Faux-historical footage claiming "the moon landing happened in 1883" — back when there was apparently still wind on the moon. Alternate-history footage aged to perfection, played with total sincerity.

Realistic footage of the moon landing, but it took place in 1883 AD. There is apparently wind on the moon back then, you are just going to have suspend disbelief

✍️ Editor’s Notes

This one wins purely on the incongruity gag — pairing “realistic footage” with “1883 AD” is already absurd on its own. The line “you are just going to have suspend disbelief” right after that is really an aside to the reader, not an instruction to the model — it's the writer sneaking in some humor, and it doesn't hurt the output at all. The one actual visual instruction buried in there is “apparently wind on the moon,” which is what decides whether the flag and dust actually move.

Want tighter control? Try this expanded version:
Grainy black-and-white film footage, shot in the style of 1883, captures two figures in bulky antique diving-suit-like garments stepping onto the lunar surface from a wooden and brass capsule. Despite the vacuum of space, a strange wind kicks up fine lunar dust, rippling a small flag planted in the ground and tugging at loose fabric on their suits. The camera, shaky and hand-cranked in feel, pans slowly across the barren gray landscape as one figure raises an arm triumphantly. Faint scratches and flickering light typical of century-old film stock overlay the scene, lending it an eerie, anachronistic authenticity despite the physically impossible lunar breeze.
