These people look so normal. i mean, somehow it makes me realize how much they filter the pool of humanity in most cases to only allow really good looking people (or specifically the types of good looking people the culture currently is into) in media. How in real life there is such a more diverse range of looks. This feels like a more realistic random selection of human types than we normally see and that is almost jarring.
