"Looking down from two miles above the surface of the Earth, it is impossible not to be impressed by the sheer grandeur, splendor and power of the natural world. But perhaps most impressive of all.... is just how very flat it is."
So opens the latest Nerdist Planet Earth parody trailer, which mercilessly trolls those who believe the Earth is flat.
The clip is narrated by David Attenborough-sound alike, whose reverent descriptions are the hallmark of the beloved BBC series.
"Here we are at the ends of the Earth, Antarctica," he breathes. "While the flatness of the Earth may be awe-inspiring, it presents many dangers to the natural world."

"This flat Earth belongs to all of nature's creatures: from the tiny shew, to the colossal blue whale. And to mutant lizard people, who live in the hollow tunnels millions of miles below the Earth's surface, developing technology for our Illuminati overlords."
