Familiar Faces - Science of Attraction

[sagrath1982]

the fat is talking! hahaha

[ThatMightySnail]

So no one noticed they were choosing from two identical (only flipped) photos? Are they, what, retarded or just staged?

[olivia51396]

Charlie is cuter now

[omg13rebe]

Discussion point “what truly is a person’s best side (mirror experiment)”

[maxwellpassion]

Positive energy is attractive, then. Positive things. More so than negative things, at least.

[magicallittlehobo]

Spent so much money on editing and camerawork but couldn't find someone with a higher degree than a BSc? Everyone has an under-grad degree these days. Why should I see her as a credible source?

[lightningcow10]

thats not appealling to me.... the shopped charlie part......

[Devoti]

these videos also prove that guys have learned to smooth talk their gf happy.

[fallintoyesterday]

That's all well and great, but just for shits & giggles...I wanna see the buff guy's face of Charlie's body lol

[VickyAbingdon]

That didn't look like Charlie :(

[rorolilred]

OMG IT'S CHARLIEISSOCOOLLIKE!!!

[wellspokenrambler]

If anyone cares (you probably don't), the music that starts at 7:54 is called "Citysurf" or "Uptown"

(former is just music, latter has sirens)

[mooxim]

interesting. I guess when some people can't stand to see themselves in photos, it might be because they're particularly sensitive to the change when it's mirrored.

[superdooperdragon]

ironic that she's wearing a Barbie t-shirt

[nickthelick]

Dead giveaway if I did it... I have a slightly lazy right eye...!



[dougster701]

in the db million can anyone please tell me where you post your guess on twitter ? pleeaasee

[amylou0103]

@dougster701 you just write it with a hashtag, so literally type ' #DBmillions ' followed by your number, if you want put in @derrenbrown too if you want to be more sure he'll see it (: x

[dougster701]

@amylou0103 okk. thanks, you helped me a lot, much appreciated :)

[jellyboy123]

they all made from shit sperm.

[TheseBonesLiquify]

Totally true. I didnt like my bf's short hair but I grew to love it. Ironically, now he's growing it because he knows I love long hair. -.- How twisted. lol

[grapejuicee]

I can't believe this! D: But at the same time, it all makes sense now! Wow. (:

[StopIlluminati1]

Fuck the illuminati media, photoshop aint reality. Great subject and video.

[markw999]

Interestingly, I'm one of those that has a non symmetrical face. To the point that when I was younger adults that didn't know me would speak to me as if I were learning disabled.

But I haven't had as much as a cold in 3 years and I can't remember the last time I had the flu. Probably 6+ yrs ago. I wonder where they got the information that a non symmetrical face = lower immune system?

[mrmyxlptlk]

@markw999

if A, then B,

B, :. A

Not Valid. Affirming the Consequent.

[lovelaughpink09]

the hypothesis is so true! i feel like with unique looking people at first i think their sorta ugly but after a while you get used to the way they look, and they start to look better? if that makes any sense

[randomperson190]

CHARLIE NIPPLES ARE 2 DAMN BIG!!

[ibreakkidslegs]

can't stand that cunt charlie... wtf u all smokin?



[Esllava1]

That video really is interesting!

[JoshoewaGillespie]

Holy shit that guy is bad at photoshop. The skin tones didn't even match!

[ironic440]

@JoshoewaGillespie Yeah you right, that's one thing I see too and the head is not propotional to the body

[Clint945]

4:48

I don't know what she meant by 'Followed our theory quite closely' but 60% is NOT a close connection by ANY means...

50% is chance... So they got barely above chance... Essentially... you could flip a coin to decide which picture people preferred and you'd get almost the same outcome...

Bad Science.

[SquirrelJedi]

Tap 1 over and over thats one biiiiig sausage!!

[BananaHannahPotter]

I HATE after Charlie, because he just doesn't look RIGHT!

[gdragonlover2033]

@internetangelX ya me too!!

[internetangelX]

I've always liked my reflection, but never pictures of me, and I never knew why until I watched this. It's so interesting!

[emotional4747]

wait is that... charlie topless...

[xLordIEvilno65x]

@emotional4747 That is indeed his skeleton, muscular system, organ collection and fatty traces in a skin layer that covers to protect them from environmental dangers, sans a specific item of fashion which would otherwise add a layer of protection against temperatures below 37*C; this adds a cultural layer of controversy and incites a certain level of sexual assessment to the situation, which is rather apt given the topic of these videos.

Just taking objectification to extremes, no harm meant.

[emotional4747]

@xLordIEvilno65x huh?? im only a kid i dont understand big language out of skool im sorry but i luv ur pro pic

[xLordIEvilno65x]

@emotional4747 You're...the same age as me...nevermind.

Thank you! I'd actually been thinking of changing it though. :S

[emotional4747]

@xLordIEvilno65x now i feel dumb lol waevs

[xLordIEvilno65x]

@emotional4747 nah, it's fine :)

I had been taking the piss out of the general "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG charlie took his shirt off and it was really really hot" thing, even though I am pretty much like that as well XD

[MrsSimonSays]

OMG Charlie looks soooooooooooo weird all digitally modified... D: I can't get over it! It's so weird!

[boab23]

4:00 oh dear god :O



[mroldschoolhiphop1]

@boab23 haha. too funny.

[NoWitnessesNoRegrets]

I'm no looker but the woman that presents the show is a real dog.

[ctrlallterrors]

@oscie1 Sheep you say and yet still you watch it as we all did, commented as we all did.. You are not the unique snowflake you think you are petal.

[ctrlallterrors]

@mmartist99 One would counter that someone who requires so much use of self help guides etc etc and claims that picking up girls is easy is sending out mixed messages... Your "journey" was only begun because you found it difficult. Therefore your psychology of it being a "game" or conquest is entirely wrong. Women like being talked to as people not as Everest. Be yourself would be my counteradvice and stop reading books by other inadequate males.

[ErinOhhhhh]

The words "Charlie" "Science" and "Attraction" go soooooo well together :)

[xLordIEvilno65x]

8:54 awkward zoom is extremely awkward for everyone involved

[mrzack888]

if u do p90x, then u can look like that

[doublsh0t]

pretty sure Kat is a vampire

[LDNLeon]

How the fuck is 60% accuracy from a tiny sample at all convincing of the purported theory??

[ALTgurl2]

oh how i love charlie i only watched this for him

[NyanDani]

Scrawny Charlie is so much more attractive than buff Charlie. Maybe it's the mole..

[boredomeoverdose]

LOL . anybody found the edited photo of charlie weird ??

[zzlucy123]

i prefer Charlie before they edited him. I find his body so much more attractive than the body double's body (that sounded really confusing) and they got rid of his mole, which is just not acceptable.

[Mantlion]

Damn, I wish they had UK television in New York.

A lot of it is so much more intellectual.

[oscie1]

This show just gos to prove how fucking brainwashed and manipulated people really are.FUCKING SHEEP

[HybridD91]

@oscie1 Everyone is manipulated and brainwashed, it's just most aren't aware of their own and those who deny it are even worse.

[oscie1]

derren brown looks tired

[leeyuhhh]

I have to say, I found this because of Charlie, but this is actually really fascinating. I want to try this with myself.

[TheDq93]

 .   .   

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

Charlie looked so much better BEFORE the editing

[mrsamyissocoollike]

aahhhhh where's his beautiful mole? :'(

[mrsamyissocoollike]

charlie looks better in purple :D

[Veeflower]

Ugh...the symmetrical Charlie makes me feel like a lie. ORIGINAL CHARLIE OR NO CHARLIE!!!!

[littlemissrandomish]

The airbrushed Charlie just looked strange - I want the real Charlie back ! :(

[lilredhead717]

no come back mole

[Mcrrocker1819FOE]

I could do a better photoshop job than that. Tsk tsk

[ShaddsSaidSo]

"Reality is beauty." <3

[jwjhtc]

NOT CHARLIES MOLE D:

[zwaldh]

Charlie looked a lot better before all of the editing. In my opinion, it was because he looked real, and probably because I am already familiar with the way he looks. Anyways, Charlie looks perfect the way he already is, and I hope he doesn't change. <3

[animeguysaremylife]

All of the comments about "I like Charlie better the way he is" totally prove this video's point about familiarity being what we like.

[093darkknight]

omg charlie <3

[xLordIEvilno65x]

Just realised how fantastically awkward Charlie meeting Tom, his body double, must have been, judging by the fact that he hadn't managed to get his shirt back on before Tom came over...XD

[ThePaigePixie]

I actually prefer charlie's picture before editing

[chefmirmir177]

I like Charlie better the way he is. Not when he is made to look like something he clearly doesn't want to be.

[kmwgirl11]

Original Charlie is much better than edited Charlie.

[blenderpanzi]

"Airbrushed perfection" is bland anyway.

[lazy24zzz]

Charlie is a sweetie and Tom is hot. He kinda looks slightly middle eastern with his stare. Half Algerian half English?

[WooHoo507]

Charlie's better as he is.

[XxCarleeBxX]

but.....That's not the Charlie that I like to see... :/

[charlottecraneable]

Yay shirtless charlie haha

[xLordIEvilno65x]

@cprtn Sorry, most of these people are too busy lusting after unnaturally flame-haired atheists with certain recessive feminine characheristics to see this message. He's clearly Satan in a poor disguise :P

(apologies to all the fangirls for making it sound like I was calling him girly: I was just talking about the pepperoni thing XD)

[Otakawaii1]

OMG,I think Charlie is sooo hot!!! i just loove how he looks without shirt...*-*

[0WorldThatNeverWas0]

Sooo, is this the most watched Science of Attraction video because the thumbnail features a shirtless Charlie?

[SIUltimate]

so creeeepy

[RonRonRonWeasIey]

They should take some shirtless pics of Darren Criss.. just saying..

[sergioespaillat]

LOL CHARLIE NEEDS TO EAT D:<

[TheBeckiboo968]

I think Charlie looks sexier in his normal photo! It might be cause I hate six packs... But still Charlie is sexier than Tom!

[CranberrieJuicyJuice]

and That tom man is freaking seeeeeexy

[CranberrieJuicyJuice]

Thing is moles and stuff turn me off coz i have a phobia of them but i don't really notice it with Charlie but that was a pretty hot edit

[chelseabgreen]

i like scrawny, acne ridden, mole charlie better

[panstar15]

charlie has pepperoni nipples 

[xLordIEvilno65x]

@panstar15 pepperonipples? XD

[HylianCupcakeNinja]

@panstar15 BWAHAHAHAHAHA xD that's so funni ><

[xLordIEvilno65x]

7:55-8:47 I actually quite like the music in this bit. Does anyone know where to find it?

(sorry; this is my 4th comment in a row XD)

[xLordIEvilno65x]

@KadieAnneEvans the word "charlie"appears about 300 times on this page XD

[YourLilBabieGurl]

ok digitally remastered charlie looks gross i love the real charlie with his pale, non-hairy, non-buff body, and HIS MOLE!!!!!!!! hell even his acne is somewhat hawt!!!! ;)

[myxgiftxisxmyxsong]

I like how the one girl says "That one, because in the other one, his head looks crooked, and he doesn't crook his head like that." The little things you notice about people. It's sweet. =)

[TheGingersaur]

CHARLIE! :D

love him as he is :)

[bonezillion]

Oh! Charlie looks so awkward as a buff guy!

[Lolalokona]

NOOOOOOO

I love Charlie's moles why would them take them off? :(

[smilelikeyoumeaniit]

charlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[KyleCapone]

Fascinating.

[FortificationCity]

So interesting.

[mortadelletube]

I found the new Charlie hilarious!!!!! Proof that we're better au naturel! :D

[Wubblez10]

Like this if you noticed that lady Kat Akingbade has fangs O.O (look closely at her teeth)

[Scienceofattraction]

Well done to Phiz192 for making it into Science of Attraction's Chat-up line generator. Remember to keep them coming! Post them in the comments section or tweet @Sciofattraction #SOAbestchatuplines.

[ysa722]

I understand removing blemishes on the face, but making the face more symmetrical by duplicating features, I find wrong...

[Phiz192]

Chat up lines? How about: "Can I have my breath back now please? You've just taken mine away!".

[HereIsAKID]

Great video guys.

Just a fun fact, go to 7:57 and close your eyes and just listen and sounds like a gay porn.

[yaha1313131313]

I cholked on my spit when i saw charlies buff body. he looked soo exaggeratedly not him, i like scrawny charlie better

[TheMalteserGal]

Charlie should get his shirt off more often...he's literally the sexiest guy I've ever seen. Including that model. ;)

[DeafheadRuth]

Well, thanks for putting subbies on and charlie, i like you better with moles and non buff body :D

[ArwenPendragon]

"Hello Charlie, good to meet you mate. Let's get that top off." - I wonder if that line works on Charlie no matter who's saying it? One to try out if I ever meet him, haha!

[anagirl5746]

Charlie looks best with his "imperfections".

[benmakesnosense]

60% is not following the hypothesis closely...

[sleeper9]

omg hahaha oh charlie! so strange.

[LuLuDee123]

ohh i prefer the normal charlie

hench charlie totally freaked me out... !

[ceebz13]

that son of a bitch edited out his mole.

[alexistheboss15]

@ceebz13 maybe he had it removed?.... i had to have 1 removed cause it could get cancerous.

[ceebJJ]

@alexistheboss15 no, it was airbrushed out :P

[alexistheboss15]

@ceebJJ oh.... lol.... well................ anyways he is so skinny and tiny lol........ eat a sandwitch! how come girls like him... he is like a skinny justin bieber. anyways do u knw where i can find more Science of attraction thingies? i watched all of these and all of the Sciences of sex appeal parts... i want more its fun

[ceebJJ]

@alexistheboss15 LOL, i love him for his personality as well as looks ans as for the justin bieber comment, get off. xD only the 8 on this channel are availible i think. But you can get more charlie on his channel charlieissocoollike and more derren on channel 4 on demand, He also has a new series out in uk on 21st October. He does similar stuff to this i guess.

[sockmonkeysrock]

what does WONKY mean

[shortmotions]

@sockmonkeysrock not level or not straight

[Gabazamataz]

No. You cannot get rid of Charlie's mole. Just no.

[xLordIEvilno65x]

@Gabazamataz well...he sort of just did :S

[robtron2]

How is it noone recognises the similarity between the photos? WTF?

[robtron2]

How is it noone recognises the similarity between the photos? I'm guessing they weren't both on the screen at the same time?

[uchio]

How did the guy in couple #3 get that girl? She's way out of his league!!!!

[Okhaj]

Does anyone else find Kat annoying?

[Murphy4709]

mixed race couple. No chance that was a coincidence

[hayveee]

i think it's kind of funny how this video is largely about the fake world of digital photography, yet the woman, Kat, is wearing a shirt with Barbie on it. Barbie, whose body is a physical impossibility.

lol, but maybe she wore it as a joke?

[TheTinkle]

The host looks like an illusionist / show wizard. Wtf Oo

[rubyrubyxxilovemen]

@TheTinkle He is an illusionist. :)

[michnish]

The people who liked the normal pics were both girls, which makes them statistically more likely to pay attention to their photographs.

With digital photos being more available, mirrored images may not stay the most familiar.

[TheTinkle]

@michnish You're absolutely right, that's what I thought about, too. 

[Scienceofattraction]

Science of Attraction are looking for your best and funniest chat up lines. Post them in the comments section or tweet @Sciofattraction #SOAbestchatuplines. The best ones will make it into the Science of Attraction Chat up line generator.

[shortmotions]

@Scienceofattraction i lost my home can i come to your's

[capplesauce]

This was really really interesting and cool! :)

[EfutluslyStylsh]

I like Weedy Charlie :))

[Teddyclopse]

I always liked that British television uses more normal looking people. While here in the US everyone on TV is impossibly gorgeous. I guess people over there have more pressure to be attractive than I thought.

[shespah]

Saw Alex Day liked it, wondered what it was. Thought oh its a Derren Brown thing, may as well watch, And then... here's Charlie!

[hershey976]

i liked charlie as his normal-self ;D

[OutOfThisWorldJB]

Nooo, the MOLE! :D:D lol

[ArcticBladeeX]

i laughed so much when charlie randomly appeared

[Chrispi93]

this video blew my mind..

[KayLeeSnyd]

It's funny going from cute, skinny Charlie's photo shoot to the buff models, Charile is stick-like compared to him. :P

[musictreeXYZ]

um.. is it just me or does the presenter chick have slight fangs??

[KakiHat]

Needs a larger pool of couples for the symmetry experiment.

[lydz25]

I wouldn't say that 60% is that close to the hypothesis, very close to 50/50

[Ccasspi]

charlie!!!!!!



[RainbowRubberDucks]

CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spaghetti5829]

nawww i like skinny slightly geeky charlie best :)

[1mog3n]

Charlielookssoweirdlike 

[AtlantiXYL]

I dont think law of attraction applies to me personally.

[PoisonParadiseBeauti]

Charlie's so cute!

[SmileySarahStudios]

NOT THE MOLE :@!

[Jimna26]

cHARLIEE!

[knoxtrey]

'i think you've got more of a symmetical face'... nice save bro. Someones gettting laid tonight.

[RAWRtisBecky]

CHARLIE SHIRTLESS AAAAH

[Dragon900z]

I love how the comments are all about the edited version of Charlie.

I assume most of his fangirls prefered it before?

[reallishable]

omg charlie looks so stroonnngggg and muscled :3
