In this Burnistoun, Lovecraftian comedy sketch, a housing administrator interviews a tenant who has a complaint about an unnameable, unimaginable thing in his basement. Suitable for junior students and up. Ask students to infer what the creature might look like. (Stop the video just before the phone call.)

A more interesting question for discussion might be, “Why do people feel compelled to name things?”
