Chinface

About
Chinface is also called Chinhead, Chinman, Chinmonster but all of these are the act of drawing or pasting eyes and sometimes other facial parts to the chin. Once the parts are on the chin, one would take a camera and flip it upside down and film or take a picture towards the actors chin. When the eyes and the mouth are flipped it gives the image of distortion to the face and can be very comical. Many Youtube videos featuring Chinface are a song being sang by Chinface or just him/her talking.

Origins
Chinface first made an appearance in the 1964 film, "For Those Who Think Young", when a man had a face drawn on his chin and he got mostly buried in the sand so you could only see the chin. In 1988, McEwans Lager released a television advertisement that featured, "The Chinheads" who used the Chinface concept and made a rock band out of it. This ad was directed by Steve Barron. A show in 1990 called "The Man from Auntie" by Ben Elton had many chinface appearances. The show "Red Dwarf" had aired an episode in 1993 that consisted of chinface being used to convince a ship of simulants (artificially created cyborg humanoids) that there were no humans onboard but instead there were only a curry-based species called Vindaloovians. Chinface is now making appearances in mainly Youtube videos.
