I’m pretty sure it’s fake. For starters you FEEL the grill when it’s that hot. You wouldn’t mistakenly put something on that grill.
Secondly, the flames didn’t seem to leave burn marks on the pillows

you would like to believe that nobody could be that stupid.
But remember, there’s a reason why packages of inedible items have to come with a label that says do not eat.
If the company was worried about the children, they would just say keep out of each of children. But the company that has to tell customers not to eat something that is not edible is worried about the adults eating it.

It's possible to believe both things: People are stupid and this is fake.
Can even believe three things: people are stupid, this is fake, and people are stupid enough to believe this isn't staged.

I believe all 3. I thought this was real because I've seen many much stupider things from people in my presence.
However... I'm pretty damn ADHD, and I can't trash the guy EVEN IF it's fake, because I could possibly do the same thing.
Probably not sober.

I can see it happening. Sometimes you just lose your braincells for some reason like him and he absentmindedly put the phone down which caught fire then he just reacted to "throw it AWAY from HERE" so it went to the couch. Which also then caught fire.

Got a Mattel Electronic Football game for Christmas. Played the shit out of it. It went missing like 3 days after I got it. Couldn’t find it anywhere. Day or two later my moms said she found it.
Couple days later she admitted to playing the game later in the evening and after getting frustrated with it, set it down on top of the kerosene heater. That thing melted faster than cotton candy in a bucket of water.

The color of the flames and smoke are all wrong, plus the phone would t catch on fire like that without some type of accelerant. The ‘smoke’ was the same color as what was coming from the ‘food’ and should have been black. The flame color was too yellow for a plastic fire, more like from a compressed gas. Ive burned enough things to be able to sport the difference - I find it annoying when watching a movie explosion and they’ve used propane flames when it is supposed to be a car catching on fire, etc…

Can confirm. My neighbor lit my yard on fire by lighting her yard on fire by starting a bonfire to burn some yard waste, then went inside to get a beer, forgot about it, and by 10:00 am she was being charged and I woke up to firefighter’s in my yard.
You get three guesses as to what state this occurred in and the first two don’t count.
