Brooke Monk plays both sides of an unforgiving FaceTime call

A distorted filter and a suspiciously composed friend turn a familiar video-call complaint into a fast-starting sketch.

Has this ever happened to you?

Why does your friend look perfectly put-together on FaceTime while your own camera seems determined to betray you? Brooke Monk gives herself both roles in "Has this ever happened to you?", with a distorting face filter doing the unflattering work.

She lip-syncs dramatically as the person having a bad camera day, then cuts to the friend: glasses on, smiling calmly, not a distortion in sight. The smile stays as she holds up a phone displaying the other character's filtered face. There is no spoken dialogue, just music and a change of expression that makes the friendly composure look rather less innocent.

Viewers are talking about that switch from polite friend to mischief-maker, and about friends capturing FaceTime photos at precisely the wrong moment. Others say the sketch explains why they only trust certain people on video calls.

The Short drew roughly 730,000 views in its first day, nearly ten times Brooke Monk's usual Shorts start. Separate uploads titled "Wait for it…" and "This trend 😭" are also opening well above her usual pace, but it is the FaceTime sketch that has drawn the strongest early viewing of the three.
