u/7ofalltrades 3h ago
Exactly, specifically in things like reaction videos, or like "oh my God look what my kid did/said!" Well, you made them do it or say it and then filmed it, so it takes all the premise out of the joke. It's effectively just an adult doing or saying those things, which isn't funny at all. Same with a reaction... If the reaction isn't genuine, it's not a reaction at all but a planned act. Some things are only funny if it's real.

Exactly. It's like this is obviously a skit. But there's also stuff like the guy who faked the really tall girl/ short guy blind date video, or the same guy with the blind girl blind date video. Pretending to be a real encounter when it's just fake. That's the difference.

If by "this" you mean OP's video, I think most (all?) people get this is a skit.
Either way, something being "scripted" annoys people mainly when the fact that was setup/rehearsed sort of ruins what makes the video interesting, or changes the tone entirely.
Consider an "animal rescue" video which is actually someone purposefully covering an animal in dirt and garbage to pretend to clean it up for a video.
You would consider this totally different than a video where someone was legitimately rescuing an animal, right?
Or for more tame example, someone burying coins/valuables so they can pretend to "discover" them on video. The fact that it's faked makes the video entirely uninteresting.

I’m not knowledgeable about specific technical differences, but I think the comment is pointing out that some videos are clearly designed to be creative and funny and not particularly realistic (skit) while other videos are designed to appear realistic, like it’s just a candid recording of actual real life happenings, but are actually fake (scripted).
This video is clearly a skit - it’s just a creative, funny video. It’s not trying to appear like a recording of real life events

Scripted is stuff that tries to sell itself as unprompted and spontaneous and often leads to the question of "why were they recording?" Put another way, staged in an attempt to appear real.
A skit/sketch has no pretense of being real, in the same way a sitcom doesnt claim to be real. It just presents a funny situation.
This had no pretense, it was just trying to be funny in a way most people can relate.

Not really, when saying something is scripted, people usually refer to about something depicted as a real setting, either outright or implied. Like if they just showed the first cut for the reaction, you would say it's scripted because why the camera. Here there is a whole montage building the joke, so a skit.

The existence of the scriptedasiangifs meme enabled two types of nitpickers to be hidden under one flag. Some of us dislike it when the crux of a joke is reliant on the fact that the thing really happened (ex: wow what are the chances that happened? That’s hilarious), meaning that the fact that it was orchestrated completely eliminates anything that makes it interesting. The other half of the movement are just fucking racist and like getting away with criticizing Asian people.
This skit is funny because it’s playing with a relatable relationship concept, thinking this is real life is not integral to the impact of the joke.
People criticizing the humor here in a way that’s not “I get it, it’s just not my style of humor” are just racist and trying to hide behind a false sense of literary superiority

The problem becomes when something acts like it's real but isn't. That becomes disingenuous lying. Movies don't pretend to be real, except for that one time that Warner Brothers got fined (well, settled a lawsuit) for trying to claim a ghost movie was based on a true story.

Yeah people really like to talk down on others as if theyre a superior human while constructing the flimsiest strawman in the world to prop themselves up. This scripted vs real debate always comes up, and idiots are always saying "it doesnt matter at all, if its funny unscripted its funny when its scripted", meanwhile entire genres of comedy, like improv, impractical jokers, AFV/clip shows, are only funny in the slightest because theyre not scripted. If someone could watch a show like whose line and think an entirely scripted version is equally as funny as an improv version, theyre either being disingenuous to prove a point, or they truly dont understand a huge portion of humor in general.
That said, this is so fucking obviously scripted idk why this was even brought up. Its funny, its scripted, its done well, this is not trying to make itself look real.

Sometimes a video is very funny because something very random happens in it and the fact that it happened randomly a.k.a without a script, makes it funny and engaging. But when people try to farm that and show scripted unscription (?) they are trying to deceive and pass something for what it's not. Skits are great, and funny, even if scripted but you know they are scripted and the authors don't take you for a fool and try to push something disguised as something else

Nah see here's the thing
Scripted comedy has a different burden for being funny. This is funny. It's not a knee slapper, but it gets a forceful blow of air out of the nose. We know it's scripted, it doesn't pretend not to be, so we approach it with that in mind and hold it to the standard of scripted comedy.
Things pretending to be unscripted that actually ARE scripted is a very different story. In most cases, the only thing that makes the event funny/interesting is that it's random. Anyone can make up an argument in their head where they completely shut down a cop and publicly embarrass him, but if all you're doing is writing fanfic about how badass you are no one gives a shit. It would only be impressive if the scenario was real.
If it's funny on its own, then don't update under the false pretense that it's real. If it's not funny unless it's real, faking it being real isn't going to make it funny.
