Hear with Your Eyes: The McGurk Effect

[plaidchuck]

If you know basic phonology it's pretty easy to beat this effect.. if yous see no tongue movement or lips closing then the sound can't be "ba ba" (bilabial) or "da da" (aveolar)

[666FLiP666]

You didn't do it very well, but nice explanation.

[joshie9119]

they both sound exactly the same...

[glumpfi]

can you do it with "buck you" as audio and change the b to f in the videos? must be really funny :D

[sillymary368]

The audio you hear IS "I love you", His LIPS are saying 'olive juice', not his voice.

[cristamachine18]

why do you need to listen with your eyes?

its clear that if you take of the magnifying glasses off your face all you have left are those ears of yours.

[xelizer]

You said I love you, idiot. I can still close my eyes and listen again. And my mother listend to only the "I love you" Without looking at the video and having no idea what it was about, and she said. "I love you" So go fuck youself. Fake shit!

[TheProven]

@xelizer he did say i love you, he was showing how you can fake lips to go with words idiot

[xelizer]

@TheProven Anyways. It was a complete waste of an excample.

[fattynutella]

there's something odd about his eyes

[WeMakeUup]

Keep Pressing 5 while watching video i bet you will laugh lol

[HoboAddiction]

heard ba ba every time :\

[leahthunda]

i heard Ba ba for some of them too, but mainly a weird da da

[thettguy]

I hear I love you when I close my eyes and when I watch. Did he cheat on this one?

[1simonmatthews]

@thettguy I thought that too, but after I thought about it I realized what he meant. In the video his lips were mouthing the words 'Olive juice' and he dubbed in the sound of the words 'I love you.' Amazing huh??? Not.

[verapamil07]

Ok , find "OFF-Elecrica Salsa" on Youtube and listen to first 5 seconds. :)

[florianserventi]

I can hear ba ba even with the video. sorry it did not work on me. however, there is one good one to do which is using the word "bar" and mouthing "far". the olive juice is good though. and this guy is a cutie pie!

[tntkop]

This happened to me once. One time, I told my wife, "I love you," but what she heard was, "you ruined my life you crazy woman!"

[ThatNoztikGuy]

This is what happens when you meet a stranger in the alps

This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass

XD

[ScatManRulez001]

my head hurts....

[Dustn2012]

you just mindfucked the shit outta me

[xBASSBOOMx]

...olive juice you too.

[bhorstkotte]

Easy on the teleprompter Barack

[KodierungHerz]

I heard ba ba...

[cyphi1]

It happened to me today when I went to the Thai food restaurant. The dude at the counter said Red Curry, but I was watching him when he said it and it looked/sounded like Led Curti. Lol. Seriously. If I had my eyes closed there wouldn't have been any question, I'm sure. The McGurk effect is real!!!

[okram69]

sorry but this time it doesn't work for me.... bababa with or without video

[Jughead2950]

In the first illusion, with or without the video, I can kind of choose whether you say "baba", "dada", "daba", or "bada". Weird...

[PerfectionKiIIs]

you said love you you dumbshit

[Camaron47]

Its like when a movie has the word "bullshit" and they over-dub it with "bogus". It works flawlessly because the mouth shapes are identical.

[oxfordpictionary]

i think the synching was slightly off in this one, which is why it didn't work as well as some other vids.

[DalueCommentarys]

you said i love you wtf u cheat

[trakkaton]

The effect is very, very weak. Otherwise synchronizing wouldn't be possible. And there are a lot of good synchronizations, everyone who speaks a couple of languages knows that.

[severelyPWNED]

I could still see his face when the video was blank O__O

[danielkjj]

i love jews

[raghavbagai14988]

@danielkjj olive juice

[Executus300]

I can see what you're reading from the reflection in your glasses.

[oxfordpictionary]

@Executus300 yeah hahahah i just noticed that too

[F7dim]

GAGA OOLALA want your bad romance! hahahaha

[bugstile]

You said i love you, with my eyes open and closed.

[bigdautorio]

@bugstile Yes, but he mouthed the words "Olive juice" in the video

[ANONONTHEJEWTUBE]

What a crazy illusion! It almost looks like you're reading off of your computer screen!

[logan1236s]

Man, he could sing the beginning of Bad Romance like a pro

[funkymonkey90210]

close your eyes and watch it??

[13brodericks]

id like to point out the second illusion is faked. close your eyes and watch it. hes still saying ;i love you'

[wert1234188]

@13brodericks Thats the point, he mouths olive juice but the audio says I love you

[riccifilippo]

I always heard Baba...

[XCM666]

Heard baba all the way...

you better check your ears ;-)

[Me1987Mo]

wasting time ,,,, NOTE ,, follow his eyes ,, focus ,, he is reading a text behind the camera ,, lol

[Rymac91]

I tend to notice what people say as opposed to how their lips are moving.

[spinoza1234567890]

omg man ur eyes are totally weeded !!!

[aLeXaMaLdOnAdO123]

cool.

[4543563]

What the hell?! Really nice this McGurk effect; I saw it clearly. Daa-daa, then a Baa-baa. Almost scared.

[00Powell]

i heard ba every time

[Danny2k7fawEva]

yeee bwooyyyyyy, look at it for the first 2 dada's turn awa when he says it for the third then look agen on the 4th u can hear 2 different words even though if you watch it, its just saying one

[stooopiddogballs]

i want a fig newton  mouth that to a friend

[AkaMiko97124]

I thought it was daa daa XD

[sleazeappeal]

YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS LARRY? YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK. A STRANGER. IN THE ASS /rage

[shadowsa2b]

if john goodman yells "this is what happens when you meet a stranger in the alps" what he supposed to have said?

[LifeOfWWe]

you sound like mike knox!!! stfu!!!

[jay4457]

ok...i still heard ba ba...even when you did it...I was wondering how the hell you made ba with out your lips touching....

[TwistedGravity]

@jay4457 it works but you have to focuse on him and not the audio

[deedoyday]

@jay4457 i agree

[triwft23]

@jay4457 He said that in the video lol

[Xenogenic]

@jay4457 Watch his mouth, not his eyes.

[XXXkLeCiIj69XXX]

close ur eyes at 0:19 puto

[Alisterthe1st]

You're a moron

[Alisterthe1st]

Stop reading and study what youre saying

[intelp400]

This explains why asian movies give me a headache

[Gamemaster003]

LOL the reason 4 that is that we make the soundn out by lookin at the mouth when u say 'da' but when listen too the audio

[TheLittleMan123]

it is not olive juice. there is no s-sound at the end and he says I and not O in Olive/I love

[varinez1]

He was saying olive juice on the video, but the he replaced the soundtrack with "I love you" for that section.

Watch what he says.

[hughwrang]

@varinez1 elephant

[happynuts]

he is reading off the screen.

[JDrockerDUDE]

lol all you ahve to do is cover his mouth on the video. you dont even have to do the whole audio only thing.

[LuisSalazar369]

your a family guy fan! :) i can tell

[13377r3331f]

the fat guy narrative video is a bit more confusing, and i think you overestimate hollywoods word dubbings.. like friday movies for example.. smoke you doesn't look like what hes really saying.. and in most movies they dont have the same enthusiasm when voice recording so it sounds as fake as it looks.

[flamingice007]

now I know how they convincingly dubbed the line in Snakes on a Plane:

"I've had it with these monkeyfighting snakes on this monday-to-friday plane!"

[Jeffnumber1fan09]

its like ur lips saying coluring it looks like i love u

[meklaw302]

just watch a couple of bad japanese karate videos in english.

[1boredom2strikes3]

i did hear ba ba first time in ur face science!! i luv u<3 dont hurt me!!

[Reaper16a]

this dude is kinda creepy

[francochris12]

that i luv u thing if u mouth alligator food it also looks like ur saying i luv u haha

[llMewMewll]

when he says 'i love you' i closed my eyes... and he did say i love you... not olive juice... CONFUSED?!?

[lynnisawesome]

you're right; his voice says, "i love you" but his lips say, "olive juice." you might want to try watching the video w/ the sound off and just watch his lips say "olive juice" :)

[Syrecc]

same with me 2

[TyomaAndFriends]

you don't need to close your eyes,you need to mute and look at his lips.

[cookielov21]

lol yeah ithought he said i love you but it said olive juice

[chocowubbles]

Yay! Lebowski reference!

[crashpoq123]

fuck this guy, get the hell outta my brain

[chocowubbles]

lol

[chaoticpix93]

This effect is the reason we have the military alphabet. B, G, C, D, E, P, and a bunch of other letters sound the same. When you have someone randomly saying their say, policy number is BCGD82 (and 8 sounds like A in some accents) it sounds like the same freaking letter.

[davidhelbich]

you could mention the dubbing in for example european versions of hollywood movies, where you often can't tell that bruce willis is actually not speaking german originally. The dubbing industry over here is very high developed... What a shame, by the way...

[TreyDubzz]

the video portion shows you saying da-da and NOT ba-ba...... look at your own lips.... you cannot say ba-ba without putting your lips together and they are clearly NOT touching in the initial video portion....... you clearly are saying da-da in the video and not ba-ba as you claim

[JackMorgz]

Try going back to that part without looking at his lips.

[philbo1965uk]

With eyes like that im not suprised he can hear with them...like big plates the geeky tw@t

[popgooey69]

thats harsh man

[philbo1965uk]

yeh sorry man...was havin a bad day,didn't mean to upset anyone.

you should try contacts though...jamjars make you look a tw@t

[123jackela]

fuck! he has biggest eyes

[chasingmystarlight]

Haha I actually knew you were saying olive juice ;)

[FoxxFire55]

Damn, his eyes are big. :o

[Danny2k7fawEva]

wasnt that suppost to be, this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass or sumit? :P

[Oukae]

is he on E?

[mousefur3]

dude look at his eyes hes reading some thing

[ddukarski55]

Ur gay

[xkurohimex]

I heard baba the entire time. So long as you hear it correctly, why does it matter? o.o;

'Baba' in Chinese means 'dad'. xD

[roadkillx666]

same =/

[seanki98]

lol i opened and close my eyes and i heard 'badabada'

[theesen84]

haha

[seanki98]

Amazing. Thanks For Teaching me that!

[sweetminttt]

[flexterM]

[seanki98]

NO HE ISN'T

[flexterM]

[seanki98]

No he is not

[flexterM]

yes he is

[nvmdude]

waterbottle

[seanki98]

how?

[flexterM]

Because he is a Dork

[roadkillx666]

PROBLEM SOLVED! ; )

[AKHalex]

I heard nothing.. The volume was as high as possible, but he was like: "bhsbhsbhwahsdghg"

[owainbills]

The first illusion wasn't convincing at all, I heard Baba. The second however was. I had to watch twice because I was checking your McDonalds logo moustache!

[PunkRockLostie815]

Thanks now I can't stop looking at it lol

[robi1900]

@owainbills

yeah i heard baba too but i felt weird cuz i did not seen his lips touching each other,,,,no one can say B without using his lips,.

[stockbucket]

u r a fukin nerd

[bnlcs15]

point less

[emresirmen]

i always hear babababababababa whats so amazing about this?

[poptheman1]

he dubbed audio he said GAGA and the sound was BABA

[hellboy9220]

holy crap, its fuckn scary

really does hpn,

replay it , close ur eyes wen he says it da first time

[Marblex3]

I heard no 'j' from that juice! ._.

[AlienCutie2009]

that was not olive juice ;/

[dgadza]

but you are saying "i love you"! i even closed my eyes and listened to it again and its definitely not olive juice

[dudleydoglucifer]

You aren't supposed to hear him say olive juice. Watch his lips. He said it first and then it got edited. You hear I loev you but he really said olive juice. But you aren't supposed to hear that. It's how the FCC makes r rated movies clean for public viewing on tv. It's the "rated" version.

[paparoach1222]

thats not true shut your eyes and you still here i love you.....

[MuppetDesign]

Strong glasses

[juniperhill1970]

[DonJuanDeMarco2]

Elephant shoe.

Even kids in the playground know about this effect.

[ErinTheDon]

2:21.... haha. :D

[sanahg]

dis 1 doesnt work da ada 1 is better

[kevituz]

you have huge eyes

[BriDirt]

omg. i thought u had a point here, but when u said "i love you", i thought u were trying to push that onto us but it was really something else. i also thought "ba ba ba" would be something else too. In other words, this whole video is a fail.

[moviedragon5000]

yeah i heard bababa the firrst time so this is a bunch of bs

[lucyimhooome]

that was so stupid

[qtbabe127]

your mustache is shaped like an "M"

[jespersschmidt]
