Bro looks like he is about to pull a bankai with that clothing.

you sob lol

[thecouncil]

Spoiler

...

well, he's gotta stop smiling at some point, right? or did you want him to smile into oblivion after that moment?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Only his fans are fooled.

 

[Servbot24]

Don't know what Kanye's problem is. Personally I would love it if I literally could not go two minutes without a camera being shoved in my face. I'd be all smiles all the time. I guess he's just a big ol douchebag!

 

[ODDI]

C'mon son.

 

[Currygan]

kinda missing Cerny threads

 

[Daffy Duck]

Thank god for the gifs as the vine in the OP is not working.

 

[number47]

Its cute. Like a child who doesn't want to show excitement.

Not to mention his big ass cheeks.

 

[blame space]

Leave Kanye alone

 

[Lord Fagan]

That guy behind him is incredible. Two or three more instances of people bombing Kanye like that might even make his fans break character and admit that all he's missing is a pair of oversized shoes and a great, big, red nose.

 

[cyberheater]

A well crafted clown character.

 

[Fjordson]

I don't know, is Kanye really scared / annoyed by cameras? Just seems kinda phony to me. I mean this guy is Walt Disney, Shakespeare and Andy Warhol rolled up into one artist, seems like he'd be okay with being seen in public. I kinda buy the jaw surgery thing, though. Maybe just self-conscious.

I am standing up and I’m telling you. I. Am. Warhol. I am the number one most impactful artist of our generation, in the flesh. I am Shakespeare, Walt Disney. Nike. Google.

What a beautiful man.

 

[Frank Serpico]

Haha, trying way too hard to be that "serious artist"

 

[blame space]

are you guys saying he was smiling.. and then he.. stopped smiling?

 

[John Kowalski]

Haha, trying way too hard to be that "serious artist"

Maybe he was just sad.

 

[lastflowers]

I'd hate cameras and public events if the paparazzi followed me around all day too.

From his interviews and attitude towards paps, he seems incredibly annoyed by the violation of privacy and the extent they go to get shots of him/his family. He also seems to understand that it's a job and they help each other out, but wants rules to be established between paps and celebs.

As long as I’m in Polo smiling, they think they got me
But they would try to crack me if they ever see a black me

Sure, but sitting at a finals game? There's a million cameras there, even more so than a regular bball game.

 

[enzo_gt]

ITT: People can't fathom abrupt changes in facial expressions

 

[Extra Sauce]

I remember doing something like this on high school

Makes sense, Kanye seems about as comfortable in his skin and socially adept as a teenager.

 

[Rembrandt]

True, but I don't see why he has to be constantly smiling for the cameras. Tons of celebs go without turning into vines.

 

[Kibbles]

Looks like Kanye was pissed at red hat man

 

[PhoenixDark]

Can't y'all see that he's fake, the male version of Drake
Ranting on your CDs and tapes
Won't break you a crumb off the big amount that he makes
And this is with whom you want to place your faith

 

[fader]

was this not smiling thing something he developed after the accident?

 

[Fjordson]

True, but I don't see why he has to be constantly smiling for the cameras. Tons of celebs go without turning into vines.

But to break off mid smile or laugh is pretty weird lol. Like when he was laughing at something Scottie Pippen said to him at a Bulls game but literally stopped mid laugh because he noticed a camera. That's actually way more likely to get bounced around the internet than just acting natural and ignoring the camera.

Not that any of this really matters. Kanye's not the first creative to be weird and he ain't the last.

 

[Obscura]

This always seems to be the case with Kanye haters. They barely know him or see very little of him through outlets, but yet, they have an opinion about his character or who he is.

This is EVERY celebrity. Not just Kanye.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Dude had reconstructive surgery on his jaw. Maybe his laugh to no laugh transition is mess up or something. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

well I was thinking more of him being self-conscious about smiling. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[RockTurtle]

maybe its physically painful for him to smile due to jaw surgery.

 

[Stet]

He looks like he had a bad breakup with the cameraman and a week later noticed him at a party.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Damn, dude is awkward.

Hence his desperation to be accepted as a genius.

Well he is socially awkward you can see in almost all his videos he doesn't really know what to do with himself. He also is like the spokesperson for anti-paparrazzi I think a lot of celebrities who do like him is because they are on his side in that regard
