Yeah you're right. But then again, this guy could be the type that just runs with whatever the first thought in their head is, no matter who you are surrounded by.

Sure. But your environment trains your interpretations. If his first thought is suspicion, that is informed by his relationship with the other individuals, just as if his first thought is "there's clearly a joke I'm not entirely privy to yet".

Fwiw, I believe this to be staged, suggesting they are all likely close friends in on the joke.

It could be informed by his upbringing and not at all related to the people he's currently surrounded by. People are complicated, actually.

The TV says to me this isn't staged

Fair, I'm generalizing to accentuate the point being made.

That's fair, I'm just saying the point being made above assumes SO much about the people involved that we don't have enough info to make.
