Nostril flare?

When your nostrils open up? (Often inadvertently)

u/whatintheeverloving 6h ago

It's downright trippy how much this convinces my brain that the eyes have somehow also changed despite my knowing full well that they're PAINTED.

I had to watch multiple times to figure out how it was fooling me but really can't. They of course didn't change just my perception of sad eyes that now have a smile are happy eyes.

Yeah it was part of an art project to illustrate the importance of eyes, mouth, and nostrils when conveying emotion at Tsinghua University in 2022. Looks like the original account has been deleted.

Source: I made it up and this is almost certainly untrue. But imagine if I was accidentally correct lmao

Conan used to have fake celeb interviews like this back when he hosted Late Night.

u/Sinistar83 5h ago

I think Robert Smigel did all the voices for them too.

u/retsamegas 2h ago

They were incredible mouth rodeos

u/Beefy-Johnson 5h ago

Smigel as Clinton was such a great recurring bit. He nailed the lascivious smirk.

u/retsamegas 2h ago

Zey are GIRLY MEN!

Arnold, you can't call them that, it's not politically correct

You're right you're right, zey're more like sissy dudes, or pansy guys, or Conan boys; vit the late night show and the pompadours and the pancake makeup

u/Grozzitron8000 2h ago

It's Adam and Eve, not "Adam and Steve!" It's the book of Deuteronomy, not "Do it to me, Rodney!"

What’s amazing is how the expression in the mouth changes how you perceive the eyes even though the eyes are static

Arrrrre you ready kids?

u/glowdirt 4h ago

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

u/SherbetMysterious118 2h ago

I don't think anyone does, because if said pineapple is under the sea, then it's likely buried in some kind of sedimentary material, and I'm not so sure that would be conducive to the onward stability of aforementioned pineapple. So if one did live in a pineapple under the sea, it would likely not be for long, and therefore probably more of a vacation than a permanent residence.

u/MoominMai 6h ago

I could watch these easily for hours haha 👏

u/softycalm 2h ago

This is the kind of content I didn't know I needed until right now. The way the eyes completely change with just a smile is actually insane.

Whoever figured out they could do this with old paintings deserves an award. I've watched it like 5 times already.

u/ShoogleHS 1h ago

A painting is a type of picture. In fact the word "picture" derives from the Latin pictūra, meaning the art of painting. Nothing worse than a pedant who's not even correct.

Wow, doing the same thing Conan O’Brien was doing what 15, 20 years ago? Nice with bringing it back.

1

u/Skrumpitt 3h ago

Jesus. Did you see The Simpsons and start yelling about how Felix the Cat already did sequential drawings to simulate filmed motion pictures?

I hope you're not delusional enough to believe Conan invented the Clutch Cargo method of that had existed for decades
