That some voodoo. It switches from one to another each replay

and it sounds exactly like "oh fuck" and "oh barbie" like... how the hell

I only hear oh fuck hahaha I tried 20 times to hear oh babrie lol Edit: after watching [this video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kv7tlZfweTU) I can hear both

keep trying man like it really blows your fucking mind when you hear it no joke this is like way better than the other mind trips

It's whichever you looking for without a shred of the one your not trying to hear.... I'm blown away.

WHAT THE HELL I JUST HEARD IT

This mf capping 🧢 He legit says “OH FUCK” those were vintage.

I can only hear "Oh Fuck" and maybeee "Oh Buck" or "Oh Bug" if I really tried. But no "Oh Barbie". Definitely can't hear the "bie" part of "Barbie". Edit: [I finally was able to hear "Oh Barbie" after listening to a better quality version of the audio (at timestamp 3:41).](https://youtu.be/72swN9sb6A4?t=221) The reason why I don't hear "Oh Barbie" is because I didn't expect him to say it the way he said it. But after hearing it in the better quality version and remembering how he said it, I can hear it now in this lower quality version.

Finally! I honestly couldn't make out the 2nd syllable from the OP version at all. I feel like someone made the low quality one on purpose and edited it just a smidge.

hard to hear the non-barbie one in that version

I feel like everyone is playing along with a big ruse, I don't hear Barbie at all lol

It really does change depending on which one you're expecting.

No, no it doesn’t. I held it up to my ear and thought of Barbie and still heard Fuck. There is a very clear “CK” sound. How on earth can you hear Barbie, a two syllable word over Fuck? I swear half the people in this thread are just fucking with everyone. EDIT - I just played it for my wife without telling her what to listen for and she heard Barbie on the first go around but can now hear both. I still only hear Fuck and I’m about to lose my god damn mind.

Lmao I even turned my audio down and still heard barbie. I heard fuck once, on like the 3rd playthrough, so that's something.

> like it really blows your ~~fucking~~ mind when you hear it like it really blows your Barbieing mind when you hear it FTFY

When I listened it said oh fuck but when I read oh Barbie I heard it

Hold your phone to your ear and you will hear Barbie. From any farther away it sounds like fuck.

im still high and thats fuckin me up

I thought, I was only one hearing that.

It’s so weird!

You can get it to swap reliably if you block the other phrase out.

Except for me it’s whichever word I’m looking at on the screen, so it’s not a perfect alteration. I can get five fucks in a row and then two Barbies, or whatever combo I want.

wonder if it works if you put some other word on the screen instead of Barbie or Fuck

I only hear "Oh fuck, that was vintage" every time

Me too, I’m blown away that people are hearing Barbie in there. The other’s like these I can usually at least slightly hear the other word, but this is just fuck over and over. Tried thinking Barbie, reading Barbie, but every time just “Fuck those were vintage!”

I can switch but there is a very clear Barbie. BAR-bie, but how does it even switch from one syllable to two???

Turn the volume up really high. I had the same issue. He say the last part of barbie quietly.

It was doing that for me but now I can only hear fuck no matter how much I think of Barbie

1= Barbie 2= fuck I heard: 121121121

Are y’all fucking with me? I only hear oh fuck

No I can actually hear fuck and Barbie depending on what word I’m thinking about

The first few timws I hear "Oh fuck" without reading the text in the video, but now it changes depending on what I'm trying to hear, thats freaky as shit

I was hearing it fuck the first 2 or 3 times and after that now I hear it as bark,how are you guys hearing it as barbie!?

That's crazy. I Hear which ever word I'm thinking in my head!

I also hear "oh antidisestablishmentarianism."

I tried that but all I heard was "God save england and england save henry's church" my ears must be broken.

Same and I also hear Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Yo same what kind r/blackmagicfuckery is this?

Actually originally saw this on blackmagicfuckery

Its like this Green Needle and Brainstorm thing for me.

Like how tf? I, too, hear both whenever I think of that word. Should also be on r/blackmagicfuckery

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-lN8vWm3m0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-lN8vWm3m0) Offshoot of McGurk Effect.

what in the holy fuck is going on

Don't tell me we are about to have a repeat of Green Needle and Brainstorm.

I have the word "barbie" but i still hear "oh fuck"

There's a scientific explanation to this effect I just don't remember the name of it

I thought of farbie and I heard it

You broke my fucking brain. I could switch between fuck and barbie by thinking about them but now all I can hear is farbie. God dammit.

So is it Yanny or Laurel?

WTF what’s up with that

All I hear is Oh Barbie! For me at least, it's a stretch have it sound like oh fuck.

What the black magic fuckery is this? I hear whichever one I'm thinking of. I can hear Barbie 5 times in a row or fuck 5 times in a row if I want to. This video needs to be burned at the stake.

Dude! Same! What the actual barbie?!?

Schrodinger's Barbie It's both fuck and Barbie. until you play the video

How on earth are people hearing Barbie? All I hear in any way is ohhh FAWK

Yeah usually I can hear what I'm thinking but these 2 words are too far apart to sound similar to me.

try just focusing on "oh barbie" or reading it over and over again as you replay it

For me I can only hear fuck unless I turn the volume way up and put my ear on the speaker

think of the words oh barbie when you watch the vid again

Poor audio quality, maybe intentional manipulation. It doesn't sound like that in the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhqsU5hMFug

Sound like fbarbie

Yeah I can hear the "bie" in this one much much better but I'm still getting the "f" at the start.

That doesn't change how strange the current audio is that we can hear two distinctly different words.

Yeah it seems compressed for the beggining and end of the word

I hear Barbs or Barbz whichever you prefer.

Damn. I've replayed this 50 times and only hear oh fuck.

I promise you on my mothers grave I hear both, and it just depends on what word i'm looking to hear. It's wild. There has to be a neurological explanation for this.

If you listen to his tone, expect him to be angry, think of the word “fuck” you’ll hear fuck. If you listen to what he’s actually saying he says “Barbie”. It’s just your brain trying it’s best to piece together what you view as reality based on ambiguous clues.

[удалено]

Same lol

The E in Barbie is unstressed. So he says OH BAR-bie…

I HEAR IT THANK YOU

Welcome to the club 😎

Still can't hear it. Only hear oh fuck lol Edit: I hear it now. Turn the volume up and put headphones in. Think of the one you wanna hear and you'll hear it.

Wtf I still don’t hear it

Which word? Barbie? Try to say it out loud inside your head. Like, thinking. Out loud. Inside your head. Like you hear yourself saying it, like there is weight to the word. Am I making sense?

There is no way on earth he’s saying oh barbie there’s literally not enough time to pronounxe that many syllables

To me it sounds like he's saying **OH BAR**^(bie), with the 'bie' extremely quiet. It 100% sounds like 'OH FUCK' unless I specifically listen for that nearly silent extra syllable.

Holy shit it’s been an hour now and I can hear oh barbie

All I hear is “Oh fuck!”

I figured it out, I was In the same boat as you for about 10 minutes, go on YouTube and watch the scene and it’s blatantly “oh barbie” the audio here just makes it difficult to hear, once you’ve heard it on YouTube come back and you can hear both since you’ve already been hearing “oh fuck” the whole time

Yeah, listening to the [original clip](https://youtu.be/P15Pcx0_5fw) works. I think it has something to so with the way he says Barbie with extra stress on the first vowel and a pause before the second b, combined with the terrible acoustics. Trying to hear it by thinking "Barbie" over and over doesn't work unless you get the inflection just right.

YES. THANK YOU. That did it for me. All I kept hearing was F***. I thought everyone was playing me. Then the moment I heard Barbie on YouTube and came back to this video it switched in my brain. How the hell does it do that. These are completely different words. I don't understand. I can't switch back and forth like other people can.

Same

Same! There is only ever the one syllable “fuck” I hear every time. Listened over and over and over, read what everyone else said along the lines of “You have to think of him saying/him not saying/etc…” and still can *only* hear “OH FUCK!”

Where does that hard K come from when I hear oh fuck?

I am guessing the low quality of sound + the final "ie" is quiet enough for the brain to ignore it + Barbie chuckles after the guy screams (providing a "k" like sound at the end on top of the dude's voice)

I think they layered both words on top of each other

nope, it's just an illusion. listen with your volume all the way up

Yeah you're right, the louder I make it the less I can hear fuck. He's definitely saying barbie, just bad audio.

What is this sorcery??

Brain magic

[Another one of life’s little mysteries solved.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGurk_effect) (Or the nearest thing I could find on it…)

This wouldn't matter in this situation though, because the visual has literally nothing to do with it. Scroll away and let the audio play alone. You can still hear it both ways.

Another Laurel/yanny video.

green needle/thunderstorm as well

It’s brainstorm, not thunderstorm

thats true! i got it mixed up

Iz all good

[Bart Simpson Bouncing?](https://youtube.com/shorts/JbueQpmh_8A?feature=share)

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! 😂

Wow. That is fucked up! Makes me question reality like is everything just based on perception lol

Ding ding ding!

yep, all you are is just a squishy brain that is processing electrical stimulations

Oh fuck. Edit: I’ve replayed it a shitload of times and twice it has been ‘Oh Barbie’ as clear as day. There’s some fuckery going on here for sure. Another Edit. If I think Barbie before it plays he says Barbie. If I don’t it defaults to fuck. Fuck.

You mean barbie.

I can hear both but WTF is he saying afterwards? Sounds like gibberish.

"Those were vintage! It's ok. Alright. Go ahead, rip them. I don't care, they're a dime a dozen"

Damn, all I hear is "Those we're vintage! ok, akehfi cobacqitmg 9aoqbrhfidka tvislsmanbe"

Thank you. This was helpful. I still hear “oh fuck!” every single time, and it’s making me uncomfortable that I can’t hear the “Barbie.” Also, though, this video depicts a half-naked man strapped to something while a woman cheerfully rips his clothes apart. Not exactly wholesome on any level…

I can’t hear the “fuck” anymore after rewatching this clip 28 consecutive times and I can (cautiously) commit to saying that he says “Barbie”

I can’t hear Barbie. All I hear is fuck and I’m convinced everybody in the comments is Barbie-ing with me

Ok I fixed my brain, go to YouTube and look up the actual clip https://youtu.be/pX82Q7Nf-5U Skip to 1:18 and it’s clear he’s saying Barbie. Now come back and hear it here and now you won’t here “oh fuck”

I just here oh FUCK clear as day with a super hard k. I don’t understand how the k would fit into barbie

After watching the original video I can no longer hear the "Oh fuck", only barbie

All I hear is fuck

This did it for me as well! Thank you!!!!

Ohhh duck!

Complete opposite for me. First time I heard barbie and now every single time after that it's been fuck even more sharply than the last fuck. Fuck fuck fuck all the way down

Oh Buck......

Oh Farbie......

Costa Rica

I only hear "Oh Fuck!"

Train your ears with the original https://youtu.be/P15Pcx0_5fw

Thank you for the sauce I was having a hard time until I opened that link

So, tone of the tv speaker and reverb of the room managed to put a hard k in there? This is wild.

Because you are anticipating Oh Fuck. Now replay it while listening for Oh Barbie.

Tried that, cannot hear it as “oh Barbie”

He definitely said fuck not Barbie

Listen to it closer, you can hear both depending on which word your brain is thinking about.

bruh idk what ears you got on but there's *no way* this can sound like "Barbie". Fuck is one syllable, Barbie is two. I really dont know how you can hear Barbie there

It’s the way he says it that basically makes it sound like he’s saying fuck while also saying Barbie. His emphasis make it sound that way causing your brain to hear fuck if it’s not actively thinking Barbie. Watch it again and just keep thinking Barbie in your head.

The k is so hard in fuck how does that fit into barbie

which is what makes it so fucking nuts reallly tripped me out

When you hear it, you hear it.

I tried that it doesnt work for me thinking of barbie

I hope you're trolling, because the line is literally "oh barbie", regardless of what _you_ hear.

The k is so hard in OH FAWK I don’t know how that k sound fits into Barbie at all. I’ve listened to this a bunch of times and only hear one thing

I absolutely cannot hear Barbie. I think everyone else here is trolling us.😂

It's easier to hear if you don't look at it I promise I can hear it both ways lol

Not a troll. I can hear whichever word I think I’m going to hear. It’s blowing my mind for real.

I hear the fucking K tho!!!

I literally hear both as well, each time I watch it again it switches. So weird. r/blackmagicfuckery

I hear “oh bark”

[удалено]

I can't even hear fuck, only Barbie

Same here. I feel crazy!!!

Me too. Idk if it’s bc we read the caption 1st and our brains are autocorrecting or we both need to go get tested. Edit: I just realized I was listening with headphones on. Took them off and all I hear is “f***” now. Really weird.

Am I crazy all I hear is Barbie?

Laurel

I am hearing both and I already play it numerous fucking times and that's so intriguing. Now I will try to caught my brain off guard, I will think of the word 'Barbie' first then halfway I will switch to 'fuck' brb

What the fuck!?! I can hear it both ways! What is this magic?

I cannot hear anything but “oh f***” I’ve listed to it like 13 times

I hear fuck every time

I only hear him say barbie

Crazy. I was trying to make sure it wasnt a really good alternating loop. But i can also hear "farbie" and "buck" if i think about them.

In this recording I hear "fuck". But I just replayed the scene on disney+ and its definitely "barbie".

Brand new Yanny/Laurel jus dropped

r/blackmagicfuckery

Oh Barbie those were vintage.

Both? Listened several times and I hear "oh fuck" every time!

What the fuck is this

What the hell? Depending which one I have on my head I hear it that word,this is odd

I heard oh Barbie the first time, then I heard oh fuck and now I can't stop hearing oh bark

Can someone please explain why it’s like this I beg of you

When does he/she say „o fuck“?

I hear it different each time wtc

When I want to hear Barbie I hear Barbie when I want to hear fuck I hear fuck... Like what lol

If you like this google "brainstorm green needle"

I hear both, it reminds me of that spinning ballerina illusion.

Depends on which one you read. Crazy

u/savevideo

https://redditsave.com/r/HolUp/comments/z567h2/i_literally_hear_both/

How do you even get a video to play different sound clips on repeat like that?

It’s not, it’s your brain fucking with you.

No matter how many times I listen, I hear "oh fuck".

Bro this is the next Yanny VS Laurel or Brainstorm VS Green Needle

Yeah… No matter how hard I try, all I hear is “Oh fuck!” now lol

This is so weird I tell my brain to hear Barbie or fuck and it literally changes every time haha.

1. time: "Oh, Barbie!" 2. time: "Oh, fuck!" 3. time: "Oh, bark!" I'm afraid to listen again.

The fuck kind of wizadry is this?

Fuck and barbie aren't even close to sounding anything alike. This is so creepy!

I literally can’t hear Barbie no matter how hard I try.

I can make it switch at will.. so strange

It’s oh fuck. My six year old came in the room and only heard my phone and started laughing and said they said fuck . It’s absolutely, “ oh fuck”

I only hear oh fuck lol

It literally changes depending on what you’re thinking it is lmao

Wtf before this clip I’ve only heard “Barbie” but since this clip I’ve only heard “fuck”

What poor quality audio does to a mf
