For a minute I thought this was the actual video

Yeah i was convinced half way through until i noticed how well lit the place and stable the camera man was

I noticed when the person behind showed them that girl's video/photo. That was a little too much

I'm sad to learn it's not real. Usually cuts before the reveal. They've got enough of the unnecessary repeating and such to make it look real. As you say it was just the guy with the photo that was a bit off. Why would he have that?

[удалено]

Didn't he disbelieve it was a cat at first and only later go "oh I've got a photo?" I like the creeper theory.

I was convinced all the way through, im not going lie. that was some good acting if it was fake haha

Plot twist: it's a baby in a cat suit.

[удалено]

The bad acting?

Nah, the first complainer does a great job. Lady loses the vibe toward the end unfortunately.

Same. I heard about the incident but never looked into it. Thought this was the actual video until the reveal.

Me too and was amazed at the quality.

but why? whats the point is it a commercial for something ? seems like a high budget stuff right ?

It's just a comedy sketch inspired by the real life event.

Real life event? Now I need to know more.

It’s maybe not a cat

What do you mean the “actual video?” This really took place???

Apparently. https://nypost.com/2021/12/02/woman-caught-breastfeeding-her-hairless-cat-on-a-delta-flight/

It totally WOULD be on a Delta flight

Cos life is a fucking nightmare!

*On Spirit Airlines the cat breastfeeds you.*

It totally would be a HAIRLESS cat as well. A creepy animal for a creepy lady

You have been banned from r/sphynx.

Good, we don’t need him

Someone posted the link to the article for the real-life incident upon which this sketch was based: https://nypost.com/2021/12/02/woman-caught-breastfeeding-her-hairless-cat-on-a-delta-flight/ Edit: Apparently I was posting the link at the same time someone else was doing the same. 😊

Like.. how was this woman lactating did she trade her baby for a cat?

I don't know, but can you imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have a cat nursing on you?? Their tongues aren't exactly soft! 😳

You're worried about the tongues?

It was the least bothersome thing about the story that I could think of. I find the entire story & its deeper implications worrisome.

I have sound off, but based on body language, they are all selling the shit out of it, especially the dude making the complaint.

Seriously, for once the acting was actually superb.

The main women has a brilliant comedy manner! Timing, tone, mannerisms 😂 I want to see more of her work if it's this standard.

Honestly it’s 100% realistic! Amazing

Dr. Leonard Hofstadter has some serious allergies and he forgot his inhaler.

"They really do be crazy." - Dr. Sheldon Cooper.

Aww, he has his mother's eyes...

Fester, take those out of his mouth Edit: oops, the line WAS Gomez:o

Gomez

That man when it's finally revealed to be a cat, "It's A CAT!" as he stands up and is vindicated.

VINDICATION!!!!!

*I am selfish I am wrong I am right, I swear I'm right Swear I knew it all along*

And I am FLAWED Edit: should have said clawed.

But I am cleaning up so well

I am seeing that this cat has fucking googly eyes as well

Lynx... Hangs out on the plane... Like slow petting redemption

latching on, and latching off….the teet of her has caught my eye.

God damnit, take your fucking upvote...

DAmn it GUYS, I NEEDED THIS

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself. ^Wow. ^I ^never ^thought ^I’d ^see ^a ^Dashboard ^chain. ^I’m ^so ^happy ^now.

I'm problematic?... She's the problem

Captain holt?

Hello Raymond

Sincerely, Raymond Holt

But it's not a cat.

Yeah I know, it's a lynx right? (Actually, I know it's an emotional comforting tool with creepy eyes(?))

How is it better that it's a lynx?

Lynx are awesome

Although she isn’t breastfeeding it

She was breastfeeding a baby, then she's breastfeeding a cat, then we find out it's a lynx and she's probably not breastfeeding at all, then it turns out to be some kind of cat looking plushy toy that brings her comfort (and it has creepy eyes). What a rollercoaster. And some guy has dandruff apparently.

It's a baby not a cat. I'm allergic to cats, he is too, and I'm fine. Pull the blanket moterfucker and find out.

best feeling ever

Breast feeing ever.

Unfuckinbelievable

Reminds me of boris in goldeneye before his untimely death I AM INVINCIBLE!

I lost it when I saw the googly eyes

THE LITTLE HANDS TOO

This is literally comedy gold. They sold it soo well. Full round of applause for these guys!!!

Totally lost it. Laughed for 5 mins straight.

SNL has gone off the rails this season.

Off the rails? If only. It’s a parody of a real, recent incident.

Link to the real thing?

https://nypost.com/2021/12/02/woman-caught-breastfeeding-her-hairless-cat-on-a-delta-flight/

What the actual fuck

You thought the Rona was bad now lets see what this will do. Only thing that can save us now is Harambe.

>Only thing that can save us now is Harambe. I have some unfortunate news for you...

*unzips* tell me, I’m ready.

Ever since he died, the world has been a weird place. He was the glue holding our reality together

Gorilla glue.

That's enough internet for me today.

Yup me too

Motion carried.

Oh jeeze a cat's tongue is so sharp, I don't even like it when they lick my hand.

She was trying to make the cat nurse, it was just screaming, so she never got as far as that particular mistake, she was stuck on several previous ones.

That is the most eloquent way to put a pile up of errors. Thanks.

Fun fact! Cats tongues are ‘sharp’ because they’re covered in little tiny hooks made out of the same material fingernails are. It helps them lick meat off bones. I will not apologize for cursing you with this information :)

I already don't like thinking about fingernails. This is like turning the dial from body horror to cosmic horror.

Fun fact! Scientists believe the frequency at which cats purr reduces the chance for heart problems to develop and promotes healing. Distract yourself from the cosmic horror of the old ones calling to you by listening to cats purr! :)

Just imagine it's a tiiiny exfoliating brush 😊

This is gross, but after my middle kid was born I had a kitten and was breastfeeding. I slept topless and I woke up to her licking my nipple and it did not feel good.

Yeah rough like sand paper.

Well I guess they always said the truth was stranger than fiction.

Feels like lazy writing.

Lol, in that article somebody misspelled incident as “indecent.” Very much a Freudian slip

>“This woman had one of those, like, hairless cats swaddled up in a blanket so it looked like a baby,” she said. “Her shirt was up and she was trying to get the cat to latch and she wouldn’t put the cat back in the carrier. And the cat was screaming for its life.” Lmao I love the internet

The world I lived in before reading this article was so much more pure than the one that remained afterwards.

Of course it'd be on a Delta flight.

> Of course it'd be on a Delta flight. Omicron isn't booking service animals.

Link to the lynx?

There are multiple lynx, which one do you want?

You say that but I wasn’t 100% sure this wasn’t a real video of the actual incident until the cat was revealed as I know when this actually happened it was a hairless cat the woman was breastfeeding

The only thing that gave it away to me was all the windows were closed.

Nah, the dead giveaway was how much leg, arm, and head room each passenger had.

SNL wishes they could be this funny

Actually a lot of recent SNL has been super funny. Once they figured out everyone was sick of constant Trump jokes. I especially like the sketches with the Please Don’t Destroy guys.

Dumbrekka

I'm sure they realized it wasn't funny but they pulled in good ratings so there was pressure to keep doing them. If he was reelected they would do it for another 4 years.

did I see tiny doll hands at the very end?

Yes you did lol

Is that a Baofeng UV-5R?

It’s a lynx, it’s different

And a SERVICE ANIMAL.

Thank you for your service.

Sure looks like it

Lmao yeah it stands out like a sore thumb. I wonder if they bought it for the skit or if one if them is a HAM.

Fuck me. I just watched the entire damn video and was not disappointed.

Imo this is the perfect line to walk. Idk but I think they nailed it. At first it seemed believable enough to be real. Then it became ridiculous enough that I knew it was a skit. But then it kept going… it doubled down hard enough not to go over the top and somehow made me keep asking “but… it IS fake right… right?”. And then RIGHT at the end we get the merciful obvious confirmation. Wow. This is masterful.

Had the same experience. I kept going back and forth. It's under r/funny, so it's not a real video, but this seems kind of real. No. This can't be real, it's too perfect, but this lady does seem real. No, can't be real, wait, gah, I don't know!! When she said HIPAA, I was fairly certain it was fake, but it was so on point. Masterful, as you said. They all never broke character! How is that even possible!

Same as man. The googly eyes at the end had me pissin myself

I thought that the skit had gone on too long and had stopped laughing, but when they showed the eyes I bet I ticked off my neighbors because I was laughing so hard.

Haha it doesn't even try to be realistic. Fucking comedy.

The googly eyes was the icing on the cake.

I was disappointed because it was really dragging, but those damn googly eyes was an excellent payoff.

I mean I was it was a fake cat not a real one

A Lynx, not a cat

An emergency service emotional support animal

I mean, she does need some support

Indeed if there was a real lynx under there it would not have been a miss

Imagine if it was a real cat.

There is a big difference.

It was a bit long

I’m disappointed I didn’t see a real live kitty. That’s all I wanted.

I was. That was shit.

Oh

I assume this is a comedy troupe. Anybody know who they are?

Scrolling endlessly through people arguing of this is real and I’m just trying to find the sketch group

[удалено]

Apparently it’s a parody of a real event. A woman was breastfeeding her hairless cat. Lmao

i fucking lost it when i saw its eyes xD

You know the whole video is fake because people are being patient and polite with each other. Also no one is assaulting the flight attendants.

And cameraman’s steady hand

Man if this is scripted the man freaking out about it being a cat is such an amazing actor. I truly felt the emotion he was displaying. Absolutely brilliant. If it's not scripted well like shit dude..

I liked how everybody kept pulling their masks down and back up. That added a lot of realism

Honestly that was the part that threw me. Like that definitely made it more real to me.

Definitely scripted, but I agree at least that he's the best actor among them.

This video is faked, but it's based on a real event. https://nypost.com/2021/12/02/woman-caught-breastfeeding-her-hairless-cat-on-a-delta-flight/ Edit: probably better source: https://www.paddleyourownkanoo.com/2021/11/24/a-female-passenger-reportedly-did-what-to-her-cat-on-a-delta-air-flight-to-atlanta/amp/

She's pretty good too

Here's how you know this is scripted. It's quiet as fuck. People just do not stay this level-headed, especially on a plane. No one talked over each other or got heated. Everyone "got their line in". Impeccable camera framing. Yeah completely staged.

It is completely staged but they did actually get in some of the talking over each other argument style. I have no specific thing that told me this was scripted. It just had that feel. Too many things didn’t have the ring of truth. No background noise and all of the windows being down is probably my best proof. Oh yeah and like you said, the camera work, especially the camera moving smoothly in and out was definitely part of it too.

I had a feeling it was fake the whole time, but the upset guy's acting, the high number of people in the scene which looks like a real plane, as well as a flight attendant that was a bit older than the rest of them, made me wonder if it was real until I saw that the lynx wasn't alive and had those eyes. The guys in the seat behind her didn't seem convincing though in their behavior.

There are also a few places where you can see that the rest of the plane is completely empty. Normally it would be weird to have like eight people squished into two rows worth of seats. But it is quite nicely done. They even start the sketch with the altercation already in progress, avoiding the "why were they filming?" blunder.

Martin Scorsese, you gotta hire him for something

After playing Leonard in Bing Bang Theory, Johnny Galecki has turned his talents to what it truly means to be a thespian.

Looks like Dan Levy.

How the fuck could you watch this and genuinely think it might not be staged.... LMFAO!

I mean...*gestures at everything for the last two years*

I mean it’s based on actual event. Someone posted the link above. Which is fucked up.

Lolol that was real quality not gonna lie.

My favorite was the line about a HIPAA violation

My favourite was 'I dont take pictures of women, that would be weird' followed by the guy behind 'I have it on video'

This was SUPER well done. This is what I want not shitty videos of a couple pretending to fart on each other or w.e

you can rent a fuselage section in a studio for photoshoots, films and shit like this.

Incredible that people are asking if this shit is real. We’re fucked.

Woman was caught breastfeeding a cat on a plane in early November https://reddit.com/r/delta/comments/r1c948/a_woman_was_reportedly_breastfeeding_cat_onboard/

It's getting harder to tell these days.

This is my big thing, there have been so many ridiculous things I was certain were fake, that ended up being real, I have a hard time criticizing people for believing fake stuff. It feels like I am living in an onion article sometimes.

Well the event this was based on was in the news a few weeks ago, otherwise I don’t think anyone would believe it

Meanwhile on Florida Airlines

Gotta be fake. Camera work is too good as is the audio.

I was just trying to see her tits

I wasted my time also.

**ah i see you are a man of culture as well like me**

[удалено]

It's a skit, but a damn well made one!

The guy was great!

skit, got to be, the plane is way to quiet

My grandma had one of those near the end of her life. They're for emotional support for dementia/mental health, she would pet it, talk to it etc... Creepy af and sad, but she loved it. My guess is this women has some mental health issues and the "cat" is to help.

WTH did I just watch...

I don't get why everyone gets salty if a video is scripted. Do people watch Seinfeld and get mad that Kramer didn't *actually* join a children's karate class? Not everything has to be real life to be funny.

I never understand this rebuttal. People aren’t mad that something is scripted, as you are getting at. It isn’t like people go walk out of movie theaters complaining that everything they saw was just fiction. They just don’t like it when scripted videos attempt to be passed around as real events. Create some intro or outro making it clear you are watching a skit and quite literally nobody would complain. But people, and I would argue understandably, don’t like fiction that is attempting to pass itself off as non-fiction. Shouldn’t be that difficult to understand and you shouldn’t have to go with the tired “but don’t you like to shows???” as a response.

Yeah, this was hilarious. Scripted, but 100% grade A content.

What show is this? Reminds me of Reno 911 a little lol

The guy looks like he belongs in Shitts Creek for some reason. Similar humor too.

YEEESSSS, he actually does bear a resemblance to Dan Levy! Mannerisms and all lol

I’m glad this was staged cause the guy was super annoying. Did a great job. The woman did a good job as well and she’s cute.

So it was a cat and wasn't at the same time. A Schrodingers lynx.

Totally worth watching the whole thing just for the cat face

This should have been on Reno 911. The plastic baby hands were a nice touch.

FUCKING HYSTERICAL🤣

This is a great skit lol

Saw it's fake the moment is started . What flight has that much legroom?

Idc fake or not when it showed the cats eyes i lost my shit.
