Yeah, all these people saying "staged" on comedy videos is getting old. It's a skit... for us. Like, obviously, it's staged. That's the point. It's called "acting."
Not just that, but reddit is probably a fraction of a percent of the viewers of this clip, so all the sleuths here are the equivalent of one guy way in the corner of the room yelling "staged!"
I'm more upset about the fact she thinks she has to lie. I tell my boss nothing except I won't be coming in. I've done this in multiple industries from food service to government work, from Florida to Alaska. The video is creating a problem that isn't there.
The problem is that the skits mostly get engagement from the uncanny valley of their performances creating the rage.
It's why DiWhy is a thing and stupid food.
Content creators are actually most successful when things are sold in a way where it's all improvised so that the audience can participate with the skit.
I am a man who was raised without a male figure in my life. I didn’t know this was common for men to be uncomfortable with issues that women experience when I became a people leader. My transparency with those issues surprised others but quickly endeared me to both my female and male colleagues. The women I worked with knew they could trust me to understand and the men knew they could just push those issues off on me.
They’re wrong, it less of making them uncomfortable and more making the woman uncomfortable. What am I gonna do? Ask for a pic of her shit? Best way to handle it is to ask for a doctor’s note which still requires your incontinent booty to make your way over to the doctor; better to just not have her go through the troubles
There's literally like an entire trope of "woman needs excuse for something so she tells man in authority position that she's having personal troubles and the man immediately stutters and clams up and lets her go"
It’s not like that everywhere. If I (f) said that to my (m) boss the whole team would know. No one would touch door handles and anyone looking even slightly queasy would be sent home. I recently had to have a breast biopsy and I had to bypass him for my sick certificate cause I know he’d not be able to keep it to himself. It’s not malicious, he just can’t shut the fuck up.
are you going around touching things with the inside of your elbow? and if you say that coughing in your hands is better because you wash them, do you do so every time after coughing, and without touching anything on the way there?
You're still spreading bacteria around even if it's in your elbow. They get airborne. And yes, I do wash my hands after coughing or sneezing in them, do you not?
You still spread germs if you wear a mask. The difference is that it greatly reduces the amount of airborne germs, just like coughing into your elbow does.
Coughing into your hands reduces airborne germs, yes, but now it's all over your hands. I don't think you or everyone else is going to be washing their hands after every single sneeze or cough, especially during flu season.
And you're not opening doorknobs and shaking hands with the inside of your elbow. In fact, I don't think anything touches the inside of your elbow except your bicep/ forearm, maybe edges of tables and your hands if you deliberately touch it.
Would you be ok if someone constantly licked their hands, but washed them (almost) every time? It's pretty much the same thing. Realistically, people are not washing their hands after every cough.
When I know I'm gonna need to call in the next day, I always start casually mentioning to coworkers that my throat is starting to feel funky. And my smoker's cough helps sell it.
It really is just a reddit thing for people to say shit like, "Don't cough in your hands".
Like I get it. You're just gonna spread it more by doing so. But it's only reddit that's gonna cry about it.
The same way reddit has this weird thing about kids. You scare them once on camera, and all of a sudden, that kid will have severe trauma, according to reddit..
I have excellent staff and love to treat them well. Bonuses and etc.
But I have one staff member that abuses the hell out of his 10 paid sick days each year and it makes me reluctant to treat all of the staff when one abuses the system.
It's not a great trait on my end, but this is how I feel.

It's a comedy skit for TikTok, what do y'all mean conveniently placed camera?
Did you go to the theater to watch Titanic and thought "damn they got lucky all these cameras were there to film this".
Yeah, all these people saying "staged" on comedy videos is getting old. It's a skit... for us. Like, obviously, it's staged. That's the point. It's called "acting."
That's bullshit!
Real acting is holding on to a door instead of climbing on it until you freeze to death and sink to the bottom of the ocean, not this staged crap!
But it’s never advertised that way, and I think that’s where the criticism comes from.
Yeah but that takes TWO steps to reason through. Too much for your average redditor.
The problem is just there’s never a distinction made. I’m jaded as well
I think in this case, the distinction is her coughing vs his genuine reaction.
Like, sometimes they're real, but those would generally just be from security footage, or something interrupting an otherwise planned video.
Anything else is staged, but for our entertainment.
Not just that, but reddit is probably a fraction of a percent of the viewers of this clip, so all the sleuths here are the equivalent of one guy way in the corner of the room yelling "staged!"
It's so annoying. They always act like some enlightened being showing us "idiots" the truth.
Skits were done on Vine. Staged content is primarily new gen shit.
There's, in fact, a difference.
You say "it's obviously staged" but half the people watching believe it's real. And that's not even why people say "staged" or "fake".
The videos are just cringe, bro.. co-worker humor..
I mean, people can be dumb, sure. There's people that think the Earth is flat.
But that doesn't mean a funny video needs to be discredited because it wasn't spontaneous or random. Most entertainment isn't.
Am I wrong to think that the original point of this sub was for real interactions? What's the point in faking "youseeingthisshit"?
I'm more upset about the fact she thinks she has to lie. I tell my boss nothing except I won't be coming in. I've done this in multiple industries from food service to government work, from Florida to Alaska. The video is creating a problem that isn't there.
Skits don't pretend to be real to convince people it's genuine.
If the door can't hold 2 people, then how is the camera man there??
There is too large a segment of society that basically are the aliens from Galaxyquest...

The beauty of working in a male dominated field is that I can easily tell my boss I’ve had diarrhea all night without any confirmation needed.
Are you saying there's a career path where if you call in and tell your boss you have diarrhea, they will try to validate it?
Many, many bosses will not let you take sick days without a doctor's note. So yes
What does that have anything to do with a male dominated field though? Are females more prone to asking for a doctor's note?
A male boss is less likely to question a woman's personal issues because it makes them uncomfortable
I am a man who was raised without a male figure in my life. I didn’t know this was common for men to be uncomfortable with issues that women experience when I became a people leader. My transparency with those issues surprised others but quickly endeared me to both my female and male colleagues.

Yeah no that's wrong. Thanks for mansplaining though!
Okay my apologies, why would it make the man uncomfortable then?
There's literally like an entire trope of "woman needs excuse for something so she tells man in authority position that she's having personal troubles and the man immediately stutters and clams up and lets her go"
Also most men have had the explosive shits, and can relate.
In the US maybe
Self certification for first 7 days in the UK with no Drs note required
My US job gives me 2 days lol
Yes, as a man with a female boss, I have to send pictures of the toilet when I am shitting myself all night. It's quite embarrassing.
It’s not like that everywhere. If I (f) said that to my (m) boss the whole team would know. No one would touch door handles and anyone looking even slightly queasy would be sent home.

I have my folks call that going number 3 or can’t trust a cough. Means diarrhea or puking. No one wants that around at work.
Who tf coughs right on their fingers like that wtf?
Yea that really fucked me up
Me, I spread uncle nurgle's blessings
Far too many people. I'm a bit tired of reminding coworkers to wash.
Arguably worse than the open mouth no cover cough children be doing
Don't cough into your hands folks. Fake cough or not.
Yes, always find someone to cough in theirs instead.
Don't kink shame. ;)
So just cough into the air? Come on dude
Into the inside of your elbow?
That's gross, how are you gonna wash that?
Do you not shower?
The point is to not get the germs on a part of the body that goes around touching everything else.
Surely you’ve seen the flyers if you’re American?

I'm sorry, but do you not wash your hands..? How are you gonna shower your clothes, just because it's on a poster doesn't make it any less gross.
are you going around touching things with the inside of your elbow? and if you say that coughing in your hands is better because you wash them, do you do so every time after coughing, and without touching anything on the way there?
You're still spreading bacteria around even if it's in your elbow. They get airborne. And yes, I do wash my hands after coughing or sneezing in them, do you not?
no i do not, i dont cough into my hands
Gross. Simple as.
Doing a bit of trolling, are we?

Coughing into your hands reduces airborne germs, yes, but now it's all over your hands. I don't think you or everyone else is going to be washing their hands after every single sneeze or cough, especially during flu season.
Do you immediately wash your hands after each cough? And hope there's no doors to open on the way?
Yes, and you just use your non-dominate hand to open the doors...
A shower for your clothes is called laundry...
And you're not opening doorknobs and shaking hands with the inside of your elbow. In fact, I don't think anything touches the inside of your elbow except your bicep/ forearm, maybe edges of tables and your hands if you deliberately touch it.
Would you be ok if someone constantly licked their hands, but washed them (almost) every time? It's pretty much the same thing. Realistically, people are not washing their hands after every cough.
Do you not shower with your clothes on? Weirdo
Are you kidding? Anyway, the point is that you're covering the cough, but not with your hands, so you won't spread germs by touching things later.

Bro...
Coincidentally, there's a camera running. Not fake at all then.
Nothing escapes you huh?
Do you think it was meant to be real? Do you think sitcoms are real?

You're fucking everyone over, Cindy.
Sounds entirely like a you problem.
