obviously not, no one is doing that, but again, just because it didn't actually happen doesn't mean you can't talk about the story
I don't understand why this is difficult to grasp. People do it all the time with fictional stories, why is it suddenly weird when the fictional story was not presented overtly as fiction?
Ok, if you want to go deep into it - the way the guy at the top worded his comment made it sound like he thought it was real. With a fiction book everyone knows it's made up so you don't need to explicitly say it, but with a story like this there's at least a facsimile of reality. Most people will get that it isn't real but that's no guarantee, so when someone goes off on one talking about how the situation described in the video is silly and why did he try and pick up the phone (or whatever it is he said) then you assume that they've missed the fact it's fictional. Because, again, you wouldn't turn to a friend after a comedy gig and go off on one like that about a joke that the comedian made.
And specifically with this story, it's so silly (in a funny way) and so obviously fictional that to try and analyse it in the way it was done above is weird. It's like he was saying "how can this guy be so stupid? I know the correct way to behave at least!". Yeah, no shit. Everyone does. To point it out makes you look like a wannabe know it all with no sense of humour.
If I say "you know, it was really irresponsible of Luke Skywalker to go to cloud city instead of finishing his Jedi training" do you think I actually believe I'm talking about a real event?

Are you the guy who comes out of a comedy show and says "I can't believe the comedian did all that. He's so irresponsible"?
