No? Not if you actually want the job.

Think about it this way, if you're interviewing someone for a job, it's obvious they are there for the money.

If the most creative thing they can think of to answer that question is "Money" then their critical thinking skills are pretty much zero, and further they are a liability because who knows what either dumb stuff they will say, possibly to the wrong person.

    Yes. If the candidate thinks acting out a post they saw on Reddit adds something to the interview, they're probably gonna make poor choices as an employee.
