Poll: How do YOU Clap Your Hands?

[Scarim Coral]

Err I tend to clap my hand very fast (when I mean it), does that count as stupid?

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

Clap my own hands? What an absurd notion! That's what hand-clapping slaves are for.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

None of those, I just wave my arms around in the air and repeatedly scream 'Clap!'.

 

[Seventh Actuality]

The devil. A slightly bent hand creates a sort of 'bowl' in the palm that makes your clap louder and manlier.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Mostly like the devil, but when sarcastically applauding someone's stupidity I go for the full Standing Gentleman. Which is in no way a euphemism.

 

[Pinkamena]

I guess I'm a devil then.
A handsome devil.

 

[teqrevisited]

Like a gentleman when applauding performances, palm to shovel-like palm, and I use the devil method for formal speeches etc.

 

[Blunderboy]

I do it in the only correct fashion of course...

 

[smithy_2045]

I clap my hands the right way. Which appears to correlate with the gentlemanly approach.

 

[capper42]

The Gentleman I guess, but the Devil looks pretty similar. The most important thing is to get a good cup going, then your clap will echo out above everyone elses.

When I'm happy and I know it.

And today's internet cookie goes to TopazFusion for that hilarious post.

OT: I clap like a sir, for I am most certainly a sir.

abyss look at my profile

Isn't the Escher and the Devil pretty similar?

I'm one of those two anyways. I only do the Gentleman if I'm sarcastically slow clapping.

 

[K84]

Like a gentleman, and i can clap with a hard sound, like i'm hitting people in the face.
Stylish and scary.

 

[templar1138a]

The way I do it isn't listed.

I keep my hands parallel and strike my palm on my left hand with the fingers on my right. It's a clapping technique I learned in chorus, as it generates the most volume and is the easiest to maintain.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Do I get bonus marks for not only clapping naturally in the classic gentleman style as shown in the gif (cupped for the added noise), but also having a moustache too?

 

[namhorFnodroG]

Apperantly, as the Devil. That couldn't have fitted better.

 

[hazabaza1]

One vertically and one horizontally.
You decide the rest.

 

[Mycroft Holmes]

I use the Bart Simpson method. What is the sound of one hand clapping?

I dunno, what's the honest difference between "The Gentleman", "The Devil", and "The Escher"; because they all look like virtually the same thing to me

Clearly you two just haven't been clapping your hands long enough to appreciate all the subtle, nuanced differences between The Devil and The Gentleman. The Escher is The Escher, make of it what you will.

Sometimes like a devil though I don't completely understand the reasoning why you described it so. Also I tend to clap loud and sometimes clap to squeeze the air between my palms to make fart sounds so stupid as well.

You're thinking about this too much. For your own good, I would stop.

Also: look at that guy! He has no body! He is blackness, and he's clapping while somehow only revealing his hands/amazing technique! If I had to pick out the Devil from a crowd, I'd probably pick the guy who IS negative space... and is clapping for some reason.

Like the Devil I assume.

Spoiler

This guy gets it.

Hands? I use my thigh and massive penis to generate applause I clap like a gentleman, but if one of my hands is otherwise occupied then I'll just smack my thigh really loudly. Thanks to trouser muffle, it sounds like a dull clap.

None of those, I just wave my arms around in the air and repeatedly scream 'Clap!'.

I will go ahead and mark you guys off as not knowing how to clap your hands, but I respect your ingenuity. Some people don't have the time or patience to master the art of hand clapping, but you two... you two have made your own techniques. That is what clapping your hands is ALL about!
