I haven't had any luck finding my favorite t-shirts since sliding to this timeline and I miss them.
WHAT in the name of Nelson Bearenstein Mandela's monocle is this shit?
This can't be true. I don't think I've seen Bewitched since last millennium, but I guess I need to now.
Why you out there collapsing universes into this dumbest timeline?
The alternatives are worse. I'm from the werewolf universe, this one's better.
Are you crabs yet?
I'm from the universe where everyone has really really big dicks. So imagine my surprise when I get here and find your politicians and global leaders mostly have small dick energy, and they have no balls.
You guys have much better county fair food though. Have you ever had an elephant ear? Don't worry! No actual elephants were harmed in the making of this food. And it's much better than fresh cucumber on a stick.
I thought you meant the werewolves have great big dicks and I’m like “I’m on my way uwu”
I don't know... I may go werewolves on this.
You don't understand the true horror of the werewolf universe. Everyone is werewolves, so it's normal there. You can't call in sick because of lycanthropy, you still have to go to work. Nobody runs around in the woods when they transform because they can't afford to stay up late, and it's just normal boring old lycanthropy anyway. People take pills for it because it's just a hassle. It's totally ruined werewolves.
at least they are biologically immortal.
Did your werewolves always have jorts on when they transformed back into buff young men, or was that just my universe?
Well tbf, twitching your upper lip does make the tip of your nose twitch as well. If you have a retroussé nose like Sam, it's more obvious than with some other nose shapes. If you're 3, like Tabitha, you might have to push your nose with your finger as she cutely did. And you'll notice Endora spell-cast exclusively with her arms, as befit her dramatic nature. Sam did that too, but she knew how to channel her power through a discreet and surreptitious twitch in order to "pass" among mortals.
(Yes I have a similar nose and used to twitch along with Sam when watching as a kid)
What's the opposite of a retroussé nose? Looking sort of like a macaw?
Edit: found it, I think. Looks like it's called an aquiline nose. "Eagle like".
Similar: Twitching your ears is actually twitching the muscles at the back of your scalp which happens to make your ears move.
Doubt. I can twitch my ears, both horizontally and vertically, and the muscles that move them feel much closer than the back/top of the scalp, about two inches from their base.
Yes when you move a thing the muscle that moves it is not on the thing.
Just watched a compilation. Her nose doesn't move at all. I am flummoxed.
And now you can’t unsee it.
What's confusing me is that her nose doesn't even kind of move. Like, there's no illusion at play, it is literally just her lips moving. This is The Berenstain Bears all over again!
But when Samantha had her little baby Tabitha, and Tabitha grew up, Tabitha would use her finger to wiggle her nose.
Used to watch bewitched as a kid. Learned how to “wiggle” my nose just like Samantha. It is only the upper lip but peops believe it’s a nose wiggle if not informed of the scam.
Remember when Darren was a whole different person that year?
That’s when I fell in love with the TV Buffy the vampire slayer series. I remembered as a kid having a surreal sort of unease with the new Darren. When Buffy brought in Dawn, I felt so validated.
I'd say if you can move your nose without moving your top lip, you're not built normally.
I can wiggle both my nose and my ears without moving anything else
Tap for spoiler
Definitely not normal
I can but im definitely not built normally
Edit: for an explanation, i just pull the musscles to the sides of my nostrils "back" like the opposite of flaring your nostrils. It has the effect of pulling the whole tip of my nose up and down a bit while my surrounding face is still as stone
Is it because the opening credits show her only twitching her nose so we equate that to her in the live action scenes?
TIL that people thought it was just the nose.
I did.
I mean… 🤷🏻
To be fair, the show wasn't too popular here in Spain so it never got into popular culture.

At least I knew she was blinking!
I haven't watched bewitched since I was a little kid. This also exposes the lies of my childhood. I always looked at her nose because that's the claim is that she's twitching her nose so that's what you focus on. Now you've ruined my life because you told me to look at her upper lip. Thanks.
I'm so confused
I didn't grow up in the 60s or watching the show so maybe I just don't remember seeing her twitch her nose ever. I always thought it was some sort of a quick smirk she did when using her power.
Bearenstein was real. One of the first epiphanies I had wherein I fully questioned my parents' ineffability when they would not budge on the "correct" pronunciation —despite one of them growing up with German spoken in the house. This is personally my most resonant proof of multiple echoed timelines. 🫠
This post is giving my old ass anxiety. Please take it down.
I don't think there's a human on earth who can wiggle their nose without their lip muscles.
But if you go and watch, it turns out that she didn’t move her nose at all. Just her upper lip
Nah, her nose definitely moved. She does it twice in this clip and her nose moves both times. https://youtu.be/115T9BInGIc?t=198
Edit: To be clear I agree she's using her upper lip but it 'does' cause the nostrils to wobble side to side.
Welp I'm from this universe because she's always moved her upper lip for me.
Damn, that was a close one!
For a moment I though we were going to be told that Santa Claus doesn't actually exist.
Hey hey hey! Spoiler alert please!!
Welcome to the club of, literally, the billions of people who came before you
