OMG, I thought it was serious at first - I was amazed that drugs had an effect on spiders. Now I'm just giggling insanely at the crack spider. :D

Amusingly enough, the premise here is actually based off a real experiment that was performed.

That's what suckered me in when I first watched this (and it made it somehow even funnier).

"Nice web, Mr. Crack Spider."

That is very cool.

I love it. The narrator's voice is just perfect. :)

They even got the exact didactic tone that the Canadian commentators use for stuff like that. It was so realistic.

That's because it's a REAL national film board film, funded by the taxpayers of Canada!

I have no idea if that is true or not, but if it is, it would be the best use of arts funding in Canadian history

I agree. Much more impressive than stuff about calling moose.
