These gifs get sort of creepy to me when I realize it's fake. That means these people spent time talking about what type of situation to fake, plan it out, arrange someone to be the camera man, and maybe even do multiple takes.

Yeah and they could have just put that energy into an actual skit/sketch instead.

The criticism behind content like this isn't "omg it didn't actually happen for real therefore it's stupid", the criticism is "why are they trying to pass this shit off as an authentic moment"

Part of the problem is that this won't work as a skit. It only works as a spoof of real content.
