[Daemon1997]

It's quite saddening that this person gets so many dislikes on account of another similarly named user pronouncing things like garbage and people mixing them up.

[StarcrossedPacific]

@Daemon1997 most of his pronunciations seem to be wrong.

[PieMoe]

I love this person's enthusigasm. Wait, what'd I just say?

[XanthusPictures]

Innsmouth accent: Kchtoo-lahoo

Old One accent: AAAAIIUUUJHIYIUGIGIUYTFTYF!!!!­

[LooneyGaming]

[boletusatanicus]

This sensible gentleman is protecting all our sanities by his incorrect pronunciation.

Good call.

[Dimrain48]

No one can pronounce Cthulhu, it is said that if you do, Cthulhu will awaken.

[noobnubcakes]

Its pronounced Khlûl'hloo while grunting or barking.

[skgoavideos]

@noobnubcakes this.

[webusecom]

Oh no, please I was just about to go to bed now I'll have to watch about twenty of these again

[MegaIhateit]

No, really???

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

It's pronounced Bob, dumbasses.

[WarlordOfDeath59]

Humans aren't able to pronounce Cthulhu because of their vocal constraints. Lovecraft said that. So I suppose this would be the correct American English pronunciation.

[larodem]

Actually, most humans pronounce it as "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! OH GOD,TERRIBLE VISTAS IN MY MIND, PLEASE KILL ME!"

But this works as well.

[DrPachyderm]

hey hey you can't pro you can't you just can't like it's just not its not possible you can't like like pronounce his name in like with just just like one pronunciation man

[EpicClapton]

cAthulhu? O.o

[itsjustthecause]

the writer of the book that first featured cthulu made the name to be unpronounceable...

[RagnarokQ3]

oh, i thougts it should sound like hkjhbfstihkbgdjgjfh

[mrorreo]

A direct quote from Lovecraft:

"The actual sound - as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it - may be taken as something like Khlul'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly."

"The best approximation one can make is to grunt, bark, or cough the imperfectly formed syllables Cluh-Luh with the tip of the tongue firmly affixed to the roof of the mouth. That is, if one is a human being. Directions for other entities are naturally different."

[BlackIce131]

@mrorreo trying that results in spit flying over the monitor

[videowalrus]

@mrorreo Very true -- but that just shows how full of himself Lovecraft was.

[ZPM7]

@mrorreo Lovecraft was never very consistent on the pronunciation himself. He wavered quite a bit. I'd say there's pretty much no "right" way to pronounce it.

[LexL94]

@mrorreo I hate it when people pronounce it ktulu. As a HP Lovecraft reader that really gets on my nerves.

[sinprelic]

@mrorreo give us a damn phonetic transcription. this poetic bark bullshit aint true

[TheRamenMaster]

All aboard the submarine to R'lyeh!

[Vexxingz]

The word originated from a mind who actually meant for it to be unpronounceable in the human tongue.

[iPronounce]

Well, my video's are spot on pronunciation. But that is just my opinion, you'd have to check them out.

[Zzzapper]

H.P. Lovecraft himself has actually stated that you can't pronounce the word, because it is of alien origin. When asked about the pronountiation, he has given several different answers.

[littlebigkid2000]

Well that simplifies things. I was always pronouncing it Sith-ih-lu

[muddmutt]

Ka-tu-loo ? Thats how I've always heard it....english sucks sometimes



[DrKlown]

anyone else called it Choot-loo before?

[KittyandPuppy77]

its actually gala-too-stay

[Ax008Al]

I always thought you must get absolutely terrified to pronounce it at its well...Or absolutely drunken...

[GregorioXII]

According to Lovecraft himself, the closest human vocal cords can get to the correct pronunciation is "Kluul-hluu".

[jkun17]

ia ia Cthulhu fhtagn!

[MyNameIsMaddynStuff]

What am I doing...

[TheFamousDragon]

[ChaosDraguss]

I believe the name is supposed to be unpronounceable.

[ff8maniac]

[GiygasLittleHelper]

PronunctuationManual for the videos, pronunctuationbook for the comments.

[LeroyTheHedgehog]

Katuluh

[SrtaCarolineTP]

I guess the maya people also read Catulo...

[PacMan0Ghost]

WRONG, the closest the human tongue can pronounce his name is "Ka-t-hu-lhu" ka tehu lu <-- just to show you to emphasize the t and the h

[lordzahgurim]

I'm pretty sure its pronounced 'Kuh to loo'...atleast in out single tongued english language.

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

[emopufferfish]

I say it as "K'hulu".

[mrBorkD]

I think it's better pronounced as "Chuck Norris"

[RaineSageRocks]

I don't really think there is a current 'proper' way to pronounce the word.

[progftw]

That feel when I realize I've been trolled

[Thallod]

its pronounced like a murlock saying it. cuh thughluhlhulhlyluluululu

[BackInTheCage]

FUCK YOU

YOUR VOICE PISSES ME OFF

[DeathStalk15]

CH-Thu-LU BETCH

[Mada2595]

[fireking38]

I pronounce it like "chutullu"

[TheTapeClub]

Kt-tu-loo?

Kt-tu-loo!



[TheUltimateGwonam]

Stop helping me learn to pronounce words

[Nentedo63]

Nope, the 'C' is silent.

[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlII]

Cala-Doo-Stee

[artao5]

It is of course un-pronouncable by human tongue .. I distinctly remember reading in one of Lovecraft's letters that it is actually ONE syllable .. but there are a variety of aproximations

[SuperRainbowDash64]

HPL's friends said that he used to pronounce it "Clooloo"

[mattuiop]

CALATUESDAY

[Jannesdepoes01]

this person has no life.....

[Washu1973]

[snessespe]

coon and friends!

[martrex2]

I always thought Cthulhu was the kind of things you can pronounce in many many ways, since humans are oblivious to it's real pronunciation it doesn't really matter. I guess.

[guidofix]

level up

[MatsEP]

That awkward moment when you accidentally click on a pronunciationbook video...

[micktheman100]

Why peoples call terraria lovecraft :/

[GT3x24x7]

Incorrect.

[DarkOrMisunderstood]

Howwie Lovecraft :DD

[MykeMetyll]

It's kut-hoo-loo. At least, that's the closest humans can get to pronouncing it right.

[adro1d]

catulu... yeah sure... get an alien throat before pronnounce "Cthulhu"

[TheInformativeGamer]

You even managed to get it wrong

[namahsatad]

Now say it 3 times to a mirror in the dead of night. I dare you.

[PersianTowTruckMan]

Actually it's pronounced Too-loo, according to Metallica.

[TheOceanarium]

Why is the C in arial when the rest of the word is in helvetica?

[BKGHatake]

Only Marik can pronounce his name correctly

Cthulhu! It's Cthulhu!

[DocterSorcerer]

Wrong. "Ka-thu-loo" is an approximation. It's technically pronounced C͎̮͎̺̠͎͔̤̣͆ͬ̉̓ͯ̇͌̈́̍̉̽ͦ͊͌̅͆͠ͅt­͗̓ͤ̑̀̓̍͐̄̚̚҉̸͚̹̙̩̜̱̟ḩ̵̽̑ͭ͌̚͢͞­͉̞̟̭̭̦̠͙̲͉ͅu͆͂̏ͤ̔̏ͦ͏̴̷̧̞͇̬̯̘̘̠­̤̝l̸̸͇̪͍̥̮̫̔̓ͯ̃̎̽̽͒̔ͫ͆́̋ͥ͐̅́̚̕­̰̹͙̣͉̱̝̻̜̖̤h͓̘̮̖̟̥̗̗͐ͨ̃ͧ̀͌ͭ̕̕͡­̭͓͙͚uͩ̽̍͆̏̒ͤͮͨ͊̂ͪ̔ͦͨ̍̚҉͏͠͏͈̣̩ͅ­̼͔͕͙̦͇ͅ..

[mrBorkD]

@TheMilkywayboy search "zalgo generator" on google.

PROBLEM SOLVED

[MadhouseBox]

@DocterSorcerer u just spelt cthulhu and put those symbols around it

[soubgio]

@DocterSorcerer i imagine something deeper without kath in the beginning.something like kth-ul-hu...pronounced like bubbles...

[Skullshadow99]

Now pronounce : "Candle jac-aaaaaaaah"

[nuttynutbeams]

Deadmau5 - Cthulhu sleeps

[thunderkid4]

@nuttynutbeams fucking yes!

[MasterChief11764]

Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!

[cosmostupid123]

@MasterChief11764 He's coming from R'lyeh to get this pronunciation faggot

[namahsatad]

@cosmostupid123 Oh, rlyeh?

[Wikipunani]

kuh-THOOOL-HOOO! pronounced explosively and with as much of the tongue at the back of the throat as possible.

[218duncan]

its pronounced shtooloo not in english

[PinkYachi]

Fah-at. Fat.

[tyrongkojy]

I read that you were suppsoed to pronounce the "H", and do it from deep in your throat, almost like a choke... the best one can do without 12 tongues.

[BIGMACBURGER]

no fucking shit

[DangerMau5s]

thumbs up

[Naddig74]

You crazy fools! Don't you know it's dangerous to even spell it correctly?!

[Kilshot666]

Sorry, you cannot speak Cthulhu's name. You do not have 12 tongues.

[wahinesurfergirl]

@Kilshot666 That would be freaky if someone would actually have 12 tongues.

[anothersquid]

@wahinesurfergirl The girls would line up for him/her.

[liebemintz]

@Kilshot666 thank you.

[Carbon762]

@Kilshot666 *sixteen

[Kilshot666]

@Carbon762 My point still stands.

[lethalcurrent]

You guys are all so lame. Lovecraft never "officially" pronounced it so all your arguments are moot. I'm just laughing at all of you that think you pronounce it correctly when there is no true pronunciation. Way to just make yourselves look stupid. None of you are true cultists and Cthulhu will destroy you all.

[METALMULlSHA]

@lethalcurrent

True cultist or not, Cthulhu will consume you

[lethalcurrent]

@METALMULlSHA You speak truth. I will look forward to being consumed by an Old One.

[egolwerper]

thumbs up if you got to this video by accident and wanted pronunciationmanual

[Nonalined]

that's how I have pronounced it :D

[AgentVamp]

I KNEW IT WAS Ca-Thoo-Loo! SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO JARROD EAGLE!
