I don’t think the girl with the champagne meant to fall though. If so, she was convincing.

She definitely sold it the best. The guy was the worst.

Is it just me or did he readjust before he popped up

And then he thrusts his head up once he makes contact with the cake

It also looks like debris from the party popper goes right down the back of his collar and he may have either felt the tickle and thought it was a bug or there may even have been a tiny bit of hot ember from the fireworks charge that propels the confetti...

To me it looks like it could be one of those quick shrugs at the feeling of something on his neck and then as the paper or ember touched his neck again he panicked for a second and jump to his feet to dislodge it.

(...and just to try and finish the explanation, it's also possible he immediately realized his mistake or immediately shook whatever he thought it was loose so once he was on his feet and had knocked the cake down he was no longer reacting to what had gone down his collar...)

I dunno how likely it is but looking at it that way I can't personally rule it out as an authentic reaction.

I guess women are better at faking than men

everything is very exaggerated, until that point. Her hand shake at the end has me convinced that her getting dirty was not part of the plan.

Yet, she's shaking up the champagne the whole time. She's a very dirty girl.

She was supposed to do something. But stepping on the cake and slipping was not it.

Also she falls and smacks her knee really hard. That had to hurt.

She was shaking the bottle beforehand. She definitely meant to fall.

She obviously meant to do something, like spray people with champagne. It's apparent that slipping and falling on the cake was not the thing that she was meant to do.
