Why is that odd? He was clearly right outside the room watching. The kid was clearly performing. I mean teenagers have staged freakouts. That doesn’t make them not staged freakouts or mean that he intended for his staged freakout to go on Youtube. As in, he is performing for his Mother, not for the whole world.
The thing to me that says it’s staged is that Squirrel Boy’s face is never clearly revealed. That way no one will ever be like, “Hey you’re that kid from that youtube video!”
