If You Film The Political Debates From A Particular Angle With Your Phone, All Participants Look Like Debating Big Brains

Aliens live among us! Or at least that’s what some people’s first reaction would be if they tried an incredibly simple but funny trick while watching TV. If you watch your TV through your phone from above and at an angle, you can make anyone on-screen look like they’re an egghead with an IQ of 9,000.

That’s what one internet user did while watching one of the United States Democratic Party’s debates, turning possible presidential candidates into big-brained mutants just by changing the phone angle used to watch TV. Like I said, simple (like 3rd-grade level simple) but funny.

Watching TV through your phone from above…

…makes people’s heads look gigantic, just like aliens

Big-headed pictures of the Democratic candidates were a real hit on the internet. On Imgur, over 46,000 people saw the collection of pictures, over 4,780 upvoted it, and another 382 left a comment.

As you probably already expected, a large chunk of the comments deals with the following topics (in alphabetical order): aliens, brains, heads, and Martians. Some commentators drew comparisons between the politicians and the titular genius characters The Brain, as well as Megamind.

The US Democratic Party is in the process of determining which politician will represent the political group in the 2020 American presidential elections. And the competition is something fierce.

This year’s field of Democratic candidates is the largest field of presidential candidates for any American political party since 1972, even exceeding the field of 17 major candidates that sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.
