Are spiders nature’s most misunderstood creatures? After all, the mere mention of them (especially in large quantities) is enough to send shivers down the average person’s spine. They’re so reviled, in fact, that when someone sets their house on fire trying to murder them, it doesn’t even sound all that unreasonable.

And if you don’t believe us, here’s another internet-classic example of an otherwise ugly and terrifying spider made tolerable with nothing more than a silly dub:
See, works every time. And if you’re still not convinced, here’s a very similar spider to Lucas sans small child’s voice:
Absolutely terrifying.
