this is what the quiet kid is doing in the corner
Indeed
correct
You mean back at the corner. Yeah one of the things I like doing is eavesdropping on the convos of strangers while checking on their body movement while they're saying something. You'd find a lot of interesting truth and also a good way to understand their personalities and use that as a tool to make them see never to mess with you if they don't want to have a past to remember how miserable they are 😼
@Daniel B. people usually don’t mess with me but I’m just bored of doing nothing, so this is more entertaining
True i did it alot as a kid
Imagine having this guy as ur dad and u lie about where you were and he’s like “nope Ik ur lying ur foot was pointing North west”
Lmaooo
And it was the flowers
😅😂
North West is not lying, is defensive, they have to point 45 degrees each and one of them must point opposite of Meca to be a lie.
Or you learn how to become a real good liar. Lol
guys just remember: if they are sticking a gun at you, they probably don't like you.
Only 18+ 👇👇👇 🔞

usually. sometimes its because they like you.
🤣
Or maybe they really need your money 💰😃👍🏽!
True... But what if they just like you a lot and want guaranteed affection?
So here's the thing to remember: when you buy a dozen roses, ask the florist to wrap them in two bunches of six. Then carry one bunch blossums-up and the other bunch blossums-down. This is to let the FBI know you are a double agent.
Good one! LOL
Im dead hahahahahah
Tie flowers to your head. They think its a hat. You walk away.
Hold them sideways, they hate that.
Hmmm... "blossums", eh? That's how a Russian would spell it...
This guy's body language tells me that he is uncomfortable with this interview and that he is withholding information.
And he is too tall for that seat.
Deliberate posturing. So what does that say about someone?
Or maybe that’s what he wants us to think. 🧐
He’s not withholding anything, he wants you to buy his book to get all of the information.
definitely withholding information!
His kids will become the ultimate liars.
Aka better spies
Either that or very honest people
litrely
So basically just say and do nothing if this guy tries to talk to you. Pretend your a mannequin...
Lol
Hahaahaha
That’s why you never ever go into questioning without a decent lawyer. 70% of their leads come throughout questioning. If your in problem take a lawyer and refuse to answer anything
🤣🤣🤣
But doesn't foot and hand suddenly stopping indicating that you feel a great emotion?(perhaps negative)
Him: "People blink 8 times a minute"
Him again: blinks much more than 8 times in a single minute
Me: I USED YOUR OWN SPELLS AGAINST YOU
Guy: Sneezes in Russian
FBI: Write that down, write that down.
Ah, ahhhhh, AHHHHHHH... BLYAT!!
excuse me comrade
🤣🤣🤣
Him: "People blink 8 times a minute"
Him again: blinks much more than 8 times in a single minute
Me: I USED YOUR OWN SPELLS AGAINST YOU
god his children must’ve had such a hard time lying to him
do u like ur present.........yes dad....
His children already learn to faked body language
Imagine if they lied
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
People like him don't have kids
me with adhd: always moving and fidgeting just bc of my disorder
fbi agent: she's sus.
Lmao
The girls outfit in the poker game switched. Hire me FBI.
I noticed too. They gave no explanation. She was hot Btw. That would be a distraction during the game.
@Lyr Gil same here
OMG. This is like that show on NATGEO. Mental games I think.
didnt she have a beige jacket on that she took off to reveal the black sweater?
I was wondering if anyone else caught that 😂
Someone: blinks
FBI: that’s how they blink in the south of Greece
Little does he know about Indians and our misleading head shakes
lol!
Lol
😂😂😂😂
Hahajajajaja
Haha
Someone: breathes
FBI: now stop right there. That's how they breathe in eastern Europe. You're a spy.
@Leonardo i carry flowers like that because of one simple thing, i feel like i am offering them to everyone stood in front of me if i hold them up, also holding them backwards completely eliminates the chance of some arrogant muppet walking into you and crushing them.
@Leonardo the stems don't break as easily in windy weather...
Lol
@Leonardo Oh no I have a shocking confession to make. I have been cruelly carrying flowers the wrong way up all my life!
@Sarah Strong how horrifying
The most FBI thing about this, is the FBI trying to seem accessible and friendly.
I’m so misleading, this guy couldn’t read me out of a paper bag
"Blink rate is 8 times per min"
Me - blinks 9 times in 5 sec to prove him wrong
This man’s daughter’s pooor boyfriend... “so Chris, how was prom night with my daughter?” 👁👁
🧿🧿
Its was a "hard one"
👁👄👁
Awkward!!!! LOL 😂
It was rough.
Me: shakes hands with him
Him: you're a virgin
@Yiran She's an erotic tomato. Look at the profile name. LOL
F
@bluegreenplanet89 its too strong
I am dying at the comments 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Secret tip:-If someone scratches their nose it's probably itchy.
I carry flowers upside-down, because THEY STAY FRESH LONGER.
Where’s the evidence for that?
@SRN1850AN Oh, you got me, Superspy! I'm really an Eastern European operative!
How do they take into consideration such a thing as arthritis. For instance, he talks about crossing the arms as a "self hug", but I have a bad shoulder and will often sit that way because if I let that shoulder hang, it starts to hurt. I also have arthritic knees, and if I sit in one position too long, the knees start to hurt, so I'm constantly shifting them. Is this shiftiness read as "this guy's nervous and hiding something" when all it really means is "my knee hurts"? The shifting and moving around because of pain or soreness is a conscious movement, with the thinking being, "my knee hurts, so I'll put it this way", but for it to actually mean something more, through non-verbal communication, the movement has to be subconscious. At least, that's the way it seems to me. But I'm no expert.
Achy joints, eh? Nice try, Dimitri, we know it's because you're a spy.
I’m assuming they take into account your general demeanour or facial expression, for example if you’re moving because you’re in pain you might show your discomfort on your face. Or they watch you walk and see that you have knee problems.
6:58 F.FBI : when they cross their foot means they are threaten by the question...
Crosses his feet...
What is going on....
Imagine being unable to lie to your parents cause they catch spies for a living.
**call mum “is there something you need to tell me??”
@Nata Study because all parents lie to their children, that's just straight up fact , Santa claus, Easter bunny , Allah , all cultures lie to kids , hence the kids lie back , we reap what we sow
Lucas R well don’t, usually your parents will want best for you 😔 at least while living under their roof... the lack of mutual respect between kids & parents in the West is so problematic to me. i think that’s where I really do admire the filiality and discipline of (most) immigrant parents & black parents.
Just cause we wanted to go see a concert with friends..lol..poor kids
ez, become better spy
Fbi agent: you're gonna cross your arms in the cinema
everyone in 2020: what's a cinema?
"Handshaking is both necessary and essential in most cultures."
Welp, Corona screwed us all.
🤢🤢🤢😷😷😷😷😬😬😬🙄🙄🙄🙄
Man: Breathes
F.B.I guy: Aha, that's how they breathe in Western Europe.
lmao
He said “us humans” bruh what else is there?
Aliens, lizard people, Mark Zuckerburg, the list is endless.....
When a fist lands in someone’s face that body language tells me that they don’t like each other.
Sara Sprinkle Me too. But after decades of empirical experimenting I found out its not! Imagine my surprise...
lmaoo ya think? lol
Man of Mayhem I’m dead 😂😂😂😂😭😭💀
Nice Joke hahah got laughs ñ
if they avoid the nose and teeth, it means they like them
So when being interrogated... Sit perfectly still and limit blinking.
That's even worse
That's so sus
@Rhys Malavioson But then guys like this won't be able to read your body language. Also, sarcasm.
imagine playing among us with this guy
This man: we blink 8 times per minute
Also this man: blinks 8 times within 7 seconds 8:00
we blink 20-30-40 / min
when u play games or wtach movies u don't blink at all - and there start's problem -
Wish the FBI would do something about this.
Here is what sounds like a quid-pro-quo. This should make everyone upset.
https://youtu.be/7lA3oOo1oZc
criminals watching this: write that down, write that down!
This blew tf up
@MY NIKON MEMORIES yeah Me let's do it
😂
@Hid Ts what is there something wrong with being American? It is looking like people on here are judgmental person and that doesn't make you a good person to be a saying anything against another country that you probably know nothing about and that is why you need to learn when to shut up and don't start but stop being the person who you are right now because it will get you no where in life but you won't believe that until you show yourself and others will not want anything to do with someone like you are acting like you are condescending and rude and much more but I don't know you so l can only say what you are showing the real you.
*literally anyone
😂😂😂
Me- drinks water
FBI AGENT- That is how they drink water in Manhattan, 5th Avenue
ahkaman vijay didi ta pa ikaw natad-an HAHHAHAHAHAHA
😂😂😂😄😄
“How we walk has meaning” jokes on u I’m paralyzed
RocsMacho1 can u walk at all? Like do u have fake legs?
Omg I'm so sorry for you. No diagnosis yet? It's crazy.
@Caitlin Just realized you were being serious 😔😬
@Caitlin yeah I make copejokes too. Sorry u got paralyzed. I was watching a video where a girl who did ballet suddenly got paralyzed. I forget what her condition was, something myelin related? Well she regained some mobility. Her right arm works and I think she can move her legs... I hope u get a diagnosis.
Edit typos
@Mia Smith I do have transverse myelitis but I most likely will never walk again my spine was way more damaged but I hope I walk again their was no cause to my TM
Never heard anyone say: "I was a normal agent for the FBI" :-)
that is a dam good point.
Because their stories are likely not worthy of telling? Most FBI agents are just office workers you know.
well that’s because if your an agent in the FBI, than your a Special Agent. There are no “normal” agents.
@Kaley Roberts then why they are called "special" in they all speial ?
@Sak Maidik That’s just the title. Nothing else to it
When he talks about self-soothing it makes me feel love for people. Aw.
:3
😃
Everyone gonna go to school tomorrow thinking they an fbi agent
School? I haven't heard that word for 2 months
i guess i am just going to observe my cat's body language since it's quarantine and i can't go to school. oh well…
jokes on you, i don't have school tommorow
i was already planning on it it’s 2am n thursday tm 😭😭
ROFL!!!! but wait ......what's a school ?
me with adhd: always moving and fidgeting just bc of my disorder
fbi agent: she's sus.
Joe: Mentions blinking once
Me: Starts blinking uncontrollably
I zoned out and missed most of what he said
That guy Joe, sits in a weird way - his legs in a noticeably unusual position.
Even for a tall guy. I wonder what that signifies?
*We blink 8 times a minute*
Everyone: *Suddenly blinks many times*
“How we walk has meaning” For example, if someone has a limp, there is a chance they are injured.
😂😂😂.. looks like it😜
@Oracle O' Delphi eep. That's the rapid shuffle of terror lol
Omg wow 😨 how would they know that
😂😂😂😂
HahahHahah.
I'm an introvert so when in public I always touch my face either
Cover my mouth or nose it helps me be a bit less nervous
This makes me happy about the masks now too
The arm crossing thing....I've always said that. I cross arms in a movie theatre so I don't touch my neighbour's arms for example.
I cross them when I'm cold.
Going out of the house like Sherlock Holmes after watching this
His kids will become the ultimate liars.
