'The Motherf*cking Pterodactyl' video is one of the most explicitly entertaining music videos to hit the Internet in a long time.
The video is featured on the quirky website Oatmeal. The website is the brainchild of Matthew Inman, a Seattle, Washington native who lives on a steady diet of crickets and whiskey. Sung by indie folk popstar Sarah Donner, the video begins with the lyrics, "He is the motherf*cking pterodactyl, here to tear you a new a**hole." Throughout the video you see the pterodactyl doing everything from excreting lightning bugs and putting the T-Rex to shame. There's even a shot of him giving both fingers in front of the Jurassic Park sign.
The pterodactyl is not all about negativity. He enjoys his hobbies, such as smoking his pipe and rollerblading.
