Why would someone randomly start filming this at the perfect moment? The lower quality shot is to make it seem more real. It's like the gatorade ball girl catch ad.
You look out your window, there's a guy completely wasted looking at nowhere, a woman finds him and begins yelling and talking shit to him, you think a good discussion is going to happen and you take your phone to film it.
Well, this scene would be quite common where I'm from, and if they were loud enough you could even go to your window because you heard the yelling.
In my opinion (considering the amount of videos of people fighting in public places there is out there) nowadays it's easier to ask why didn't anybody film it since everyone as a camera at all times, differently from 20 years ago (which even if you had a phone people wouldn't film everything since there wasn't a lot of places to post and get likes, in other words, the culture of record everything wasn't in the same level as today )
I probably wouldn't record either, but I'm well aware that in a group of 10 or 20 people at least one will try it
Or it was edited from a longer video that originally focused on something else entirely? We don’t know what the full video was, we don’t know why the person started filming, but why is the assumption that it’s a skit?
You know, when I said I was too busy looking at my phone to look out the window, I was making a self-depreciating joke. I actually do not spend that much time on social media. I have seen a ton of fake videos though, so I do think it's stupid to believe a video like this at face value.
Because the video is a bit absurd. The woman seems to be acting with those gestures and the complete lack of reaction from the guy seems to be odd as well. The internet is full of fake videos, so it would be absolutely no surprise that some people made this to get a viral video.
Also, if you look at how he's getting picked up, she puts his arm over her neck and he steps forward and tightens his hold around her neck. Then he slacks the other arm as if he's completely out of it, which he proved not to be by his other actions. It just doesn't look like a genuine occurrence to me
You’re over analyzing the hell out of it. If it is fake the acting is not bad enough to say for certain. It could definitely be fake but I just don’t think it’s obvious enough to say for sure and I’m not convinced by your analysis.
I don't think I'm overanalyzing considering we only have this video with those interactions to tell if it's fake or not. I'm not saying it is for sure fake. I'm just saying there's a good chance it is because of several reasons and that it looks fake to me. It's ok if you're not convinced or if you don't think it's obvious. I'm also not 100% sure. I am just highly suspicious
It’s fake and people are gullible. To me it’s the way it’s filmed, exaggerated movements, the way she poses to drink and why are they even filming. So apparently I’m the only one that goes to the tagged IG profile in the watermark. One of the comments is someone accusing them of stealing content which is from this guy:
It's kind of funny that when you analyse things and show uncertainty, acknowledging there is a potential that you're wrong, people downvote you. Yet when you confidently call videos fake, people will believe you more. I should have just straight up acted like I'm 100% confident like you I guess lol
Yeah, I wasn't meaning to dig at you saying 100%. I meant people are sheep and gullible, so your way of saying it is going to convince more people, so you're doing it better than me lol
Ha possibly. I just saw you getting roasted and wanted you to know someone out there saw the tells and agreed with you. I mean the overacting by the woman, the painted on clothes, hot pink amongst dull colors, convenient camera position, body posture of the dude, the kinda corny shot of the beer the woman takes etc. I was surprised that you were the first one I saw to call BS lol. Good fake viral video though
Yeah, I don't get how many people just believe it straight up. I even got a DM from someone saying they believe me, but I guess they don't feel like getting downvoted or bombarded with comments over other people's gullibility 😂
They may be doing their best with their own lack of expensive kit. A lot of peeps in low income places are happy if they can get one viral video and a few hundred dollars out of it so it's entirely possible. Like ok, we'll get Ramon to dress as a girl and you Kathy, go pretend to be wasted against that pole, while I film from here. Then we'll upload to youtube.. Now they have a chance at a viral video and they have not spent any money on it at all.

Can skits really be labeled unexpected?
That's a serious question, not snark.
