• Agreed. And excellent point from Yoggie too re: colloquialisms.

• Like OMG overreact much??

• Dude, it's a frakkin' under -two minutes- summary; you don't ask an appetizer to be an entire four-course meal. It's something meant to be fun. I'm still amazed they managed to get in as many in-jokes as they did.

• HIGH-FIVE! Loved it.

• The strange juxtaposition of the Valley Girl + Lovecraft makes it for me. Deep, ominous male narrator? Been there, done that, bought several of the t-shirts. This was *fun*! Jeez, some people take everything so damn seriously.

• After six years, the bunnies are dead: http://www.angryalien.com/bunniesbyefornow.asp Also, they did movies, not books or short stories. "So, it's just retelling the plot" - Well, that's pretty much what "summary" means.

• Awesome FZ reference, ha ha!!! :D

• No kidding. I am a great fan of all thing Cthulu, especially the cute anime drawings, but this narration removes any sense of dread or mystery to the mythos. I will say the animation was good. :)

• So, it's just retelling the plot with a slightly naive twist to the narration and a few lame jokes thrown in to remind us this is not serious? I think those 30 Second Bunnies should gave this a stab instead.

• guys, "Valley girl" was dated as a stereotype in the 80s, come up with a new way to describe teengirlspeak.

• and Australia as "XXXX"

• RGB spells it Cathulu

• While I know this is an accurate (mostly) recap of the story, this really wasn't funny. It has nothing on 'How to Kill a Mockingbird.'

• Yeah, the video wouldn't have been half as funny without the valley girl accent.

• Second that Check out the volcano too, obits are a laugh, Middle Earth, BP, funny funny

• Yeah, I caught it, actually watched it twice to try to catch all the in-jokes.

• For all those who are bitching about the narrative, you need to lighten up. As someone else pointed out, it is keeping with cannon. Also, just because a piece of work uses colloquialisms doesn't mean it is stupid or bad. The piece was actually very insightful and had current information buried in the animation.

• Did you miss the part where they labeled New Zealand as Middle Earth? Did you also miss the big BP Mess in the Gulf of Mexico on the map?

• Aww come on duncan... it wasn't good at all.

• The narration was horrible. Don't do that again.... please...

• And a blank screen? Yeah, that would be MUCH funnier. Were you expecting dramatic tension "In Under Two Minutes"? Lovecraft himself favored using overly-excitable narrators with colorful vocabularies, so this is right in keeping with canon.

• Cthulhu girl She's a Cthulhu girl Cthulhu girl She's a Cthulhu girl Cthulhu!! Cthulhu!! Ai!! Ai!! She's a Cthulhu girl wgah'nagl fhtagn!! Cthulhu!! Cthulhu!! Ai!! Ai!! She's a... (Like, really) Cthulhu girl (He's like, totally sleeping) Cthulhu girl (gag me with a tentacle) Cthulhu girl (Oh my Old Ones!!) Cthulhu girl

• Awesome, gotta love that valley girl narration

• Agreed. This incongruous narrator thing feels ripped off from Drunk History.

• Whoa! Like, way gnarly, dude! OMG, Middle Earth was, like, in the ocean? How's the surfing?

• Great art, annoying like narration, like OMG and stuff

• Wow that's hilarious. I like the Clueless bit with the narration.

• And it was a great episode, too. One of the few I actually remember from my childhood rerun watching.

• It would be a lot funnier without the totally shitty narration.

• like omg this bitch should totally shut her fucking mouth!

• My local library doesn't have a single Lovecraft book. Not a single one! I asked the guy and he simply stared at me. 'Lovecraft' probably sounds like a sort of tweeny book series. But then he should really be a man of literary know-how, so it was pretty shocking that he'd never heard of HP Lovecrat.

• FUN FACT: "The Collect Call of Cthulhu" was actually the title of the episode of The Real Ghostbusters featuring You Know Who.
