In Space No One Can Hear You Narrate
I've already gone over the idea of being a xenobotanist, but it hadn't occurred to me until recently that there were much on offer in the field of xenozoology. That said, it seems patently clear that people don't put nearly enough time into the careful consideration and analysis of the alien threats that constantly lurk in the gaping void of space.

They're waiting for us, out there among the stars, these strange parasitic entities, bristling with strange appendages (ovipositors and suchlike). In cases like these, education is the key to survival; in order to properly combat the inhuman menace, we must consider in detail the threats it poses.
To that end, I was able to use my xenobotanical reputation to swing the funding needed to land an expedition on an uncharted planetoid to film the creatures you'll see in this video. I warn you now, the video you are about to watch contains scenes of a graphic nature. We show you these not because they are intended to shock, but because we understand the importance of education about the universe around us.
Thank goodness we have Sir David Attenborough to guide us through these harsh times, to help educate us on the alien menace, its strange biology and habits.
+ Show Spoiler +For the last week or so, this video has been blocked worldwide due to a copyright claim. About an hour ago, I filed a disagreement it was all solved super quickly. I'm very impressed with the whole process  Also, I think I know more about David Attenborough's speech patterns than any other human being alive. This has not diminished my impression of the man at all. He is a wonder.

Haha, you finally released it? 5 stars automatic! As usual, great [seen the video already by you :B].

|

5/5 that video was hilarious!
Also, how did you make it? Did you extract Mr. Attenborough's voice from separate occasions, take just one speech of his or pull off an amazing impersonation?

I just stripped the audio from as many Attenborough documentaries as I could find, opened them all in Audacity and clipped as many samples from them as I could find that were relevant. From there, all I had to do was find enough shots of the creature(s) from Alien to actually make the whole thing work out and then try to line them up such that the events/voice made sense together.
It would probably have been easier to just learn how to do a really good Attenborough impersonation

Thanks all :D The YouTube copyright business was the first time I've ever had to file a dispute or whatever it is, I had honestly expected it to take forever and be full of headaches, but within an hour or so it said that the offended party had "agreed with your dispute" and suddenly it was all viewable
