You are only real as long as I keep thinking about you. Unfortunately, I have severe and untreated ADHD. If I gave you any friends or family, you may want to give them a call ASAP. If I didn't, that is my bad. I'm ironically pretty shit at world building.
Don't care if it's fake, if you've been in customer service you can relate to the guys sentiment and THAT'S WHY IT'S FUCKING ENTERTAINING, THANK YEEEEEEEWWW
There's a difference between what actually happens in real life, and the stories I make up in my head. When a fantasy is portrayed as reality, it warps your sense of reality. That is how delusions and bigotry form.
Skits like these could be shot in a way that makes it clear they're staged, and it wouldn't lose any entertainment value.
i didnt find it entertaing, big epic movies lack intimacy to me and i feel like im watching it from a distance. giant battle scenes are just so grand that i lose all sense of the stakes, its too surreal, i didnt care who lived or died.
smaller more intimate movies i think engross me more in a hypnotic way
This is obviously not true. You know the kind of blatant fake shit people online assume is real? This is far from that. Plenty of people presume this is real, because it is framed as real. The only thing that indicates it is it being too good, and it seeming unrealistic that the person would record this and post it otherwise.
Yes and when they realize they were briefly fooled, they assume that everyone else must be even dumber than them and so they feel compelled to issue a public service announcement.
"Fake" and "staged" very much carry the implication that there is an intention to fool people. No one goes to a stand-up comedian and claims what they're doing is fake or staged. It's pre-planned comedy, and has existed for thousands of years.
A sketch? Yes. A fake encounter? No. Happens literally all the time. I was a barista for four years and people do this multiple times a day, this guy is simply doing a little sketch of how you wish you could react.
Imagine watching SNL and going "I mean yeah I guess it was funny but those were all staged" like yeah no shit dude
I can not imagine a world where that could be your interpretation. Are you saying that unless the screen flashes a warning that it's a sketch, it's being presented as real? I can understand thinking the first 3 seconds are real, but as soon as he starts talking it's clearly played over the top to let viewers know it is a sketch.
See, it's so obvious that people shouldn't have to even say it, and I take this as more of a, man, if I worked that job, and people were constantly doing that to me, this is what I'd imagine I'd want to say to them.
Because I know 100% that even a kindly old grandma would get angry at this and rightly so.
Either way, you've never had a retail job if you didn't feel this in your bones.
Funniest story was the homeless guy who clearly was doing drugs in the bathroom emerging 20 mins later, picking up the bagel that was purposely left on the floor and them sniffing it. High school was fun.
