Watch Peter Tork Quietly Mouth Other Actors’ Lines in The Monkees: A Strange Quirk You’ll Never Unsee

And now for some­thing entire­ly ran­dom. As not­ed on Metafil­ter, “Peter Tork from the Mon­kees had a strange lit­tle quirk. Some­times, when oth­er actors … were deliv­er­ing their lines Tork would unthink­ing­ly mouth their dia­logue along with them, as seen in this YouTube com­pi­la­tion. Once you spot it, it makes the show (which was already kin­da weird) weird in a whole new way.” The YouTu­ber who cre­at­ed this com­pi­la­tion spent count­less hours star­ing at Peter’s lips. Giv­en the alter­na­tive these days, it’s not a bad use of time.
