"This clip is faker than that Rolex": Internet reacts as Lacy confidently destroys Silky's watch, thinking it wasn't real

It's not often that a watch is destroyed on a live stream, but that's precisely what happened when streamer Lacy boldly broke Silky's watch, believing it to be a fake.

One remark on a video of the event that went viral said,

"This clip is faker than that Rolex."

It pretty much captured the chaos online. In the video, Lacy grabs Silky's watch, makes a remark about how fake it looks, and then slams it to pieces without hesitation. Lacy was shocked, laughed, and disbelieving when he realized that the watch was real. Others couldn't help but question whether the entire prank was planned for clicks and views, while others thought the whole shebang was amusing.

Lacy’s smashing move on Silky’s watch sends the internet into a frenzy—but was it all part of the plan?

As expected, the internet had a field day with the incident, quickly filling Twitter with jokes, memes, and speculation. One tweet read,

"He just wanted to see time fly," poking fun at Lacy’s actions and Silky’s (probably) bewildered reaction.

Another user chimed in with,

"Clip farming...," suggesting that the entire scene was orchestrated to generate viral content - like many other clickbait-y content these days.

Some fans couldn’t imagine being in Silky’s shoes. One person tweeted,

"I’d literally cry," emphasizing how devastating it would be to see an expensive watch destroyed like that, makes sense!

Others, however, seemed more skeptical, with one tweet saying,

"These skits man," implying that this type of content might be more about entertaining viewers rather than being a genuine accident.

To add to the humor, one fan asked,

"Hey Chat was it fake?" while another pointed out the obvious,

"If it was me, you better buy me a new one."

Finally, the incident drew comparisons to internet baiting, as a user bluntly stated,

"W bait," referring to the possibility that the streamers set this up to drive engagement.

Silky and Lacy’s streaming careers and the “Truth” behind the incident

Trending

Their amusing (and sometimes chaotic) on-screen antics have contributed to the two's steady rise in popularity in the streaming community. Variety streamer Lacy, who is well-known for his lively material, regularly works with other streamers, including Silky, who has established a big reputation in the gaming and entertainment industry. The two have developed a dynamic that often leads to over-the-top moments like this one—leaving fans (and passive viewers) constantly wondering what’s real and what’s just for show.

Many fans are wondering whether Silky's watch destruction was a prearranged prank, even though it (appeared?) to be spontaneous. Given how often streamers build up elaborate scenes to capture viral moments, it wouldn't be shocking if this whole affair was merely another instance of "content farming." After all, authenticity may sometimes seem like a scarce resource in a setting where views and interaction are what determine success. However, others believe the alleged victim's (in this case) reaction was far too genuine to be scripted, adding another layer of 'things to introspect' to this incident. Whatever the truth may be, the incident has kept the internet active and speculating and has highlighted just how unpredictable the streaming world can be.
