Robs ear pops out when he sees the Chainsaw


Why is Robs ear scrunched up and then it pops out when he sees the Mom Holding the chainsaw .

You'll see what I mean when you see the scene.

That was pretty odd, and sort of funny.

I know this is an old blog, but since no one gave an answer here is what mine is.

Rob's (Jon Gries) character is highly fidgety. He always is breaking things and studdering, etc. Although we don't see it, logic would have it that since he is so fidgety he probably bites his nails and plays with his ears. Simple nervous habits. He probably was messing with his ear when Mother attacks him with a chainsaw.

I just watched the movie and I have to say I thought it was hilarious.

I just watched it again too (it's been on HBO or Cinemax lately), and I think it's a hidden comedy gem.

You're right about Jon Gries' character in the film too. Being a fidgety oddball is part of his persona.
