>>65500291>How do you interact sincerely with someone else who is clearly just playing up a character the entire time>What is comedyYou literally just engage with them and take them at face value. The foundation of comedy is built on this very concept. Sometimes the most sincerest and funniest conversations need to come from someone intentionally playing up a character and picking what they're saying apart to reveal things they otherwise would never say if they where being "themselves". On a deeper level, most people put on a "character" when out in public and interacting with strangers.
Obviously this doesn't always work. A random anon purposely being retarded and shitposting is not worth humoring. The other person can put on a character but they also need to be willing to engage and be open instead of making the mistake of doubling down and saying no to probing questions.
