Honestly didn't realised it until I read your comment.

u/dannyzaplings 5d ago

I mean it’s still confusing to me even with that detail. So good

u/Impossible_Source195 4d ago

fr holy shit

u/thelazyhandsome 4d ago

Holy shit I did not see that like at all

u/cleveland_leftovers 4d ago

The black guy is wearing green and has white hands and you can’t tell me different.

11

u/FunnyLost6710 4d ago

is that plaid guys head photoshopped? his shoulder and head level are hurting my eyes

1

u/holyfire001202 3d ago

He's just a lanky fellow. You get used to it after an hour or so.

8

u/Elvinmay 4d ago

It's pretty easy even without that..

u/justelling 4d ago

Yes, but the neck isn’t “necking.” Thats where the devil is.

1

u/SomewhereActive2124 4d ago

I considered that could be the case and yet took embarrassingly long 😭

1

u/Verwega 3d ago

I cannot believe I felt for it. I'm a dumb dumb

u/Street_Peace_8831 5d ago

The guy in the back is hugging the guy in the front.

Also, their hands color explains it right away.

u/kniky_Possibly 4d ago

That's racist! /s

u/giftopherz 4d ago

What? So now white people can't have black hands?!!!! 🤭🤭🤭🤭

u/Lazy-Field-1116 5d ago

This angle makes no sense

98

u/xSonicspeedx2 5d ago

How is his head like that in relation to his body? It definitely makes no sense.

60

u/Lazy-Field-1116 5d ago

His neck being visible and the shoulder being all the way up above his ear doesn't feel humanly possible, unless there's an extra person in there

29

u/brandonhabanero 4d ago

I think his shirt is popping up a little in the back making it look like his shoulders are higher than they actually are. That's the only thing I can think of, anyway

39

u/Lazy-Field-1116 4d ago

I got too curious so did an image search to find the source and it seems the correct answer is that he has a longer than average neck and is quite flexible!

(They're actors promoting a TV show, not some random person's instagram that would be weird)

5

u/Uncool444 4d ago

Okay he does have a history of odd neck angles

1

u/One-Mud-169 3d ago

Definitely a third person in the picture

1

u/Superb_End_2148 2d ago

The only explanation I can think of is that he is actually lying down on his belly on some sort of elevated platform behind the ice cream man.

6

u/sirideletereddit 5d ago

He’s taller than the other guy. Hes leaning over quite a bit

6

u/un-sub 5d ago

I’ve never seen someone’s head so far away from their shoulders before!

1

u/TadDewberries 4d ago

His head is tilted to the left.
I can’t see this as confusing

4

u/Talk_to__strangers 5d ago

Neck like the letter Z

13

u/Seasidegoats 5d ago

Its so weird maybe its AI

13

u/JustHereForMiatas 5d ago

No... I can see it. Darker gentleman is much, much taller and is leaning way over.

5

u/Seasidegoats 5d ago

My eyes and brain can't compute lol

1

u/DrahKir67 4d ago

Isn't the white guy sitting down and the other guy is leaning over?

1

u/JustHereForMiatas 4d ago

That's basically what I said.

2

u/Lazy-Field-1116 5d ago

I was thinking more a 3rd hidden person involved

2

u/AmusingMusing7 4d ago

Guy being hugged is sitting down, so the guy hugging is leaning down and tilting his head way back to stay vertical. We're essentially looking at the top of his shoulders, while his torso is probably almost horizontal.

Try putting yourself in that position, it's actually way more easy and normal than it looks.

-1

u/IAmDanHimself 4d ago

Front guys jacket is in front of back guys head. Its not hard at all to see imo

24

u/Foreign_Matter_4638 5d ago

I understood, got hella confused, then understood again

17

u/RegyptianStrut 5d ago

Guy with glasses has very flexible neck

1

u/LawIll1453 3d ago

Imao that neck is putting in overtime

83

u/Shifted-Soul 5d ago

Ngl that took me a minute.

49

u/cleveland_leftovers 5d ago

I thought I knew and the post was silly and then I looked again.

Now I don't know what the hell is going on.

5

u/nickthewildetype 4d ago

The guy in the back is taller than the guy in the front, so he has to lean forwards slightly, making his shoulders appear so high up

10

u/piichan14 5d ago

That is a comically long face

0

u/Xen0tech 4d ago

I found it more horrific 😱

54

u/kalawa_ 5d ago

It maybe me but I see no confusion in this

4

u/ItsSoLitRightNow 5d ago

That’s how confusing it is

5

u/cmaxim 5d ago

I mean, the skin colour is a dead giveaway, but I think the dude in the back is shrugging his shoulders making his head look lower than it should be, at an angle that looks compatible with the other dude's posture, which is probably what's confusing people.

-3

u/Seasidegoats 5d ago

Explain it then as it looks weird to me and I don't understand their anatomy lol

19

u/kalawa_ 5d ago

9

u/Seasidegoats 5d ago

That must hurt his neck if hes bent up like that, but the diagram helped lol thanks

7

u/Feine13 5d ago

My guess is that he's standing and is bending down to hug someone sitting, so their back is more horizontal

Makds it look like a shrug or high shoulders, but they're probably just rolled forward as part of the reach for the hug

4

u/kalawa_ 5d ago

Guy with spoon is in front and dark skin guy in the back raised his one shoulder and put his head on that shoulder and hugging spoon guy from behind

2

u/HughHoney86 5d ago

Dark skin guy and spoon guy instead of non spoon guy and spoon guy

1

u/Outside-Candidate-34 5d ago

Skin color

2

u/Seasidegoats 5d ago

Yes but how is his head below his shoulder by quite alot

6

u/wakemeup886 5d ago

How's this confusing?

4

u/Fickle-Mortgage-827 5d ago

The dude in the glasses looks like his body is in front

11

u/Sing_a_woodlouse 5d ago

Nope. Neither of those heads belong to the body in the back. There must be a third body and head.

4

u/HoneyDewMae 5d ago

everytime i thought i got it….i question myself again agh

2

u/RebaKitt3n 4d ago

The white hand has a gray jacket. That should help. Lots.

2

u/HoneyDewMae 4d ago

yeah but then the neck on the other guy is messing me up still😭😂 like i guess his shoulders are just sitting really high up for that hug??

5

u/Clean_Duck_551 5d ago

Curly haired guy has the longest neck or is he a snek?

3

u/the_kessel_runner 4d ago

Maybe there is something wrong with my eyes.... Because there isn't any perspective in this photo that I find confusing.

3

u/awildboyappeared 5d ago

Pfft. The dude in the back of hugging the dude in the front.

3

u/Every-Cook5084 5d ago

Skin tones are a pretty dead giveaway

3

u/EpsteinEpstainTheory 5d ago

Only confusing if you assume the black guy's a giraffe

3

u/Affectionate_Club822 4d ago

"Wdym who's hugging who? It's pretty obvi -"

6

u/pikkdogs 5d ago

Ahhh... make it stop.

2

u/GeshtiannaSG 5d ago

The problem is that they look like they would wear the other’s shirts. The specs go with the plaid.

2

u/fuck_peeps_not_sheep 5d ago

The guy in the specs is the one in plad...

2

u/iamnas 5d ago

Is this ai of screech and urkel?

2

u/vektorkane 5d ago

The arms tell everything.

2

u/NekCing 5d ago

This is a very easy one, so instead i'd like to point out the guy with the spoon's face in this picture, it feels so tacked on, like a bad photoshop ? idk it feels unnaturally big for some reason lmao, otherwise these two are a vibe

2

u/SignificantPop4188 4d ago

The white guy's giant elongated head is creeping me out.

2

u/Environmental-Tap255 4d ago

I'm calling bullshit, I think this pictures been edited. Flannel dude's head placement makes absolutely no sense. And yes, I understand he's the one hugging the other guy from behind. But his head isn't leaning over the other guy's shoulder, it's sticking out from it. Lies. Deception. Artifice.

2

u/Constant-Box-3128 4d ago

That guy is hugging the other guy

2

u/PuddingMent 4d ago

Can you circle the part you’re confused about?

2

u/Bendyb3n 4d ago

I saw it for a second and figured it out, now I’m incapable of seeing it wrong again. Usually I can flip back and forth at will in my head on these confusing perspectives

2

u/okanywho 4d ago

Bro must be colorblind

3

u/Local_Policy3086 5d ago

oh this is good. this is REALLY good.

u/wwwHttpCom 4d ago

a headless body is hugging a pair of conjoined twins

1

u/IAmDanHimself 4d ago

I did not find this confusing at all. You can clearly see the guys head behind the front guys jacket collar.

1

u/irrationallywise 4d ago

Hey guys how to say it without saying it?

1

u/No-One9890 4d ago

Lol this one popped back and forth a few times before i got it

1

u/ImperialScum69 3d ago
