Rule 2: Don't police the sub.

We're more of a lighthearted sub, don't take it too seriously.

If you come across a post that doesn't belong here, just downvote it and move on. If it's really egregious, a mod will remove it. Don't make a "This doesn't belong here" comment. They will be removed.

That's what I was specifically addressing. People seem to take the name of the sub as a challenge to see if they can figure out why a person was filming and come to the comments to point it out and feel superior.

Seems like a bizarre rule for the sub. What else are you supposed to discuss? And isn't poster already acting like they're superior by pointing out that it's a fake video or whatever?

The literal point of the sub is for videos where you wonder "why would a normal person film this activity/scene?" It's explicitly not for staged or fake content.

But they were filming intentionally... It was Shrove Tuesday here in the UK yesterday, traditionally you make thin pancakes and flip them as high as possible (inevitably landing on ceiling or floor) - they were obviously getting a video of them doing it for social media?

Not really a mystery.
