can you analyze the 2014 aria award interview? that larry shit was wild lmao

You mean this one?

OH BOY ARE YOU READY FOR SOME READING INTO THINGS BECAUSE I'VE ANALYSED THIS FOOTAGE TO DEATH AND IT'S BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE I'VE LET THAT BRAINMONSTER ESCAPE (just found my own comment under that yt video yes *shame I commented things on youtube shame shh*) SO OH BOI OH BOIIII you probably don't even mean this one because there are a shitton of wild wild wiiillld larry interviews and I don't consider this one of them but still YES LET'S GO. under the cut because long:

Ok. Unpopular opinion incoming: Louis isn't whipped for the interviewer and Harry/Nialls reaction isn't laughing at that / not letting him talk for that reason. I mean he might as well be but that's not why they're behaving like that. Instead I think they're in some kinda stupidass game here because this is One Direction we're talking about and god forbid these weird lil we might be media trained but we're gonna find each and every way possible to mess with each other (oh god I didn't mean it like that but yeah ok that's a pun) especially while we're supposed to behave and here I think something like that is happening.

Liam is trying to not let Louis speak, Louis is trying to not let Liam speak, and Niall and Harry are trying to not let either of them speak. Why? Because 5 idiots? Because they're always playing secret lil subtle games or whateverthefuckthey'redoing? I kinda talked about this recently for other reasons but there's some good examples in there too. And Zayn's there just... signing away!? I don't know what's prompting one to say shit and why that's setting the other off because I mean obviously whatever this is the viewer isn't in on it. It's their inside joke. It seems to me that they're trying to get certain words in over the others or something? Maybe? I'm not sure.

Again so so so much credit to gif content creators, I'm not one of them. Have fun with this deepfried giffed footage:

0:00-0:07

What I think is happening here is that just before this segment they were probably being oddly specifically pushy about who stands where, and the interviewer's just breaking the silence asking them why and then what's on tape here is Liam/Louis trying to explain away to the not-in-on-their-silly-little-games-interviewer why they're behaving the way they are with some total bullshit. They're talking about who is standing where and I think Liam says "you know what he has to be in the middle he's [??standing out you know??]? That's the way it works." I can't tell if he's talking about Louis or Niall. Also note how Liam is physically keeping check/controlling Louis, which again makes me think they're in the middle of some bullshit competition game against each other here. Just a bunch of kittens playfighting but make it subtle alskdjalksjdla.

Then ~keep in mind they probably think the filming hasn't started yet as this is before the interview~ Harry is being an introverted relatable queen noticing something and wanting to change it but not doing anything about it and whispering whatever's bugging him to the closest person he's comfortable with that can fix it for him instead and that's Niall. Ok that's a lot of projecting but it's clear he's pointing something out, and Nialls reaction shows he's checking out whatever Harry is talking about immediately. And welp what Niall does is going for a full body scan of Louis. Sooooo yeah that gives a ton away. I watched this many times till I think I figured something out that makes enough sense to move on with my life. I think Harry comments on Louis' suit and how he has to unbutton his jacket. They've both shown to be that kinda boyfriend that's looking out for each other's appearances ("not sure about your fringe", covering each other [like literally blocking the view] when something's not fitting right etc) and he has decided Louis would probably look better if he'd fix his jacket... This because in the inaudiable part he might be mouthing "button" and it's what Nialls looking at as well (I'm trying hard here lol, trying to lipread istg I'm going DEEP here) then Niall instinctively wants to inform Louis, his left arm goes in for it but then changes his mind and fixes his glasses instead. It could also be that Nialls reaction isn't a body check but a reaction to Louis' hand flopping there tho and he's just looking a that instead but it looks like a scan to me lol. For Harry's second sentence to Niall I also kinda hear "don't let him speak" (which fits with the upcoming Harry urging Niall to answer the questions / not letting the others speak so aslkdjal) but really it could be anything as it's just a mumble. Anyway. Last we have Zayn who is just seeing it all unfold as usual. He's also possibly physically responding to whatever Harry just said, he mirrors what Niall seems to look out for? If that makes sense? He checks his own suit. And then there's the first self-first-bump which I still don't know what the fuck it is but it's definitely something he does loads in interviews and here he just keeps on going. But let's write it off as just a i-don't-know-what-to-do-with-my-hands-thing.

0.07-0.14

OK SO THEN the interview starts and again see Liam holding Louis in check here right, he grabs his neck and pulls on his hair. Louis goes in hard with "OH YEAH WE'RE REALLY EXCITED" and Harry just nearly pisses himself which looks familiar. And if there's anything you can take away from these idiots it's definitely that they'll sneak in a penny's joke anywhere and everywhere and maybe this is another one. But maybe it's not that. Or maybe it's both. Because both Liam and Niall are as on edge as Louis trying to jump in to answer here and they both get denied thanks to Louis' loudness.

0.14-0.21

The SHEER LEVEL OF ENTERTAINMENT on Harry/Niall from Louis being excited or Niall being denied to talk is just way way way too great for being just because of that alone. That's why I think it's a game. That's why I think Louis is playing it really well right here and they're all not letting each other talk and they're just that entertained by Louis' competitiveness.

0.21-0.28

And then we see Louis being really proud especially when Niall laughs that he just did that. He keeps checking all the boy's reactions and making a :> :>>>> face which like... did what exactly? And they all know he just did that and is doing it well and he's all happy and bouncy because he's just being great at whatever this lil menace behavior is. Then we got Zayn doing the lil self-fist-bump again wahtever the hell that is too. We also got Louis checking for Harry's reaction real quick a whole bunch of times which is cute af. Not to mention Nialls reaction to Louis' behavior is also checking for Harry's reaction which is perhaps even cuter af (and also sign no 2800003096 that yep they're so fucking married really look at Niall go oh this one did something lemme just check in with the other half yep they're one fking entity wbk)

0.28-0.35

And I just wanna highlight this frame real quick because 1) LOL but 2) my brain's just seeing fetus larry here and it is waayy too much to handle wtf me but 3) ziam is a wholeass other mood ASDASHK THERE'S 3 BRAINS HERE

So you see they're all trying to answer. At least all but Zayn. Check all of them one by one lol they're all trying to catch that mic. And I think Nialls maybe the most nervous playing along but he's doing it. You see Harry going "go go go" to Niall. And I think Louis' reactions here aren't him being a weird lil peacock meerkat interested in the interviewer but just very god damn competitive and way way too invested in this game asldkjal AND WHATS EVEN BETTER HERE IS LOUIS LETTING NIALL HAVE IT BECAUSE HIS MAN WANTS THAT MAYBE NOT EVEN CONCIOUSLY asdasfsdg actually look at both Louis and Harry being so worked up and in this and also the fking wiggly leggies ladksjalkj help.

Ok ok ok so I think at 0:40 Niall says "bruv". He's deadass calling the interviewer "bruv" and that might just be ~the game~ here? Like they're just being some pasty dorky gangsters? ????? Seriously go listen and see their reactions when he does it. Harry cracks the fuck up, Liam sees his life passing him by (??? Does that mean he lost?! Why is he the only one being this unentertained by it?), Louis goes for some Jim Halpert staring at the camera what about it moment, Harry cracks the fuck up again, Zayn laughs too, Nialls really trying to make it look like that came naturally to him.

The next time (0:49) the interviewer hands over the mic there's ALL OF THEM AGAIN trying to answer it. Again it's Louis being the most persistent shit. And Liams pretty aggressive with this one too lol (you gotta hear him go listen), then they crack up again at Louis using the word "bonkers", also hear both Niall and Zayn repeat the word as well.

Then there's a longass time where Louis just seems to not agree with what someone behind the camera is trying to tell him. He's making big eyes, rolling his eyes, shaking his head, saying no, like he's turning them down, going "no it's not" or something. It's subtle at first, starts around 1:01 and lasts until about 1:33

Ok I'm gonna stop here because that's 10 gifs and that means I'm out of space (couldve made this in another mode, didn't, oop) and there's just so much shit going on here and it's SO CHAOTIC. There's a whole thing with hammering on Niall doing an accent and Harry just keeps on repeating "so good" with an australian accent, and Niall absolutely looses is utter sheit when Harry says ~something~ presumably in that accent. And then the whole mess with the wheel? And how it ends? The CHAOS? It's great.
