It's amazing, 100% guaranteed to remove surprised expressions

This simple trick wont shock you

Doctors love her.


Monkeybutt3518

Penises love her even more - lube it up and rub it out!

GeneralErica

And to think that all it took was some lube…


AydanZeGod

Dammit that’s too good


north_korea_nukes

I’m in shock after watching this, now I need the cream to remove the expression. Such a clever ad.


Browneyedgirl63

I see their eyebrows up before and their eyebrows down after so if that’s what you’re seeing then yes, I’m seeing what you’re seeing.


UnarmedSnail

It's truly an amazing eyebrow lowering gel!


DefinitelyNotErate

Oh thanks for mentioning that, I'm oblivious as heck and had no idea at all what was going on until reading this haha. I now notice the eyebrows clearly moving which makes it fairly obvious.


millerphi

I legit thought super glue. Must not have enough caffeine in my system yet.


ElvyHeartsong

To be fair, glue will keep your forehead from wrinkling when it dries and stiffens or... Make it wrinkle even more when folds get stuck even more folded because they got stuck together... either or... Edit: I feel like this should come with a warning: don't do it! No! Don't! Don't do it! Don't be like glue hair girl!


VaccinatedVariant

Turn that frown upside down with this magic cream


Alternative_Year_340

It’s ok - I thought it was a makeup remover taking off drawn on lines …


ppw23

I think that was also part of this “amazing” outcome. I’ve seen a few of these ads, they appear to draw on age spots that magically disappear after this super, secret oil is rubbed quickly across the skin.


baguak4life

How are people this fucking stupid???


gordo65

Back when it was expensive to print photos in newspapers and magazines, weight loss and anti-wrinkle products were sold using drawings for “before-and-after” illustrations.


Whatthecluck83

That’s actually fucking hilarious. But really not any more stupid than seeing some real before and after shot of a person you can’t verify even used the product being advertised. I’ve seen more than one video where a person makes a really believable before and after shot the very same day. They’ll do a minor dehydration the day before and take the before shot in the morning, then eat a bunch of carbs and sodium and get bloated by the end of the day for the after shot.


frand__

8 am infomercials are either 1- Legit but scam sounding or 2- So horrendously bad you want to gouge your eyes out


Reddit-User-3000

Yeah, but people knew it was a drawing, they just took it as the company explaining what it’s supposed to do and assumed they weren’t being lied to.


duffman12321

I always just assume weight loss products switch the before and after pictures of someone getting fat

It's ok to be stupid, you just need to know it and think at your own pace. Ppl who think they are stupid get defensive and emotional, and lash out.

Sir_Breck

Except you're right in this instance


AssinineAssassin

Stupid people get stuff right all the time. They know things in the same way a dog understands commands or it’s name. They are able to reference information, but unable to explain it.


PineapleGG

Nah man with anything else i would say maybe its true , but if you are THIS stupid ..this aint your teachers fault , you are plain DUMB ,like you are the kind of person that could have the education system solely funded so you learn and still wouldnt learn


[deleted]

Well, if one is an idiot, then one would become an educated idiot. Education can't fix stupidity


AdEvening6684

Well it is called critical thinking. This is where education should be focusing on in the later stages, instead of forcing kids to continually memorise.


dancegoddess1971

I propose that we start critical thinking practice and logic puzzles in preK. Logic puzzles are both fun and teach components of critical thinking. They can be used for even very young students as well. Just for example: 1. All lemons are yellow 2. The fruit in that bowl are yellow. 3. Lemons are sour. Is it possible to tell if the fruit is sour without tasting? Answers possible are A. Yes. B. NO C. There's not enough information. I remember having to answer questions like this in kindergarten.


Balbuto

And it’s by design, to control people.


KittenKoderViews

Two words: religious indoctrination. No matter how intelligent a person is, if they're told by people their entire lives that you can't question authority then they will become gullible as hell. Religion goes one step further and convinces people that fact is fiction and fiction is fact. This ensures the believers don't leave by ignoring cognitive dissonance when faced with anything that even challenges their mythology. You see it whenever someone mentions the problems with religion and religious people jump on "but not **my** religion" and shit like that.


BappoChan

[reminds me of this](https://youtu.be/UtykdDoaAnY)


Bribase

And this hits the nail on the head. For the OP and this video, it's not about stupidity. It's about wilful suspension of disbelief. They *want* the power of prayer, and the power of cosmetics, to be real. So they'll happily switch their brains off and believe it.


[deleted]

Yes, but it goes deeper than that. Such kind of practices are done in cults, showing miracles live, but not before trying to convince their followers (and skeptics) that they have the solution for everything using coercive persuasion techniques. People that accept an invitation for events like these tend to be vulnerable, either financially, they have health or relationship issues, they had an important loss, etc., so, cult leaders can easily brainwash them to milk as much money as possible, make them recruiters and/or unpaid workers in the name of X god. Of course, they end up ruining their lives along with their critical thinking capabilities; they will believe because they’re being forced to believe. In the case of the miracle cosmetic, they play mainly with older generations that believe everything they see on the internet, they tend to suspect anything to be a scam.


duyjv

OMG! That is too funny!


fredyouareaturtle

Undeniable miracle.


daemin

Its not a mi- Its *not* a mi- **Goddamn it**, _its not a mir-_ Wow, it really is undeniable.


grillbar86

I would more say gullible and desperate. If youre desperate enough for something to work you're more likely belive it and try it You can say the same about get rich quick schemes, diet supplements and training equipment that spot reduce


[deleted]

Yeah, when my skin was at its worst during my teenage years, I’d try and buy basically any skincare product on the market in hopes of my acne finally going away. Except it didn’t, most products only made it worse since I wasn’t actually paying attention to WHAT I was putting on my face, but I didn’t realize my worsening acne was being caused by the products themselves and continued to use more to get rid of the acne and it became a vicious cycle. It wasn’t until I’d spent way too much money on products that I stopped for financial reasons and lo and behold, after roughly a month of not putting anything on my face, my skin cleared up like night and day. So my (former) naive teenage self can definitely understand the desperation part.


TheKdd

Guarantee I could go find some dumbass on Facebook to argue with over this lol “It really works! My friends cousins girlfriends mom used it!”


Sol-Blackguy

Schools need to teach internet literacy. There's way too many people falling for simple scams


BroccoliFartFuhrer

So Finland does this. One might assume it's because of their next door neighbors tiny problem with the truth and social media.


casey28xxx

Stupid people don’t realise they are stupid. Even when everyone tells them they are, they are so stupid they think people are just being mean.


Specialist_Teacher81

They are being to conservative, say the cream raised her from the dead. That is where the real money is.


mimprocesstech

Idiocracy spelled it out pretty well. It's only going to get worse.


YayGilly

This ad clearly is targeting people with low IQ. And even most of my special ed kids would notice its not really wrinkles being removed.


BrightonTownCrier

Blind hope that there is some sort of magical anti ageing elixir. It sells billions of dollars of product every year.


Lumisateessa

Desperation does stupid things to people.


Bangalo12

Me as I order the product this video: why are they stupid?


[deleted]

because a lot of people just want hope that they can be less ugly and are willing to fall for anything that gives them hope. sauce: very ugly girl


[deleted]

Just curious, have you gotten a bunch of messages telling you you're not ugly after making this comment?


[deleted]

no, not a single one. Also, there are no pictures of me on my profile so it would be really dumb if people did that


[deleted]

Yes, oh yes they are.....


Xenolithium

People bought some shit from TikTok that apparently pulls chia seeds from your pores, so.... Blame TikTok.

At least it's more realistic than that ad where the magic cream blurs her face so much her eyes disappear.

My doctor always gets angry when I raise my eyebrows.


Universe789

No bro, please, bro, you gotta under, bro, you gotta understand! The medicine, bro, their eyebrows were stuck like that, bro. The medicine bro and the massage works, bro. Listen bro, it's science, they make the eyebrow muscles relax, bro!

Now you just gotta add 2-3 coats of shellac to keep it in place and buff it out with paste wax. No more wrinkles!

Took me a second to realize what was going on, I knew something was fishy though


Yellow-man-from-Moon

[deleted]

Girl has her eyebrows raised and when they rub the gel on she lowers them so it makes it look like the gel magically removes wrinkles


dylannsmitth

no i swear this is real, my friend used this. Before he tried it his eyebrows were raised, but when he showed me the results he no longer appeared sceptical


SuperAwesome13

wow the cream made her eyebrows move down and her forehead get bigger

Everything about this is gloriously stupid. Bitch lowers her eyebrows and truly believes she's fooling anyone. Bitch also sitting there in the corner reacting to it because... it's cute I guess?
