    If you read through the comments, you will begin to notice that many of them are generic phrases that could apply to pretty much any video. THings like "core memories right there" or some variation of "the best" such as The best lol, the best, or OMG, thats the best!

    It's like the wilhelm scream. Once you begin to pick up on the similarities, you will be completly unable to ignore them.

    Except, I actually know people who unironically interact on this level. I'm not saying it's not bots, I'm saying you're radically underestimating the bot-like mentality of a lot of people.

    True. It's a coincidence when the kid acts as if he knew what to expect in a viral video.

    it appears we do not see their pinkie on that hand, nor their ring finger on the right hand the entire time. you can see how they make sure the phone is low enough that the kids can’t see that either. and then lower it more when they get closer

    It's just a fake little hand on his either ring or pinky finger. It's probably the ring finger, because it's longer. Notice you never see the tips of either of those fingers.
