1	''Supper's Ready Illustrated'' is a [[FanVid fan-made animatic music video]] by Nathaniel Barlam for Music/{{Genesis\|Band}}'s 1972 [[EpicRocking epic]], "Music/SuppersReady", which puts a coherent narrative to the famously bizarre lyrics. It can be watched [[https://youtu.be/e4HfFwVy-h0 here]], with a more in-depth explanation of the visuals [[https://www.behance.net/gallery/47785017/Suppers-Ready here]].

5	!!''Supper's Ready Illustrated'' contains examples of:
6	* AudienceSurrogate: The couple that the entirety of the video follows, who is referred to in the explanatory notes as "POV".
7	* CompositeCharacter: G.E.S.M. and the [[Literature/ThePiedPiperOfHamelin Pied Piper]] are portrayed as one in the same in the video, while in the song by itself it wasn't clear who the latter was referring to.
8	* ContinuityPorn: Many, many of the visuals are either inspired by or directly reference parts of Genesis's history, from different costumes worn by Music/PeterGabriel during performances of the song to POV ending up seeing Genesis performing the song.
9	* CoverDrop: The one in the song is made more explicit here, with the Fox on the Rocks and the hunting party pursuing her directly recreating the album art of ''Music/FoxtrotAlbum''.
10	* DeathByAdaptation: Two, both [[ShooOutTheClowns to show how serious things have gotten]] during "Apocalypse in 9/8".
11	** [[spoiler:The Narcissus Flower -- [[SugarApocalypse and presumably everything else on Willow Farm]] --]] is incinerated by a nuclear explosion.
12	** [[spoiler:The Fox on the Rocks -- and the album cover(!) --]] is caught and killed by [[spoiler:the hunting dogs, who have been mutated into [[{{Hellhound}} the Gabble Ratchet]]]], though she reappears at UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}'s side during "As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs".
13	* EnragedByIdiocy: The POV couple is ''thoroughly unimpressed'' by the wonders of Willow Farm that they're a captive audience to. [[MoodWhiplash Until it starts going from "wondrous" to "terrifying", that is]].
14	* FoulFlower: The Narcissus Flower pretty quickly goes from a whimsical RealityWarper to a towering, sinister figure with a SlasherSmile.
15	* {{Hellhound}}: The Gabble Ratchet in "Apocalypse in 9/8". [[spoiler:They used to be normal hunting dogs, but something went ''wrong.'']]
16	* HolyHandGrenade: The TropeNamer is directly referenced, appearing as the "prayer capsule" mentioned in the song.
17	* HostileShowTakeover: The "brand new tune" that Pythagoras is writing the lyrics to in blood is ''this'' tune, which is explained as the characters in the video wrestling control of the song.
18	* InvasionOfTheBabySnatchers: G.E.S.M. uses his performance to lead children into a cave, [[Literature/ThePiedPiperOfHamelin before using a flute to lead them further]].
19	* LetsWatchOurShowPlot: At one point, the POV couple ends up in the audience of "Supper's Ready" being performed live, with Music/PeterGabriel in the flower mask he typically donned during "Willow Farm" that the Narcissus Flower is based on. It's at this point that the ''actual'' Narcissus Flower starts to show his true colors.
20	* OhCrap: The Narcissus Flower's reaction upon seeing [[spoiler:the nuclear explosion that kills him]] approaching out of nowhere.
21	* MegatonPunch: POV Woman, evidently a BadassNormal, punches out a fully-armored knight bare-handed.
22	* MonochromeToColor: Movements III and IV are both entirely in black and white, which makes the transition to Movement V all the more noticeable.
23	* PeopleZoo: The POV couple, after being captured by demons, are put into a zoo exhibit labeled "Beasts that can talk", between [[Music/AndThenThereWereThree a snowman]] ("Beasts that can melt") and [[Music/ATrickOfTheTail a Squonk]] ("Beasts that can cry").
24	* RapidAging: The "young lad" who turns into the Narcissus Flower first becomes an old man before fading away.
25	* TheShadowKnows: The G.E.S.M.'s shadow grows during his fire display to combine with the hand-clasping-the-sun symbol on his wall, appearing to give it gnarled horns.
26	* ShoutOut:
27	** The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man advertises his "Jar o' Miracles" using Creator/VinceOffer's "Shamwow pose".
28	** The "prayer capsule" takes the form of [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch]].
29	** The fish that the Narcissus Flower says the POV couple is "happy as" are [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo a clownfish and a surgeonfish]].
30	* SplashOfColor: The transition from the monochrome "How Dare I Be So Beautiful" to the colorful "Willow Farm" is first marked by the Narcissus Flower's [[ArtShift suddenly animated]] face being in yellow.
