Mr Incredible is Bob Parr, the superhero father from Pixar's The Incredibles, released in 2004. His face became the basis for the becoming uncanny and becoming canny formats that spread across Reddit, YouTube and TikTok in 2021, where a series of increasingly edited portraits is matched to shifting music. Tier 1 marks the opening, undistorted portrait in that sequence. Editors still use this starting stage because audiences recognise the template instantly and expect the mood to change with each following phase.

Mr Incredible Tier 1 sound from the becoming uncanny meme, featuring the calm first phase before the face and music shift for reaction videos
This clip captures the first, most normal stage of the Mr Incredible becoming uncanny meme, where Bob Parr still looks like his familiar cheerful self. The sound stays bright and steady, which makes it work as a setup before things turn strange. Viewers who know the format immediately understand the contrast that is coming, while the clip on its own reads as confident and harmless. That tension between a normal superhero smile and the distorted phases that follow is what gives the short sound its comedic timing and instant recognition in edits.
