Gotta admit, I was wondering why there wasn't a fail tag until the reveal. Then I felt dumb.

Kinda looks like GWB

Couldn't watch the whole thing with the camera angle being shifted every 2 - 3 seconds. Who was the idiot that dreamed up that technique?

I was more surprised to learn that Anderson's Viewers Got Talent was a real thing. Does he pull them from the studio audience, or am I supposed to believe that someone actually watches his show on television?

Jamel, a french comedian, had a painter do the same for his stand-up back a few years ago:

What is it, Ms Jane?

Their snap judgement bickering is a pretty accurate depiction of what I hate about the world.

This is so far away from what I could possibly imagine a normal brain being capable of, I wonder what is happening in his head. Is this like the autistic guy that can accurately paint an entire cityscape from memory after a single viewing?

Mr.Squiggle eat your heart out.

Is it just me, or did Mrs. Osborne start to sound like Gollum near the end of her talk?

Nice to see an actual speed painting and not just a timelapse of a normal painting.

No. He's just talented, and practised.

Very talented, indeed. Have seen this done a few times. E.g. McMaster University, Hamilton Ontario Canada, frosh week activities September 1989, outdoor "concert" near the path south of Whidden Hall residence. Talented artist and musician using a similar approach did a Hendrix poster upside down and in bright (luminescent) colors. And then he burnt it. And smoked it.

I figured it would be a face. Recognizing faces is something that, for humans, has to be very precise if we are to also understand the subtle cues it provides. Read a book about body language, they showed the same thing with imagery only they flipped the face upside down and left the smile right side up.

The image is smiley/happy/positive

However when they flipped this very image...

Something very different happens

Watched it again and your comment had me coughing up a lung.
