Yeah, it's true. Considering it's supposed to be filmed before a live audience and completely unplanned, it looks very planned and impossible(or at least boring) to be filmed before a live audience. I mean, the middle Shat with the smokes must've been sitting there for five minutes not saying anything. Also seems incredibly technical to get the timing right.
Still, I like it. His slow reciting of the lines at the beginning adds extra depth, IMO.
