To some extent it doesn't really matter if the situations are real. It's the exploration of moral implications and disagreements and assumptions being made in the comments that are entertaining. It's like some of the funny video subreddits. In literally every post you've got someone being "clever" and stating "this video was staged!" as if that had any material difference on whether the content was funny or not.
For all I know I'm replying to a chatgpt bot right now. It doesn't matter. I found the comment chain interesting enough to reply. For all you know I'm a bot. We could all be bots except for you... Does it really matter? What would you do differently?
- arcticfox 3y agoWhether a video was staged absolutely impacts how funny it is
- tstrimple 3y agoSomeone should tell SNL that they can't be funny because it's scripted. Comedians all across the globe should be out of a job because scripted comedy isn't funny apparently. This video has no value because it's clearly scripted. No way she actually has a nail sticking out of her head. When will these creators stop trying to fool us!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg
- viraptor 3y agoIt makes a huge difference to me. If we have an agreement in watching something staged (comedy movie, skit, etc.), great. If we have an agreement something is genuine (captured because it's partially planned or accidental), great. But if someone claims to post a funny genuine thing that's staged, it's not funny, it's just a lie and pissing me off.
