Uncanny

A feeling of distress, like when you see your super gaming house demolished by a tractor
Mr. Incredible: My super gaming house was destroyed by a tractor!
Guy: Damn, that's uncanny, man.

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.

uncanniness

uncanniness represents how disturbed someone is. It can be represented in phases, and the more uncanny someone is, the scarier someone's body looks like. Mr Incredible has the record for being uncanny for the most times. Phase 1 and below are at the "canny" stage, Phase 2 is neutral, Phase 3+ is uncanny.

Uncanny hillock

Opposite of the uncanny valley. When something's so hyperreal it looks like CGI or a video game

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.”

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.
