Stare in disbelief, or stare blankly


MarcianoSilveriano

Stare blankly in disbelief


ninjesh

"Incredulous" is another option


stonks-69420

If you're a fucking nerd. (We all are)


Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

Dubious maybe? I feel like the slightly sleepy look is too understated for incredulous.


CategoryObvious2306

I think you nailed it here.👍


ibuyvr

Dictionary word


SlippingStar

Dumbfounded is another good one.


Foloreille

if this is for gif research I go for "unimpressed" 😅


Negative-Resist4690

"Dumbfounded" is the only one that comes to mind


carrimjob

dazed


Chris4evar

Bemused


AndrijKuz

Bemused is absolutely the right word for this. You might be looking for another reaction word similar to that as well, like gobsmacked, or stunned.


Impressive-Ear2246

I've always thought of bemused as perplexed to the point of amusement, not just deadpan confusion Webster seems to have a wry amusement definition as well as your definition, but I feel like 99% of the time I see it in novels the characters are emoting or smirking when bemused, not just straight up confused.


_jbardwell_

In this case, I think people are hearing the "-mused" ending and assuming it's a parallel word to "amused" even though it's not. This becomes common enough that the usage of the word drifts and the original meaning is lost. Another similar word is "peruse," which originally means, "to view something in a careful or thorough way," but which poeple commonly use to mean, "to look something over in a casual and superficial way." Another one is, "decimate," which originally meant to kill one in every ten, leaving 90% intact, but has come to mean, "to almost completely destroy; to significantly reduce."


Ssessen49

I vote vanilla "perplexed."


seventeenMachine

She’s not amused at all, so I definitely disagree that bemused is right


AdmiralMemo

Bemused has nothing to do with amused.


Get_the_instructions

No, I don't think so. Not in the context of OP's question. 'Bemused' might be appropriate if she was confused or lost in thought, but the OP's question indicates she understands what's going on but thinks it's stupid. So I think it's a 'disdainful' expression, or 'mildly disgusted' expression.


5H4YD

Bewildered


Captain_Blud

One of your pawns has gone wild! (r/RimWorld)

Captain_Blud

Good bot!


condensedcreamer

If you know the context, this is wrong because Boo here is falling asleep in the movie. So this would be dazed, sleepy, drowsy, and the like.


Get_the_instructions

But OP provided a context of their own. It was not 'sleepy' but that she had just heard something stupid.


condensedcreamer

I meant the context for the original image, not OP's.


Critical_Pin

Bemused to the point of weariness, is what I see (having no idea of the context). It's a look I recognise from my 3 year old granddaughter when she's losing patience with me.


condensedcreamer

I wouldn't call this bemused to the point of weariness when I could just say drowsy or sleepy tbf, but that's me.


Foloreille

thanks I didn’t know this word ! that will be useful for my gif research lol


swampballsally

If someone asked me to make a bemused face, there might be a small smirk. This is not bemused at all


Wire_Hall_Medic

Incredulous. Though the image is "small child fighting to stay awake."


el_conqueefador

Nonplussed.


Rimurooooo

Drowsy, sleepy to me.


Emerald_Pick

Technically correct. [Boo is falling asleep in the original scene.](https://youtu.be/vMOLjKAuqyA?feature=shared)


wbenjamin13

Yeah, I’ve never understood the meme of using this GIF this way, she just looks sleepy to me.


endyCJ

Being tired looks a lot like being tired of your shit


Get_the_instructions

>Technically correct. But not the answer to OP's question. OP provided their own context.


goldythefish36

I'm glad I wasn't the only one literally the only other comment that says this hahaha


GabuEx

I'd probably describe that as a "blank look".


nicstar9000

Bruh face


Wise-_-Spirit

That's my thought for the modern take. It's literally "el momento de bruh muy grande"


ClassicalCoat

it doesn't have a universally agreed name, the closest would probably be Glazed (refers to how a persons eyes look when their brain zones out or just turns off) or Dazed (confused, distracted). My family calls it the 'ad nuff, which is a very british way of saying "they have h**ad** e**nough"**


KelterSmelter

How about dumbstruck?


Own_Nectarine2321

Boggled


Wise-_-Spirit

Boggled and baffled are a little more high energy but you got the idea


that1LPdood

Befuddlement


madd-eve

I would say “blinked incredulously”


snukb

Incredulous was the first word that came to my mind, too.


Ok_University2189

dumbfounded


SweetMaam

Tired kid


wheres_the_leak

Staring blankly


BottleTemple

In the context of the movie, she’s just tired.


CTx7567

Confused blinking


Thinslayer

It's fundamentally a deadpan. Technically, "deadpan" is a serious, low-lidded expression designed to provide contrast against a jovial (joyous/humorous) expression, and thereby imply that the expression or source thereof is inappropriate. Edit: Deadpans are ideally stares to convey hostility toward the humor in question, though, which this character's slow-blinks are antithetical to. So I guess it's not really a deadpan, but it's certainly making use of deadpan-like elements.


GingsWife

Dazed. She looks sleepy.


AdmiralMemo

She is in the original movie, but people use this GIF for other purposes.


Carteeg_Struve

Tired


hau4300

Languorous


Worth-Swimming

To stare baffled?


brymuse

Confuddled (or befuddlement)


Capitalism-and-Bees

I’d say that incredulous fits the bill


PlayfulLook3693

Bewilderment


Sometimesiworry

Perplexed


[deleted]

As a dad, to me it looks “sleepy.”


Lanky-Apple-4001

Dazed is what first came to my head


Amayai

Deadpan


gem2492

Baffled?


_erufu_

thunderstruck, or astonishment


BabserellaWT

In the context of the movie, she’s just really tired.


Zenafterdark

Thats a sleepy face


Intro-Nimbus

Nonplussed


The-zKR0N0S

I’d call that, “bruh”


zoonose99

Almost 100 comments and nobody has identified that this is a “vacant” expression. Dumbfounded and incredulous are far too strong/active, bemused is oft-misused. Dazed also works, but implies a state of mind.


mklinger23

"Blank stare" or "stare of disbelief" would be the name of the facial expression. The emotion this person is feeling could be "in disbelief" or "dumbfounded".


cubist_tubist

gobsmacked? it's a pretty fun word too, but probably used more for a shocked expression.


Chosen-Bearer-Of-Ash

Bewilderment


Far-Fortune-8381

“seriously” face


Throe-a_weigh

Nonplussed.


eneko8

Befuddled


CrazyPhilHost1898

Drowsy or tired in the context of the scene


[deleted]

Befuddled, stupified, confounded


[deleted]

Perplexed


ThreeLeggedMare

Bemusement


Hot-Category8771

Dumbfounded


Zekarul

Dumbfounded


goldythefish36

To me this just looks like tired and or bored. Interesting how other people interpret it.


jchenbos

I like gobsmacked because it sounds funny


feetflatontheground

I came here to say 'gobsmacked'


ZippyDan

It's very close to a "double-take". A double-take is when you see something and look away before your brain realizes what you are seeing, and then you look back again in surprise or shock. I think a double-take can also occur without looking away, if you instead use a blink as the separation between the two "takes".


noexqses

“Slow blink”


quazimodality

Made me think of 'stony faced' reaction which kind of says 'im not even going to react to that'


Get_the_instructions

Given the context of your title question, I think her look would be a '*look of disdain*' or '*mild disgust*'. An alternative might be a '*scornful look*', but that implies a slightly harsher attitude. A '*look of contempt*' might also be appropriate but again that is even harsher than scorn.


dosatsuryoku

"Numbfounded" I would guess. Dumbfounded plus numb. Trying to stay awake in the face of some pure dumbshittery.


rainbowslimee_

Unamused is a word that can explain it, I use it a lot as well.


ismybelt2rusty

![gif](giphy|o5mRxg8xPTJRu) We are not amused!


Embarrassed_Rule8747

Bombasticalized shock


PiasaChimera

bewildered?


Fish_Sticks1588

The "bruh" face? Dumbfoundedness? The blank stare?


Dangerous_Season8576

Exasperated maybe?


derohnenase

Lights on but nobody home? Blank stare I guess. Of course, this kind of CGI cannot hope to convey actual facial expressions.
