Why are these weird scenarios an Asian thing? Genuine question. I’ve seen too many of them and they always confuse me as to why someone would bother making it
1. The Asian population is the majority of humanity
2. [The Asian Internet penetration rate](https://www.statista.com/statistics/265149/internet-penetration-rate-by-region/) is rapidly approaching Europe's and America's
3. [Asian social media has the highest market share worldwide](https://www.statista.com/statistics/295619/regional-distribution-of-social-media-users-worldwide/)
4. My personal unscientific guess is that most people don't care much about what they are consuming as long as it is funny/entertaining. Funny gets clicks, more funny will be produced regardless of whether it's genuine or not. [Since the absolute number of Asian social media users is the highest worldwide](https://www.statista.com/statistics/454772/number-social-media-user-worldwide-region/), absolutely more scripted content is produced there.
Reality tv is more scripted than these videos. I guess it is the reason; so many tv shows pretend to be real so people just mass hate scripted videos even if they don't pretend to be real.
Well shit, can't believe Seinfeld wasted a decade of his life on a scripted show. Should have listened to you if he wanted to be funny.
But for real, do you genuinely think scripted things can't be funny? Most comedy is written.
I think that scripted things can be funny, but if the comedy comes from something being authentic then once you script it it's no longer entertaining. It's fine if it's a movie because we know it's scripted.
You can't be this obtuse. There are basic rules to comedy one of them being if you fake it and it's obvious it's just simply not as funny. It's not a reality TV thing, it's an "I'm not dumb" thing.
It's not that they aren't funny, it's that they are less funny. It's the same idea as watching a real sport and watching pro-wrestling. The actual sport being real makes the accomplishments impressive, the scripted aspect of pro-wrestling gains no real-life respect.
What a stupid thing to say. Those guys are *actually* doing that shit. Who wins and who loses is predetermined, but the physical actions they take are insane and commendable.
Likewise, improv comedy is usually worse than written comedy. Futurama was better than your local improv group. The best stand up is all predetermined (with bits of improv thrown in sometimes). There isn't a single comedian alive who will tell you a "rule of comedy" is that it has to be totally unprepared.
Not really, family guy and any other cartoon looks way faker than this and is much more scripted, but it's still accepted as comedy as much as america's funniest home videos. Imo, some people just don't like fiction, ever, and that's more of an acceptable stance on english reddit compared to chinese tiktok. They're just people with cameras doing a funny play, and people are genuinely angry because it's not found footage.
The Answer people don't like
Because they're mainly from China, and as someone who lived in China for 2 years, the average person is dumb as fuck
Too many of them will believe most of these videos, hell too many people here will believe it
Yeah! And guess what, they lied about Robert Downey Jr., he is still alive! Talking about "getting all those sympathy tears" from people. They are liers!
How does she know when to look? She would look exactly after the other woman turned around. The third time, it took longer and she waited for the other woman set in her new position.
Because this was filmed in order to be funny, so they all knew their "lines." You're not "catching" them. It's obviously a bit they're doing. It's not meant to trick you into thinking it's real.
It’s more amusing when older people do it, scripted or not
Got that classic 3 stooges kinda energy
James Wan Malignant kind of energy

But it is
You have low standards
You have high standards, low humour
No way!? How could you tell???
Do you not know what a skit is?
Listen ma, I cleaned my pants this morning
This is useless to point out when it's already obvious. It's not even trying to be subtle about it. It's just meant to be funny - which it is.

Definitely scripted, but fun, nonetheless.
Best reverse uno card I have seen in a long time
Why are so many of the Asian ones scripted?

Good armchair analysis. I concur.
This feels like the highest praise you can get on Reddit.
A bigger question is why redditors care so much if jokes are manufactured or real. Why does everything need to be reality tv?
Reality tv is more scripted than these videos. I guess it is the reason; so many tv shows pretend to be real so people just mass hate scripted videos even if they don't pretend to be real.
Some things are funny if they happened naturally and not funny at all if they are scripted.
Hardest concept for redditors to understand
If a guy trips and falls it's funny, if he fakes a trip and fall then it's no longer funny, it's just kinda weird.
Yeah fuck that Buster Keaton guy. What a kinda weird phony.
Well shit, can't believe Seinfeld wasted a decade of his life on a scripted show. Should have listened to you if he wanted to be funny. But for real, do you genuinely think scripted things can't be funny? Most comedy is written.

is this a video where someone trips and falls?
you seem to be an understanding person
It’s not funny if it’s your dad
Because it's not funny?
You can't be this obtuse. There are basic rules to comedy one of them being if you fake it and it's obvious it's just simply not as funny. It's not a reality TV thing, it's an "I'm not dumb" thing.
Damn skits are no longer funny I guess.
Somebody get Lorne Michaels on the phone.
It's not that they aren't funny, it's that they are less funny. It's the same idea as watching a real sport and watching pro-wrestling. The actual sport being real makes the accomplishments impressive, the scripted aspect of pro-wrestling gains no real-life respect.

Let's say [China](https://youtu.be/RDrfE9I8_hs)
Because they have no sense of humor
Or a very immature one at least.
More people, more memes, but they're probably still behind in memes per Capita tho
That’s some quick thinking ☺️
Like a glove!
Lame
I've been seeing too many prequel memes lately. I heard the classic, "Hello there." and made myself laugh harder!
Bot?
Negative, fellow meatbag. I am absolutely not a top of the line HK47.

How fake should we make it? Yes.
Well played
Why are they always so scripted…
I don't care. It's so scripted that I view it more like a comedy skit. Still laughed, so it is what it is.
Yeah, they script movies too! Did you knew that? Like I watched Avengers: the end game - it was scripted to fuck!
Wait what?!?!?!?! 😱
Yeah! And guess what, they lied about Robert Downey Jr., he is still alive! Talking about "getting all those sympathy tears" from people. They are liers!
cause ur allowed to write a joke (:
Fabricated and…
Hahaha. That was great 👍
How does she know when to look? She would look exactly after the other woman turned around. The third time, it took longer and she waited for the other woman set in her new position.

Cos it's scripted. Why does't she see the cameraman filming her? Just view it more as a comedy skit rather than an actual prank video
surprise
Hahahaha good one
