    Making fun of someone with an obviously fake conversation is a universal staple, from classroom to a boardroom.

    +10 points if you do the voice, - 100 if the voice is a racial stereotype

    Racial stereotype. What do you mean? Imitating an Indian scam call from a scam factory in India having a conversation with you is viable with an Indian accent if it adds to the story.

    Every time I tell a story of a french person being upset about something minor I always add a french accent to help develop the story.

    Telling any story of a cultural exchange with a monotone AI voice isn't really normal.

    They means that it is not and they are right.

    No, anyone whose brain isn't addled by narrative-over-facts finds making up fake conversations to support a narrative extremely pathetic and cringeworthy. It stands to reason that if someone merits being criticized for acting a certain way, then you're able to use actual examples of them acting that way to make your point.

    You likely only say what you did because you and the majority of your social circle are part of the above-described addled category.

    Idk, does it still count as a strawman if you're doing it to make fun of him rather than make an argument against something he said? I don't think it does.

    I just think relying on a strawman is not a very good way to make fun of something.

    He says so much dumb shit that you don't really have to exaggerate in order to make him sound stupid.
