Sellotape selfies, aka sellofies, have spread in popularity on Facebook as the latest baffling craze for people with too much time on their hands.
Since Bradley Cooper and Ellen Degeneres sent Twitter into meltdown with their Oscars selfie, the world has been subjected to a relentless stream of copycat acts.
From Dylan Hartley and the England rugby team to the old dude with two dogs, some efforts have been mildly amusing, while others have just left us thinking WHERE WILL IT ALL END?
This latest hybrid is apparently inspired by Jim Carrey film Yes Man, but there is also evidence that the ‘Sellotape selfie’ owes its origins to this American photographer.
Either way, just in case you haven’t already seen enough selfies, here is a selection of nine people who wrapped sellotape around their face and then uploaded the evidence to the internet:
1. ‘Oh hey, I didn’t see you there…’
2. ‘Aaargh, I wish I hadn’t done this…’
3. Orc extra just strolled off the Lord of the Rings set…
4. ‘I’ve lost all feeling in my brain…’
5. ‘Hi Mum, you’ll never guess what hilarious escapades I’ve been getting up to…’
6. ‘Hahaha this seemed like such a good idea at the time…’
7. The man who bears a passing resemblance to Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea…
8. ‘I saw this ‘banter’ on the internet and decided to try it out for myself…’
9. ‘I’ve got a cookie strapped to my face and I mean business…’
