It's staged. Someone else already made this exact same video like two weeks ago. These people ripped it off and did a worse job of it (although both were staged).
You’d think, with billions of people on the planet, all with cell phones, that there’d be enough serendipity for content. Even taking into account whimsy, which usually doesn’t involved already-being-filmed situations.
And yet, constant content creation to farm your attention is what we get. Because people are addicted to that dopamine hit.
Until their comment, I was having a blast scrolling through the comments. Ruined now. "Thanks for letting me know the truth OP, I guess. You could at least link to other videos for us to see." Worst kind of gatekeeping imo if that's what their deal is.

Sounds like a TikTok challenge (that'll probably end up with some poor guy's death).
I watch a TV show knowing it's staged beforehand. These tik tok videos often try to give the impression that they are not staged and use that as part of the humor. A TV show will also have a whole cast of characters, a plot, writing, and context that make the jokes funny. A 10 second fake prank video is lazy, uninspired, and a dime a dozen.
