A greentext-style video contrasts a calm, understated British wildlife documentary about a praying mantis stalking a spider with an exaggerated American version full of guitar riffs, rapid jump cuts, dramatic narration, dubbed growls, and a black-and-white slow-motion replay. The joke mocks sensationalized action-movie editing and melodramatic American nature programming, ending with the pun that the spider should have “prayed” to the praying mantis. It is used as an absurd reaction to over-the-top narration or needless cinematic dramatization.

British documentary Here in the jungles of Batantutu the praying mantis is in search of its prey Three minutes of very clean and uninterrupted footage of the praying mantis following a spider No room at all for misinterpretation American documentary Guitar riffs playing in the background You probably wouldn't want one of these killers in your backyard Hard. Rapid jump cuts of the Praying Mantis The Praying Mantis might look like a bug in church, but this nasty mother sucker is not to be messed with. More flashy jump cuts. This little spider doesn't know what's waiting for him. The fury of the Mantis is not to be underestimated. More flashy jump cuts. The Mantis strikes. Animal growling and screeching noises are dubbed in as it attacks because silent footage is too boring for Americans. Slow Mo replay of the attack in black and white. And it's over in a flash. That little spider should have prayed to the Mantis. Star Wipe to next clip.
