Remember when elves were quite mysterious and lived in forests and had a rich folklore? Now its a fucking little crazy frog thing because harry fucking potter like.

That kid is scarily thin though.

It can't be her son because he doesn't even wear his underwear on his head.

[alan nagsworth]

actually crying with laughter at that video, funniest shit i've seen in ages

quite blatantly it's howard the alien

[BlodwynPig]

There was that gnome from argentina years ago, this is a poor attempt

RIP La Junta Goblin, star of Harry Potter

"My son was actually at Woking Pizza Express that night".

"He would never need to put underwear on his head, because he doesn't sweat"

[Thomas]

It is her son being weird, but he is also medically a goblin.

[Consignia]

We need to start an alliance.

[Icehaven]

Why is it a goblin and not an alien? Do aliens not dance? And also why, when we can now film the surface of the Sun in high definition, is so much CCTV still of such poor quality that it'd be useless for identifying burglars anyway?

Perfect video

Laughing hard

[Uncle TechTip]

I think the big clue to this mystery is that the goblin does a side to side motion whilst walking that very much looks like a human mocking a goblin rather than an actual goblin.

Remove the underwear from atop his bonce and it's clearly:

Why would an alien be coming from inside the house?

[Replies From View]

Why would an alien be coming from inside the house?

Maybe it needed to leave the house somehow?

Doorless wardrobes to blame

Imagine being as thick as that woman, or the man who says we need to form an alliance. I've just been delirious from an infection for 3 days, and am starting to wonder if people like that are basically living out one long delusion.

There's often an assumption that thickos have it easier overall, that they're not afflicted with anything like existential angst or paralysed by overthinking everything and just shlep through their lives in bovine contentment, blissfully unaware of anything past the end of their own nose.
This is the flip side of that theory, as if a youtube video of a child with pants on it's head prompts you to feel confusion, wonder and fear, the world at large must be a truly terrifying place stuffed full of mysterious potential threats. You'd never  sleep at night.

These are my favourite 'weird shit caught on CCTV creatures' .
Probably just puppets or something on stilts or something. But i read somewhere that attemps had been made to recreate the scene using puppets and it didn't work. Or something.

I've watched this video too many times now. That chicken dance bit is perfect.

If I've had a really bad viral infection for a few days I afterwards think that must be what it's like to be thick

I've seen another video of those from the same place (Fresno) which was later debunked as people on stilts wrapped in white silk.

I'm sorry to break it to you but you're still delirious and everything posted above actually just concerns a story about a cat falling down a well. Go back to bed until this blows over.

[chveik]

who said that goblins can't dance

[idunnosomename]

racism is alive and well.

Occam's razor (also Ockham's razor or Ocham's razor: Latin: novacula Occami; or law of parsimony: Latin: lex parsimoniae) is the problem-solving principle that states that "Entities should not be multiplied without necessity."[1][2] The idea is attributed to English Franciscan friar William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), a scholastic philosopher and theologian who used a preference for simplicity to defend the idea of divine miracles. It is sometimes paraphrased by a statement like "the simplest solution is most likely the right one". Occam's razor says that when presented with competing hypotheses that make the same predictions, one should select the solution with the fewest assumptions,[3] and it is not meant to be a way of choosing between hypotheses that make different predictions.

So, with my philosophy hat on[nb]True fact - weekender actually has been to university where he studied PPE, which he rates in the order of 1,3,2[/nb], I consider the following:

1. The woman says it is absolutely not her son messing around in his underpants in their driveway

So we have to discount this premise, as it is based on the empirical observation of what is surely a reliable and trustworthy witness.

With this being ruled out, we have to consider other options.

2. It is actually a goblin

So there it is.

Utilising the 'Occam's Razor' approach, I am left with no other option other than to reasonably and rationally conclude that this is actually a goblin.

I think I saw something similar but I thought it was hard to replicate and the stilts thing was just a possibility rather than it being debunked?

Decent analysis, but allow me to correct you.

There are two possible answers to the mystery of this video. First, that it is the woman's son messing about with underpants on his head in their driveway. Second, that it is a goblin. Dialectic materialism dictates that either of those premises alone is likely to be an accurate description of the world. The only possible solution in this situation is that the truth lies somewhere in the middle, ergo:

It was a goblin messing about with the woman's son's underpants on its head in their driveway.
