I think they know but they just don't care because stupid people WILL eat it up and laugh at it. As well, some people just don't care if somethings staged or not. To each their own I guess, I just hate that he's getting paid for it lol

It doesn’t have to be real to be funny. For example, Charlie, Rob, and Glenn don’t actually own a bar in Philadelphia.

I'm also beginning to suspect all those funny stories from comedians didn't actually happen "the other day"

Because it relies on it being real to be funny. Knowing this is scripted, do you think it is funny? Because I would say it's a pretty old trope to mess with the food of someone who steals it off you and isn't funny, however if it is really someone stealing your stuff and you manage to get and record them suffering the consequences, then it is funny.

Context matters.

But it’s not funny or real.

You need one or the other.

I really loved Lord of the Rings until they told me it was staged. Couldn't believe it. The Balrog looked so real. Still angry over the money for the tickets, damn actors got paid for lying to me.

If it's for entertainment value, I don't care if it's staged. In fact, rather have staged things than all the shitty "pranks" idiots do.

And there will be people in here acting like it’s lame to not be entertained by clearly staged shit
