Oh wow, it’s Thanos’s dad!

I always love to watch Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction

Super

He keeps saying it is our perception, but it is down to his presentation. This is a great example of how humans can easily be manipulated.

My fastest marathon of a tv series ❕

oh mah gawd! my perception of reality is distorted!! HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Brolin tried but Frakes really embodies the 90s vibe from the show

NCC-1701-D

I remember laughing my ass off at the upside down face illusion 14:12 - it's still hilarious.

4:08 Except they're not exactly the same length as the corners are further than the wedges. 8:38 Now it appears that one face is spitting into the mouth of the other😄

I think it's Scott Kim who did the false/true and ambiguity visuals. He used to contribute to Scientific American and Games.

This is beyond fun

Sound like Jonathan had some sour grapes about the Nielsen ratings

He doesn’t explain the Penrose triangle, impossible cube, Einstein mask or hollowed-out ambulance correctly at all…

Diet Orson Welles.

Me: 12...B...14 😐

6:50 OMFG legend!

In the illusion of the boxes he says “The truth is there are two boxes but our eyes won’t permit us to see both at once.” This isn’t true. There are zero boxes on the paper. A box is a 3D object, and the paper is 2D. There are two 2D representations of two 3D objects that are drawn from different perspectives, it is impossible to see both at the same time because only one exists as a 3D object on each plane.

observe: here, is drawing of a circle on a piece of paper. But turning the piece of paper 180 degrees on its y axis, reveals that the circle is, in fact, a straight line. So, which is truth and what is a lie? Perspective is only a matter of perception. Change you perspective to change your perception.

Hey dude, how’s life going?

Zzzzzzz

17 minutes of a man being confused about how things happen

"your not just a clown. your an entire circus" - miles edgeworth

Man the way he switched those tablecloths to a smaller one for that smaller table was some incredible sleight of hand.

I really enjoyed this installation. A black man fighting an imaginary enemy is such a powerful commentary on racial identity politics, and an Asian man being beaten a person who's identity has been scrubbed from sight is a similarly powerful commentary on the media's portrayal of the perpetrators of Asian hate. Truly powerful stuff.

i grew up on this show

That picture of frakes with the upside down smile gave me nightmares as a kid

NO DO NOT FOLLOW THE CLOWN!!! THEY ALL FLOAT!

If 'Dad jokes' were illusions

I’ll never get that time back that’s for sure!

4:50 his name is Saggy Sammy

2:50 so I guess this is what they mean when they say “you’re not a clown, you’re the entire circus”

Some of these are deceptive because of the lighting of the show, not because of the optical examples themselves.

Blind person: I don't get any of this.

I love that he says it’s a carving of a rabbit, but when he moves it, it makes a very audible thump of hollow plastic

7:19 makes me feel so wild and dangerous, 7:42 blew my mind, 9:57 has my fav quote?! That final end quote has to be second fav. It def gets old near the end in this vid because they repeat the same point over and over and in a compilation video

Lame

That fucking smile after the Nielsen Family line

6:42 - I'm dying laughing at this.

This show is the gift that keeps on giving

Frakes seems so happy to explain each illusion it's very charming and funny

Leslie Nielsen really hit hard times

4:33 That is literally just an upside-down cake.

i feel like a lot of these were way more effective before the internet lol

That "Ambiguity" is also a stylized palindrome by art.

5:31 But... that's the cube I saw anyway?

I hope when I die I wake up in a warm library study with antique upholstery, and Johnathan Frakes is waiting for me there with a smug grin on his face and tells me "You probably thought you lived a full life and died. You're wrong. Our perceptions can deceive us." And the CRT TV of my childhood turns off and my mom brings out cookies and milk.

Why's he want me to take all that stuff?

Shitposts before shitposts. Way ahead of its time.
