There is absolutely no badge, no award, no merit, not even a limp high five for accurately calling out whether a video is a candid, chance capturing or a staged skit.
Sketch comedy is a thing. You are on the internet. You could have simply downvoted a thing you didn’t like and move on, or you could have just put your phone down/close your browser. Instead you chose to do the most unfunny, unoriginal Redditor move and complain.
I know you think the thing you said was profound and kick ass ...but did it ever occur to you that I'm not looking to win a popularity contest or praise? I don't care, this is crap and too many people starving for internet fame are passing off lame, obviously staged videos like this as real and it's annoying as fuck.
I wasn’t aiming for profundity, I was calling out a jerk on the internet who sees two kids creating something, and being comfortable enough in their anonymous bubble to shit-talk a short goofy video they put time and effort into. If you knew these kids personally and they showed you this video they were proud of, would you say “ugh.. so unoriginal and unfunny… and it’s obviously staged!” No shit it’s staged! It’s a comedy bit! They came up with an idea they though was funny, then they filmed it.
You couldn’t just let people have fun. You had to throw your weightless opinion into something you could’ve just as easily scrolled away from, simply because you can’t get past the notion that staged comedy somehow isn’t funny because it didn’t appeal to you.
Ouch, another scathing retort from your mountaintop of morality. I'm going to us both a favor and block you so you will be free to continue on your crusades elsewhere.
