First it was Laurel or Yanny. Then it was brainstorm or green needle.
Now, it's Barbie or...f**k?!
Just two days ago, TikToker @kittyfeeley posted a now-viral video that has sparked the latest auditory illusion debate.
The video, which has been viewed 34.7 million times, is of a Barbie and Ken doll scene she recorded from Toy Story 3.
In the scene, Barbie has Ken tied up and tortures him by ripping his cherished clothing.
After seeing Barbie destroy a pair of shorts, Ken yelled:
"Oh, Barbie! Those were vintage!"
But all many can hear is, "Oh, f**k!" instead of "Oh, Barbie!"
You be the judge.
@kittyfeeley I literally hear both 😂 #toystory3 #yannyorlaurel
Viewers of the video were split on what they heard.
Some don't hear "Barbie" at all.

And for some, it's the opposite.

The majority, however, heard both.

Another video of the torture scene posted to YouTube is more audibly clear.

Whatever the reason, we can definitely hear both in the first video. What do you hear?
