They all were trying to do the corny shit, so that's the acting part, but it seems Patrice was being real. And they added the goofy reality tv music and did the editing - but I think Patrice was just being Patrice here.
It's a fake fucking set dude, that's not real sunlight coming through the windows. Look how close the cameras are to everyone's faces. There are boom-mics just off-camera.
If you watched this clip in the context of the show you would have a different impression. It's a four-episode show that was supposed to be a parody of another documentary-reality show that was also short lived. He's playing a fictionalized version of himself and it's clearly scripted.
wow he's also a great comedic actor, he would have done great with more air time on shows he had minimal roles on (arrested development, chappelles show), and i think patrice would have been the perfect for JB smooth's spot on Curb, him and larry david would have been amazing
I know. He talked about his point of view a little. He hated working for hours for them to use a 10 second clip. but, when the office started, Craig Robinson's scenes were few and far between. Now he's a main character. It all depends on what's important to you I guess
Found this a while ago. It helped me understand why Patrice always had problems. It seemed to me that they had to find clips that would fit the show, I think he was being righteous with that woman and man. Not fake. But Patrice had to be himself, or else we wouldn't have loved him.

This is a mockumentary show. They're acting.

And yet you don't see that Patrice just isn't playing along with their stupid fake bullshit?!
He's not playing along with their fakeness!
That's why it's such a good clip

You really can't tell that's fake? It's making fun of how difficult Patrice can be, but obviously it's a joke.
