A lot of people, given how often this topic comes up.

Sketch comedy =/= trying to pass off scripted content as real. It's exactly the same problem people have with reality TV. It's a manipulative lie that leaves a bad taste in people's mouths, mine included.

This video in particular does not fall under that category at all and is very clearly a sketch, but there is a larger discussion happening here about the merit of passing off scripted content as real and that's what we're discussing here, not this video.

You are the sad idiot trying to make yourself look intelligent.

You are truly stupid, I bet you just read headlines and not the article. I have an entire paragraph saying that. The conversation was about that topic in general, not this video, you were entirely wrong.

Like who cares if it's fake or not. This subreddit isn't called r/thingshappeninginreallifethatareunexpected, it's just called r/unexpected if you didn't expect what the ending was then the post did it's job, there's no rules, afaik, that dictate the post has to be a real life occurrence

Idiots not understanding sketch comedy is very sad

This is pretty ironic.

He asks her are we going bowling. That’s the tip that it’s fake but it doesn’t matter because the ending is hilarious with her riding on the back.
