Yoshida does Banderas gif

Yup, gotta have a chair to do it right. The lean back makes up like 70% of the Banderas-ness
They are doing the "Banderas meme™" guys.
Clearly that's genuine and not at all contrived.
Let's all do it together in celebration.
The irony is that all of the facepalmers are doing a better Banderas than both Shu and Joey.
This gif is so hilarious because it displays a face that not many people make and I know exactly what it means.

It's time for an offical GAF Banderas reaction competition.

It's a weird move if you try and replicate it, but Banderas just makes it look...right.
boiled goose
good with gravy
the amount of acting Banderas does in that simple move is crazy.
initial puzzlement, ecstatic lean back and release, head tilt, hand to the mouth in containment, the imagination runs wild, slight grin at the end.
Trying to replicate it feels so unnatural.

Wait. Surely this.... This isn't a 'thing' anywhere other than on Gaf..??
My initial thought of "Hey, they did it wrong," was quickly replaced ..
1). Hey, they acknowledged it! Cool.
2). Now that I think about it, mainly because they did it wrong.....it's not the easiest sequence of actions to pull off. Antionio is truly impressive.
To make it up to us, though, we should demand a second attempt at the VGAs.

Trying to do the Banderas is like transcribing solos by ear: you're learning from a master, and it's probably pretty difficult to pull off. Having a chair helps.
To me it's just about how dialed in Sony is to their customers right now, and to pop culture. Or niche culture, or whatever term it is that describes GaF =p
Obviously they found the Banderas phenomenon as hilarious/awesome as we did. That little bit of fun by bigwig Sony execs... it's fan service. And we ate it up. And why not! It's endearing to us and makes us like them even more. On some level at least, they're demonstrating they're in tune with what we like. Again. The DRM thing, the 1080p thing, Banderas. Sony is dialed in man. Yosp is quoting digital foundry articles on twitter, all the same stuff we check out daily.
I'm diggin Sony. Launch titles could have been a bit better for those of us who already have BF4 on Pc, but whatever

What was Joey even doing? That's more a tip of the hat than it is bandergasm.

And the conclusion:
this is a legitimate masterpiece
And the conclusion:
*applauds* This is a thing of beauty...I put this up there with the sight of seeing Michael Jordan hitting the last shot, to help the Chicago Bulls win NBA Championship #6 vs The Utah Jazz.

Is Antonio Banderas aware of this absolute mayhem?
Come let us count pixels while telling tales of E3s and threads of old!
HA HA HA HA!!! I love you, guy. I can give you 10/10 easily.

Joey looked like he was Tebowing.
I could not possibly agree more.To me it's just about how dialed in Sony is to their customers right now, and to pop culture. Or niche culture, or whatever term it is that describes GaF =p
