From mimicking a train horn to Shaun’s goofy laugh, Lu-La matches the original sound’s exact tonal expression, which is similar to the scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind when the aliens try to communicate with the scientists by teaching them their basic tonal vocabulary with lights and sounds coming from the mothership.

The scene is made all the more clever once you realize how relevant The X-Files television series must be for Agent Red when compared to her own life story.

While the hidden joke may have been missed by many of the younger viewers, Shaun the Sheep 2 features a hilarious Easter egg from Fox’s science fiction television series The X-Files, which contains one of the most memorable theme songs composed by Mark Snow. Within Farmageddon, that theme song can briefly be heard being whistled by the one character most likely to know it, the Ministry for Alien Detection’s Agent Red.Īfter Agent Red has acquired Lu-La’s spaceship, she transports it, along with the mysterious egg-shaped device that activates the ship, to the Ministry’s secret base.
