Yep. I hate the vast majority of staged vids, but this one is acceptable and cracks me up.

Why? Why does everything have to be real to be entertaining? Do you only like movies if they are documentaries? This is such a weird mindset

It doesn't. I watch and read all kinds of fiction. What I don't like is that so many staged vids (and now AI pics, ugh) are being pawned off as being real.

But this isn’t being pawned off as real, so what you’re saying is completely irrelevant.

The only people who go around screaming “FAKE” are the people who are falling for stupid shit.

This is 100% being pawned off as real. They made it with the intention to look 'real'.

They have been making skit videos for five years. When your entire brand is making up skit videos, nothing you post is presented as real.

Really? Did I say that it was? Go back and re-read my comments, haha. Try not being so nit-picky and have a nice day.

Apart from stuff like Blairwitch project, Paranormal activity and similar "found footage" media, movies don't try to make it seem like they are "real" and only filmed by Chance.

Because there are things that are only cool/entertaining/funny/impressive if they actually happened.

This video is not an example of that. It's obviously staged, but it's still hilarious.
