Uncanny Valley/Web Original

"Science Fiction Greg:You think I'd be into life-size realistic robots, but that thing makes me want to barf up my earlier energy drink into the one I'm currently drinking."
 * From an advert on this very website:
 * Ah, yes, the dreaded FooPets.com ads. Never before have virtual pets run headlong into the valley like these ads. Just a warning to anyone curious, they become worse when animated.
 * In Ilivais X, Iriana is meant to be at the very bottom of this. Mostly expressionless, very cold, looks like a monochrome walking loli corpse, can't ever die outside an energy source, gets off to being stabbed, etc. And she HATES it.
 * PHOTOMORPHING. If you seriously think the baby in Junior looks creepy, these things look just plain ugly. Some people in the Furry Fandom often do this to make themselves look like their anthros...with highly unexpected results.
 * A recent meme on Fur Affinity encourages people to find a photograph an an animal and photoshop it into their character. Fortunately, most people participating in this simply recolor the picture and draw on cartoony looking clothes and accessories.
 * It's incredibly bad when people who have apparently never seen Avatar photoshop themselves to look like Na'vi...pure Nightmare Fuel right there.
 * Referenced in a recent Teen Girl Squad cartoon, where Japanese Culture Greg is going to the prom with Chizuko, his robot date.

"Okay. Audience participation! Let’s do a little experiment. 1) Lie down on your side. 2) Bend your torso up 90 degrees. 3) Call the paramedics."
 * Followed by Japanese Culture Greg getting UNCANNY VALLEY'D!
 * There's a certain Youtube channel that warps photographs of poets to look like they're mouthing readings of their poems and creates these abominations.
 * The Hand Thing, god! What is that?
 * In Cracked.com
 * Does Not Compute (formerly Cracked TV) is hosted by Michael Swaim, a self-stated android who does absolutely nothing android-like, and therefore lands on the upward slope after Uncanny Valley, comfortably close to full-fledged human. His normal self is visible at the beginning of episode 15. Then, after the forty-five second mark, he slowly becomes more and more creepy (the first change was an innocuous pink bowtie). By the end, he's reached complete and utter Nightmare Fuel.
 * Everything in The 7 Most Unintentionally Creepy Places on the Internet.
 * 5 Creepy Ways Humans Are Plunging Into The Uncanny Valley.
 * The 7 Creepiest Real Life Robots shows real-world androids that dwell in the darkest depths of the Uncanny Valley. They even mention the trope by name.
 * In a similar vein - 5 Real Robots Built to Love you to Death. The final example is completely deliberate and was built to study the Uncanny Valley effect.
 * The Nico Nico Douga "Home Haruka" meme is aaaall about this trope. (You'll need a Nico Nico account to see that video. If you don't have one... lucky you.)
 * A lot of things made with the MikuMikuDance software straddles the line between awesome and awesomely disturbing. What's especially fun is that the software can be used to make a model of just about anything. Case in point: this, a such video featuring Seto Kaiba. And if you're feeling especially brave, here's the same model, dancing to Black Rock Shooter. The creator even apologizes that she couldn't get the model's eyes to stop rolling back into its skull.
 * Besides the eyes, the only creepy thing is that he is singing with a girl's voice.
 * This is what made The Slender Man Mythos so captivating. The central Humanoid Abomination is an abnormally tall guy with no face or hair that wears a business suit. He apparently can't talk, and he walks in a very stiff manner, often with his arms out in front of him. He can also teleport anywhere he wants. Like inside your house. The tentacles are a bit off-kilter as well.
 * Watch Marble Hornets alone at midnight. I dare you to sleep with the lights off afterwards.
 * Not that leaving them on will make you feel any better.
 * Melancholic Princess, a digital painting done by an artist called Robert Chang developed cult status on YouTube because of this. It even spawned a series of urban myths. The original picture can be seen here.
 * Magibon. She just... stares at you. Unblinkingly.
 * Most people who see this video either consider it Nightmare Fuel or... strangely arousing.
 * In the eyes of the PPC, Mary Sues fit this trope because they're too perfectly pretty to be human.
 * Fantastic Hey Hey Hey. Good luck sleeping tonight.
 * John Nolan's animatronic work. Some are cool, but some are downright creepy.
 * Wights from Orion's Arm intentionally get as deep into the valley as they can.
 * The Annoying Orange does come across this. Even Daneboe, the creator of the series, has acknowledged that the characters are kind of creepy.
 * Annoying Orange, meet Fruity Fables.
 * For a long time in Red vs. Blue, the only character whose face we saw was Vic, who was an image capture from the first Halo game. Acceptable enough as he never looked particularly real. Then along comes Reconstruction which gives us the Councilor. A much, much more realistic looking character (same effect, only they used an image from a newer game and used more advanced effects when making his mouth move) but there's still something about the way his face stays alarmingly still while his features are moving...
 * Talked about in The Game Overthinker episode "Reality Sucks". He uses Mega Man as the "humanoid but not trying to pass" left side, and Cameron as the "so lifelike as to trigger empathy" right side. Joan Rivers represents the Valley and after all that plastic surgery, the Take That is perfectly justified.
 * Intentionally used by YouTube user stoolsoftenercapsule, who used to be known as "MrChriddof" before inexplicably closing that account in late March 2010.
 * Zappos.com ads you may see around the internet. Including this very site.
 * The pictures of Frank the goat on Live Journal's 404 pages.
 * These things.
 * The picture on the right at about 4:40 in this video. Buh...
 * The new improved nightmare of new Bratz Webisodes
 * This animation.
 * Dancing Baby. Just...Dancing Baby.

 * The name of this tumblr speaks for itself, and ought to warn you of the horrors to come.
 * Stop calling Bill O'Reilly a homo.
 * This Sporcle picture quiz. One of the comments even proclaimed, "Well, I'm going to have nightmares."
 * This Meme, Animated characters photoshopped into Uncanny Valley. Got Brain Bleach?
 * Watching this video of Mrs Stephen Fry may cause you to never look at Stephen Fry the same way again.
 * Memes surrounding Anonymous tend to feature this and Paranoia Fuel.
 * Mori no Ando, which doubles up as a Mind Screw.
 * College Humor made an ad for the fake product "Baby's Face" and... just watch.
 * The poser models in Grand Theft Auto Escanaba. (Or 3D Movie Maker in general.) The protagonists in particular.
 * The ever loved, the original SCP-173. It...it's kinda vaguely humanoid...but that face. Staring at it is so hard, so awkward. You want to look away. You can't. You mustn't.
 * Don't watch this at night alone. You were warned.
 * Here's some Nightmare Retardant link

 * Smile by LookingGlassArt

 * This monstrocity: Percy by Rinners-x.
 * The original Melancholic Princess by Lunatique-SF. "For some odd reason, people on the internet started circulating my painting as some kind of urban myth involving some death curse..."
 * Most of the attempts at making human-shaped cakes featured on Cake Wrecks. The infamous meatloaf baby is particularly horrifying.
 * This Zelda Fan Film contains the perfect storm of both Uncanny Valley and Off-Model, with Link looking like he had a bad head injury and Ganondorf looking shiny. The animation itself, while decently choreographed, is jerky and unnatural, and the awful lighting makes things even worse. Its sequels show little improvement, and the teaser for the next one features Fi (who already lacked proper eyes) with a misshapen head and her "Hair Hat" looking too realistic, and shots of horseback-riding that resembles someone riding a mechanical bull.
 * Atop the Fourth Wall has a surprising example with
 * The Escher Girls blog. "This is a blog for pictures of female characters in impossible or ridiculous poses or with disturbing anatomy because the artists need to show teh sexy."


 * Squicky Game Art blog. "...SGA brings relief from an onslaught of broken spines and boob windows."
 * So you want to hear an actual recording of Alfred, Lord Tennyson reading his famous Charge of the Light Brigade? Well, okay, but you'll have to sit through the horrible face-warp video that the uploader apparently thought necessary.
 * Extra Credits has mentioned the Uncanny Valley several times. First in an episode specifically about it, then revisited in a Halloween episode and again in a recent episode about Kinect.
