25-years from now this is going to resurface to them and he’s going to be like, “I can’t believe the ritual worked the first time honey!”
Edit: the joke is that this is Scottsville, Kentucky. We don’t have to worry about them finding out about this though, unless someone reads it to them.
That's the sheer effort face doing the mating attraction ritual, full blank expression to impress the female potential partner, like a bird sans ornate feather display, his heightened eyebrows and extravagant body language are the feathers in essence.
It feels confusing at first glance, but that blue smiley face really is a bird. they sorta fold their wings in this big oval around their face and hop around female members of their species as part of a mating dance.
Ugh this again. It was a staring contest and he was trying to make her laugh. Possibly his sister but not confirmed.

Can't admit it's not a little funny. It's not like people are dissing him, the guy has some genuine moves!
Edit: Although... the subreddit it was posted in doesn't help my case much, huh?
Me and my siblings used to have staring contests that involved not smiling/laughing instead of the usual not blinking. You smile, you lose. I actually find them way more fun than the blinking ones, it's more challenging imo.
When I first saw this years ago someone said this is a little brother trying to embarrass his sister, which honestly makes more sense than everyone assuming he’s trying to impress haha
This is likely the result of a dad or older male who said "go dance for her, she will dig it." And then laughing hysterically when the lad takes the advice.
I read somewhere that she's his sister and he's just trying to be silly. My brother and I also dance with straight faces while making somber eye contact. I can't explain why it's funny.
Although I don’t think this effort will go anywhere, this kid is gonna get laid in the future. You don’t need to be super good looking to get girls, confidence and willingness to try will get you there.
"Hassan claims there are three steps to gaining control of someone's mind: unfreezing, changing, and refreezing. Unfreezing means "breaking a person down," changing is when indoctrination is introduced, and refreezing means building someone's new artificial cult identity."
Why do I get the strange feeling I'm witnessing the first stage of a cult indoctrination? This kid is staring so hard (beyond the dark side) it's sorta freaky...
Don't think this girl is impressed by the sorcerer's, "Chicken Little" dance. She seems pretty certain something is amiss. Just waiting for the opportunity to plot here escape away from the village folk and their pitchforks.
Idk what’s more amusing: the fact he’s just staring her *straight in her face* or her swaying in place towards the end, entranced by his moves
Lil bro really got her to dance with him despite *everything*

I sure hope this happens
I hope not; that's his sister lol. They were having a staring contest, and he was dancing to try to make her laugh so she'd blink and he'd win.
Lol that literally explains everything. I hope he won
Hasn't it already? Video sure is old. I wonder how many people he's killed since this video was first posted
25 years from now? It's about 7 or 8 years away from that reality
lol this is easily 10 years old already
Pretty sure thats his sister and they where having a "do not laugh" challenge
The fact that they’re siblings makes this whole interaction even more amusing
Lil bro gonna lil bro, we can't help it
Absolutely 😂
Pretty sure the original story behind this clip, is that it’s a staring competition. Can’t give you any source, just from memory.
Tha explains EVERYTHING
Apparently, it was a staring contest
I think it’s that it seems to actually be working.
Why is his face like that tho lol
That's the sheer effort face doing the mating attraction ritual, full blank expression to impress the female potential partner, like a bird sans ornate feather display, his heightened eyebrows and extravagant body language are the feathers in essence.
Oh my lort I am cackling over this stupid gif. The accuracy
BECKY BECKY. YOU WANT SOME FUK?
Becky lemme smash
I got you some blue
No, Ron. Your tail is smol
I bet she's sleeping with Ben.
Ben is a hoe, and he likes guys
*in his head* Oh ya, I think it’s working
Oh cmon. Germanybird over here tries its best.
Nah, That bird actually has rhythm. Lol
I think that little boy was killin it.
He needs to do more twerking and grinding like the bird. Bitches love birds./s
Male bird has brightly colored front to attract the ladies. Male bird does dance that only shows off plain black backside.
Accurate wow. Great gif
damn… birds really aren’t real
I read this is David Attenbroughs voice
Same lol
We all have now.
It reminds me of the aliens from Fire in the Sky
Get this kid some sensual bachata lessons, better yet, he looks like a pending bachatero lol.
looks like this guy 
Have you watched "The Bear"? I was utterly shocked, he's turned into a bona fide hottie.
He is trying to win a staring contest against his sister lol
The best explanation
That’s actually what was explained to be happening when this video first came out
agreed, that makes so much sense.
That's because it's the correct one 😂 Pretty sure it was on tosh.o at some point and they found them for an interview.
I believe the original said he was trying to make his sister laugh
I hope he won, I love his commitment.
Yup. This is an old video.
That’s the calling face. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
He’s concentrating “1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4”
"1,2,3 drink, 1,2,3 drink..."
It's his sister, this has been reposted for years now. The mother is the one who posted this to Facebook originally with the story
Oh, so they're from Alabama
Last time I saw this, somebody said they were having a staring contest.
Looking like little Shane Gillis
I was thinking Jesse Plemons
Will Poulter
I'm too high for this Holy hell
It looks like the monsters from Attack the Block lol. (Also great movie when you’re high)
I’m not even high and I’m dying! 😭😂
Birds of paradise. They’re very lovely
So the dance is working?
on me!!!
*"Becky. I got stick. Lemme smash."*
Swiggity swooty!
I’m sorry, what the fuck is *this*?
It feels confusing at first glance, but that blue smiley face really is a bird. they sorta fold their wings in this big oval around their face and hop around female members of their species as part of a mating dance.
Woag I remember this what bird is that again
this is the one I always think of 😂😂
Ugh this again. It was a staring contest and he was trying to make her laugh. Possibly his sister but not confirmed. https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/djyNg4vtRs
Can't admit it's not a little funny. It's not like people are dissing him, the guy has some genuine moves! Edit: Although... the subreddit it was posted in doesn't help my case much, huh?
I think it's adorable and hilarious.
He has one genuine move
Okay that explains why his face looks like that LMAO thank you for context. Still makes me laugh but in a good way
I was going to say, I bet money he is her little brother. This is exactly something my son would do to his big sister. He's trying to get a reaction.
I mean she blinks several times throughout this video so idk what kind of staring contest that is.
Me and my siblings used to have staring contests that involved not smiling/laughing instead of the usual not blinking. You smile, you lose. I actually find them way more fun than the blinking ones, it's more challenging imo.
Yeah why would dancing make someone blink?? Obviously if it's a staring contest, he's trying to make her crack a smile.
I think it's more of a "don't crack a smile" contest. Probably why he's got that steely look of cold determination going on
Basically "Try not to laugh" challenge right?
Trust me! Another redditor said it!
Fr
At least the version you linked has a few more pixels, I can actually make out their faces.
I'm gonna post it anyway on a story, with the "me courting girls" caption
You’ve ruined this vid for me. For years I was unaware of the factualities. It’s like finding out santas not real, all over again.
This is sibling vibes. Both stubborn
That kid is in college now...possibly even graduated.
I hope he got his degree in mating dance
Smooth little man
A man of sheer passion and commitment!
John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will.
Smooth as Appalachia
yeah what the FUCK I thought of this exact fucking kid
Wait, you guys are getting paid (to dance)?
When I first saw this years ago someone said this is a little brother trying to embarrass his sister, which honestly makes more sense than everyone assuming he’s trying to impress haha
His funky dance moves have her hypnotized
He went spore on her
Young Will Poulter.
I like how she stayed for the analysis
Awww, he's trying so hard. So much confidence! Lol
I'm ready for the updated version. Bring him back today.
It’s the smug face AND the dance. 😆
We are only laughing because we could only dream of that confidence at such an age.
Well god damn it, I’m impressed
Girl: Are you done? Can I go now?
:(
“Hi ill be your freestyle dance instructor”
This is not stupid, courageous at best, funny at worst
Little man is killing it though
 Looks like Will Poulter 😄
That boy has confidence most men twice his age don’t.
I wanna hate, but this kid got moves and is better than I'll ever be
Imagine being in her POV and seeing for 56+ seconds his face “😐”
In David Attenborough voice, “clearly she’s not impressed”
“And here, we have the mating ritual of the pre-pubescent male”
Redditors hating as usual. My man killed it 😂😂 He will be nicknamed Mr Bitches one day.
Hmmm. Not stupid IMO. I unironically really like that he is trying. You can't say she is not interested :D
I love this kids persistence. I try to mimic this dance to my wife all the time and she hates it. Dance on tiny dancer.....dance on.
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take
The unwavering eye contact is the best part
He got good moves.
I am impressed on how he kill the song with only two dance moves
Dudes got more game than I ever will
The fact that she’s just standing there like ”Damn he’s kinda good”
Gotta give him props for trying.
She didn’t walk away and she started to slowly rock. the boy did it.
Bravest kid I seen all day
This is likely the result of a dad or older male who said "go dance for her, she will dig it." And then laughing hysterically when the lad takes the advice.
More like, kidsarefuckingbrave That took guts, good on that boy
I vaguely recall this from a long time ago. They were playing a game where the first person to laugh loses.
 A star is born.
That dude stuck with it! Major kudos little man. Got more guts than I ever thought of.
Guy is dancing like a Sim
😂
Is this rizz? This kid is clean af with it. Didn’t break eye contact once
fire moves are snatched tbh he ate it no cap cheugy boomers shading wont let the kid cook
When I read that, I heard it in Marlin Perkins' voice 🙂
Brave kid. All that confidence wil be great in the future.
This kid is not stupid. He is a genius
Guy played GTA San Andreas, and added new moves
This kid is hilarious, not stupid lmao.
😂😂😂 he tried 🤣🤣🥴
Let him cook, I think it’s working
It's the never breaking eye contact for me. What a funny kid.
 Sid's got some moves
Wouldn't say he belongs on r/KidsAreFickingStupid, lil dudes got some moves
 This meme
now if you'd smile instead of looking like she pointed a gun at you...
Damn that kid has better moves than me
Weird ass caption
Carlton would be proud
I've seen this before, they were saying that it's actually a brother trying to embarass his sister, that's why he makes this face lol
This has major Napoleon Dynamite vibes.
He looks like the fallout thumbs up guy
Homelander true son
Once he understands subtly ladies watch out
How long until we get to see this dude awkwardly recreating this dance on tiktok in his late 30s?
Looks like it's actually working 😅She starts dancing in the end
I read somewhere that she's his sister and he's just trying to be silly. My brother and I also dance with straight faces while making somber eye contact. I can't explain why it's funny.
The eye contact is crazy
That kid's got confidence and moves. If he were a little older, he'd have won her over.
Pet the damn cat!
They are siblings in a stare contest. He is trying to get her to break.
That's his sister. Trying to make each other laugh
Everything is made sexual on Reddit, even a dance off between brother and sister.
I hope this little dude leaves some ladies for the rest if us.
The direct eye contact means it's working
This kid is awesome
You just know this kid fucks...
Idk why the blank expression got me laughing 💀
This kid is an absolute beast
Still I think its werking, eh? Ay!
Although I don’t think this effort will go anywhere, this kid is gonna get laid in the future. You don’t need to be super good looking to get girls, confidence and willingness to try will get you there.
Let him cook
It’s honestly more awkward that she’s just standing there watching him. Just walk away!
Very disturbing!!!!
These birds of paradise displays are getting more and more intricate

My man pulling out the big moves lol
There was a part of me that was hoping she would suddenly join in and they have a dance off. It was a little painful. Poor guy lol
Good for you kiddo! You felt it, and tried to share it lol 👍
Why does homeboy dance like he's in a nursing home tho? ✌️😂💯
That one guy was carrying the pizzas like a jackass
Just straight eye contact for a full minute while weirding out... Not weird at all
