I know it's supposed to be funny, but the look on his face just seemed genuinely upset, and now the whole internet is laughing at his reaction.

I just watched one where a guy "randomly" pays for a struggling family's groceries, but the camera angles were way too perfect and the reactions felt completely staged.
