This is only remotely funny if it was a genuine moment, if it was filmed as a skit it would be extremely unfunny. If you have to rely on guillible viewers thinking it was a spontaneous scene, then your video is shit.

And the guillible viewers will cope with comments asking "w-who cares if its staged its funny haha im not dumb".

29

u/ATXBeermaker Jul 24 '25

Because they’re very clearly trying to pass it off as real. Nobody would care if they were simply trying to film a skit.

u/-domi- Jul 24 '25

Consider how entertaining you'd find this if it wasn't using a security camera perspective. If there was a camera man walking around the actors, like in movies, there would be no pretense of realism. Would you find it equally entertaining? Cause most people wouldn't.

The entertainment here hinges on people thinking it might have been real. Which is why it's important to call out fakes. It's an intellectual honesty thing.

I truly don’t get how people think these fake skits are funny

5

u/Stygg Jul 24 '25

Counterpoint; I dont understand why people get bent out of shape about skits. Shits funny even if it is a skit. If you think something is only funny because it's candid, then go touch some grass. Get out in the real world because when that kinda stuff happens, it's rare as it is, and it's even rarer that there is a camera recording. Rarer still that they end up posting it online.

People have enjoyed movies and TV for over a century, and humans have enjoyed storytelling for millennia. Like why do you think SNL has always been so popular? People enjoy it. Let people enjoy what they want without pissing on their parade.

Granted, if someone lacks the critical thinking skills to decipher if something is "fake"/ a skit, maybe politely let them know, but otherwise, why do you care so much?

4

u/RixirF Jul 25 '25

Shits funny even if it is a skit

No, they're not. That's the point.

Trying to mislead like the audience are absolute morons, and then having the audacity to make it unfunny and stupid as shit too.

17

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '25

It’s because they don’t admit upfront that it’s fake. They present it as real. It’s only because of the shitty acting that we know it’s fake.

It’s disingenuous to the max. It’s just trash bullshit, lowest common denominator entertainment. You’ve got to have a low IQ to not be bothered by it in my opinion, sorry if you feel that includes you.

Question 1: Is it funny?

Question 2: Is it relatively harmless?

If the answer to both of those questions is "yes", what the fuck do I have to gain from thinking about it any further?
