Poll: Can You Do That Thing Where You Raise One Eyebrow But Not The Other?

[Lt._nefarious]

So I was watching Oz and James Franco spends a lot of time with one eyebrow raised and the other not and I'm so jealous because after hours staring into the mirror I can only manage to slightly raise my right eyebrow without the other, and I can only do it in a mirror. It's infuriating, I really wish I could do it but even after trying I still can't work it. So I was wondering, can you, dear Escapists, raise one eyebrow independently? And if you think you can beat The Rock in terms of eyebrow raising power please give us a picture...

A little bit.

Not so much by raising an eyebrow, but by locking the other one down. And I can only do the left; No Jim Carry versatility.

lol, for some reason I found this really amusing

I can raise one eyebrow to a moderate degree with minimal movement of my other eyebrow, but I'm afraid the Rock has me beat

 

[Herminator09]

I'm about on par with the Rock but I prefer my abilities of wiggling my ears and being able to blow air out of my eye.

 

[AnarchistFish]

I can, but only with raising the right eyebrow. For some reason I can't do the same with the left. I'd say I can move them even more than in that picture though

 

[sky14kemea]

No, I can't! It really depresses me too!

My brother can do it so well, so he does it to tease me whenever I try. =[

All that happens for me is my eyebrows just both scrunch up together...

 

[Dead Seerius]

Hmmm. You know, I've never actually tried it while looking in a mirror before. One minute.

Damn! I can't do it and now my eyebrow muscles ache from all my failed attempts. I won't be defeated this easily though. From this day forward I shall train to become a master of eyebrow manipulation. Mark my words.

 

[Keoul]

Yes I can
AND I'M LOVING IT.

Though since my generation spends more time texting than talking face to face I don't use it as much as I'd like.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Yeah I can do it, granted it's not high but still noticeable.

 

[ClockworkPenguin]

Yep, with either. It's great for delivering the hands-free facepalm expression.

 

[smearyllama]

I can do it on the left side, but not the right. Definitely can't do that wavy thing.

Man... that's hypnotic...(!) =_=

OT: Um... yes. Left eyebrow raise = sceptical look. Right eyebrow raise = inquisitive look. *shrug*

 

[lRookiel]

Yes! and I love it :3

I find my thumbs a lot more impressive. They are stupidly flexible and I can trick people into thinking I've broken them. It has been useful in the past.

 

[an annoyed writer]

I've got a bunch of weird quirks, and it seems that that is one of them. And yes, I can and will beat The Rock. It helps me be stupidly capable at acting and shit, which is good, since I seem to have a highly expressive face.

 

[Aris Khandr]

Only with my right eyebrow. Not sure why, but I just can't make it work with the left.

I can do it with both brows but one is far better than the other.

My worst one (right) is about the same as that picture of Mr rock. My better side has like a 45 degree angle on it.

Can only raise one side of my lip though....

 

[Vault101]

yes...yes I can

I can raise my left one but not my right

 

[King Billi]

Yes I can! and I'm so happy to finally see a topic that lets me laud this talent... Thank You!

Could I beat The Rock though? Hmmm? I'm not sure

It would be a close one I think.
