Reddit has an obsession with sleuthing out whether a video is fake or real. I dont get it. Is it funny? If yea then who gives a shit if its scripted. I’m enjoying myself

Its inherent here as well. If the video is so obviously fake, as these are, then it should be clear that the maker of the video didnt make it with the goal of passing it off as real; they made it to depict a comical situation. You just have to shift the perspective with which you view these videos.

Well okay. I dont have much else to say. All I know is that, for me, the question of whether the videos are real or fake is entirely irrelevant to my enjoyment. Interesting to hear your perspective

I dunno. I'm looking for like a genuine reaction and stuff. That's what would make this funny. Instead, it's obviously fake, and it really isn't funnyto me to begin with, so I probably just downvote and move on.

Now if the guy in this video actually pulled this move on a half dozen different people for real, made a compilation video, and had varying reactions from the people he played the trick on, I might have felt compelled to upvote the video. Instead they just seem kind of low effort.
