Sue's Smiling Experiment | The Middle

[@brettteply1207]

Sue’s teacher did say to do an original experiment. So she decided to do one based on her personality

[@lindabelcherluminals7703]

exactly and then he decides to mock her in front of class.

[@mt_cutecat8019]

Didn't mirror neurons somewhat prove this? Good for her!

[@stellastarring]

sue proved her theory, i smiled back at her. you gotta love her character, she's always realistically hopeful.

[@lindabelcherluminals7703]

4:18 his own smile proved that he was wrong to dismiss her, her experiment was a good psychological experiment not every psychological experiment has to be dark or depressing, Sue's experiment was out of the box so he mocked her. 3:53 Also, I loved the jab at him😂

[@Robert-hz9bj]

No, he was incredibly right to dismiss her. She provides no documentation of her methodology or data, her "experiment" conditions were extremely poorly carried out (lacking any kind of quantitative analysis, qualitative standards, or controls), and rejects the outcome of her own experiment results due to her own personal biases. Sue is terrible at science, and should have received a straight-up zero for this project.

[@mayrarojas9937]

The fact that she made the baby cry 😂😂😂😂

[@ajallen9674]

This is actually a psychological experiment. It's called the Chameleon Effect.

[@yashvardhanmaurya3372]

The teacher turns over a blank page 😂

[@o.h.8337]

🤣🤣🤣 Didn't even realise

[@leonie7190]

He didn't. There is text on it, but very small. Look again :)

[@Commander_Shepard.]

The one with the weird bird pfp is right. The top 1/4 of the page is empty but after that there are paragraphs of small sized text.

[@brettteply1207]

This was one of the few endings where someone other than Frankie narrated

[@Hiiiiiiiiiiilol]

it was her paper 😂 so makes sense lol

[@TheMpo1986]

I am either really stoned or I find this this extremely funny. Shes crying and smiling at the same time! She creeped out the waitress and made a baby cry. Way to go sue!

[@jetnut89]

I was not expecting that ending... pretty, pretty good.

[@DeniseKelley-xw9tz]

The great Roger Reese.

[@johnrainsman6650]

4:01 know that feeling: I have a learning disability and have been labeled slow and incompetent. My boss wouldn’t let me do a shift by myself, saying she didn’t think I could manage

[@TheMpo1986]

I have a disability from a car accident, and they made me a supervisor. My object permanence sucks so they frequently have to "point me" in the right direction but once I'm there I plow through any task, and I also smile constantly. Yeah, I don't know what happened I'm just always happy now.

[@Powwon]

ahh she's so precious

[@lindabelcherluminals7703]

ikr?

[@Robert-hz9bj]

Too bad she's still really, REALLY bad at science...

[@Mrmanatee47]

Bro she already proved her theory just by saying it out loud in class

[@The_Inferior_Retroman]

3:27 😂 my favorite part

[@pricemoore2022]

Sue's smile is cute and beautiful!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@Mr_Mustache_og]

🤨

[@musicviolamusician4392]

Or scary❤

[@Hiiiiiiiiiiilol]

​@@Mr_Mustache_og that's rude, the og comment was right!!!!

[@PatDK]

@@HiiiiiiiiiiilolI think the baby was correct

[@studiogillian]

i love sue!

[@patriciathangaraj1765]

No-one can beat the British when it comes to sarcasm.

[@TomPetty60]

The teacher sounded like John Cleese.

[@vuy3len]

her aggressive smiling killing me lmao

[@PatDK]

She’s a meatball lol

[@Dannyalien25]

2:14 I feel the same way if bokolor looks at me

[@jcqwater8713]

awww that's lovely

[@thewillofabeast9079]

I just think it’s hilarious and rich of her saying that the baby she smiled at was “unfriendly” when she gave the most forced, exaggerated and slightly creepy smile I’ve seen as I can remember.

[@pricemoore2022]

1:34-1:50 why is she crying????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@musicviolamusician4392]

He yelled at her😂

[@cherylschantz9893]

The teacher made her feel stupid.

[@croissantpower]

Put on your glasses and hearing aid then watch the clip and you’ll understand

[@Robert-hz9bj]

Because she's bad at, like, EVERYTHING...

[@BestOnThursdays]

Interestingly enough I have done this experiment for my middle school science fair where I learned you aren't allowed to do science on other humans... But it did lead me to baby handlers for movies where they make certain facial expressions to make the baby cry on demand or laugh when queued

[@SonoNariFiorewithGrace]

Doesn’t always work not everyone smiles back depending on their current emotions/ some didn’t notice that person’s smile

[@milagroslorenzo2138]

WHY DODS THIS MAKE ME CRY?

[@seanwebb605]

Sue is cray cray.

[@Littlecharlicrayon]

1:35 poor sue

[@pegasusgalaxy68]

The teacher sounds like the guy on the willy wonka original movie.... close your eyes and listen when he talks...sees it is eh

[@TheMpo1986]

Thats the bad guy from "Men in Tights" he got clobbered with a gauntlet he did! Would've been funny if Carey Elwes showed up.

[@blond009]

Oh I thought it was dr tanner from call the midwife

[@shernweilee5576]

Something tells me she aced that paper

[@EpicVideos2]

Clearly pushing forwards her own confirmation bias in the face of conclusive evidence to accept the null hypothesis. F.

[@MightyBiffer]

Except she had no null hypothesis.

[@katymvt]

@@MightyBiffer Her hyptothesis was "if you smile at somebody they will smile back." And then she continually smiled at people who did NOT smile back. Which is fine. The paper shouldn't have been graded on whether or not you were successful in proving your hypothesis, but in the scientific manner you went about to prove or disprove it and your accuracy in recording results. This is where her F comes in.

Main character syndrome 🤡

[@user-dh4mi6ir2m]

What song is @ 1:34?

[@lll-w]

Nat King Cole "Smile"

[@emryswalton1802]

Actually, it's the cover by Billy Daniels in F maj, not by Nat King Cole

When teacher turned page nothing was written on it .

[@RONELNAIDOO-qi1kk]

Sue really needs to grow up,brick to

[@lufflyness]

Isn’t smiling being contagious a thing? Kind of like yawning.

[@Xylarxcode]

2:02 Jesus Christ, Sue. Moderation! If I was that waitress, I'd be alerting the rest of the staff to 'that weird girl with the creepy smile at table 5' and telling them not to go to their cars alone that evening. And asking them to keep an extra eye on me while I was serving that table. That smile was downright terrifying.

[@raycenteno7698]

I will give her a B-.

[@massalleh5255]

B+

[@geekygalaxy4307]

Her essay's written like a damn speech. 0/10

[@ginablanshard8255]

❤❤❤

[@Robert-hz9bj]

Unfortunately, she'd still have to get an F. While she did explore a valid hypothesis (as well as a valid null hypothesis), she doesn't present any notes or documentation of her methodology or data. Also, her methodology is terrible, running her "experiment" without any kind of quantitative standards or controls. Likewise, she draws false equivalencies to other scientific ideas and rejects her own null hypothesis (i.e., that the evidence gathered suggests there is no measurable correlation between one person smiling and another) despite her own (admittedly poor) evidence showing that the null hypothesis is correct (and yes, I know that it IS an actual psychological phenomenon, but the point of this kind of project is to accept or reject a hypothesis based on the evidence YOU gather). Also, it did NOT take Einstein 10 years to "prove" E=mc^2. He published his paper on Special Relativity after 3 years working in a patent office, and while it would take some time for other to verify his work with empirical data, he demonstrated the principle was sound mathematically in the paper itself. Moreover, the point of science is not to prove something you believe is true. The point of science is to determine whether or not the evidence (empirical or mathematical) backs up an idea being true, and ultimately accepting or rejecting that idea based on what the evidence demonstrates (regardless of how much your personal preference is for said idea to be true). So, TL;DR, Sue is bad at science, general logic, AND history. That's some F level work right there...
