A woman secretly filmed her fiancé pretending to insult her so that she could get her futuremother-in-law’s reactionon camera.

Keely Grace Gaffney, a content creator based in Arizona, posted thevideo on TikTokon Dec. 25. The clip — which has since garnered over 44 million views — features Keely at a dinner table with her fiancé and his parents.

Keely, 22, can be heard asking her fiancé Nash Morgan, 26, to pass the butter, at which point he sighs in exasperation, before saying, “The thing’s already soaked in butter. Do you really think you need more butter? This is, like, a lot of calories.”

The hidden camera then pans to Nash’s mom, Gail Morgan, who appears horrified.

“Hey, cut — wait,” Gail firmly tells her son, before asking, “Who raised you?”

She continues, “I did not raise you to be talkin’ to her like that. She asked you for something — you need to get it for her. She doesn’t need you counting her calories [or] her intake of her butter. She wants butter, she can have butter.”

“Amazing mother,” another wrote.

Keely tells PEOPLE exclusively that even though she and Nash met two years ago — and became engaged after “a year and one month” — this was only her second time meeting his parents in person, as they live out of state.

However, she says she and Gail are “very close,” explaining, “We text and call all the time.”

Keely says that Gail was “very relieved” when she found out that the whole thing was justa prank.

“We’re all very sarcastic,” Keely explains. “Like, the whole family is filled with jokes, so it was easy to brush off after that.”
