Life

The Most Trippy Airline Safety Video In Existence

by Kat George

I'm sorry for doing this to you. What you're about to see is very strange and creepy. And if I can't unsee something, it's only right that everyone in my path should also be subjected to it. We're on this rollercoaster called "life" together, after all. Australian comedian Xavier Michelides swapped his face with everyone on an airline safety video for Qantas. I know what you're thinking: "Calm down, that's not that weird." But just wait until you see a bearded man's face on a woman's body, talking with a woman's voice.

The Melbourne based comedian (who is now performing at the Melbourne International Comedy festival, if you happen to be in Melbourne and completely taken by his amazing face swapping humor sensibilities) seems to be really into Face/Off style video antics, with his YouTube channel revealing a host of other terrifying facial impositions. I'm thinking maybe he's secretly part of some opposite Faceless Man thing, where he's every man's face instead, and some weirdo like Jaqen H'ghar is whipping him into being "someone" rather than "no one". Or maybe I've just been watching too much Game of Thrones, and if anyone wants to talk about the finale, get at me ASAP. Meanwhile, it seems a man must become everyone, before he can become someone:
