I have a flew (update: flu). It’s so hard doin’ anything while being sick. I’m like a walking zombie. I’m dizzy, sleep all day, but am not able to fall a sleep. Can’t read, can’t watch TV, everything I see looks like this. My head hurts when I try to talk or listen to someone. You wouldn’t believe how hard was it for me to stand up and write this post. I’ll report more when I feel a little better. Really hope this flu doesn’t last standard week. Enough whining. For today, it was simplest to post this “Awareness Test” sent in by Guilherme de Jesus. This is what Guilherme wrote, god knows when (sorry for such a delay G.): “Hi! First I would like to say your site is great, I check it everyday for new illusions :) This illusion is an advertising that i saw in a blog from Brazil (but wasn’t created there) and I laughed a lot with it, so I thought I could share with you. Thanks and keep the great job.”

That is awesome! Same goes for opportunities.
Get better from your flu (not flew) because you can’t be feeling blue.
HaHa. Lame joke. Whatever. Cool. I mean hot. Or not. Whatever. I’m getting the flu too. Can you tell?
I can
The word is “flu”, not “flew”… it’s short for influenza. “Flew” is a verb… past tense of “to fly”.
This is ooolllldddddd……
ROFL
That was hilarious.
Though I’m not sure if it counts as an illusion.
Hope You get better soon!
simply marvellous!
hope you’ll feel better soon.
nice one….
got the number right but completly missd that stupid bear
keep up th gud work
Good One.
In the sirit of “awareness”, “flew” is “flu”. ;)
btw, feel better soon. ;)
Awesome
Absolutely amazing! Had to see it twice before I recognized the bear :-)
The flu lasts like 2 weeks buddy..get well soon
Woot! Very funny!
I really missed it!
haha thats funny.
woohoo first comment
Good one! I’ve seen quite the same test on a Swedish TV show (Hjärnstorm, meaning ‘brain storming’). I completely overlooked the monkey that time, but naturally spotted the bear right away this time :-)
I hope you will feel better, very soon…

I have seen similar things before so I noticed the odd thing in the background quite quickly.
Really good… I didn’t see it the first time
omg dat is nice
Haha Lmao i did not see that at all…..i thought they added it in the second time……..but then i replayed it and omg haha
Hehe.. But I’ve seen a better version of this. In that version, the bear walked very near to the camera, but you still didn’t notice it.
wow that got me!!!and this site is cool!
Am I blind? I dob’t see any bear, no matter how many times I watch this :(
Seen it:) but i wasn’t too impressed with this particular one as i had already seen a better version of the same thing on Brainiac a long while back – which is where im sure this advertisement got the idea from!:) heh:P… – Someone did it before Brainiac though but i’m not sure who :) some people doing an experiment of 400 people.
They did a whole lot of things in one episode and where at the end, after they did this certain piece/sketch, they mentioned alot of other things that were ‘mistakes’ in the episode ;) it was good,

^ this video contains everything i just mentioned. (including another little possible surprise at the end :P)
LOL!! That is so funny!!
:(! I still dont see the bear !
Where&when?!
testemony to the power of suggestion! I saw it first time bu because of the picture on top i thought it was the grim reaper
hahahha. totally missed it.
Yes, I saw the moonwalking bear :O
not only did i miss the bear, i was also off by one pass!
What does the picture at the top have to do with this?
I hope you get well soon =D
I saw something like this with a gorrilla at a psychology seminar at NYU a few years ago. It got me the first time ;)
That’s awesome! I watched it twice, just to make sure the bear was there the first time, because I completely missed him. This makes a great point since I almost get hit by cars every day, even when I’m walking.
Oh my god this is amazing
It is hilarious
Saw this already, along with the rest of a whole DVD.
omg thats awesome. GO MOONWALKING BEAR!!!
lolzz there switching BALLS
wow i failed there moonwalking bear awareness thing!!!
lolololololololololololololololololololol
This is on Takashi Castle btw the play it every episode (new one each time)
when i saw it passing by i thought it was the grim reaper then i heard the announcer and i was like ooh its a bear yeah i see it now=P
i didnt see no moonwalking bear! u didnt tell me too look for no moonwalking bear! stupid test. ask me to look for a moonwalking bear and ill look for the stupid moonwlking bear. you’d think if someone was aware thre ws gonna be a moonwalking bear thy’d say somwthing. jeez….by the way, i still dont see no effin moonwalking bear and ive been watching this vid over and over….. ahole
Frank: I was there, I assure you. Look again.
And the whole point of the test is that the user, when asked to focus all their attention on a task, doesn’t notice something as obvious as a moonwalking bear passing by the screen. Test works perfectly.
