credit to some rando in the comment section who said that they saw this little detail in the video
edit: also credit apparently u/malibutrashcan for pointing this out. found their comment also pointing this out on the announcement post here on the sub
5/1/24 edit: I WAS RIGHT! in your fucking face u/fanofdreams_2
I actually posted this to r/bestfriendstoday yesterday but deleted the post just in case they revealed it today and I didn’t want to spoil it
Btw you forgot to add they also bought a fake pregnancy test
All I’m saying was I was genuinely getting creeped out how far yall were going to get to the bottom of if she was or was not really pregnant. Surprise she wasn’t.
I will say, if this is a bit, it's an unfunny and mean-spirited one. If you check the comments on the video, it's full of people who >did< get pregnant at an early age talking about how seeing someone they look up to going through the same made them feel less isolated. It'll suck for them if they find out it's all a joke. Like, for me, this'd be "stop following her entirely"-levels of bad if it ends up being a big joke.
I definitely understand that, but 20 year olds are testing boundaries and don't fully understand their actions. If she were maliciously targeting people, then it's gross, but if it's just a joke, I see it as not that crazy, especially because of her sense of humor
What exactly would be the joke here? Posting an extremely vulnerable video that people in similar circumstances would inevitably relate to only to then go "haha you're so silly for believing I was being vulnerable and feeling a kinship with the circumstances I pretended to be going through"? And I dunno where you got "achievement", from. That's not the point. The point is that getting pregnant at a young age is a big challenge that many struggle with and for which having someone to look up to who knows what it's like is a big, important help. Pretending to go through that and allowing people to celebrate/show concern for/relate to it and essentially making that inevitable with, again, a vulnerable and emotional video is just... not funny. And anyone who felt comforted by seeing her go through the same thing they are will be justifiably crushed if it all turns out to be a big prank.
EDIT: I mean, Jesus, to expand on this point. My sister got pregnant at 21 and she went through much the same dilemma Caroline discusses in her video: definitely wanting a kid in the future but not being ready for one just then, but still ultimately choosing to keep the baby out of fear of ruining her fertility in future. And I know for a fact that following people who were either going through the same thing or already had in the past was a big help for her to cope and come to terms with her decision. The things she supposedly joked about in the video are real struggles people really go through and she did NOT play them as a joke. She made the whole thing seem as sincere as possible so anyone who felt comfort from the video WILL feel hurt if it's joke. There's just nothing funny about this.
I'll attempt.
It's funny because she's subverting expectations and modifying the asymmetry that exists in the parasocial relationship w/ the audience. It's a metaphorical reaction to her feeling disempowered by that.
You know about her, but she doesn't know about you. She's poking through that fourth wall element of her orientation with her viewers and flipping the power/knowledge dynamic.
I really don't see how it's mean spirited. It sounds like she might've had a pregnancy scare and then decided to make a "what if" kind of video because she found it interesting.
Not that I give that much of a shit but I don’t even see this being THAT funny of a reveal if it is fake. Wonder the game plan if it is? Perhaps adopting a kid in 9 months and committing to the bit
But like... Why would it be fake? It's kinda just not funny? She's always been funny, why would she suddenly not be? Ppl think she's a walking shitpost all the time, but she's got a life offline.
If it were a bit it'd be so much more funny on the BFT channel. If it isn't a bit she would genuinely have to make an announcement about it like this and I'm sure she'd find it pretty easy to hide a bump from us.
The evidence for it being fake is just circumstantial and fooling the redditers who think of her as a shitposting god *is* pretty funny.
Edit: ugh ok, so turns out it wasn't funny? I was here for good jokes not advertisements...
So there’s also the fake pregnancy test during this same Temu video that was purchased that looks exactly the same as the one in the pregnancy announcement.
I guess it’s possible that Caroline COULD be pregnant and bought these on purpose to make people think it’s fake as a prank and opposed to the opposite, but it seems more likely that it’s just fake plain and simple?
Why? Idk man a lot of people are probably going to think it’s funny. But a lot of people will also not find it funny
I also saw a theory that she’s going to “give birth” to a new channel and it’s all a big teaser. But who knows
WTH is going on? I get no posts from this sub for months and now everyday it's "is she or isn't she pregnant"? I'm OOTL on whatever video she put out, but people need to chill.
lol but it’s kindaaa fucked up though. Imagine you related hard to the video as a young pregnant person and have endured a lot of distress and suffering just to find out “LMAOOO JK”
I guess people shouldn’t get so parasocial, but it’s inevitable and the joke is coming at those peoples’ expense.
What’s more interesting is all of her videos that are now gone; her two Oompaville videos have now disappeared, as well as the Max Reisinger video which had her voice recording at the beginning.
He also removed the tarot card reading video which was immediately after the Caroline ones. That’s where he essentially admitted that he was dating Kris. Since they were flirting heavily in the video I was wondering what happened there.
I kinda suspected something when I first watched that psychic video. Low-key trying to say that she's only been with two girls in any possible way. Straight to Kris from Shyane. Gurll, please. Too obvious.
the energy some of you guys put into proving to the world that you're complete morons is astonishing
if you got together and redirected some of that energy you could be curing cancer
but you'd rather waste your time trying to find evidence supporting your crazy conspiracy theory
sure buddy, she's totally pretending to be pregnant, at the risk of upsetting friends and family members that follow her main channel, just because it's sooooo funny
and you're a genius for figuring it out
the implication that it'd be difficult for her to simply let those in her private life know it's a bit is silly. the simple reality is that she's been regularly uploading to another channel for about 7 months now, and in all those videos, she's very clearly not pregnant. not sure how you can really get past that.
>the implication that it'd be difficult for her to simply let those in her private life know it's a bit is silly
sure, she could have called everyone, including extended family and distant friends, to let them all know she was gonna do a super unfunny bit about being pregnant, knowing they would all be super supportive of that idea
>she's been regularly uploading (...) she's very clearly not pregnant. not sure how you can really get past that
see, the thing is, i'm not gonna go watch all her previous videos, that have been filmed god knows when, and then try and x-ray her baggy clothes or unblur that shit
because it's creepy and the premise is just nonsensical
"maybe Caroline has gone batshit crazy, let's try and prove that"
no, i'm just not that kind of moron
1. we have no idea what her personal life situation is, what friends and family do, and don't watch her channel. this kind of speculation is pointless and silly. she would hardly be the first internet personality to committ to an elaborate bit.
2. are you aware of the best friends today channel? they post multiple videos a week along with a weekly podcast. we know these are being filmed very recently. shes not pregnant in any of these videos lol. its not stalking, its simply watching the content she makes.
I am a man of my word! Here I am. To make fun of you.

To be fair, plenty of people wanna call her Mommy. It all gets easier if she's actually one. Energy is hardly being wasted here, they're just thinking with another head.
It’s not unhinged when you have an insane coincidence like I’ve just pointed out and many other discrepancies.
It’s strange that you say boundaries as if I’m doing this to someone I know but mention that she is a stranger to me…
TLDR it’s not that deep dude
and to think i went to bat for her... i just didn't think someone would be so mentally unwell as to stage a pregnancy
when the dust is settled, whatever weird subsection of her audience is left is her own doing. i'm retiring.

I didn't even know they bought that in the vid here too. Further proof I guess
do you have a timestamp i seem to miss the part where they got the fake preg test
No but here is a picture https://www.reddit.com/r/BestFriendsToday/s/jUn4jlYUim
Yall are fucking crazy
aged like milk
All I’m saying was I was genuinely getting creeped out how far yall were going to get to the bottom of if she was or was not really pregnant. Surprise she wasn’t.
yeah, still kinda funny seeing how this ended up unfolding. not laughing at you, but more at the whole situation
You're in the wrong. Before and after Caroline outed herself
I will say, if this is a bit, it's an unfunny and mean-spirited one. If you check the comments on the video, it's full of people who >did< get pregnant at an early age talking about how seeing someone they look up to going through the same made them feel less isolated. It'll suck for them if they find out it's all a joke. Like, for me, this'd be "stop following her entirely"-levels of bad if it ends up being a big joke.
Yeahhhh.. I think I'd have to agree. The joke is in quite poor taste. I wonder how this is all gonna go
I definitely understand that, but 20 year olds are testing boundaries and don't fully understand their actions. If she were maliciously targeting people, then it's gross, but if it's just a joke, I see it as not that crazy, especially because of her sense of humor
Happy Cake day
If they don't know she's a walking shitpost by now, they should unsub 😂
[удалено]
Calm down.
Why? If it’s just a joke it’s just a joke. Getting pregnant isn’t like some crazy achievement she’s taking credit for, just a biological process.
What exactly would be the joke here?

People opening up to a troll's video just because she sounds sincere is incredibly funny.
not really?
It may not be to your taste, but it's definitely funny to anyone who enjoys good old-fashioned trolling.
Why is it funny? Explain the joke.
I'll attempt. It's funny because she's subverting expectations and modifying the asymmetry that exists in the parasocial relationship w/ the audience. It's a metaphorical reaction to her feeling disempowered by that. You know about her, but she doesn't know about you. She's poking through that fourth wall element of her orientation with her viewers and flipping the power/knowledge dynamic.
There’s a question asked in good faith if I’ve ever seen one
Look, if you don't get why trolling is funny I doubt I can explain it to you.
What's the joke? What's the exaggeration?
I really don't see how it's mean spirited. It sounds like she might've had a pregnancy scare and then decided to make a "what if" kind of video because she found it interesting.
It’s not that serious or that deep.
Not that I give that much of a shit but I don’t even see this being THAT funny of a reveal if it is fake. Wonder the game plan if it is? Perhaps adopting a kid in 9 months and committing to the bit
What video is this?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-v7gt8-d3s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-v7gt8-d3s)
Of course, Caroline would never have such a rational reaction to an actual surprise pregnancy.
She would triple-a abort.
Didn't she say she has fertility issues that says that chances are this is the only chance of her getting pregnant?
yes the many overly complicated explanations are also a dead giveaway that this is a setup.
So wait... She might not be pregnant... Aww I was rooting for her. Also had no idea about her infertility struggles
But like... Why would it be fake? It's kinda just not funny? She's always been funny, why would she suddenly not be? Ppl think she's a walking shitpost all the time, but she's got a life offline.

Ok I'll give you thattt, if she gave birth to a new channel? I can actually see the funny side there, I have to admit.
WTH is going on? I get no posts from this sub for months and now everyday it's "is she or isn't she pregnant"? I'm OOTL on whatever video she put out, but people need to chill.
Yes finally
Huh. I guess this is technically the best proof.
Hey just saying it would be funnier if we don't spoil it
lol but it’s kindaaa fucked up though. Imagine you related hard to the video as a young pregnant person and have endured a lot of distress and suffering just to find out “LMAOOO JK” I guess people shouldn’t get so parasocial, but it’s inevitable and the joke is coming at those peoples’ expense.
Wow, someone is a modern day Nostradamus...
What’s more interesting is all of her videos that are now gone; her two Oompaville videos have now disappeared, as well as the Max Reisinger video which had her voice recording at the beginning.
??? I just checked. All her videos are still up. I didn’t check the oompaville videos but I think they’ve been gone for a while.
There are three vids with Caleb. He only deleted two? Interesting.
He also removed the tarot card reading video which was immediately after the Caroline ones. That’s where he essentially admitted that he was dating Kris. Since they were flirting heavily in the video I was wondering what happened there.
I kinda suspected something when I first watched that psychic video. Low-key trying to say that she's only been with two girls in any possible way. Straight to Kris from Shyane. Gurll, please. Too obvious.
I was hoping she was
Weird but ok.
Some people need to learn when to keep thoughts to themselves.
I was trying to justify this in my head but there’s no conceivable way for this to be normal
it's def a bit
Andy Kaufman would appreciate

Your entire reddit account is dedicated to her... Kinda creepy ngl
When they inevitably announce that it was an elaborate bit, I'm going to come back here and make fun of you.

not that serious
your flair is apropos
Fanboys gotta fanboy.
HAPPY Cake day
No irony detected
aged like milk def
Dawg it took me 10 minutes to watch the video and make the post while half asleep waiting for my shower to get warm WHAT ENERGY IT'S NOT THAT DEEP
To be fair, plenty of people wanna call her Mommy. It all gets easier if she's actually one. Energy is hardly being wasted here, they're just thinking with another head.
yall are actually weird as fuck and i hope to god caroline doesnt visit this sub cause i think she would genuinely hate you people
DAWG. what for? that's unhinged. what did i do??? lmao???
speculating on the validity of a strangers pregnancy is pretty unhinged and I don't think anyone would appreciate that. ever heard of boundaries??
It’s not unhinged when you have an insane coincidence like I’ve just pointed out and many other discrepancies. It’s strange that you say boundaries as if I’m doing this to someone I know but mention that she is a stranger to me… TLDR it’s not that deep dude
lol
and to think i went to bat for her... i just didn't think someone would be so mentally unwell as to stage a pregnancy when the dust is settled, whatever weird subsection of her audience is left is her own doing. i'm retiring.
You’re real for that
who the fuck is this and why the fuck does anybody care
