7 People Who Are Enjoying Using Instagram and Snapchat Filters on Movies Way Too Much
People everywhere have discovered that turning the camera onto their TV screens can provide endless hours of hilarious entertainment.
Some movie scenes are so familiar that one silly filter can make them feel brand new. That is exactly what happened when people started pointing Instagram and Snapchat effects at their screens and turning dramatic moments into pure comedy.
From Twilight to Seinfeld to the Avengers, the results are weird, funny, and sometimes a little unsettling. A recent Twitter thread pulled together some of the best examples, and the internet did what it does best, kept the jokes coming.
Here are seven people who are enjoying using Instagram and Snapchat filters on movies way too much.
1. Oh, don't worry, none of us will
This particular filter is increasingly popular with "filtered movie" buffs. It's a mixture of shock, Mr. Bean, and just plain ick!
That face does a lot of the heavy lifting here.
2. What ARE you doing, Brian?
The old "stare and drive" scene is way funnier with this filter. But let's be honest, not even that face can make Paul Walker look bad.
3. Behold, the mighty Avengers!
Thanos and Iron Man aren't nearly as intimidating with this filter on, for some reason. Not sure why.
Even the biggest villains lose their edge with a goofy filter.
Speaking of viral face-morph chaos, check out the “Old Masters” paintings that feel like original influencer posts.
4. Okay, apologies to Willem Dafoe, but this is so accurate
Willem Dafoe has one of the most easily recognized faces in Hollywood, with his poignant grin and bulging blue eyes. So, is it a coincidence that one of the most popular Snapchat filters seems to turn everyone into a beloved actor?
5. "You can't handle the truth!"
Okay, how are we supposed to take this super intense scene seriously ever again?
This one is impossible to unsee.
6. Awww, baby Seinfeld
Is there anything more adorable than baby Seinfeld and baby Kramer? We think not!
7. The stuff of nightmares
Will we ever sleep again after watching this? Nope.
Somehow, the weirdest versions are also the funniest.
