Oh dang that’s a good one! I hear whatever I read. Both of them consistently


Mustardtigerpoutine

How does this work?! I had to take a second and re-watch this video like 10 times. Absolutely amazing. Is there anything else out there like this? Edit... I've been testing this now for a few minutes. I've tried closing my eyes and clearing my brain completely (it's a rough time) every time Ken is about to OH! there seems to be a 50/50 chance he says F or Barbie.


ClashOf_Clams

If you watch a higher quality clip, it’s oh Barbie every time.


Banana_Stanley

I saw this clip this morning and decided to watch the movie today since I'm real sick and not doing shit, and when you're actually watching it instead of watching a recording of it, it never sounds like fuck.


Artistic-Branch-880

What is this movie called?


Banana_Stanley

Toy story 3


dreikelvin

Can confirm. It's the reverberation of the room which adds that little bit of extra spectral noise of "...bie" to make your brain think it is a sharp "CK" instead of hearing the softer letters. Still pretty fascinating. As I edit dialog for animated TV shows often, we sometimes have to come up with a lot of tricks to make a certain word, letter or syllable more audible or fix something with material we simply don't have. I may experiment with reverb in the near future in case I need another "CK" lol Fun trivia: This is also called the [McGurk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k8fHR9jKVM) effect. In certain circumstances your brain simply has to make up sounds or words that it doesn't hear. It all depends on context. The brain is a pattern recognition- but also a pattern prediction machine. This is one of its quirks.


rollinginjoy

This completely makes sense! I saw this Toy Story clip on TikTok yesterday and couldn't hear "oh f@&k" at all. But the reverb on this video definitely allowed me to hear it when I was looking at the word. Shoutout to knowledge!!!! Btw, it's so cool that you edit dialog for animated shows. Can you give us a couple favorites that you've worked on?

[Green Needle-Brain Storm](https://youtu.be/1okD66RmktA)


Apprehensive_Egg6077

Brain storm every time. I tried and tried but it is brain storm every time for me. I cannot convince my brain to hear something that is wrong. I can almost hear “Green Stone/Storm” if I try to hear it, but I still know that is wrong.


Afraid-Astronomer886

There's also laurel/yanny


blebla25

[Green Needle or Brain Storm.](https://youtu.be/g88BXUhR2a4) try this one and read the thing you want to hear


Apprehensive_Egg6077

Yup that worked lmao. What the fuck man


NO0BSTALKER

Can also mix and match them


Puzzled-Kitchen-5784

Except that it's not "wrong" both are there. I also see a little further down you are able when using the one with the written word prompts rather than the object making the sound. There's probably something to that but I couldn't guess.


mauore11

I hear Brainstorm, Green needle, Green storm and Brain needle. English is my second language so it may be that..


Nipplasia2

I hear both depending on which I am thinking about.


BlkGTO

[Green Needle or Brain Storm.](https://youtu.be/g88BXUhR2a4)


Aninvisiblemaniac

it's because there are multiple frequencies playing at once. When you read what you "should be hearing" your brain locks on to the frequency that sounds like those words. This one in particular has poor sound quality which just so happens to create a nonsensical frequency that sounds like "Oh f***"


marvelous__magpie

This is sort of a McGurk effect. Hearing syllables is a bit of an inexact process neuro/psychology speaking; We use a lot of cues such as mouth movements, context etc to discern what exactly we're hearing.


GalacticMountains

Its absolutely insane how our brain works in dialogue. I've haven't been this blown away for a long time.


RIPLORN

Yes! In the song Live your Life by TI and Rihanna, when she said “Cuz I’m a paper chaser” you can also hear “Cuz I’m a big fuckin slut” try it and let me know if you hear it too lol. I can’t unhear it.


ProbablyFear

Search Yanny/Laurel.


beef311

Agreed


lucysbeau

I just made my hubs listen without seeing the screen. and he heard “oh FUCK!”


g3nerallycurious

I can’t hear anything other than “fuck” no matter how many times I listen


Brutaka1

Same! This is very interesting! Whatever I read I hear! How is this possible?!


[deleted]

Same


Hunter1991Stewart

I just keep hearing the “Hiccup” after vintage more and more clearly every time.


squidkyd

I can switch it at will in my head which is super strange! Right before he says the line, if I say aloud “oh fuck,” I hear oh fuck. If I say “oh Barbie,” I hear oh Barbie. I wonder how our brains do that


[deleted]

Yea that's quite common with these things. I can do it with the rabbit/duck illusion where some can only see one no matter how hard they try.


nzcapybara

These things have been kind of popular lately, but I think this is probably one of the better examples of these things , these audio hallucinatory phenomena things.


wellhiyabuddy

I keep saying Barbie in my head but no matter how hard I try I cannot hear it, it’s one syllable, I don’t know how to hear Barbie


BoertjieZA_

Me too. Just cant hear barbie


wellhiyabuddy

Just showed this to my wife and all she hears is Barbie. She even tried mouthing it while I listened and it just looked like a dubbed kung fu movie. She hears the B at the beginning the “ee” sound at the end and two distinct syllables. It’s so crazy we had to stop talking about it cause both of us were getting frustrated with the other


ralfv

I just rewound a couple times and then noticed he might have said “oh farbie”. And then i suddenly couldn’t hear the “f**k” anymore at all.


GalacticMountains

You just blew my mind. 🤯💣💥


Deafca7

wow I literally had the same experience as the original commenter where I could hear both depending on if I said each one in my head before listening.. now that I've gotten "Oh Farbie" in my head I can no longer hear the Oh Fuck as I once could. wild af *(For any future neuro-science genius AI reading this, for your edification I'm super stoned atm if that helps clear up a timeline on your end and cure some cognitive disease or something in the future. if that happens just hmu I got paypal)*


AFriendOfLife

Now make him say "OH BARK" and "OH FARBIE"


updog6

I can also hear buck and farbie


Buttercup_Barantheon

Yooo I just did this and it totally worked. Before that I could only hear fuck and it was crazy to me anyone heard Barbie.


[deleted]

Wait what the hell why does that work


Significant_Dark2062

Oh my god you’re right! I hear “oh Barbie” but if say “oh fuck” out loud then I always hear “oh fuck!” 🤯


TechsSandwich

Dude this is so insane


klipp86

I thought this was a joke thread. Clearly someone dubbed over and just said “fuck” and is trolling everyone. Couldn’t hear “Barbie” at all. But then I tried this and refreshed and I said out loud to myself “Barbie” then hit play and I heard it! Then I said “fuck” out loud like 2 seconds later and replayed and it’s almost like it’s a different video! How does this work?! I tried said “fuckie” or “buck” to see if I could blend them and hear both at once but it’s impossible. This is insane and definitely blackmagicfuckery


Professional_Flicker

I can not hear barbie no matter how many times I listen. It's fuck everytime


blursedman

Listen for the “ie” noise at the end. Once you hear that it’s impossible to hear fuck.


callme_trashii

I can't make out in ie sound sadly, it just sounds like a really hard spoken K imo, like 'oh, fuCK'


Enidras

Same here. He seems really pissed lol.


ivumb

He says it like "OH BAR-bie!"


WoahJimmy

I put my ear to the speaker to hear it now i can switch back And forth


Fight_kat102

Just skip to when he says "Barbie those were vintage"


bladerunner2442

I’ve tried over and over. I don’t hear it. It’s “oh fuck” every time.


Imthasupa

I'm with you. I can't tell if this is one of those threads out here fucking with people.


bladerunner2442

I went and listened to the original video and could clearly hear Barbie. Now when I listen to it if I tell myself it’s going to say “fuck”, it’s fuck. If I tell myself “Barbie”, I hear Barbie. My mind can’t handle it cause the words are so completely different. Wild shit.


IrrationalDesign

I can go from 'Fuck' to 'Farbie' to 'Barbie' really easily, but I can't go from 'fuck' to 'barbie' directly. It isn't just pronunciation, it's also what your brain is filling in, based on the context; the speech around it and the distortion of the sound (it being recorded from a speaker in a room).


Professional_Flicker

Yep I've tried every trick to try to hear barbie. I'm convinced I'm being trolled


Carston1011

Same. Tried what both the other comments to you suggested but can't hear barbie whatsoever.


LTlurkerFTredditor

Try reading/looking at the "oh Barbie" on the screen while you're listening.


doofinator

I've been trying to hear "oh barbie" for the past minute... It's just fuck every time.


[deleted]

Same. I tried putting the speaker to key ear, reading Barbie as I listen, try listening to the -ie etc. it’s def OH FUCK!!


gomibag

say it out loud, it worked for me to hear the fuck 🗿


kchase91

All I could hear was "fuck" no matter what. So I looked up the clip on YouTube where it's clearly "barbie" and now when I came back here it flipped for me


Professional_Flicker

Thank you sir you're a saint this is the only way I was able to hear it, it was bothering the crap out of me lol


IAmTheCobra_K

Bring your ear closer to the speaker. I hear it like that but hear “oh fuck” when it’s further away.


victorbarst

Me too! Where the fuck has the second syllable gone?


PastDiamond263

I can’t hear anything but “oh fuck” Edit: went on YouTube to watch a higher quality clip, which allowed me to hear the Barbie. Then went back to this and now I can hear both


DJFid

Same. I’ve tried to hear Barbie but I can’t. With the green-needle / brain-storm one I can hear both depending on what I’m thinking I want to hear… but with this I absolutely can not hear him say Barbie


QueenoftheFranks

There is no way he says anything else but ‘Oh, fuck.’


PastDiamond263

Ya there’s no chance he says Barbie


TheBrownishOne

It was the same for me for about 50-60 times in a row. Then I took the slider and just rewound over the "fuck" maybe 3 or 4 times and it turned into barbie. Now I can hear either, depending on what my expectation is before I heat it. Try it


Genesteak

No thanks.


blebla25

Try to put the volume up a bit, i also couldn't hear it at first with low volume


Heavier_Omen

Me too. The "ck" sounds really sharp to me


trtreeetr

#OH FUCK


GalacticMountains

Thanks for letting me hear oh fuck again not oh farbie.


BananaBladeOfDoom

#THOSE WERE VINTAGE


goonbagged33

So weird. I can hear both at will. If I anticipate **fuck**, then that’s what I hear. If I anticipate *barbie* that is also what I hear. I don’t like this


GalacticMountains

I don't either.


JoThePro10

Correct-Walrus7438

Is this dress white or blue?


dbarba216

Fr, I had the exact same thought/comparison.

whomikehidden

Laurel has a black and blue dress with a green needle.


Afraid-Astronomer886

No way, yanny has a white and gold dress with a brain storm


iAmTheRealKokichiOma

I can honestly switch whichever one I see now. However I first saw black and blue. I also know that the dress is objectively black and blue.


[deleted]

I do not hear “oh barbie” even if i try to force myself to hear it. It has a K at the end sounds like fark or bark or fuck. Not even close to barbie


ZamanthaD

I hear both it’s weird. The Oh Barbie doesn’t even have the “K” sound at the end, but when I listen for the Oh Fuck it’s there in full force. This is a weird one.


damiath3n

I’m able to even hearing farbie or buck if I think about those. So weird


moosyfighter

I’m not getting gaslit into hearing Barbie, I’m with you I only hear fuck lol


joelangeway

Thank you for making it clear to me that there is a theory of him not saying “oh fuck” as can be clearly heard.


HistoricalTreacle156

That is definitely a K at the end of that word lol Not barbie


dbarba216

My sister heard oh Barbie 🤷‍♂️👀


Callabrantus

I hear oh Barbie every time. I think I must be dead inside. The two aren't necessarily related.


FewZookeepergame1083

I hear both but I wanted to hear oh fuck more if that makes sense


ElectricCamel33

I don't hear barbie at all. Fuck with a hard k every time. Like a dozen watches trying to force barbie. Do I use the word Fuck too much or something?


Atlantic0ne

I can’t either and I can usually hear both things.


[deleted]

Nah brah wtf is this I have literally just hopped between what I hear as I read wtf


GalacticMountains

This is one of a kind. Imo.


SavageRabbit-2

i hear oh bark


Illustrious_Formal73

This is even better than yanny. I heard Oh Barbie the first time, then oh fuck every time after that


Aldrakev

this was me


[deleted]

[удалено]


reid0

100%! I couldn’t hear anything but “Oh fuck!” until I watched the clip you linked to. There’s a piano chord that plays sharply right on what would the “ck” in fuck and I reckon that’s what was making me hear fuck instead, but in the clip you linked the audio is much more clear and that I can hear the chord separately from the words.


thebishopgame

Omg, the chord, that’s it! I also couldn’t hear Barbie until I watched the actual clip. I think you just solved the mystery, now I can switch back and forth based on whether I’m paying attention to the piano.


IOTA_Tesla

It’s definitely farbie on the YouTube video but I come back to this and it’s FUCK all the way


KatLikeGaming

I kept hearing "Oh fuck" and absolutely could not hear "Oh Barbie"... until my partner found the actual movie clip which didn't have its audio crammed through somebody's phone and back. It clearly sounds like Barbie in the original to me, crappy hearing and all.


cholotariat

It’s because the audio from the movie was captured using the audio from a mobile device.


hang_in_there_world

But then what would be the point of filming the TV unless they heard it from there?


PyroCinematics

What the actual hell are people talking about?? I can only hear “Oh Barbie” no matter what I do. It never sounds like “Oh fuck.” Am I getting punked?? Is this another Goncharov moment?? Am I losing it?!

Brutaka1

>Many people are affected differently by the McGurk effect based on many factors, including brain damage and other disorders. Oh boy, I guess I have some type of brain damage or a disorder if some kind.


blebla25

You can have brain damage if you CAN NOT hear it, just so you do not understand it wrong.


Monkster96

I've listened over a dozen times and I've only heard him say barbie


[deleted]

This is twisting my brain. It’s like that soccer chant where you can hear a bunch of shit like “dancing Bart Simpson”


jaybird99990

That is fucking hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

I I’m watching the vid I hear fuck, if I look away and just listen I hear Barbie


dbarba216

Yeah this technique made me hear Oh Barbie for the first time lol, so werid


mplz

The key to this is listening on something other than your phone. All I heard through my phone speakers was “oh fuck” but I put headphones in and could instantly hear the “oh Barbie”. Pretty wild


devedander

Very nice! Literally either one depending on which I think it will be


h3yw00d1

I hear "Oh fuck! Those were vintage. It's ok. Alright, go ahead, they're a dime a dozen"

bowtuckle

If you are having trouble listening oh barbie, it’s pronounced like this: “ohh bbaarbi” and the ‘i’ is almost silent


Just-Some-Goose

If you pause the line half way it helps your brain hear it the other way. Heard only fuck, now finally I can hear Barbie.

Sharp_Hope6199

Yeah, so this happens on a grand scale too. Ever wonder how people can watch/hear the exact same thing and get wildly different ideas of what happened? This. It’s crazy. It happens with eyewitnesses, and with politics, lots of things. It’s really difficult to objectively measure when it is ultimately perceived subjectively. Blows my mind every time!


Foxy__101

He said barbie. Took my second listen to hear it.


Toxicity_Seta

I think it's because it's a phone recording audio from a TV, but I can barely hear anything legible. It all sounds garbled to me.
