Meatwad: They're gonna love you MC Pee Pants, just give them a chance.
Frylock: Yeah sure, you're all the things that are in this ad here. You're energetic, hard-working, you love people.
Giant Spider: No, I love the liquid inside people! How many times do I gotta tell you, man? I'm insane! I eat people-juice! No one's going to hire a people-juice-eater!
Frylock: Look, we're here to change all that. Now pull up your diaper. You want to make a good first impression.

If you're all about feeding spiders, you can try out Spider Atsume (desktop, not mobile -- sorry!).

A fairly large* spider has taken an empty bin as its home, and I've been feeding it any insects (and one, smaller spider) that I find. I've never actually seen it eat, but I'll come back a bit later and whatever I dropped in is just gone. I'd always pictured it as sucking the goop out and leaving a hollow exoskeleton, but apparently spiders are nose to tail eaters?
*I think it's a "giant house spider", which are big for around here but perhaps generously named. It's still large enough that I heard it walking though.
