As any doctor will tell you, there is still so much that we don’t know about the human brain. What is it made out of? Who is in charge of it? How many brains does each person have? (I’m not sure if these are the actual questions that scientists are still grappling with, but they sound right.) But there is one recent medical breakthrough that gets us one step closer to fully understanding these magical grapefruits we have in our heads. I’m talking, of course, about the Internet Supercut. We now know that if you edit together a video in which the same thing happens over and over again, the human brain will, for whatever reason, want very much to watch that whole video. For example, when presented with a whole video of Shelly Duvall just saying, “Hello, I’m Shelley Duvall” in different dresses in front of different backdrops, the human mind’s automated response is “Bleep bloop blop yes me watch this bop boop bong.” Observe:

For your health! (Thanks for the tip, Louis.)

  1. I WANT to watch this, but it would interfere with my current project, a live-action supercut of me NOT watching supercuts. I call it “Wednesday.”

  2. Hello Shelly!

  3. I absolutely *LOVE* Faerie Tale Theatre! I just realized that it is available on Hulu Plus, and that made my life complete.

    • Favorite episode: The Snow Queen

    • Has no one else seen this show? FOR SHAME.

      • no, I watched them all when I was a kid. there were previews on each vhs tape for the other ones, so even if you only saw a certain episode once, if you watched all of them it got ground into your head who was in each one. jeff goldblum in the three little pigs. robin williams in the frog prince. david bowie in the nightengale.

      • My best friend from college got the boxed set on DVD from her parents one year. She let me borrow the Little Mermaid and I never gave it back…(My favorite was Rapunzel. But how can one really choose?!) I wish they still made stuff for kids like that–low budget, darkly funny, unintentionally frightening.

      • I liked them although Shelly Duvall always scared the crap out of me. I don’t remember them very well, only that she was scary and it was one of the few shows my mom didn’t mind us watching (and I think we were actually too old for them at the time, but hey I watched Wishbone into my 30s)

      • I loved these! We taped them off of TV onto Beta Cassettes when I was young. BETA! I really only remember Hansel and Gretel and Rapunzel, though. I will watch the shit out of them on hulu plus, though. Thanks for the tip!

  4. Who’s this lady? But seriously, outside of being Shelly Duvall, who is she? Does SHE know who she is?

    • That’s Diane. You should know that. Your NOT knowing that makes me feel unfathomably old.

      • I believe you’re thinking of Shelley Long, FT.

      • Oh, I know that. I was speaking more from a philosophical stand point. Like, have you ever repeated a word so much until it loses meaning and the word starts to sound foreign and unfamiliar? “Hello, I’m Shelly Duvall.” “Hello, I’m Shelly Duvall.” “Hello, I’m Shelly Duvall.” “Hello, I’m Shelly Duvall.”… Yes, she’s Shelly, but does Shelly know who Shelly is? Has she become a name with no face? Is this how she wanted to live life? Has she become a vehicle of someone else, a shell of an android, mechanically passing from day to day? Have feelings become foreign? Have her dreams become dashed on the rocky fjords of Faerie Tale Theatre Land?

  5. I want to see a supercut of Chris Hanson doing Chris Hanson stuff, like asking pervs to have a seat, or wether they would like some cookies.

  6. She must have been really drunk to not remember already meeting me all those times.

  7. I wish Shelly Duvall would come to my house and be like “Hello. I’m Shelly Duvall. And I would like to hang out, drink a bottle of wine and just talk about stuff with you.”

    • Yes! This is my dream come true. I have been quietly working on some Shelley Duvall fan fiction, which I’m going to share with the world (my mom and roommate) one of these days. It’s Shelley Duvall, Shelley Long, and the ghost of Shelley Winters solving mysteries in the Seychelles. Lots of blood. Lots of laughs.

  8. That’s a Quality Executable, right there

    do
    msgbox”Hello… I’m Shelly Duval ”
    loop

  9. In completely unrelated news, I just found out that there is a woman who works for the same company as me with the name Natasha Fear. I am quite excited about that. That is some hardcore supervillain name. I am immediately smitten, sight unseen.

    • Don’t let her catch you in her sexy web of evilness.

    • That’s like how I assumed my former coworker named Taco (coincidence?!) van der Felz, who was a middle-aged Dutch man, would basically be a living Wes Anderson character. He was not. He was a normal middle-aged Dutch man. I hope your awesome name fate is not the same!

  10. “Repeating the same thing over and over? Like that’s something new? Um, have we forgot who STARTED THE TREND, folks?”

  11. Saying it over and over doesn’t make it true.

  12. You’d think someone who clearly lives inside some kind of elaborate fantasy wouldn’t have to keep introducing herself.

  13. Shelly Duvall is just the poor man’s Troy McClure.

  14. Shelly Duvall is the best. Her work in Nashville (supercut for her outfits, please!) and Three Women alone are amazing. She could have only been a star in the 1970s. Operation watch that shit!

        Is this YOUR nightmare?!

  15. Oh, hi. I’m sorry…didn’t catch the name.

  16. This was very Hello, I’m Shelly Duvall

  17. Please help me. Was she cradling a rat to her breast in the last cut? Something was squirming in her hand and she appear to stroke at it. It was rat-sized. I need to understand this!

  18. Was that Olive Oyl?

  19. All ‘Hello’ and no play makes Shelly a Duvall.

  20. This video made me really horny. I am now going to look for sexy pictures of that woman and see what I find.

  21. Sausage, Pork, Beef, Cheese, Whole Milk, Butter, Margarine, Nuts, Shelly Duval

  22. Has anyone ever seen the “making of” video of “The Shining”? Every time I see her I think of how annoying she was in that. It totally tainted my Shelly Duvall viewing ever since.

  23. I found out yesterday that the girl who sits next to me in my news editing class is Shelley Duvall’s niece. I got so excited at the post I just felt I had to inform someone.

  24. I really wanted to stop watching this, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was going to tell me hello from some place even more awesome than that beanstalk. I had to know. Pretty sure I saw god at one point.

  25. Hello, I’m Shelley Duvall, and I invented the Snuggie:

  26. Hi! and you said your name was GoodGodthatisaMouthfullofTeeth?
