Lovecraft on Mastermind

[drplbiftin]

'do you read these books for pleasure?'

WTF? 

[myrkvargkjetter]

Does the host/quizmaster say "Necro-money-con" right before 2:00? <.<

[fearofclowns1989]

None of you losers are going to marry her, get a grip. It's amazing how no intelligent women can appear in a video clip without a bunch of dullards commenting on how 'sexy' she is and how they're 'going to marry her'. It'd be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic.

[hiimquinn]

@fearofclowns1989 you DO realize it's not us trying to be pigs, but us trying to complement her, right? by saying she's "Sexy", we're commenting on the fact of not only how nice she looks, but how intelligent she is, and how it's amazing that people still study his literature. we all KNOW we're never going to get a shot with her, we just wish to be nice. now get your head out of your ass and enjoy the damn clip

[fearofclowns1989]

@hiimquinn How typical of a 21st century troglodyte, try to put forth an articulate response, and then ruin it by adding an insult at the end. And you had been going so well until the 'now get your head out of your ass' jibe too. For shame. By the way, you may wish to expand your vocabulary if the only way you can think to compliment an intelligent woman is to call her 'sexy'. Slightly misogynistic is it not? It's not like she was answering questions on Plato by the way, wind your neck in.

[hiimquinn]

@fearofclowns1989 haha, like i said, get your head out of your ass and stop feeling so high and mighty about yourself. and i really don't think that's the only way to compliment a woman, but i'd say it's obviously what these gentlemen on this board are referring to. if you have nothing better to do then to chastise them for it, then you need to get out more. indeed she wasn't, but she was answering questions on the works of one of the most talented writers to grave the planet

[spats67]

She's fucking brilliant. A high brow chat about our Goth pal Lovecraft swiftly followed by a return to the academic reality of mastermind, a question about jason donovan. A tricky one at that - not about his favourite drugs, but his pop career. But our Laura was on the case

[Doinghisbest]

I love Laura Campbell. I'm going to marry her, and spend our days reading H P Lovecraft together in a weird, creepy house. Absolute bliss.

[ManilaSyndicate]

:-) Unattractive girl using brains to compensate. Her snobby, smug attitude clearly shows it.

I agree with a previous comment - either she has Aspergers or she's full of herself.

Looks like a basically nice gal though.

[EVERYVERSER]

actually she does seem to possibly have aspegers, she was staring at his chest the whole clip.

people with aspergers tend to have trouble looking at the faces of others when talking to them.

[ManilaSyndicate]

@EVERYVERSER Interesting info.. I never heard of that concerning Aspergers.

[reafdaw01]

@EVERYVERSER Even if you were a medical professional, it would be a stupid and useless thing to diagnose her over a clip on the internet.

[EVERYVERSER]

@reafdaw01 I agree wholeheartedly.

[TheLegendaryTim]

She reminded me of Dr. Who actress Lala Ward for a minute. Love that long hair.

[SirRunk]

I'm not gonna lie - I'm sporting wood.

[mathewrodgersrocks]

My future wife!

[ar2110302]

Goth as fuck.

[ar2110302]

What is HP Lovecraft? Some kind of a boat?

[MsHolylove]

fiction, lol,  we whish

[catchmytubeHere]

10 points for gryffindor!

[HnefataflModern]

Not sure if this has already been mentioned yet, but that is Ramsey Campbell's daughter....which explains a lot.

[dnggitg]

@HnefataflModern You had me going for a minute! Ramsey Campbell is so Lovecraftian. But I looked him up and learned that he never sired a girl named Laura.

[Raford146]

This is sexy and horrifying at the same time.

[almanacofsleep]

I'd like to stick my Great Old One in her Lovecraft

[jilloplo]

@almanacofsleep

How tasteless.

I laughed really hard.

[Pittip2]

i DO love her

pls write me: pittip@gmx.net

[calabiyou]

somehow moving

[mager56723]

Wait wait wait.

Lovecraft wrote fanfiction about houdini?

[Kookas]

Wow, shit guys. You aren't supposed to have a boner all the time (I'm sure that's some kind of medically treatable condition?).

[burningsinews]

she walks like a robocop

[Bluehawk2008]

She has given herself to the Deep Ones many times and gifted them with her children. She's gotten and given more and with a wider variety than any mortal woman should.

[sharkyc12]

talvez haya algo de real en las historias de Lovecraft

[fictionalsilence]

Am I the only one who listens to this while I sleep? It sort of relax me.

[edichkaa]

whats all this "she needs to get laid" crap?!you can get laid and read some lovecraft too you know!

[lacrahuntington]

@edichkaa just looking at how she sits, the way she dresses and the way she talks she REALLY needs to get laid.

[grassic]

The questions are easy!

[Techroach]

Hot... especially her mind

[ULTIMAifrit]

she.........needs to get laid........

[BloodspillingSam]

I just realised to someone watching this who has never read any work by Lovecraft, that just made no sense oO It probably half sounded like a cult to those who don't know about it.

[TheJameslehr]

Just a woman for my taste. Also a good selection of questions in both the HPL and non-HPL selections of questions.

[TheJameslehr]

Just a woman for my taste.

[feverfewmedia]

Way to go, check out my H.P. Lovecraft project. Innsmouth at 9000 ft, I am a big fan as well.

[feverfewmedia]

Way to go, check out my H.P. Lovecraft project. Innsmouth at 9000 ft

[HDBanyan]

The Office? Pass. Give me some Lovecraft!

[nagaraga]

Laura is a fantastic woman. I had the pleasure of knowing

her for a few years.

Unfortunatly we lost contact

when she went to uni. I would

love to get in contact with her

again.

[StuffedMannequin]

I love how the Miss Teen USA 2007 is under the suggested videos compared to this woman.

[Asmodeus8797]

I have chosen this female to bear my infernal spawn. The breeding must begin at once.

[gabrieldix64]

@Asmodeus8797 You'll be stirring my porridge son..

[Chaosian01]

Shes almost robotic in her conversations and responses..

[Stubbzs]

did anyone else progressively get a hard on as she kept getting more answers right?



[gabrieldix64]

@Stubbzs I was going off like a spunky firework kidda!

[PhesRock]

Swoon.

[MrChoronzon333]

With an ankh hanging around her neck, butt-length hair brushed a thousand times and a prim mouth set in grim academic determination, graduate student Laura Campbell goes on the British quiz show Mastermind and completely owns her chosen subject: the literature of H.P. Frickin' Lovecraft.

Honest to god, the only way this could be sexier is if Laura was wearing a bikini made out of tentacles.

[morningchaps]

One the one hand,her quiet & self-contained demeanor suggests that with half a glass of wine,she would turn out to be an absolute firecracker in bed. On the other hand however,her terrifying knowledge of the things outside of time,the gelatinous horrors of incalculable cruelty & oceanic vastness,that seep through the walls of our dreams to poison our humours,twist our desires,warp our senses & claw at our minds eye with dripping onyx talons,seeking our endless enslavement -nah,I'd still do her.

[seeingsights]

I'd like to demonstrate my expertise in lovecraft on her.

[zorin333]

lololo bokmål and nynorsk

[Bhurzum]

She has the Innsmouth look but I love her anyway!

[KillYourBabyToday1]

lol he said "necromonicon"  1:55

[LePierre]

They cut out the bit at the end where she pulls off her face and brings destruction to all mankind.

[absoza]

please, translate to portuguese subtitles!

[Alexm799]

She looks like my auntie June! Hi June, didn't know you were a Lovecraftian!

[OliveTreeLeaf]

I want to meet Lovecraft

[DrJReefer]

@OliveTreeLeaf All you need to do is wait

[wittwelsh]

Love craft. Now I get it.

[softheartedproducts]

I think I'm in love.

[DaelinD]

"I think there is something quite cathartic about being quite thoroughly freaked out".

This sentence must go on my tombstone. Seriously!

[jeffteach]

She'd be fun to party with on Halloween

[AcidFlashback321]

Sexist jokes replied to by women as serious commentary

[DarthCoors]

She's hot!

[binarynightmare]

@MerulaMondlicht

I never thought of women, at any point in my entire life, to be inferior in any way. Other people, maybe, but that's just me having people problems.

And not all men are boring and insipid, either. Lovecraft's a bad example, though (he was a mad racist).

[binarynightmare]

@MerulaMondlicht

Well, her and you then.

And when did I insinuate that women were idiots, exactly?

[binarynightmare]

@MerulaMondlicht

We prefer to think of ourselves as harmlessly eccentric.

And no, actually, I know of no other woman ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET (besides herself) who likes Lovecraft.

[WynneL]

@binarynightmare *raises hand* Female here. Like Lovecraft. I also play FPS and RPG video games, listen to metal, LARP Vampire... there are plenty of women who have unusual interests; we just don't talk about them to every random person we meet because the average person is like, "Lovecraft? Is that some kind of sensitive pornstar?" and if you start mentioning ancient horrors from beyond the stars they just kind of stare blankly.

[binarynightmare]

@WynneL

Then, in my book, you are officially awesome.

Also, I GET IT NOW. THERE ARE WOMEN WHO LIKE LOVECRAFT.

Comprende? Si!

[DemonKingMMA]

That girl needs some Sex Mythos.

[rayblack2004]

@DemonKingMMA at least she has something interesting to talk about, plus she comes across as honest

[TheNightSpirit666]

I'd tap that

[McPerfectday]

Anyone who wants to bad mouth this girl... please check the related video "miss teen USA 2007". Besides, Laura also answered questions on Douglas Adams as her specialist subject. That makes her an immortal Mastermind contestant.

[TheKoolKitteh]

".....uh, pass."

Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Sacrifice the unworthy!

[ricky1234321]

Thumbs up if the adds are really annoying.

[simetradon]

I want to implant my babies into her trachea.

[riverlioness]

I would love to hang out with that woman. She could make interesting conversation.

[Imogen1885]

So many people inthe UK have the same speech impediment this woman has.

[letsif]

Has she ever been kissed?

[Reverendjim1]

@letsif lol! 

[Dracko55]

"I've selected 'Things Only I Know' as my category."

[misterlaufeyson]

@Dracko55 hi dracko

[varanid9]

HA! I knew both answers she missed (though she got a couple I couldn't think of).

[willowrhayne]

I took him to mock both Atheist and Religious, he seemed to dwelve into the unknown and ancient, alien often but beyond that, exploring realms beyond normal human thought, But i guess you could say he was an atheist of sort.

[BeavisNButtheadRock]

@willowrhayne He was. Lovecraft explained it in a letter to close friend and correspondent Robert E. Howard in a letter.

[willowrhayne]

@BeavisNButtheadRock Atheist you mean correct?

[BeavisNButtheadRock]

@willowrhayne Lol yeah man. I'm an atheist myself, but Lovecraft was one of my favorite authors long before I discovered he was an atheist. Of course once I did, I respected him even more XD.

[willowrhayne]

@BeavisNButtheadRock how boring the skies would be, if you thought beyond nothing of the physical, but to each their own.

[jayhayes2007]

She just...needs to get into my bed, have sex with me and eat me alive. Like a Black Widow. I'd be happy dying like that.

[pyramidheadkitten9]

she must have my children.

[Warsong27]

She's very intelligent and somewhat sexy in a Queen of the Dead point of reference. While I think Lovecraft was a paranoid racist it cannot be argued that he was also suffering from a grave lack of social skills that influenced his writing. As one just thinks about his haunts in literary sense, his detachment from society is what makes work unique but, also ultimately closes him off further from reality. This young lady on the other hand is quite the charmer and it would be a pleasure.

[varanid9]

@Warsong27 I'd say that's true of many successful writers. If you read the intense political views of fantasists like China Mieville, for instance, it makes sense that a firm grounding in reality could be counterproductive to complete mental freedom. I think most of us possess a spiritual umbilical cord to reality that keeps us sane, but some have, through repeated pulling, made theirs quite flexible.

[JRM19941]

Here is an idea: let's watch the video and quit the bickering. 

[raindog951]

Brilliant lady!

[LifeInBrunswick]

Laura Campbell is welcome to come to my place and talk Lovecraft whenever she likes. Maybe if we watch Re-animator together she'll at least smile :P .

[viper8red]

I think her teeth are in a fight with her lips. Maybe she just wants a carrot?

[aphexsam]

Intelligent, attractive and armed with a sizeable knowledge on the Cthuhulu mythos...by jove I think i'm in love.

[lacrahuntington]

@aphexsam I think you must be blind

[fascismanarchy]

Religious people are the most frightened nitwits in this universe.

[K4inan]

She's too sucked up into lovecrafts work... She claims that reading and putting down a book and experiencing pleasure is ''Not real''... She's not really intelligent if she was that influenced by his books.. I thought his work and grasp of reality and such wasn't even convincing. Read Goethes ''Faust''. That's a REAL book if you want to be scared. Requires real intelligence to thoroughly comprehend it though.

[fascismanarchy]

@K4inan Well..dude..It's FAKE MOTHERFUCER IT'S FAKE! Lovecraft's work, convincing as it may seem, remains a work of fiction. Science is based on measurement, not on speculation.

[K4inan]

Look at how she looks to the left, or right from our view, and ''reads'' in the air before she answers. She has PHOTOGRAPHIC (eidetic) memory... that's just cheating in my book.

[SecretAgent068]

It'd be funny to see an American contestant on this show.

"Ummmmmmmm...pass." Ummmmmmm...pass." Ummmmmmm...pass."

"Can't you ask me something about American Idol or Survivor??"

[anthcybo]

@SecretAgent068

It'd be funny to see a British contestant asked about how to brush their teeth. "Ummmm.. pass". Aren't negative stereotypes fun? You ignorant prick.

[SecretAgent068]

@anthcybo Wow, you completely missed the point. FYI I'm American and basically just calling it like I see it in a lighthearted fashion. Obviously we have Jeopardy and maybe a few others as well, but I still stand behind my comment. You might want to try some anger management classes.

[CrockettVice21]

@SecretAgent068 I'm American, I completely agree with you.  You have to be SHARP to be on this show. This is the reason it's so hard to find a woman with a decent IQ in the U.S....

[philglass69]

@SecretAgent068

yes Americans are so stupid,this is why everybody is trying to get into American univeristies, and even the great OXford does not rank in the top ten in any subject other than philosophy,but this is the kind of comment I would expet fromsomebody who lives in the 51st state the UK

[SecretAgent068]

@philglass69 Uhhhhhhh...I'm an American who obviously has a better sense of humor than you do. Lighten up - yet another youtuber who completely missed the point. A college degree doesn't make you smart. It's basically just a hall pass. Check out George Carlin and Bill Hicks if you don't believe me.

[philglass69]

@SecretAgent068

and how many comedians are out of work or making posts on youtube?

[ManilaSyndicate]

@philglass69 Well stated.

[johnnystulic42]

On 1:55 he says "NecroMoNicon" xD Poor dude. It's tough to be tossed into Lovecraft's terminology like that. I think the names of his monsters make people insaner than the monsters themselves.

On a sidenote, I'd screw the living crap out of her while she's reciting segments from the Necronomicon in that British accent.

[DarthRaukrist]

LoL- wonder what she thinks of all you creepers..

[allaboutdmagic]

Arkham's the best town in the whole damn world!

[kagasan2008]

Yes. She is totally hot.

[binarynightmare]

Is there anything hotter than a girl nerd like her? I mean, DAMN. I'm in love.

Does she read it for pleasure? My God, man, you're retarded. No, her thought process was 'I hate Lovecraft, I know nothing about it so I'll go on Mastermind.'

Also, the stories Ms. Campbell says are science ficition, are in fact horror. Cosmic horror, to be precise.

[Markofsatan]

She knows her stuff I only got four. I could do squamish and and eldrich things to her by golly..

[MdP2]

If I ever write a Lovecraftian work, I'll definitely try to get an opinion from that lady...

[jackdoe83]

I am not in love!

[evilmonkey666555]

This woman is attractive both mentally and physically

[tapper36]

I find this girl to be incredibly hot.

[Mangoyle]

Laura Campbell? Isn't that the name of Natalie Imbruglia's character in Johnny English?

[rockpop1]

omg i wanna marry her

[Necronomiconer]

happy 140th birthday Lovecraft

[666slink]

Laura is seeeeexy!

[broodingcarcass]

shes so awesome!

[elric69]

O... M... G... She is seriously hot in an eldritch kinda way!

[FractalBolt]

She got the very first question wrong. "CoC" is the name of a story, but the Mythos themselves are simply called Cuthulhu mythos"

[ThePhantasist]

I wish we had this show in the States.

[shortcircuit925]

seriously if there were more women like this in the world, we would probably live in a better world in general

[reptomicus]

She kinda makes my Elder Things happy...wait who said that?

[TimothoNuva]

@reptomicus We all said that, don't sweat it. :)

[enrique6890]

hot, terribly hot

[Curttehmurt]

1:24 The blasted heath

[blubbson]

she looks like an aspie

[ShxtBlowsUp]

@blubbson whaat? how can you tell something like that?

[Klikoderat]

I knew all the answers, except the name of the wizard on Yaddith! Who else cringed when she didn't know the Blasted Heath?

[myulk666]

@Klikoderat I sure did. I would have failed on nearly half of the questions, but found it a bit shocking since "The Colour Out of Space" is my favourite story with Lovecraft along with "The Whisperer in Darkness". I'm still impressed by her though! ;)

[MrCowtank]

He absolutely butchered the name of the written Norwegian languages... Even I had would have had a hard time answering that, and I am Norwegian...

[myulk666]

@MrCowtank Agreed I'm from Sweden and kind of picket up the word "nynorsk" but the way he pronounced it the second time was almost beyond all recognition.

[badnewswade]

Goths rule!

[vaguelyhumanoid]

Is she beautiful or what?

[wwwHOOPCAPITALcom]

@vaguelyhumanoid

not.

[ReverseDFatE]

did she win?

[NinjaRunningWild]

I'd love to unleash my Cthulhu on her

[teavb94]

omg,this girl owns!!!!!!!! o.O

[fictionalfilm]

"I think there's something quite cathartic about being thoroughly freaked out."

Who is this woman? I like her...

[norsef]

And then the lights cut out and she eats everyone.

[BrainGearMovies]

She said Call of Cthulhu instead of the Cthulhu Mythos. Cthulhu is not pleased.

[eddyg545]

Are we going to appreciate H.P Lovecraft or druel over this ...well what seems you are calling damsel but I would rather say average looking woman

[BurgerOfFilth]

man, i love hp lovecraft but i cannot answer like that!!!!

[montotus]

She rules!!! I'm a Game Master of Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game and i'm sure that she culd give me a lot of info for my writings. It's amazing... I mean, i could answer almost all the mythos questions, but it took me a few secconds to think and she answered right away!!! OUTSTANDING!!!

[HanDeckardJones]

She's good and geeky cute.

[Pittip2]

i really want to make love to tha girl

[dirkschuitsma]

@Pittip2

i really want to make that girl laugh..;)

[Nemesis0300]

Man, I've got some reading to do. The only questions I new, was the one with the answers "Shoggoth, and Call Of Cthulhu". Damn..

[shortcircuit925]

big fuckup on the reanimator question

[smithdude101]

She sounds like a total bitch who lit your ass up if you told her she was wrong

[MrBlindPenguin]

I think I'm in love.

[1amsm1th]

convoluted ellipsoid or gtfo

[johngreen120]

She's really weird...

[lolscum]

lmao wat a fukken NEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD

[DXsuckitclub]

no she is not a nerd your just very unintellegent.

[allergictoidiocy]

I'd love to pick her brains ^^

btw. is it just me, or did the guy say Necromonicon instead of Necronomicon at 1:54?
