GMMore 1993: Ultimate Body Language Challenge

(rooster crow and roar) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re gonna explore some body language cues, and see if we can decipher what people are feeling. – But first we’re going to communicate a random disturbing fact. About 17 milliliters of human blood can substitute for an egg in baking. Oh my god. – Eh. Somebody figured this out? – Eggs and blood. – They have very similar protein components. Scientists tested this theory about substituting eggs for blood when baking cakes. I think that should be substituting blood for eggs. – Pancakes. Pancakes. – When baking pancakes. – You can put blood in your pancakes? – Eh. – Blood does not taste good. We’ve established this. – Human blood. – You know human blood’s gotta be trash, man. – Why would they be, why would they be investigating that? Because scientists need to know stuff. – Well, cause vampire’s gotta be eating at diners too. – All right, so we each have cards, and basically we’re gonna play charades with body language. – But we’re using the body language that is demonstrated on these cards and not diverting from it, – Only. – to see if what the body language experts have determined to be the way to communicate these emotions is actually, you know, works. So this is the kind of thing that like, if you are in a foreign country, and you don’t have a cool translator app, and you need to communicate these things. – Speaking louder and slower does not do it. – Right. – That’s just insulting. – You want to go first? – Okay. – I’m sorry for you. – I mean, I would move to something else, but this is all I got, so. – I’m shy. – Shy, yeah, shy. And if I could have like two little, two little beep beeps coming from off the top of my head I would. I don’t know exactly what those are, but. – What? – See, they have like droplets coming off of my head. It’s arms crossed over the crotch, head down, shy. – Okay. – Or I just got hit in the nuts, but not hard enough to go to my knees. – This is gonna be a difficult one. I’m just gonna go ahead and say that from the top. – Okay. Let me get your crotch in the shot. Look at that onesie. Man, if we, well I think you need, if you had a white belt to put on with that, I mean, you could wear that out. – [Rhett] Well you know what, I got some paper towels. – Well that’s not enough paper towels. Oh, that’s nice. I could get it. – I’m gona wear this out. – Put. (laughter) – You’ve convinced me, Link. – Yeah, I’m serious. You get a white belt, just, like a woven belt. – And then like, you know what? I want my belt to be thinner, boom. Whoop. You get the idea. – I mean, I’ve, I’ve secretly wanted to wear – It could also be a tie. – a onesie out because, you know, Christy and her friends, including Jessie, they wear, they wear onesies. – They wear lots of jumpsuits. – Jumpsuits is what they’re called, yeah. – Oh, oh, okay, well. It’s one of the old school ties. – Well don’t use a paper towel. All right, go back to the game here. A fishermen, caught a big fish. Bragging. Embellishing. – Exaggerating. – Exaggerating. – Yeah. – But, but, but what about that? I mean, you were literally pantomiming you’ve caught a big fish. Is that what it is? – Yes, it is this big. – Exaggerate. – Exaggerate. That is the official symbol – So like, if you do it, – for exaggeration. – If you do anything big, like this. All right, let’s see. – What else could I do with this? – What mine is. All right, I can. – I might be injured, I might be a karate structure, instructure. Karate structure. – A karate structure. Here’s something to get. – I am a karate structure. – I mean, one there and one around the waist, that does it, man. – Yeah, but I don’t want to waste too many paper towels. – Especially with the Mythical Society insignia? – You know me. – Okay. I’m gonna put that there so I can look at it. – Judging. – I’m trying not to do the facial expression, because it’s body language. So I’m trying not to give you anything in the face. – I won’t. Here, put a paper towel over your face. I don’t want to even see it. Paper towels. You know what, really the subtext of this Good Mythical More is paper towels have all kinds of uses. – I think this is what we should do every round. We should do this, and then we should shove this, and then we should do that. – Whoa, you’ve just invented like a, you’re like a background dancer for Lady Gaga. – How’s that, pretty good? – Yeah. Arms folded, so this is a closed emotion. I kinda feel like this might be indifference. No, this is confused. – That’s it, confused. – The head tilt did it. – Now here. Now you read your thing. – Let me get my own paper towels. I don’t want to waste, you know me, but. – Well then that would be using mine. You have to look at it first, – I gotta read it first. – you moron. I’m worn out after that. After that cuddling exercise. – I’m sorry, you’re getting, you’re getting all the hard ones. This one doesn’t even really make sense to me. – [Stevie] When we go on our camping trip, – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Stevie] we can get, for you too we can get two… Oh, my mic! – We lost your mic. Not gonna happen. – [Stevie] Hello? Oh. We can get two sleeping bags that zip together. – Shove it in under your chin. – [Stevie] So it makes one big sleeping bag. I’ve seen those, they exist. – And then, yeah I have them, and then. – [Rhett] And who’s in that? – [Stevie] You too. – [Rhett] Oh. – [Stevie] And then you can practice the cuddling positions that you’ve learned in the cuddling episodes. – Without you watching. – [Rhett] And almost make out. – [Stevie] Oh no, I’m watching. – But it’s just a bag moving. – [Stevie] I mean, yes? – Push in the left side of your, left bottom. Yeah, there you go. All right, perfect. All right. Look at this. Skeptical. – [Rhett] Mm mm. – Proud. – [Rhett] Hey yeah, arrogant. – Arrogant. – I mean, I’m giving it to you when you get close. – Yeah. – Something about that cuddling has made me voraciously hungry. Like I could, I could eat a horse. – I’m, just pay no mind to the – Ring, IKEA, remember that? – To the paper towel. I’ve just got it in, (laughter) I got it in place because, you know, I want to be ready for anything. – Okay. – I’ma, I… This involves. – You gotta reference it? – Yeah. This, this involves some… I think I’m gonna need, I gotta elevate myself. I’m gonna need your chair. So you… – [Rhett] Where do I need to get? – You just need to take a knee over here. Just take a knee right here. – Take a knee? – Yeah, because I want, I want, I gotta be able to… Of course, then I got to do this. – Yeah, I can’t see your face. Yeah. – [Link] Because the face will give this away. – Yeah. – And… – Good thing I won’t be able to see it. Won’t be able to see his face, he’s got a paper towel over it. Could you put your glasses on the outside of the paper tower? Tower? I’m having a difficult time speaking today. Oh yeah, there you go. That’s a cool thing. – [Link] So now… I got it. Okay, now I can’t see anything. – You’re saying this wouldn’t typically be elevated, but you’re doing it for the sake of all of us. – [Link] Yeah, yeah, yeah, for the people. – Scared. You seem scared. Anxious. I mean, ready for anything. You seem ready for anything. – [Link] Ready for something. – Ducking. You’re just ducking. – [Link] I’ll give you a hint, I’m not a human. – Bracing for impact. Oh, but we’re a dog. – [Link] What’s the body language? – A cat ready to pounce. – [Link] Yes, what is that word? – Scaredy cat. – [Link] Ready to pounce? – Triple threat position. – [Link] Okay, closer. – Threatened. – [Link] No. – Unsafe. – Not defensive, offensive. – Predatory. – Okay. – About to attack. – [Link] Yes, another word? – Aggressive. – Yes! Aggressive. – [Rhett] You see us? – [Link] Aggressive. – [Rhett] We know about body language around here. – Aggressive. Oh, you were over there. – Um. – We know about body language. – Yeah, see, they gave me a frigging, gave me a frigging dog to do. – So, are you telling me that if you’re in a foreign country, and you need to, you need to be like, there was an aggressive man, there’s an aggressive man around the corner, you gotta get at it – Down on it. like a cat? – No, the aggressive man would be down on all fours. Your turn. – But, you’re communicating this with body language. – You would know, you would know the man was aggressive because he would be down on all fours, ready to pounce. – Okay. – I’m gonna need both chairs, and you’re gonna need to take a knee. – Really? – Yeah. – This is gonna, I mean the danger, the danger here. – [Rhett] Yeah, especially when you can’t see. – Okay. – [Rhett] All right, I think I got it from here. – I gotta take a knee, huh? You gotta shove, you gotta shove that in down there. – Well, can you – There’s a way this works, man. – [Rhett] Can you not, you can’t see it though? – No, but, there you go. – [Rhett] Here we go. – What? Cowering. Afraid. – [Rhett] No. – Ah, getting comfy. – [Rhett] No, I’m not a person. – Happy, submissive. – Yeah, more, More specific. – Submissive. – Nope. – Jovial. – [Rhett] I want to do something. – Playful. – Yeah, playful! I wanna be playful. – I wanna play, wanna play. Play, you wanna play. Okay, I wanna play. All right. Okay, this one is. – [Rhett] Are you learning anything? – This one is a facial expression. So I don’t know how this is gonna work with paper towel on my face. So I’m just gonna do this. I’m gonna do it at the camera, you can look down there. – When we go on our camping trip, we can’t speak. We have to communicate with these body languages. Just, new stipulation I’ve just added. Oh, are you doing one? – I’m doing one. We’re just gonna be wearing paper towels on our face? Not speaking? – Yeah. – Paper towels are flammable. You start make a campfire, it’s whoo. – We’ll use aluminum foil. – On our faces. – Yeah, and then we’ll wrap meat, meat in them. – Meat. We’ll wrap meat in them. – And cook it in the fire on the coals. – Uh, okay. – Do it again? Mad, skeptical. Why you got one eye open? Is that part of it? – I’m looking at it, yeah. I mean, I’ll take my glasses off. – Suspicious. – I mean, if I were making this face it would be like this, but you know me and my faces. I’ve been told I… – Well what would you do? Disgusted. – Yeah, but that’s, what this guy is just doing is this. – That guy’s an idiot. – But like this is disgusted. – That guy’s not going on the camping trip. We don’t take idiots on the camping trip. – All right, now I’m done with mine. You got another one? – That’s pretty much the only rule. Well, the first rule is- – But hold on, look at this. Look at this freaking towel. Not only do we have onesies for the Mythical Society, we’ve got towels. – Now is that a beach towel? – This is a, no this is a kitchen towel. This is a Mythical Kitchen hand towel. I love a good hand towel. – You gotta have a good hand towel. – It’s good for drying, good for dabbing. – But as a joke, – Get it at mythical.com – as a joke beach towel. – Feel like Josh. – Like if you take your family to the beach, and then the youngest one, like everybody gets a towel, and then you give the youngest one, you give that one to them once they get out of the water at the beach. – [Link] Yeah. – That’ll be, that’s a funny joke. It’s a funny dad joke. – I love the drape-ableness of it. See how drape-able it is? – So rule number one on the, on the camping trip that Stevie’s coming along with is Stevie’s gotta watch us to see if we make out. Rule number two is no speaking, only body language. – Rule number three, aluminum foil, constantly over our faces. – This guy, who’s the same guy who made your face, – Okay? – he’s not allowed on the camping trip, because rule number three is no idiots. – No idiots. How are we gonna be there? No additional, – No idiots besides us. – No additional idiots. – No idiots besides us. – All right, do you have a face to make? Is that what he did, or what you would do? – This is what he’s doing. He’s an idiot though, keep that in mind. Translate this through the idiot filter. – Ah, in pain. Like, like distraught. Smells something bad. I lost all my teeth. I don’t see your teeth at all when you do that. – Okay, I’ll do this. – That’s what you would do? – Uh huh. – Petrified. – Yeah, scared. – Oh. – I mean this guy’s like. – What a moron. – Yeah. Hey, somebody, somebody, – No he’s more like. He’s like this. – No, he, – Fear. – he looks like he’s in pain. – Fear. – He’s not coming on the camping trip, I don’t care how many, how convinced you are. – Okay. Which one was your favorite, Stevie? – How about, maybe he’s, maybe he can run a camera. – You like fear? – Oh me? Yeah. – Cause I don’t want, – [Stevie] I like all of them. I can’t choose a favorite. – Cause I don’t want, I don’t want any of us to run a camera. There’s too many things to think about. We need a camera person. So that guy can come. – On the camping trip? – Even if he’s an idiot. – All right, you’re invited, you doofus.
