Whenever I've played telephone with a large group there's always that one person who didn't understand the assignment and changed it intentionally rather than trusting the process. Incentivizing the group based on how close they can keep it and going around the circle to hear what people heard helps.
@@deaconblooze1 Hmm... This could be an interesting social deduction game. One (or several) player is assigned the role of werewolf/impostor/mole, and their goal is for the end result to be as different as possible from the original. The others want it to be similar. And then the group needs to figure out which is which :)
This was a fun idea! I don't think anyone did a terrible job considering, they were mostly all within a certain tolerance of the previous one, it just compounds quickly, and it's interesting to see how things get reinterpreted over time.
No. There were several iterations that were obviously the work of people who did not give a single rat's fart what they were doing. I want the names of these people so that I can be sure to never hire them for any kind of work I may need done. Absolute failures of effort.
This reinforces the theory that, whenever you find homo sapiens near a drawable surface and some drawing media, you will find a dick pic. It never fails.
#6 begun the snowball. That's when it made the cat different enough to be misinterpreted. It also feels different enough, it's almost like that was a logical change, but seems like there should be something in between 5 and 6. It's a shame the change came so early. It was still cat-esque, especially if you know the og image, but it's different enough to be misinterpreted. It's also not that different from a cat, but different enough to fall.

I can’t believe it devolves that much when they get to use the previous drawing to make the next one. If they had less time or couldn’t look at the drawing once they put their own pen to paper I’d get it, but this was so unexpected and unbelievable. My goodness
They only got one attempt. So that leaves a lot of room for mistakes. It probably wouldn't be so bad if everyone got one free do-over. I'm also curious what would happen if you do the same experiment but people use tracing paper instead.
I would like to remove the people who did poorly and try again with a different picture. I think it is probably about 10% of the people who accelerated the changes and without those people it could stay much more consistent.
@@4saken404nah I don't think it would make any difference. Most alteration happened from 2-3 outliers who don't have as good object/spacial comprehension when it comes to sketches. Like when between two pictures a ring was completely gone and turned into a bulbous growth.
I think this could be a good visualisation of how an accumulation of tiny changes can become a very big change − which is what happens in evolution of the spieces. Many people have difficulty grasping that small changes from one generation to the next can generate very different animals after hundreds of thousands of generations…
This is why if I have to cut a bunch of pieces of wood or something I always use the original, not the most recent piece I cut, to check if the piece I’m about to cut is going to be the right size
This is a game we play at home with one variation. We start with a drawing, then the next person writes a description of what they see. The next person draws the description and so on. Things deteriorate way faster.
This is very interesting, the same thing essentially happens with writing. All of the letters of the latin alphabet used to be depictions of real things, for example "A" used to be an ox's head. These were based on a word which started with that letter in a Northwest-Semitic language. This is also true for the Chinese characters, almost all of those used to be visual depictions of things, or made up of visual depictions of things in a rebus fashion. Over the generations, the original form is lost, and the pronunciation, meaning, and form no longer seem related. Edit: This also leads to the simplification of shapes, to make them nore memorable and faster to write (such as replacing the complex nose on the cat with a little loop!).
It'd be cool to see this done with artists. Everyone's style would be in the style of the next person and they would each be adding their own signature flair as it goes. Me and a buddy used to do drawings where we'd pass it back and forth and each add one thing to the drawing. It could be a character, object, design, background, add on to an object, etc. It made some really fun stuff.
this is so funny and well produced, why doesnt it have more views! also never seen a video like this before, would be fascinating to see more/see the experiment go further to 100+ people
What a wonderful demonstration of entropy. The drawing can only simplify; even the most skilled artist can only reproduce what they see, and (by the rules of the game) never reintroduce the original detail.
This is fascinating. You basically replicated the entire path from drawings to hieroglyphics to letters in a few minutes, as opposed to a few thousand years.
Holy crap, didn't expect it to escalate that quickly. 😮 I mean, I am no good drawer myself, but some versions were totally different, and were drawn in the different part of the paper as they used to be. If there were no time constraint and could look the previous image all the time, how that could even happen? 😅
This was fantastic! I really enjoyed this. It reminds me of the whisper game where we would sit in circle and whisper something in someone's ear. It would go around the circle and by the time it got to the last person the sentence was so far off from the original sentence .
This is a really cool demonstration of how our brains will relate parts of a picture based on how close they are to each other. When a person draws a line a little too close to a cloud, the next person assumes that the cloud and the line are related, and tries to draw them as one entity. Really cool stuff!
Honestly, the final.image is really nice. If you take away the clouds you have a neat new logo or fun tattoo. Feels primitive yet elegant and as the creator of the first drawing you can see the original image through it and connect your experiences to it.
Two important changes can be made. First, let people fix mistakes. Like the guy that made the legs asymmetric, it was not on purpose and it was not just a small imperfection that would eventually compound, it was a noticeable error right there. That would mean that we only get changes based on small imperfection, which is way more fun than a guy sneezing while dragging his pen and completely changing it all at once. Second, and better suited for longer experiments, let people know (but not see) what the original was. Like everyone would start their copy knowing it was a cat, now let see how it changes. Would that still change dramatically?
When I play art telephone, I like to make it kinda detailed, have the next person take a good look, and then have so they can’t look at it while their drawing, causing the peice to warp a LOT.
It's interesting that at one point a third cloud appeared, but after only a few drawings it merged with the character so it was back to two clouds. But the whole developement is interesting. The arms became ears, but those disappeared eventually and later the ring turned into new arms which also turned into ears over time. Then the ground-line formed a new ring...
Really good video. I love these kinds of videos that you do so It is so cool to see how everything changes like that. I do a selfie everyday so I experience similar experiences to that so this was a fun watch. Great video. Very wholesome amongst the cubing community as well.
This would be a great flipbook. I would double the pages, but after 50, tell everyone it's supposed to be a dog and they have to slowly reshape it back. I think that would be pretty cool.
The times I’ve played this we do it where each drawer gets to see the drawing for a set time before it is removed and they have to draw theirs from memory.
You chose a difficult one with the ring around the cat. I think aside from the last ones, were it wasn't a character anymore, the biggest difference was from 5 to 6.
I think one of the biggest changes was when someone accidentally forgot to put the ring in the foreground in front of the body, leading to the lines crossing instead of the body appearing to be inside the ring. It's such a small thing but I think it snowballed into the ring being entirely reinterpreted.
It was really interesting how the cloud on the right suddenly split in two, and the cat held one piece until it shrank and disappeared, and there were only two clouds again.
I find it interesting that it appears that the people drawing tend to try to make sense of what they see, and things happen like the ring becoming arms.
I like how the right cloud at some point split into two clouds, then it turned into a balloon that the creature was holding in its hand, then it turned into a finger, then the hand with finger turned into an ear with a big ear tumor, then it turned into a regular ear
![Quando Rondo - Life Goes On [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eIf3fhMXAow/mqdefault.jpg)
the creature gained and lost ears several times, and not always two at a time
it went from cat ears to human-

The real intention of the game is to find out who, in your friend group, is a liar and/or troublemaker.

Have each step be done by 2 people, each with the goal of adding 1 thing?
I once actually heard the most out of pocket thing and no one believed me😢😢
Sharpie was a brilliant medium choice for this. It gets rid of being too careful and any mistakes are kept, allowing for fun changes to the place
Agreed. I play this game like twice a year and we always use pencil. Will definitely be embracing the chaos from here on.
HOW THIS CAT TRANSFORMED INTO A BROKEN VASE!?!?!!!?
I love how the hula hoop slowly turns into a scarf
I love how the cat got squished and cozy
goood video
the cat turned into fire with underpants
That was a hula hoop-?
Lol the two drawings changed so much.
imagine a stand at some convention where anyone can just come up and copy the last drawing.
sanic
Knowing humans, people would probably not evem try to copy the last person, and just draw a dingo
Would need a moderator

Many people have difficulty grasping that small changes from one generation to the next can generate very different animals after hundreds of thousands of generations…
Yes and it's so cool to observe evolution of separate elements like eyes and ears
I love how the cat gets shorter each drawing
I've seen this done before, and same effect: the drawing shrunk over time.
I love how careful some people are being, *perfectly* drawing the bean cloud
But everyone makes one mistake that... changes things
I'm a big fan of the peen cloud on 21 and 22.
This is similar to how hieroglyphs evolved into simple letter glyphs. Cool 👍
Shows the importance of small details and how hard it is to get something right first time. Especially when using a sharpie.
So cool to see.
If you put it on 2x speed it’s kinda like they are creating a choppy animation on paper like it’s a normal cat and it is deforming
Also, as the ground became less obvious, it started looking like a hoolahoop. At a certain point, I watch it imagining a devolving cat hoolahooping.
I put it on 4.5 speed and it looked like the cat got squished :(
Henry’s prediction was a little off 😅
Wish he would do it with 1000 soon pls
a bit optimistic, he said 😅
