Filmmaker Talia Pilieva’s latest viral video claims to show people undressing in front of one another and then getting into a bed together, laughing at the awkwardness of it all.

Her video of 20 “strangers” kissing for the first time went viral, boasting more than 86 million views on YouTube to date. However, some Internet users were bummed that it was an ad for clothing brand WREN featuring professional actors — so not as spontaneous as people initially thought. Refresh your memory below:
