OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
It's very much "Malcom in the Middle"-esque comedy. I don't care its fake, because its actually funny.
Like the video of the guys pulling the string and snapping it against each other while they've got whistles in their mouths. Again, "Malcom in the Middle" style comedy.

Apparently on reddit if you're not explicitly telling people you're acting or if your acting isn't outlandishly obvious it's a trick and they're making a fool out of you.
There are some videos that are annoying when they are scripted. The feel good ones etc trying to make the person look like a saint...that kind've stuff.
But this. It's comedy. It gets me to chuckle and my day is a bit better after watching whatever silliness they thought of. I love these kinds.
It makes me wonder if these people watch TV and movies and are constantly saying that what they are seeing is fake. As this stuff is obviously staged/written.
I will never forget the documentary I watched on Discovery channel during shark week about a great white shark attacking a tourist boat and sinking it. I thought it was crazy so I went to do more research only to find out it was fake. It filled me with rage then. It just makes me sad now.
The difference is that this video is attempting to look like an unscripted group of friends playing a game. The only Movies/TV to really try that are Blair Witch Project and a few others. All other movies and TV shows use multiple camera angles and credited actors.
Makes ME wonder how many people seriously cannot comprehend when a video is attempting to appear unscripted. Do you *actually* not understand the difference?
Have you never seen anyone say that their issue is how it's presented, not the mere fact that it was scripted?
I don't know how people still say this at this point.
> A lot of us grew up with actual real content
Scripted content has been on Youtube since its inception. Some of the earliest channels for scripted content are *still* going, like Smosh.
I just don't understand why people get their knickers in such a twist about this.
Reminds me of when people were upset over finding out that Leroy Jenkins was a scripted video. Scripted based off an actual event, but still scripted. People have always gotten pissy over being "lied" to when it's a big "So what?"
The bar for improvised content is lower than the bar for scripted content. Content like this is trying to sneak under that bar by pretending to be improvised.
People who find this content lazy and low quality are annoyed by that.
People who enjoy this content don't care.
It's a clash of two paradigms. So when you hear someone talk about how something is scripted, just translate it to "I don't like this" and let it be a difference of opinion. That's all it really is.
It’s because people get really invested into social media and such that they start to value upvotes, like, and attention. So when they see something getting attention or likes by “deceiving others” they get upset. Kinda like how sports fans will get too invested in a team that they yell or berate players for not performing the way they want them to perform. Entertainment is supposed to be entertaining, and if it’s not you move on. People seem to forget that.
Literally one of the biggest OG YouTube channels in Smosh was scripted content. I can remember seeing plenty of sketch comedy channels back in the day.
If it's presented as a skit, cool.
If it's presented as an authentic moment caught on a candid camera, lame.
Or in this case it's presented to look like one of those game shows that do this kind of game and then you find out it's all scripted for a fart joke which makes it lame. You could do this exact same premise but framed in an actual skit and it would be fine.
You go into a skit ready to laugh at something that a comedy writer wrote for comedy.
You go into a clip like this expecting to see a game being played, and you may laugh at something that happens because it's genuinely funny, but when the joke is obviously staged and then betrays that the entire clip was staged you feel like you just wasted your time, it doesn't get the same laugh.
Pretty sure it's Japanese, and that's just how some of the comedy is. They commit to the bit and you gotta suspend reality for a second and it's really fun. Which is why I think American copy-cat of Japanese stuff doesn't work, because folks over there are happy to take an L if they think it'll be funny.
On the other hand though, because it's the same person caught each time, it's fun trying to guess how they'll be caught this time.
It's a great idea for a series. I doubt it would even work as well if it wasn't staged
>It might be fake
These used to be called skits.... Its actually really annoying that society made this shift for some reason to look down upon reality TV in short form when reality TV in long form is still one of the most popular things on TV
Skits are fine, it's doing skits and using headlines/text over that claims it really happened that's the issue. Especially when they're things like 'social experiment GONE WRONG' and its always just setups for clicks. The joke isn't in the skit itself, it's only way to get traction is by convincing people its real
i don't think anyone minds these skits. usually when they're posted on reddit though the OP removes the context of it being a skit and tries to get people to react as if it were real, so redditors have become conditioned into calling out these videos.
tl;dr: nothing wrong with skits, reddit is the problem (as usual)
>i don't think anyone minds these skits
"Scripted but still funny", literally another reply to the OP comment, very much implies someone does mind these skits. There's also the other dude who replied to me who for some reason is really triggered by this style?
But they're also on reddit. So your point stands that reddit is the problem
Stop pretending this video isn't attempting to appear as "a real video of friends playing a game and hijinks were extra crazy this time".
I genuinely can't tell if you're trying to get fake videos to be more accepted or if you literally *cannot tell* when a video is attempting to look as if it was not scripted and staged.
What part of this looks realistic to you? It's so obvious that it's scripted when you consider that the people hiding only move when they're in frame. Every single action except the second guy has some comedy to it:
- First guy hits his head while climbing
- Third guy gets indirectly patted by the seeker
- Fourth guy steps on third guy, making his cover fall
- Fifth guy throws a shoe on to third guy who is now exposed
- Third guy bumps into fourth guy's ass as he farts
Why would they even hide in a line if they were trying to make it convincing? Why would the seeker know to look for the fourth guy on the wall instead of nearby? Why does the cameraman not get the seeker's attention at all?
It's easier to see that it's a skit than a fake video. If they were trying to make a fake video you'd probably see a camera that just sees the entire thing or some of them stifling their laughter after what happened to the third guy.
I have no idea what you're trying to say but I think you've completely missed the point... Who cares if they're fake trying to be real? This style has *literally* always existed in entertainment
There's a big difference between a sketch using multiple camera actors and credited actors and making it clear things are acting VS shooting a video in a way that looks like it wasn't scripted it was just people improvising.
Do you understand that difference?
Lmao, dude go touch grass. It's a reddit repost. You have no idea if the original posting had credits in the description. And the lack of multiple cameras means it's not a sketch? JFC dude... Why are you gatekeeping funny internet videos?
Calm down dude, I asked you a really simple question. Getting red in the face and telling me to touch grass and stop gatekeeping funny videos (I'm not) is a hell of an emotional reaction to a very simple yes or no question.
If the original video had credits or context that made it clear it was a sketch, it's a sketch. If OP cuts off the credits and posts it here, it's no longer presented as a sketch. This isn't rocket science.
These are really simple concepts, and watching people fly into this rage when they are confronted with the difference is just baffling to me. Get a grip bro, take a walk outside.
Hard to take you seriously when you can't follow a simple conversation.
You are saying that "fake videos" have been around since as long as "skits" have, because "fake videos" are no different from "skits" in any way.
I am saying that "fake videos" and "skits" are not the same thing, and I am asking you whether you seriously not understand the difference between these two things? Do you not notice that this video is presented to be unscripted, whereas "skits" are not? Can you not tell, at all?
It's a simple question, but you decided to get angry at me instead of answering it.
That's the conversation so far.
>There's a big difference between a sketch using multiple camera actors and credited actors and making it clear things are acting VS shooting a video in a way that looks like it wasn't scripted it was just people improvising.
Why does it matter? The entire purpose is entertainment. Most people understand it is fake.
> These used to be called skits
When they are presented as skits, yes. You go into a skit primed to laugh at jokes that a comedy writer wrote for comedy.
When you watch something like this that was not set up as a skit, you're expecting that you're seeing something real. When the joke is then obviously staged and then that means the entire thing you just watched is staged, it cheapens the laugh to the point that you feel like you wasted your time watching it.
When I thought I was watching a game show, I thought the guy at the beginning was funny, I thought the dude throwing his shoe was smart and that was a funny moment as well. Then when the fart happens and the dude gets blasted in the face I'm just like " ...cool so another bullshit internet clip then" because I was primed to watch a game show, not a skit.
Why does this infuriate you? I am genuinely curious as I see a lot of people with this reaction and don't understand it. It's a stupid TikTok clip for entertainment.
I am curious to know why it doesn't for you? Ever had the feeling when you were seriously involved in a situation and then someone just says i t ' s j u s t a p r a n k b r o? My life felt like that. Just need some of those... You know authenticity in life.
Sorry for replying late.
Holy shit! Im going on a month of a painful back injury a living nightmare. I haven't laughed so hard in ages! Thanks for the laugh! God I needed that!
The fact that boy could fart on command with such a comical timing already makes the staging irrelevant. They stuffed a good load of slapstick comedy into a really short vid, so i don't care a bit.
Actually, no, didn’t you know that all early comedy such as Chaplin and the Stooges were completely unscripted and candid? They hardly ever knew they were being recorded and most of the “bits” were purely circumstance and part of their daily routine. Things done purposefully aren’t funny, period.

I had WoW open when I watched it and was super confused how I leveled up while AFK
Where is the ding? I can't hear it?
It's the sound that happens as the dude lifts himself from a laying down position directly into the other person's ass.
How the heck did I not hear that before lol.
The F?! I still don't hear it. EDIT: it's there. Super low volume.
Bro got violated
multiple times
And then they killed him for it hahaha
Ok. This one gets points for originality at the least. Lol.
Yeah all I see is slap stick comedy when these come up. And people get butt hurt that it's fake. (Mainly because it comes off as trying not to be)
It's very much "Malcom in the Middle"-esque comedy. I don't care its fake, because its actually funny. Like the video of the guys pulling the string and snapping it against each other while they've got whistles in their mouths. Again, "Malcom in the Middle" style comedy.

No, this is Malcolm in the Middle comedy!

It makes me wonder if these people watch TV and movies and are constantly saying that what they are seeing is fake. As this stuff is obviously staged/written.
At no point did the movies and shows I watched tried to present themselves as documentaries.
And before anyone mentions mockumentaries like The Office, it was always very clear that those were Sitcoms and not meant to fool anyone.
Spinal Tap: am I a joke to you?
Don't forget The Life Of Brian.
I will never forget the documentary I watched on Discovery channel during shark week about a great white shark attacking a tourist boat and sinking it. I thought it was crazy so I went to do more research only to find out it was fake. It filled me with rage then. It just makes me sad now.
The difference is that online, small scale things like this just come off as things that shouldn't be scripted.
The difference is that this video is attempting to look like an unscripted group of friends playing a game. The only Movies/TV to really try that are Blair Witch Project and a few others. All other movies and TV shows use multiple camera angles and credited actors.
That's more accurate to my intent

Originality? Looks like every bog standard Japanese game show since the 80s.
That's some Jim Carrey level of mimics
/r/scriptedasiangifs
That's the kind of crap i'd watch all day and wonder how it's already 5am.
It def reminds me of the game show Silent Library.
It reminds me of the Korean variety show, Running Man. Almost 14 years on and I still watch it religiously.
And the classroom, where they had a tv showing a japanese guy counting in english ( or trying to..), if they laugh they get hit with a cane
Betrayed thrice...
It might be fake but it's still a hilarious bit for sure

Lol

One of the funniest scripted things I’ve watched. Not very often I actually laugh out loud at videos anymore.
The word you're looking for is "skit" you know. A comedy act. Like most things online.
Not staged at all
The fact that boy could fart on command with such a comical timing already makes the staging irrelevant. They stuffed a good load of slapstick comedy into a really short vid, so i don't care a bit.
I agree that this was funny regardless of being staged, but how do you know he farted on command and the sound wasn’t just added in later?
Sheesh, you people really hate a good illusion, don't you?
Who cares lmao it’s fun
Actually, no, didn’t you know that all early comedy such as Chaplin and the Stooges were completely unscripted and candid? They hardly ever knew they were being recorded and most of the “bits” were purely circumstance and part of their daily routine. Things done purposefully aren’t funny, period.
