That's more of a "Oh god she's dead" or a "Found her with another turtle" face.

Source: I am a turtle face expert.

[–]usually_sarcasm 152 points153 points ago

Your expertise is awesome.

Source: I am an expert expert.

[–]ImStuuuuuck 10 points11 points ago

not sure if sarcastic...

[–]ajgator7 16 points17 points ago

He is, because I'm totally a sarcasm expert...

[–]LuckWillows 2 points3 points ago

Nonsense. You, sir, are no John Hodgman.

[–]Zepfur199 0 points1 point ago

Not, Bad

[–]Wyliekat -3 points-2 points ago

You may be an expert in expertise, but can you claim expert status in establishing others expertise in awesomeness? I do not think so, sirrah. I do not think so.

[–]ponyrojo 3 points4 points ago

Wait, that's Wally Sirrah, American test pilot, United States Navy officer, and one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts?

It's an honor to meet you

[–]Wyliekat 3 points4 points ago

I really want him to look like this:

[–]Legit_GFX 1 point2 points ago

Good job, sir. Source: Expertice expert expert.

[–]dollardraptor 3 points4 points ago

An intriguing expertise

[–]omartv 11 points12 points ago

or like Psy screaming at her shell

[–]hamsterdam83 3 points4 points ago

As a turtle face expert, can you definitively state whether or not the turtle in "Finding Nemo" was in fact high? Motivation: I am a turtle narc.

[–]BigBrandon 5 points6 points ago

Totally dude.

[–]Ninjatertl 0 points1 point ago

Tell me about my face than Mr. Expert.

[–]Satans_pro_tips 0 points1 point ago

But you're a fucking ninja!

poof

See? Gone again!

[–]Carlos_Sagan -1 points0 points ago

I may not be a turtle expert, but I like turtles.

[–]ImStuuuuuck 0 points1 point ago

Dat name!

[–]AgentMaxPower 1 point2 points ago

Looks like the engineer from tf2 to me

[–]MisterFaxSender 0 points1 point ago

Nope.

[–]Hajile_S 0 points1 point ago

Enh, more like this.

[–]toThe9thPower -2 points-1 points ago

I have you tagged as a turtle face expert and I hope this leads to rather confusing interactions down the road when I cannot remember what the fuck I made the tag for.

[–]The_Jacko -3 points-2 points ago

Teach me your ways, dear turtle-face-knowing one!

[–]EpicRageGuy 142 points143 points ago

her shell was so mad

[–]jbenz 34 points35 points ago

Whoa. Reference.

[–]boom929 23 points24 points ago

Yay, I get this reference.

[–]Idzuna 74 points75 points ago

I imagine it sounding like an air raid siren

[–]onion_cutting_champ 28 points29 points ago

Or a piercing scream.

[–]Seakawn 54 points55 points ago

I think I've seen this elsewhere in nature by another species. It's nice to know that life is consistent with all its variants.

[–]jakfischer 1 point2 points ago

Or a train whistle

[–]EpicJ 0 points1 point ago

More like a rubber chicken

[–]SweetknuckleJunction 2 points3 points ago

I imagined it to sound more like this.

[–]I_FUCK_SHARKS_ 1 point2 points ago

I tried my best.

[–]420wasabisnappin 0 points1 point ago

Thank you for making me choke on my coffee.

[–]TheBlueSpirit 12 points13 points ago

Anyone have a video link? It really looks like some VFX. The turtle moves so quick + the zoom-in and blur seems like something you'd see in a trailer or something.

[–]tg989 3 points4 points ago

Totally fake, you can tell when they over-do the "shakey-cam auto-focus lag".

case in point

[–]Borgh 102 points103 points ago

looks like a korean turtle (for the herpers here: yeah, I know its not. Its a joke.)

[–]titan413 29 points30 points ago

DAAAAAAMMNNNN

[–]Borgh 7 points8 points ago

I love this

[–]dieli 0 points1 point ago

awesome

[–]HigherFive 32 points33 points ago

I think the proper term is "herpetologists", sir.

[–]Borgh 12 points13 points ago

look at the sidebar ;)

[–]HigherFive 1 point2 points ago

I see, I see. Upon further research, it seems both are correct terms.
Cheerio, good sir!

[–]Borgh 2 points3 points ago

upvotes all around for a civilized disagreement!

[–]HigherFive -2 points-1 points ago

PENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENIS

[–]Redequlus 0 points1 point ago

I thought you were discussing terms for retarded redditors. I guess that's 'derpetologists'?

[–]latchee 3 points4 points ago

Seriously though, If someone gave the turtle a cool pair of shades and then flipped the gif? Well, it really would be magic.

[–]fall_ark 36 points37 points ago

I don't have shades but here goes nothing

[–]DforDavo 2 points3 points ago

This is perfect.

I think shades would just kill that glorious penetrating look on its eyes. Just imagine PSY with that turtle's eyes instead of his shades. Do it.

If I never see the word "Dat" again it will be too soon.

I am coming up on year 3 of reddit and cant stomach 80% of the overused wording here

Yet I am still here

[–]success_whale 3 points4 points ago

Dem scutes

Funny hearing that from someone who has used reddit literally 12x more than me.

Don't complain about reposts.

I think it is the unwritten top comment. I thought that was the whole point of this post.

0/10 was disappointed.

[–]Foreall 0 points1 point ago

Oh my glob them t-lumps

[–]Divamuffin 0 points1 point ago

Do those shells look severely pyramided to anyone else?

[–]Scratchyscratch 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a map and a slider, the slider may be a little but young turtles do change shape a good bit. The map on the other hand looks ok to me, when I got mine he had similarly spiked ridges, which slowly dulled as he grew into his shell.

[–]yeraveragejoe 1 point2 points ago

Oh, GURRRRRRLLLL dat shell look gooooooood!

The sudden zoom-in reminds me of The Office / Parks and Rec.

I wish Psy would see this.

[–]sangai 0 points1 point ago

i was thinking mind = blown!

[–]tg989 1 point2 points ago

I love how the way they try to make fake video's unfake (shaking around, zooming in and having the autofocus bug out a bit) makes it look super fake. lol.

[–]trennerdios 0 points1 point ago

Hate to be that guy, but that turtle is likely suffering from pneumonia or another similar condition, and is having trouble breathing. It's possible it's doing it for another reason, but I had too many baby turtles die of pneumonia to be optimistic about it.

[–]Tiredpenguin 1 point2 points ago

:(

[–]O_Muircheartaigh 0 points1 point ago

I was hoping for a sexy pic of the girl ninja turtle.

[–]Shock_Hazzard -1 points0 points ago

That turtle needs some nutrients. That is an extremely tented shell...

[–]engagechad 6 points7 points ago

It's a Map turtle, this is natural.

Check out Black knob and pearl river map turtles, it's even more pronounced.. and pretty!

[–]Buckbeak69 2 points3 points ago

Looks like it has a Gömböc shaped shell, which helps turtles flip back over when upside down

[–]quimm-ninja 0 points1 point ago

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

do turtle have sex?

[–]YouStupidCunt 2 points3 points ago

No. Turtles reproduce when their shells 'sheds' small fragments. Each piece of shell then grows by absorbing nutrients in the air. The shell fragment grows and acts as a cocoon. As the shell absorbs more nutrients it uses this energy to form a new turtle within the shell. Six weeks later the new turtle emerges from the shell.

I hope this clears things up.

[–]manlydishwasher 0 points1 point ago

I love reading your responses, and adding your name at the end, outloud.

[–]Borgh 0 points1 point ago

look it up on youtube. Short answer: yes and it is hilarious.

[–]DreadPiratesRobert -1 points0 points ago

Well you see when one turtle loves another turtle very much... They get married and have turtle babies

How else would they reproduce? Every animal has sex.

[–]Cognosis5 0 points1 point ago

My learnings tell me that tortoise has been overfed, and consequently has a pyramid shaped shell

[–]HMSuperb 0 points1 point ago

Is that true? Because I have a tortoise now (not even a year old) and his shell is very nice and round...I'd like to avoid him getting a malformed shell

[–]Cognosis5 0 points1 point ago

Perhaps. Consult a turtle expert

[–]MrStrangelove44 0 points1 point ago
