Inverted Celebrities -- The Game®

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

This is a game that utilizes the Inverted Image or Negative Image function on photoshop-esque software. Take a picture of a celebrity, invert it, and then post it here for all of us to guess.

Obviously, it's incredibly easy to cheat at this game. If you do peek with your photo program, please don't reveal it here. See how long it takes for you to guess the celebrity before resorting to such desperate measures.

Here's one to start with:

Good luck!

Pete Rose

Gordon Jump!

Maybe not.

You're next, Rock.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I would have known that sneer anywhere.

Here's #2:

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Fred D&rst? (#1)

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

oh we've moved on!

Leslie Neilson (#2)

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Yep -- your turn. (I expected this to be more difficult.)

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I would've guessed George Steinbrenner.

― Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

When I inverted it, I said "SHEMP HOWARD!"

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought it was Ted Rogers from 3-2-1

*does that Scary Mary Phones 4 U thing with the hand*

― C J (C J), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I was going to guess Donald Sutherland.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

While we're waiting for mcd, here's another one:

Jeremy Irons? (Not as sure on this one.)

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Looks like Irons to me too.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Here we go, I think this one is tougher:

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

why is this so hard?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:07 (twenty-one years ago)

not Kevin Bacon...

tom hanks

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I know, slocki. You're looking right at the person's face, and it's still disguised.

Who knew that we used color so much to identify people? When we're forced to look at wrinkles, eye-shapes, and ear-lengths, it gets so much more difficult.

(Except for Rock Hardy.)

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Mel Gibson?

― Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

That "Jeremy Irons" one looks more like Huey Lewis to me.

― Aimless (Aimless), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

That was Irons, and that was Hanks.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Well played, Amanda.

Johnny Depp?

Aw, I say anyone can guess. It's an exhibition, not a competition. Please, no wagering.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't worry, none of you are right.

Cate Blanchett

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:32 (twenty-one years ago)

But TEH ROCK HARDY is right! Using a black & white pic I think it made a lot harder.

Tori Amos.

dunst, easy!

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, that was too easy. (Dunst, but wow, she does look like Tori when inverted.) I can't think of anyone else who would really be hard to guess. On the upside, imagegoogling all these female celebs' names comes up with some interesting "fair use" fakes, whoo.

I've got to step away from this station with the photo program on it, but before I left, I couldn't resist this one:

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok, this one is pretty hard because 1) they're wearing sunglasses 2) it's small and 3) they look really generic, but they're BOTH famous.

Cameron Crowe and Kate Hudson?

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Cameron Crowe and...

Nancy Wilson? I don't know what she looks like.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Kenan, I figured it was Billy Bob or the Chris Cooper character from Adapdatation.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Yep -- Nancy Wilson!

― Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

That's not Screech, is it?

And I'm going to say that the last one from Leeeeeee is Rebecca Romjin-Stamos.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Paunchy! You shouldn't have. Screech?

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I cheated w/ both Kenan's last two, and I still have no idea who either is.

― Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

One of them isn't a famous person AT ALL. (ahem)

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Namely, the one that's me in a digital makeover wig.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

That still doesn't help. I don't know who you are! ; )

― Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I'm Amanda. I live in Chicago. That's my face in a digital wig. What more do you want to know?

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:48 (twenty-one years ago)

The first one is Siouxie Sioux. And I'm sorry, Amanda. :)

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Y'know, I thought it might be her (SS), but I couldn't tell.

Yeahyeah, you're forgiven, no harm done.

Ha. Good one, Brian.

(I cheated, so the game's still on.)

Henry Fonda?

― truck-patch pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Monday, 9 January 2006 03:10 (twenty years ago)

What do you, Rock? Stare at it for a minute and then look at a white wall?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Monday, 9 January 2006 04:13 (twenty years ago)

I think it's because I tinker around in Photoshop for a living (tho I wouldn't call myself a power user) -- I can kind of re-invert in my mind's eye. Also, w/Fonda, the lips, hair, and old-school fabric of his suit.

― truck-patch pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Monday, 9 January 2006 04:32 (twenty years ago)

But that last one totally had me fooled until I cheated.

― truck-patch pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Monday, 9 January 2006 04:47 (twenty years ago)

As soon as I inverted Henry Fonda, I said "I don't know who that is!" So I posted it.

That looks like Alf! Or an army drone from "Wizards".

― weather1ngda1eson (Brian), Monday, 9 January 2006 05:24 (twenty years ago)

Stare at the center of it for sixty seconds and then look at a white space.

There. There's your white space.

It looks like Charles Manson.
