A prank. Did anyone here actually find it to be funny?
As a matter of fact, I did.
Maybe I’m uptight (probably) but I think all pranks that mock someone for not knowing something are just mean. We all have stuff we don’t know, and we should encourage an atmosphere where people feel safe to admit what they don’t know, rather than feeling pressure to pretend they know everything. And by this I mean men.
The idea is funny enough that, when that clip began circulating, I considered posting it.
But then I watched it and decided not to. Genuine fear usually isn’t funny.
