this is such a small observation omg but in s01e02 when everyone else is making fun of mcgucket, stan doesnt laugh
stanford “show me the object of ridicule” pines
And let’s not forget Stan’s reaction when they ran into McGucket in Land Before Swine.
His immediate reaction is
annoyance
crossed arms (closed body language)
eyes darting to the corners
Where have I seen this before?
Oh yeah
That time he had to hide his missing brother’s glasses. Annoyance, crossed arms, darting eyes.
Stan’s a good liar, but he’s full of tells.
OH
“Get rid of it!” “Haha, you got it… Yeesh this carpet’s ugly.”
Let’s not forget the body-swapping carpet from Carpet Diem
Stan enters the conversation with one hand on his hip, the other wrapped around his front with the soda can. It’s not quite crossing his arms, but it’s a closed stance.
