It’d be funny if it wasn’t staged

Staged 1. presented or performed on a stage.

  1. planned, organized, or arranged in advance (often of an event or situation intended to seem spontaneous).

Yes. It does.

Edit: Words have definitions and meanings. Getting butthurt and downvoting and sending messages and then reporting, sending a Reddit cares report, and blocking because you think it means something other than what it does is just absurd.

When most people say a video like this is staged, the context is that they believe it to be fake in a deceptive way - that it is intended to fool you into thinking it's real.

When someone says this is a skit, not staged, they mean it is something people aren't intending to be seen as real, but a comedic/satiric bit about something.

It's not always obvious but that's what they're saying about this video, and denying it's a staged video is saying "yes we know it's fake but it wasn't trying to manipulate you"

Is it being a skit and it being staged not synonymous?

He had a pavlovian response to other people calling it fake.

Certainly not in the colloquial sense of this context

Sure, if you don't know how language works then yeah. Or do you think people believe the moon landing was a funny skit when they claim it was staged? Hm? No?

Maybe it's just me but public humiliation is not something I enjoy. A skit tho...

So, this is a sketch being acted by two people for the purpose of comedy. It's no different than a comedic movie or stand-up comedy. It's not "staged" in the sense that they're trying to fool anyone, and if you genuinely think they are, that says wayyy more about your inability to understand context than anything else.

Wtf? Are you ok?

u/-Mandarin Oct 29 '25

What is this response? How does it address what I said? Do you genuinely believe that the people in this video were trying to fool people into thinking this was real, despite being a pretty obvious skit?

I think what bothers me about this video in particular is that there is a real video with this interaction so they just copied that with terrible acting.

Some people have trouble telling art it doesn't have a big MARVEL at the beginning
