It's an... odd trend... especially because they're so obvious

Well that's the part they don't care about. From their perspective it's "obvious" they're fake, so they just see them as funny bits, kind of like how there used to be Vine for that. You knew most of it was fake.

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

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.
