The shakeycam in the eye video was nauseating. The eyes were fine, cute even. But damn, why?

The branching in 'black stuff' appears identical to black coral, which one sees diving at depth in tropical seas.

[Plays first one] Hmm, pretty tame, reminds me of maze generators.
[Plays second one] Okay, background noise is a bit unnerving, not bad 3d version of the first, but it's fine.
[Plays third one] OH CRIPES IT SEES ME IT'S SHAKING WHAT DOES IT WAANT

The horrific nauseating soundtrack coupled with my slight trypophobia, made this THE POST OF THE YEAR! THANKS CORTEX

If you hate this you might also hate this music video from IDK sometime between 2003 and 2006: Alias - Sixes Last (CW: lots of eyes and stuff. Also kinda low res and compression artifacty)

The eyes one seemed to be on a loop. I feel like I watched the same thing 3-4 times.

His music video with the creeping orbs is strangely fascinating to watch, too.
