iirc it did really happen but nobody was recording at the time, so they re-enacted it, giving us the famous video.

Oof, looks like it wasn't even re-enactment.

In December 2017, Schulz, along with Ben "Anfrony" Vinson, who recorded the video, released what he described as a first take or dry run of the video. Vinson stated, "We didn't think anyone would believe it was real, we thought it was so obviously satire."

Man, fuck me I guess lol

Oh okay, at least it actually happened in some capacity. Re-enactment for the vid isn't that bad. I'll research to confirm, thanks!
