DUENDE!

I have duende fever. If you don't know yet a duende is a house spirit that looks just like a common garden gnome. And for some reason garden gnomes terrify Latin American teens...Well, at least on Youtube they do. All of this has been going on for a couple years now and as far as I can tell this is the video that started it all:

I LOVE THAT TINY MAN! He just crab waddles out of the bushes, gives the crowd a little wave and that's enough to send these kids into hysterical screams and panic.
The rest of the videos that followed(of the one's that weren't obvious fakes.) all kinda adhere to the same formula. Kids playing, talking, and laughing in Spanish/Portuguese then at the end of the video: DUENDE! Followed by pandemonium. That and the duendes seem to be a bit smaller than the first one.

DAMNIT! He was just lounging there the whole time. oh brother. This one's pretty good:

Hackysack? no,no,no DUENDETIME!

From Brazil:

Is that guy in fatigues? Not even army men are immune to the Micro-terror that is DUENDE! I wonder if some South American film company is gonna make a Crittersesque, direct to DVD horror franchise out of this craze. They SHOULD!
Lastly, there does seem to be one American duende clip. The title of the video cracks me up. I bring you: I Know Gnomes Arent Real, But Can Someone Please Help Me
