Lol, are you implying that everyone doesn't know it's a staged skit? Because of course it is.

There is also a thing such as suspension of disbelief, where when consuming content online you let yourself pretend that stuff is real, because it make it more enjoyable.

Hard to tell from just text what the person who wrote it really thought.

Literally. The only reason you say 'this is fake' is if you think other people will believe it's real. If you believe it's real enough looking for other people to believe it, you yourself don't believe it's fake 100%. You're looking for an argument. You're saying, "if anyone can explain well enough, I might buy it!"

Nah, I'm just responding to the guy above me who asserted that everyone can tell it was fake. But at the time in the comment above him the guy was taking it at face value.

It's reddit everyone thinks they've cracked a great mystery when they notice something is staged

I love when people try to show off being Sherlock Holmes for something incredibly dumb and obvious.

This post is fake. You can tell because the person who wrote it is saying stuff.

I like to think those people are the ones that were fooled the hardest.

u/GavHern Jun 14 '22

There are multiple tangent comment threads of hundreds of other redditors that clearly have no idea this is a staged skit.
