to have to explore the surface of Uranus.”

When DeGeneres, who plays the head of NASA, demands an expert on Uranus she gets Kim Kardashian. “Did somebody say Uranus?” asks the reality-TV star, who is dressed in a lab coat for maximum smartness.
“No matter what happens,” Damon concludes, “tell the world, tell my family that I never stopped fighting to get off Uranus.”
Check it out in the video below.
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring “the Martian” home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney’s safe return.
The Martian is now playing at your local cinema.
