Ever suspected if a viral airplane video you're watching is just too dramatic to be real?
Well, your suspicions may be right on the money, according to comedian Chris Grace .
Grace posted a video on TikTok on September 14, where he tried to debunk some of the airplane videos that have gone viral on social media.
"Oh my gosh, it's another fun video where people are fighting on an airplane," Grace narrated over footage taken from what he said was one such viral video.
"Oh wait! Look, it's those blue lights," Grace said while pointing to a strip of neon blue lights that were lining the cabin's walls in the footage. "Another one! It's those blue lights."

Grace also claimed in his post that the viral videos were likely staged and filmed on airplane sets.
"The thing is. There are these studios you can rent that are fake airplane sets that have these blue lights, and that's where all these dumb fake viral videos have been shot," Grace said.
"If you see these blue lights, the video ain't right," Grace added.
When Insider did a search for airplane sets available for rent, various listings popped up on venue providers like Peerspace and Giggster .
The sets available for rent on those two sites look a lot like real plane aisles and seats, though they did not appear, at first glance, to contain the blue lights Grace mentioned. Rental costs for such sets range from $100 to $950 per hour.
This summer, several instances of airplane drama went viral — though these were cases involving real people on actual flights.
In July, Tiffany Gomas , a Texas-based marketing executive, became infamous for her outburst on an American Airlines flight .
Also in July, small business owner Tammy Nelson went viral on TikTok after sharing her experience on a Delta Air Lines flight. Nelson said she refused to give up her plane seat to a mother who wanted to sit with her children.
In August, Spirit Airlines passenger Lindsey Mascera slammed the budget carrier on TikTok, and accused the airline of delaying her flight for seven hours. Mascera's video showed dozens of passengers looking restless and miserable.
Representatives for Grace did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.

The door to your airplane closes, and it’s time to leave the gate, but before the aircraft can pull away, a white mist appears out of thin air, swirling around the overhead bins. No, it’s not a disco-themed cabin crew introduction (cue the lasers!) or a new method to attract your attention to the safety video.

In the distance, the verdant North Downs stretch out for miles, the chalk hills gently undulating until their ridges merge with the horizon. Closer, still, are fields of white lacey Cowslip and wild yellow Woodsorrel which dot the landscape with pops of colour. It’s hard to believe that we’re a short drive away from central London.
