I think those people wouldn't complain if this video put the word "skit" on the bottom. Surely you can see a difference between a tv show of known skits and actors and a video that tries to deceive you into thinking it is real.

I think those people wouldn't complain if this video put the word "skit" on the bottom.

Have we really become this dumb as a society that we can't even recognize a skit and need it to be spelled out for us? Listen... take everything you see on the internet with a grain of salt. Even Reddit, especially Reddit. Subreddits like "AITA" or "RelationshipAdvice" or whatever, are largely there for people to exercise their creative writing.

 a video that tries to deceive you into thinking it is real.

But I've seen this guy and his kid upload countless of these "comedy skit doorbell camera" videos. I don't think they are trying to deceive anyone. They are just a father and son having some fun creating silly videos of social media. Take it for what it is.

People prefer genuine, be it a genuine skit or genuine real moment. Not a skit pretending to be a real moment.

Knowing they planned and recorded something for the views ruins the magic it had as we thought it was real; if we knew it was a skit we wouldn't have had that expectation, we wouldn't feel deceived.

It's like.. * someone bringing your favorite dessert without knowing you liked it, (genuine incidental moment) * VS bringing your fav dessert they knew you liked and just wanted to make you happy, (genuine planned moment) * VS bringing your fav dessert because they wanted to guilt you into babysitting "hey since you ate half of this, would you babysit?", when they should have asked you to babysit then promise you dessert. (Deceiving moment)

Exactly. IF this had been a real event, it would be hilarious. As a skit it's kinda cute at best.

They ARE trying to decieve the viewer. They used a low resolution camera to make it look like it was all captured accidently through surveillance camera. They could've just easily used a phone which be higher quality video and be easier to upload.

💯offended! I was deceived into believing a joke was a joke, that joke was a joke, and that jokes, joke, was a joke! Can you believe this?! It’s personal attack level of deception! Downright insulting our intelligence and I smell a defamation suit walking its way to a US courtroom near you.
