Mental Superpowers Can Be Dangerous

One movie comes up with a way of illustrating something, and suddenly every movie does it. Among people who watch those kinds of movies, it becomes a well-known signal. In superhero, fantasy, or science fiction, when someone uses some kind of mental power, like telekinesis or a mental death ray, you can tell it's difficult when you see a bit of blood coming out of their nose. It signifies that whatever they are doing takes a lot of effort. In this latest skit from Ryan George, a group of friends (all played by George) re-enacts that trope to ridiculous ends.
