This hilarious prank video comes with a foreboding introductory sentence: "WARNING: DO NOT LOOK INTO THE EYES!"
It begins with the intensely disturbing music, telling the viewer that something horrifying is about to happen. We're brought closer and closer to an odd looking brown sculpture, and even though we've been warned not to look directly into his eyes, our curiosity seems to get the best of us.
As you stare into the fathomless pits of the statue's eyes, you'll quickly realize nothing happens. You stare deeper and deeper, fearing of some Medusa or basilisk-like reaction from locking eye contact with this mysterious figure. You look at the glass that separates you from the bust, and when you finally see a few odd looking water droplets it is suddenly too late.
At the :13 second mark everything makes sense and we have to say it's one of the funniest pranks that we could ever expect to come from an art museum. The sculpture is titled No Eye Contact and is made by Norwegian artist Erik Pirolt. Now this is an art piece that you'd probably never see in America simply because of all the possible lawsuits. Either way, we'd love to see it here in the states!
Even though this amazing video was uploaded four years ago, we're overjoyed that it is finally going viral. It definitely deserves it!
