Get the uncat mug.First theorized by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970, the Uncanny Valley basically states that the closer a robot or other nonhuman entity gets to resembling a human, the more humans will like and empathize with it.
However, there is a point in development where humans instead become strongly repulsed by the barely-human robot/entity. Fortunately, this effect fades as the robot/entity becomes less distinguishable from a human.
Although hotly debated, the theory is present in many sci-fi movies and the like, and has been used to explain people's reactions to some computer generated characters.

I can't get into "Rumble Roses" because the girls just don't look quite right to me. I guess it's the Uncanny Valley at work.

Get the Ad undas mug.Mr. Incredible becoming uncanny is a meme containing dark humor involving a Pixar character "Mr. Incredible". The meme contains Mr. Incredible's face, getting unhappier (also known as "getting uncanny") and darker as the background music becomes more disturbing. Fans of the meme claim there are 10 phases in the original version.
There is an extended version of the meme, which contains over 22 phases. The extended version contains graphical imagery which may not be suitable for young children.
Then there is "Mr. Incredible becomming canny" which is the exact oposite of the original meme. The meme still involves Mr. Incredible, this time he is becoming happier (or "canny"), which contains 10 phases.
The full extended meme contains all three versions of the meme; original uncanny, extended uncanny and canny.
