Uncanny Valley

The Uncanny Valley is a feeling of mixed emotions, like disgust and familiarity at the same time. Like feeling love and hate at the same time, with little in between. People with certain personalities can evoke uncanny valley feelings, people with narcissism, or certain mental health conditions that have a duality to them, can evoke feelings of sympathy and contempt at the same time. It can be expressed mathematically as a reverse bell curve.
The Uncanny Valley of Narcissism is that the person is simulatenously charming and cruel, affectionate and withholding, super fun, yet boring, opinionated, yet stands for nothing. Because you never know if you're getting jekyll or hyde, the target feels an uncanny valley of emotions.

Uncanny Valley

/ʌnˌkæn.i ˈvæl.i/ noun.

A cognitive phenomenon identified by robotics professor Masahiro Mori in 1970, the 'Uncanny Valley' effect is an inverted bell curve signifying a general tendency of humans to experience less affinity for mechanical objects as their appearance, movements, and sounds approach human resemblance as a robot. This decline in affinity becomes discomfort because as the machine more approximates a human body and head, and peaks where the face most accurately resembles a human face while the expressions it is programmed with, not being as intricate or precise as real human expressions, create a more 'alive but inhuman' impression.
As the physical appearance, movements, expressions, and vocalizations of the robot begin to more approximate those of a human, that 'creep factor' declines until the human form, face, movements, expressions, and vocalizations (and perhaps scents, breathing patterns, and pulse) is replicated by the robot at which point human discomfort with the robot would, theoretically, vanish.
"I just met Ron DeSantis and shook his hand. It was so cold and clammy. All my hairs stood on end and I was shaking because the uncanny valley feeling he gave me... dude, I need a drink. He's not real. He's just... he's not human. No soul.... no soul... no soul. Let's get that drink. Dude? Dude, what are you looking at? Why aren't you looking at m...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! OH GOD NO! YOU'RE RON DESANTIS!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH......."

"Honey?" *Shaking him* "Honey, wake up!"

*Waking up* "Whu... whu? Omg, baby... it was just a dream. I was with Brad and we just met Ron Desantis, and he had this wicked strong uncanny valley vibe... and then... and then Brad was Ron DeSantis.... I..."

"Shhhh honey, it's okay. It was just a dream. I'm here now."

"Is that Dozer under the covers with us?"

"Yeah honey." *too Dozer under covers* "Hey Dozie! Who's a good boy! See honey? It's Dozer."
*Throws cover off*

"Hi Buddy! I'm Ron DeSantis and I eat children.... 's textbooks. I mean meet, uhhh. oh, 'yeetie'. I 'yeetie' children's..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" -but forever.

Uncanny Plains

A cognitive and emotional discomfort triggered by speech or behavior that is superficially normal but subtly fails to follow expected human logic, timing, or cooperation—especially in dialogue.
When the voice assistant kept dodging my question with slightly off replies, I got that creepy Uncanny Plains feeling.

Uncanny Polite

adj.

That eerie feeling when someone’s politeness is so unnervingly perfect and mechanical, it sets off your internal alarms. It’s the kind of fake niceness that feels like a mask hiding something darker—too smooth, too rehearsed, like a polite robot lurking just beneath the surface. When someone’s uncanny polite, you don’t just feel uneasy—you instinctively brace for manipulation or hidden intentions.
“I don’t trust her—she’s always so uncanny polite, like she’s planning something behind that smile. It feels like a trap somehow.”

Mr. Incredible becoming uncanny

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.

Peter: "Yeah me too!"

Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny and Canny at the Same Time

This is like the fusion sequel of the meme Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny where Mr. Incredible progressively becomes more and more traumatized and ascends simultaneously, which can lead to him becoming potentially insane both inside and outside the mortal realm and the universe itself.

The meme has reached the point where people fusing the same level of phases of 2 versions of Mr. Incredible Becoming ??? Memes combined to uniquely milk the meme. This form of the Mr. Incredible meme is only used in template-like formats.
Has the meme died yet?

Nope, there's Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny and Canny at the Same Time, giving more people ideas to uniquely milk the meme
