Inglip Summoned
The first words of the Dark Lord

On January 8, 2011, the Internet became a channel to dark eldritch forces with designs for our unsuspecting material world.

No, not those dark eldritch forces.

Thaaat's more like it.

Lord Inglip is an internet meme started on Reddit, interpreting reCAPTCHA codes as cryptic messages and commands from an Eldritch Abomination. Contrary to the usual feel of such a meme, however, Lord Inglip seems to have more...understandable interests (for varying definitions of the term).

The saga is chronicled here and in a wiki. People interested in receiving the Dark Lord's words personally can consult its church.

Tropes used in Inglip include:

Follower: MASTER, WITH WHOM SHALL WE STOCK THINE HAREM?
Inglip: the Nonalive
