This is the complete job posting:

I will perform stand-up comedy from 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM on Saturday, 2/24/2024.  I need to hire 3 to 5 people to plant in the crowd to laugh after every joke.

Anthony,

Fairly standard procedure for various types of businesses. Probably very serious. Speakers frequently have friendly plants.

The thing is, what if the jokes were really funny? Would you feel like a hypocrite when you got paid?

[williamtcooper]

I don't think these types of people care one way or the other as long as things go as planned which is a happy audience.

[allpurposewriter]

William, you're the perfect straight man. You don't know when you're being kidded. 

Anyone who laughs at that will be paid on Friday.

I'd say to accept the "job" is morally wrong. If you realize you are being tested by the person who is hiring you, you may refuse to get paid, having understood and using your chance well.

Money can easily corrupt our souls, if we lose perspective. :leaf_fluttering_in_wind::fallen_leaf:
