an epiphany from a yank
I was watching this very show yesterday. It took a solid 15 seconds for my receiver to power on so I experienced both hosts facial expressions with zero sound and it hit me that we might have different cultural facial accents.
I was experiencing his excitement as anger as his eye brows we very intense and focused.
and cherry's as a passive aggressive empathy mixed with an appology.
For her the top of her forehead scrunches up when she's delivering information with the facial tone of "OMG that's a very small penis and that's not a problem at all" even though it's totally a problem and she is definitely going to tell all her friends about this.
Now to be fair I had been microdosing mushrooms so I was in an especially open and sensitive state of mind but I'm pretty sure I landed on an interesting cultural difference here.
Obviously it should be said I am aware this is not what they are communicating just like the Indian head wiggle looks like abject confusion when it isn't or the Thai wai feels uncomfortably subservient when it's not mean that way to the uninformed.
I'm curious if you brits take certain american facial expressions in a different way then they are meant.
