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

Yes, and better or on par with that picture. Been able to for as long as I can remember, but I can only raise my left eyebrow. Don't have the means to take a picture though, so take my word for it. ;P
Of course I have full control over my eyebrows. My father forced me to practice in front of a broken mirror while standing on glass until I got it right. Everytime I got it wrong he would beat me with a stick.
I learned to despise the old man until one day I couldn't take it anymore. So I knocked him out cold. When he woke up he looked at me, his eyes teared up and he called me "son" for the first time. That's when I knew I was man enough to make a woman carry my seed so she could give me a strong son of my own. And if he turns into some sort of eyebrow crippled sissy I'll drown him in a tub and start fresh.

I can raise my right one without too much trouble, but for some reason, I have an issue with raising my left one. 
I can raise my left eyebrow, and only a bit. Kinda sad because my mom can raise hers really high (I think she can beat The Rock), and I wish I could do the same.
The trick isn't to raise one eyebrow while the other stays still. The trick is to raise one eyebrow while lowering the other. Note in your picture of the Rock - that's what he's doing (the non-raised eyebrow is actually lower than normal).Lt._nefarious said:
By raising one and lowering the other, you're using both eyebrow muscles (which makes it easier to do) and you make the effect look more extreme (by sending them in opposite directions) which is why it works. Leonard Nimoy does the same thing. In fact, I'm pretty sure that (Nimoy) is where the Rock learned it.
Yes I can, and do it quite frequently. I'm actually surprised someone even asks this. I've always thought it's incredibly easy and that anyone can do it instantly. Guess not then.
Yesh! I have mastuhed teh rasing of teh right eyebrow!
It's sort of something I've started doing over the last few months. A few years ago I was really REALLY inexpressive. Like if someone told me they were raped or something my expression wouldn't change. I've sort of forced myself to stop looking apathetic over the years...

I can raise each independently higher than The Rock.
I can also do that frowny thing where I raise the outsides of both, but not the insides.
It's a good way to win arguments. People lose their train of thought quickly when their minds are being assaulted by the glory of my eyebrows.

wut. i wasn't even aware this was an issue for people. after reading the first page of replies i'm shocked that so many people seem to have a problem with this. i thought it was like asking 'who can raise one arm but not the other'. my reaction is wtf are you talking about? how is this even a question? who -can't- raise their arms independently? same thing.
same thing.I started when I was younger with my left eyebrow and that was pretty easy because I'm left handed and that just felt right. It wasn't until about 5 years ago that I could do the right side too. I can't go Jim Carrey rapid fire with it, but I can hold my own.
The internet will not cooperate and provide pictures, but Christopher Judge does this so much better than the rock. It's like his thing.
As for myself, I do not post pictures of myself(because I'm lazy and also ugly) but I am fairly good at it with my left eyebrow. I used to be able to do with my right, just not as well, but now I've lost the skill. I could still do it but I'd need to spend a few hours in front of a mirror reminding my face how to do it, and even then it wouldn't be as good as my left. It's actually a fairly routine facial expression for me, don't really know why.

I'm a righty and I can only raise my left. It might have to do with which eye is dominant. I'm left eye dominant, though like I said, I could do it with my right, just not as well, and I'd need to practice.Luftwaffles said:
