Cutethulhu

[wolftsaufi]

@MrDeathangel91 And the rapist would be Nyarlanthotep.

Cthullu aren't that caring enough for human, while Nya loves to fuck around humans cause it can.

[RavenRyy]

Pure and utter genius big man! Thank you for this!

[jimexmore]

NEED PORN OF IT!!!

[Orthagoni]

When Cthulu rises, you will be eaten first! :)

[Itachi21x]

little did they know that they were slowly getting crazy by the sheer presence of an effigy of cthulhu

they spent the following years in the Arkham Asylum hallucinating about lost cities and strange creatures

[Nagneto]

@Itachi21x : I think they were pretty insane to begin with.

[Arithmancer1]

1:04 Tea party of sanity blasting cuteness

[revseth]

I don't think I've ever said this about any other author or historical figure in general, but I wish I could summon Lovecraft from the dead briefly, and show him the influence he's had on people.

[medexamtoolsdotcom]

If you made another one with the same sickeningly sweet (well, she was laughing at the grapes of wrath so internally twisted) anime style girls, I might recommend having them play house, and have not just the cthulhu doll as a character in their fantasy but a little hitler as their fantasy next door neighbor who joins them for a spot of tea along with shiva the destroyer, vlad the impaler, etc., but all with personalities assigned by the girls that don't fit the original characters.

[MissIshiokaShibuya]

I love this, please make a sequel. < 3

[NueArtPictures]

At the risk of being haunted by the spirit of Lovecraft...this IS cute LOL. Great concept with great execution resulting in a great short film. The voice performers were perfect, as well.

[ShawnTheTouched]

@NueArtPictures

Many thanks for the glowing review!

[arlecchinasaurus]

I'm terrified.

[antitece]

Poor Lovecraft! hahaha I liked it! Congratz! =] 

[AwesomeOxtheExploder]

This is like that fucking Gir fad.

That show gave me nightmares!

How could they find Gir so cute?!

The one with the pig man?!

I mean come on!

[LadyLuria]

Erm, I'm feeling extremely out of the loop of here, but I have to ask: what exactly (I mean title-wise) is the character Cthulhu from?

And, I've heard his name pronounced Kuh-thULU and S-thULU. Is either fine?

[ShawnTheTouched]

@LadyLuria

The creature is originally from the short story The Call of Cthulhu, by HP Lovecraft. The way Lovecraft described the pronunciation of the name is rather difficult, since it's not supposed to be a human sound, so we have a bit of leeway in pronouncing it, but it's a hard C, not a soft one. The title of my animation here, on the other hand, is meant to be the English word "cute" followed by "THOO-lhu".

[MrDeathead]

@ShawnTheTouched H.P. Lovecraft said that the closest a human can get to pronouncing it the correct way is "Ka-Thul-Hoo."

[Focusphobia]

Dear LadyLuria,

Kuh-thULU is the proper pronunciation.

[godzilla014]

That is the scariest F&#*ing thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

[Jionunez7]

Lovecraft is turning over in his grave

[Solachinx]

I like how this is kind of like a horror story for Lovecraft himself: to take one of his shit-your-pants scary creations and turn it into the next Hot Topic fad. Were this one of his stories, he'd probably be suffering the same endless insanity his protagonists do.

[ShoggothLord]

At last, absolute proof there is no God; but at what price? AT WHAT PRICE!?!

[Kaaxe]

I like the animation

[adventururer]

I fapped to this

[WDFisH0n0r]

ummm why was the recomended 4 me?

[samcwic]

Just did a search for HPL's gravestone, and it looks exactly like the one in the video, so kudos to the animator for accuracy.

[violentD3]

i'm 12 years old and what is this?

[jobenal4ever]

@violentD3 that box dear boy called : pure madness

[MARSHOMEWORLD]

This video has NEVER been more relevant than right now...SO MUCH HPL bullshit on the market now. As a teen reading my first Mythos stories...I could have never envisioned how pop culture it was to become....so strange. This vid is pure genius , with a dose of precognition thrown in for good measure.

[MrDeathangel91]

now make a hentai version of this video.

[dragongirl1501]

i don't get it...

[Nagneto]

I hope someone in japan (other than a hentai company) decides to pick up lovecraft's works.

[sbaromski]

@Nagneto F*ck you for even mentioning such an awful idea!

[CynAnne1]

Ah...I still lurve this! x3

[GlasgowPhilosipher]

Very good punchline

[CobaltiSickle]

This are has so many anime

[Loof42]

Too. Much. Anime.

[TheShinyhappyperson]

1:27 the grave reads: "Someone other than HP Lovecraft" lol

[mushroomeater92]

i wanna bang sarah for some reason

[musicmanSinX]

ummm..... would anyone mind explain this video to me? i dont get it...

[MissElaneeus17]

I want to say this is adorable...but that would shame Cuthullu.

[FoolyCoolyMabase]

Lovecraft is rolling in his grave, and the plushie is thinking "fuuuuuuuuuuck me" all along the video

[rkyeun]

The tentacle rape never happens.

[goreombola]

I got one of those today. Gonna have a smashing tea party now!

[venom7526]

I wanna favorite it 2 show 1 of my friends who has a copy of the necronomicon(and admittingly, partly cuz its hilarious) but im gonna go ahead and preserve my fuckin masculinity lol

[RRRX18]

Lovercraft: DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT...

[Zanboro2]

omg.... I think I lost some brain cells watching this.....

[k0sashi]

Also, 1:28 - "Someone other than H.P. Lovecraft" = win

[k0sashi]

HQ version in SWF: newgrounds com portal view 81337 (put dots and slashes in obvious places).

[TwojaStaraIFrytki]

poor lovecraft, he's pradobly spinning in his grave;D

[theBaglady74]

Well kids, lesson learned; Never save flash animation frames as .JPG files, otherwise every frame will have been botched up in an attempt for the file type to auto blend all of the color transitions..

Use .PNGs

[ShawnTheTouched]

@theBaglady74

What you're seeing is not the result of any saving frames as JPEGs. The poor quality of this video is due entirely to the crappy compression that was the standard Youtube "quality" back in 2007 when I uploaded this.

[theBaglady74]

@ShawnTheTouched Oh yeah...

The glory days of youtube, I remember, that's why I never uploaded anything back then...

[demonjacobs666]

@ShawnTheTouched Then upload it again in 720p or something.

[urmomjkjk]

HAHAHAH Lovecraft's banging his head on the coffin!

[insertswear]

@SpikeHarlem81

Shut the fuck up. Posting about the number of dislikes on a video is neither witty or interesting you worthless attention seeker.

[StateQuoable]

Not sure if trolling.

1:35 I thought for sure some song was going to start playing while synchronizing to the beat of the skeleton.

[Jh112196]

@StateQuoable Exactly! haha :P

[insertswear]

At first I was like "What is this shit?"

Then I laughed my ass off.

[cybertron1000s]

0:22 RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUN!!!

[Big12189]

choking, choking, choking, dead.

[DaGrox94]

Somewhere in the realm of the undead, H.P. Lovecraft is not impressed.

I, on the other hand, am.

[Ceressiass]

oh lol! I have also that plush cthulhu!!! (He is zazzy...)

TT_TT Oh crap... I am so sorry for Mr. Lovecraft! I just realized that I am just like them :P

*goes to take off the necklace from that toy*

[nocturned85]

Cthulhu will not like this... but he'll keep the hat

[SeijinDinger]

I remember seeing this at Sakura-Con 2004

[StephLippitt]

Great animation. That really does look like swan point.

[KruskBloodBane]

wait a minute didn't you do some of the animated things on Drowtales?

[TechUnadept]

Cute? In my sanity-raping horror? HERESY!!!! >:(

[drdttdtrestds]

WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!? OH GOD WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?

[ShadowLivesonForever]

*copies Lovecraft's skeleton*

[sargonmoroku]

*Points at Tea-Party Cthulhu* PWNED!

[chriszilla82]

I don't get it.

[MrEric3000]

@chriszilla82 Lovecraft is pissed thats all you need to know

[Tezcatlipoca2000]

Danger!!!!

Tentacle rape in the night

[JessicaIngmann]

This is so incredibly wrong. But so funny! And yet...I kinda want one'a those plush dolls. XD

[jeang287]

Great Cute-thulu! Great Cute-thulu! Yes, it has a ring to it...sort of....(Actually, a very fun vid. Bravo, Shawn!)

[Wolfrunner326]

Oh God...The hat... lol



[Chocopyro]

Okay, the ending more than makes up for the pain I felt inside when they had a tea party with Cthulhu. XD

[pondrthis]

"...at that weird little toy store..."

I don't know why but I found that first line really funny.

[921darksider]

I accidently stumbled upon this, and now I can't unsee it. Cthulhu will turn their brains to shit and devour their hollow vessels!

[andoc]

@921darksider Shame on you for assuming those airhead girls had brains... XD

[921darksider]

@andoc You're right. I don't know what came over me.

[Noahandtheark7]

HP Lovecraft: ...That is truly horrifying.

Chthulu: You can say that again... *adjusts hat*

[BradTheProducer]

Was the "please pass the milk please" line a TMBG reference?

[ShawnTheTouched]

@BradTheProducer

Yes, it is. I think I mention that in the DVD commentary.

Lots of new comments recently! Where are they all coming from?

[laughingfurry]

@ShawnTheTouched

The tags "animation" "plush" "stuffed" and maybe "sacrilege", along with using "cute" in the title, made this an easy find.

I was wondering why an actual horror, even an Old One, didn't come at them until the cemetary scene. Nice work.

[LiberAnarchy]

@ShawnTheTouched From Cthulhu cultists and their friends... and I'm serious. :)

[HavazikFerric]

@ShawnTheTouched I noticed that too, and I love you for it :,D

[ChasoGod]

Maybe he's not ugly, maybe he's so cute that people go mad looking at his cuteness. Just like how nymphs have the ability to blind people with their beauty.

[Big12189]

Wow. Shawn, you're an awesome artist. The girls and cthulhu are cute cute CUTE!

[Big12189]

H.P. Lovecraft must be rolling in his grave with all these parodies.

P.S. HE IS PROVIDENCE.

[12345combination]

@Big12189

I have a feeling that he's rolling more from Japan propagating the cartoon tentacle rape genre in the 80s. Remember kids every time you fuck an alien you make the ghost of H.P. Lovecraft cry.

[krutcheshobb]

Id love to be pedothulu in this...

[Masterofbunies]

..... my mind has been skull fucked and blown....

[gro07]

You two will be eaten last!

[DistantPrince]

Oh dear----poor Lovecraft....*sighs* More people need to know of who he is. By the way, where can one get a cutethulhu plushie? I'd love to have one :3

[GrievousCommander]

No tentacle rape?

[RasecVonWizzlbang]

The ending was my favorite part...

[suckapunch565]

Cthulhu is the new pedobear

Pedo-thulhu?

[117callum]

why the fuck is the skeleton fucking its coffin?

[Symos]

@117callum He's banging his head because they turned his fearsome monster into a cutipie

[draconusfrigidus]

The only thing more disturbing that this is knowing there's also variation plushies with little outfits available for purchase. Yes, they have not only made Cthulhu cute, they've also made him into the horror world's own Barbie doll!

[InvisibleGunslinger1]

who do you think made Cutethulhu?

Cthulhu obviously made this is cute toy, so when the time comes, everyone will think the harmless "cutethulhu" is coming.......although Cthulhu does think the hat is fetching! : D

[Rictorran]

where can i get a cthulhu Plushie?

[suckapunch565]

@Rictorran Google it, BEEYOTCH!

[Itachi21x]

i lost my sanity ....

[Petrionvitunkomea]

My mind is blown. Chtulhu having tea with two girls?

[cr1901]

Stating the obvious here, but: Even for those who don't read the H.P. Lovecraft novels, this video is still very amusing if one understands his connection to Cthulhu as his (?) creator...

[FuCkEDuPjACk]

I thiink the part with h p lovecraft is spot on. with all the cthulhu

stuff on youtube he's probably spinning in his grave

[jarakras]

HAHAHAHAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA poor Lovecraft XD

[Aurasword90]

....I see now why everyone who encounter Cthulhu are reduced to gibbering idiocy.



[Bluehawk2008]

Three things Lovecraft hates: women, consumerism and Japanese people.

[CyanideCornelo]

Anime, and Lovecraft. Two of my favorite things ever! :D

[TheSpiritsLease]

Lol, did anybody notice the little girl laughing at The Grapes of Wrath?! Anyway, I was thoroughly impressed at how cutesy this was made to look. (Although to tell you the truth, I was strongly expecting the doll to turn into Cthulhu and have tentacles attack them) XD

[CheckClosetForDucks]

Metallica has some pretty good songs based on Cthulu. Their song "The thing that should not be" Cliff Burton, their fist bass real bass player before he was killed, was way into H.P.Lovecraft.

[29708520]

I think HP lovecraft and L ron hubbard would have gotten along real well.

[Gorandius]

Those ignorant, half-wench, altar-fodder, putrescent, toddlers!

Cutethul- uh, I mean....CTHULHU, will raa- I mean, DEVOUR their souls. Yes, that was what I meant.

[Chardor]

i guess thats exactly how he had to feel.

[reviewman]

hastur gets no love! :(

[GodMaker925]

@reviewman Aghh! You've said it! You have said the name! The Un-nameable God will punish you for your crimes!

[thev01]

Pity Lovecraft.

Can't even roll over his own grave.

[sewagedweller]

octopussy abuse

[allergictoidiocy]

*buahahahaha*

Where can I buy a plush Cthulhu? Having that on my sofa would be so delightfully geeky - albeit somewhat blasphemous. xD

[SabbyGuy09]

Not as bad as the look my sister gave me when I entertained my nieces with my Cthulhu puppet.

[shinobi300]

this is soo coooll how did u animate this..

[Isredel11]

Did they just _snuggle_ with a cthulhu?

[Itachi21x]

Im sorry H.P , they dont know what they are doing

[camilocuesta]

that sounds... chirstian

[VladimirVLD]

Lovecraft thinks he failed XD

...but he didn't

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

Did they just have tea with cthulhu? XD

[ShawnTheTouched]

I have indeed wondered if TV Tropes got that trope name from this or not. :)

[Wtfxxl13]

a dream that only the insane would have lol

[Teknoman891]

@ThePhantomSafetyPin i wondered when real cthulu comes and TEABAGGED THEM.

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@Teknoman891 More like Tenticle-bagged, really.

Actually, I think that might be more disturbing and horrifically mind-shattering...

[Sigolfur]

This is simply horrible..

[Sylocat]

This image is burned into my brain right now.

[SegnoKeyz]

1:39 the only reason that made me stopped to rage.

[lycanfan]

Why?

[SegnoKeyz]

because i was doing the same thing (smashing my head on the table, as lovecraft does on the coffin wood) on my desk. i felt HPL so close to me, so i stopped..

[lycanfan]

Oh.

[Wtfxxl13]

a disturbing and wrong video, but as the owner of a cthulhu plush toy which is starring at me right now, I have to agree on one point: anything so grand, evil and unfathomable is pretty damn cute miniaturized...

[Paradoxical003]

Wtfxxl13 there is no evil.

false dichotomy

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

Anything's pretty damn cute miniaturized.

[octagonoid]

@ThePhantomSafetyPin From the illustrations I've seen, I guess that things like Yog-Sothoth wouldn't nearly work as good.

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@octagonoid You make a good point. I revise my previous statement - *almost* anything's pretty damn cute miniaturized.

Also, Cute + Lovecraftian Abominantions = the webcomic known as The Unspeakable Vault (Of Doom). It is nothing like this video.

[shouldistillneedone]

In the end, the creator of that Mythos is "rolling in his grave."

[reviewman]

he's not "rolling" he's banging his head in the coffin

[rogue3xmen13]

That is so funny.

[peekitty]

I have a green one and an orange Halloween

one, in the 'Chibithulhu' style. Adorable. :)

[Azadeth666]

LOL Awesome.

I actually have a plush Cthulhu though.

Okay, I have 4 of them.

DON'T YOU JUDGE ME! IA! IA!

[ShawnTheTouched]

I have one too. :)

[anduril9969]

@Azadeth666 "DON'T YOU (FRICKING) JUDGE ME!" are the words my friend Dan says when I walk in on him and his anime collection naked. He usually has a large stuffed walrus too, so not judging him is incredibly difficult.

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@Azadeth666 I want one.

You have a plush Cthulhu army. Awesome.

[Cyaegha47]

@Azadeth666 They Say the more Plushie Cthulhus you have the more the Great Cthulhu wil like you. I gots 7 of them. IA! IA! Cthulhu Fatong!

[jmasterchain]

Incredible! Oh I made an image of a Guardian of darkness, he is called Master Tenebrae.

You accept it?

[shedininja001]

its so cute

[OnlyToComment]

"Sacrilege" is a most fitting tag for this video.

[jmasterchain]

You who made this drawing?

[ShawnTheTouched]

Yes, I'm the artist.

[vanhell0]

Wow, you're good. I like the anime drawings and the cute chthulu.XD

[RurouniJackson]

well i saw this and thought u may be part of that cult sorry 4 the missunderstanding

[RurouniJackson]

no the Chthulu one he made that one

[ShawnTheTouched]

You're asking me if I'm in a cult devoted to a fictional character? The answer is no.

[RurouniJackson]

just asking but are u one of the members of that cult ?

[ShawnTheTouched]

What, has someone made up an H.P. Lovecraft cult now?

[Ragecleaver]

YOU DO NOT SNUGGLE CTHULHU

RAAAARGH

[ikcinbaz]

he wasn't racist it was a normal view of people at that time. It was not him but society.

[Skuu]

the normal view was racist, he was a racist. But as people have said, this doesn't take away from his amazing works.

[ikcinbaz]

I was actually defending him and his works are timeless, now if we can get some more films out there that actually try to adhere to what he wrote...

[XinBiDe]

Actually, many scholars have pointed out that Lovecraft himself was exceptionally racist, even for the times. This doesn't mean he wasn't an amazing writer!

[vileone13]

Lovecraft: "NOOOOOOOO! THE HORROORRRR! WHY?! WHY!? SANITY LOSS.......ggaaaagh!"

That is the thing made of Lovecraft's nightmares...if he were alive.
