This is a blast from the past for Canucks, who probably grew up watching those ridiculous Hinterland’s Who’s Who interludes from the NFB. We may not be good at asserting ourselves, but buy god we know our black footed marmot from our white footed one! Stole this from the House of Hunt.
UPDATE: bitch has gone and disabled embedding. Bloody princess; 300,000 hits in ONE DAY and now he decides he doesn’t want to be famous.
UPDATED UPDATE: he says:
Your wish is my command, raincoaster.
Spiders for all!!!
and has re-enabled embedding, yay! Now he’s less than a thousand hits away from 700,000, at two and a quarter million views, which is undoubtably the highest-ranking Canadian nature video ever to hit the internets.
It’s the “100 centimeters” that slays me. TOO Canadian!

Wonder if the spiders thought the room was full of huge hairy people?
That was totally fucking brilliant! I may lose my You Tube virgininty and post it on my blog (crediting the source, of course!).
Oh Christ, I hated those Hinterland Who’s Who clips–that depressing flute music and grainy video! They always left me feelng vaguely guilty for some reason.
YES!
This was absolutely brilliant!
I loved the Hinterland Who’s Who vignettes and the flute music.
But then I’m a contrary kind of gal.
Still *lol*
Absolutely hilarious! The Hinterland Who’s Who productions used to make my eyes glaze over, but despite my somnolence I did learn a few things from them. This clip would have jolted me to attention. Thanks for sharing this!
defrost, I feel that. But I’m a whore, so I pimped it out. I have no shame.
Oh great. He gets 300,000 hits in ONE DAY and disables embeds. It’s a bit early to be pulling diva routines, I would say.
Update from the video creator:
Fellow YouTubers:
This is crazy. Half a million hits! Here are some answers to your zillions of questions:
1. I shot the film with an old super8 camera. That’s why it looks so retro.
2. The crack spider’s bitch later had hundreds of babies under my back porch.
3. Sadly, many people saw the low fidelity version posted by digidave. I asked him to take it down but he blocked me from his site (wanker). But hey, it’s YouTube, there are no laws here.
Now he’s up to three million hits, btw.
