Its a strange observation that really has nothing to do with the topic but it disturbs me in a weird way that he's edited his videos so that you never see him blink.
Is it just me or is this disturbing to others as well? Its a good gimmick if it does. It sure got my attention.
Yeah for sure. I've noticed this technique before in some great comedians - for example Andy Kaufman and Will Ferrell. In fact - that was what really got me about Kaufman's bits - the utter lack of blinking. I love how it makes the character seem possessed by some personality outside their own self.
So of course when that character doesn't blink it genuinely f*cks with out sense of balance in our communication - In the case of comedy, it's hilarious. Maybe in the case of a physical confrontation, it would be threatening instead..
