Body Langauge Analyst REACTS to Pewdiepie's Nonverbal Communication Over the Years | Episode 2

how's it going bros my name is pewdiepie i'm just kidding well hey there idiots welcome back to observe in today's video we're going to be reacting to the body language evolution of pewdiepie or felix eggshell burger over the past years of his career on youtube i found the earliest video that i possibly could and combined it with the most recent video that applied and i hope to be able to see some very interesting non-verbal developments throughout the years but without further ado let's talk a little bit about felix shelburg pewdiepie now for the few of you who don't know who felix or pewdiepie is he is one of the largest youtubers in the world holding the record for the most subscribed youtube channel for a very long time now i want to be able to take today to direct my expertise towards his specific non-verbal patterns over the last decade to see how has felix developed over the years that's enough talking let's dive in how's it going everyone pewdiepie here um this is going to be a video where i okay a few things that i just want to go ahead and talk about right off the bat is first notice how small he is in the frame this is common for a few reasons one of the most common ones though is that the person recording is largely not extremely comfortable being in front of a camera other reasons can be because they're in front of a green screen or because they just naturally sit that way but we know for a fact as felix develops that he becomes a bit more animated so we could see here right off the bat that his non-verbal communication is displaying signs of discomfort also if you pay attention to his face it remains largely unmoving he keeps the same general expression all the way through despite there being different topics throughout this video let's keep watching this guys on my channel what's going on and in my life why not um the reason why i haven't been uploading videos and maybe putting as much effort into my videos so he puts a little bit of distance between him and the screen no big deal there but he also straightens his shirt he has some shrugs in there and this is him displaying he is aware of how he presents himself to the camera he might be feeling a little bit insecure or just uncomfortable once again as you can kind of tell now there has been somebody who is a public speaker who has reviewed felix's public speaking throughout the years and this is similar to that and the public speaker points on some body language aspects not the least of which is the two-sided shrug which can be seen as sincere but what it's communicating non-verbally isn't i don't know i don't know and this happens both subconsciously and consciously putting as much effort into my videos it's summer and usually i don't spend that much time on the internet during the summer so you can hear his pitch changing and his projection changing nevertheless his facial expression remains largely the same and this is just a sign of desynchronization he's not comfortable in front of the camera right now it's just showing and it's no big deal i usually take a break from all electronics or whatever just because the internet here is so slow so i don't really bother with it i usually just check my facebook ground whatever a lot of people have been asking him why his channel has been that way this scratch on the side of the head is a self-soothing gesture which would be in response to the questions that subscribers no doubt were having at the time as to where have you been he's a little uncomfortable with the question so he does a little self-soothing gesture he is being genuine though and that's good to see too much information so yeah i think that was pretty much all i had to say um i hope you guys have the best some i don't know where i should look like like sure look there i hope you guys have the best summer ever um and i'll still be around so i love you guys so much all right so you can hear a little bit of nervous laughter he's fairly inexperienced with where to look with the camera his non-verbal communication is just showing he's new to youtube and it's good to be able to see somebody who has been on the platform for 10 years start at a level that is more obtainable to just about everybody instead of just coming right out of the gate fully professional looking and ready to take on the world let's keep watching this is a little bit later on in his lifetime now how's it going so a lot more animated right off the bat and he's doing his very intentional moves for his intro with the pewdiepie thing and all of that this is all him being able to fall into character that he maintained for some time but it is forced body language it's very over the top it's very dynamic and people really appreciated it for that part welcome to friday from harry potter on an actual [ __ ] friday who would have thought pitts actually pulled it off so one of the things that i want to be able to know about felix early early on is that despite him seeming very happy and outgoing and bubbly on the camera if you watch his eyes they are a fairly good representation of his actual emotional state so here you can see that not a lot of emotion enters into his eyebrows and eyes area which means that he may not be feeling this happiness that he's presenting to the world right now and that's okay sometimes you do have to be able to put on a face and oftentimes as an entertainer you really have to put on a face often but it shows up largely in his eyes area and where you can see here i see that he's tired this is due to the heaviness of the upper eyelids and i can also see that he's not feeling the joy that he's presenting on the rest of his body due to the fact the muscles up here that act automatically during genuine smiling are not active his smile isn't fully reaching his eyes aka it's forced a little bit a lot of people that have to act like they're happy all the time oftentimes have to force it just a little um anyway i created fridays with pewdiepie uh i think it's been one and a half year now since the first one doing some squinting and looking off to the side this is an expression of genuine recollection as proven by the people over at the university of rochester so that's good to see he's really genuinely recollecting and i did it because i wanted to get in touch with you brothers i wanted to acknowledge you in whatever freaking way and i thought what better way to do that than to actually talk to you bros so you can hear that he's really putting on a persona for this and he had this often throughout his videos throughout the years and that is going to be part of what lends towards the disconnected desynchronized body language that we'll see between his face his gestures and the emotion that he's presenting so that was that was that um i hope you both enjoyed um it was all i honestly was enjoying it as much so you can't tell but this is later on in the video i cut it here just to be able to focus on his face and afterwards after the actual video itself he had a lot more joy in his face than before you could see the action here in the corners of his cheek slash eye area where the smile is genuinely reaching his eyes this means that this video brought a little bit of joy to him by the end of it you bros because for for me it's it's really hard to realize uh that there are actually so many or at least people out there who find a lot of his nervous action is increasing as he's talking about people who are subbing to him and how many people there are it makes him physically and mentally uncomfortable to talk about that many people being subscribed to watch his content he's starting to fidget more he's looking off to the side this is all signs of nerves and uncomfortableness centered around this topic of subscribers a lot of joy in watching my videos and that's another sign of insecurity with a lopsided shrug there he's really not comfortable here understandably a lot of people really are not comfortable talking about the subscribers they have i would be one of those and he was definitely one of those there as well crazy for me that i i can barely understand it myself so it makes me really really happy to chat with you bros it's really awesome um so yeah stay awesome thank you for watching and we're gonna end it with the breakfast here comes ma so pewdiepie during this era was definitely becoming more of his own person by this time he's already made hundreds of videos so he's had a lot of practice and he's starting to use a lot more intentional gestures be it with his intro with his outro with illustrators that he'll maybe kind of draw a word picture with his hands this is all part of felix becoming more comfortable non-verbally in front of a camera and becoming more comfortable with who he is this next phase if you've watched felix for a while you know this phase and felix if you're watching this you know this phase this was a this was a fun time but i tried to find one that really got to show felix's real non-verbal communication during this time how's it going bros my name is pewdiepie today i have some special exciting news you've read all right so now we're still seeing these illustrators very intentional ones he's more energetic and more comfortable than he was before this feels like he's putting on less of a persona but it still has that over the top very dynamic persona that many youtubers in this specific field would put off that also being said if you watch his eyebrows they are not synchronized with his eyes this is still something to where he's forcing this happiness a little bit to be able to come across as more enjoyable to watch in general but he's not feeling that joy as prevalently as he's presenting it title i finally finally received the 10 million diamond play button it's good to be able to see the smile reaching his eyes over here in the corner of his eyes here a little bit bigger smile a little bit more genuine not totally felt but still quite genuine if you don't know youtube is hanging out for people with over 10 million sub channels this diamond play button we're at 44 million so it's a little late to the party youtube but i thought we'd unbox this together like what am i gonna do this is clearly trash like what am i gonna do with it i'm legit pissed i waited so once again watch his eyebrows hardly moving along with and while that's not a complete sign of insincerity of emotion it really does let you know that he is in fact acting still to some degree he's still forcing this emotion he's still trying to convey a certain energy that he's not necessarily feeling right now so long and i you know what i thought okay once they announced the diamond play button two years ago i was like oh that's cool maybe now i'll finally get it yeah he puts in the corner that it's actual sadness and to an extent it's actual sadness but this is where you can really see his eyebrows haven't changed from his anger joy and sadness so it's actual sadness but it's actual sadness for the camera rather than genuine hurt and pain he's frustrated he's maybe a little bit bummed out but as far as tormund nowhere close felix during this time definitely started owning his own character a little bit more here i skipped over a lot of content for felix because he has produced over 4 000 videos at this point of this upload i'm back baby oh [Music] oh feels good i've been on a break in case you haven't noticed did you miss me you missed me just say it i missed you too it's okay you know what's fantastic to see his eyebrows are moving that's exciting so that means that what we're seeing now from felix is the most real that he's ever been on his channel he's really presenting what his genuine personality and energy is as best as possible to the camera lens itself and you can see that through the synchronization of his face his eyebrows are moving and it's in sync with his eyes and his gestures this is all telling me that his nonverbal communication is synchronized across emotion and physical display let's see if this continues on so i rolled the intro what the [ __ ] did you do with the redditions in the next [Music] episode before we begin i have an exciting announcement after years of begging i finally decided to do a face reveal that's right i'm finally coming clean and doing the face reveal this is a big deal all right so his body language is completely synchronized but you can see what felix has done here is moved away from trying to force a specific emotion to talking about emotion in an ironic fashion which allows him to be able to maintain his normal resting baseline for his expressions he no longer really tries to amp up the emotions as much but when he does now it's not in a way that's disingenuous from himself he's amping up emotion while still being himself and it's coming across more natural and more genuine to the people that are watching him and that's an excellent sign of somebody who started off trying to force a specific persona and was able to develop in such a way that allowed him to approach the internet more relaxed and more naturally right now he's at the most natural that he has been throughout the past 10 years everything is different now actually that makes me want to look at really quick before i do this pewdiepie face reveal i remember when i did it the first time i look like a little dweeb where am i it was my thousand sub here it is oh it's two thousand five hundred there i am oh interesting thing so i'm going to talk about a couple things first i'm not going to talk about the earliest video of felix here because i already did something like that earlier but if you look at what felix is doing he's starting to stroke his chin which has two general possibilities either one he's deep in thought or two it's a self-soothing gesture which people will do they will stroke their mouth or chin to be able to add some level of self soothing so when he's looking at himself here looking at his body language it's already telling me that he's uncomfortable with what he sees let's see if his words do that in 2011 revealing my face to the internet for the first time i realized that now that i've run the most handsome phase of 2020 it's all gonna be downhill from there so i gotta live up people's imagination from now on i think he did address it in the actual video but i cut it out a little bit in this one just to keep it short but i hope you enjoyed this little video i'm trying to keep these shorter and i'm having trouble keeping my videos to a short more consumable length but my synopsis of felix is that he started off feeling very uncomfortable obviously and it presented itself non-verbally but more importantly he started off really forcing a persona that he didn't feel natural in himself that he did not feel the emotions that he was pushing and his nonverbal communication displayed that but now now that he's gotten older and he's had time to not only get used to it but he's matured and he's developed and he's figured out more of who he is and he has more comfort and confidence in that what we can see now is maybe a little bit more jaded mature and self-confident version of felix shelberg so let me know what you thought about this and if possible let's see if we can get it into the y so if you are on reddit which i'm not because i am very illiterate with the reddit realm of the internet but if you are go ahead and post it to his subreddit and i would greatly appreciate it if you did enjoy this video let me know by hitting the like button if you would like to be able to see one of your favorite creators or on-screen talents their journey non-verbally throughout their careers let me know their names in the comments section below i will go through and find the most popular ones run a poll you vote and you get to decide who the next person will be coming out on friday we will see trisha paytas and the drama and controversy that's going around there and then beyond that we'll just have to see what happens however i do have a feeling that rhetts and link might be in order but but without further ado that's all that i've got for the day my name is logan and you have been oh so awesome as you always are and i will see you in the next video cheers guys [Music]
