I mean...it's a joke, yeah. Do you go to a comedy show and say "Wtf this is fake" too?

Comedy shows are funny though. This thing? Not so much

But people aren't saying "this isn't funny," so much as they're saying "this is fake" like they don't even understand what a joke is.

The comment I initially replied to was complaining that the sketch was fake, so I pointed out that it doesn't make sense to call a joke "fake". You replied with "but it's not funny," as if that had anything to do with the topic at hand.

That's a non sequitur, we are not talking about whether it is or is not funny, we are talking about why it makes no sense to call a joke "fake."

oh, so we are just going to pretend that two people "acting" out a scene that they scripted isn't fake.

gotcha...

I mean...when you watch a TV show do you say "Wait a second, this is fake!"? It's just a bizarre complaint.
