If a stranger walks up to you and flat out asks, ‘Tell me your password’, you’d tell them to go piss up a rope. If a stranger asks how you came up with your password, and you tell them it’s your pet’s name plus your birthday and then GIVE them your pet’s name and your birthday, you qualify as a stupid person.

Your pets name and birthday are not questions that on their own should raise suspicion; they are not the same as asking what your credit card number is. That's the problem; most people have passwords whose information that can be easily inquired.
As the viewer you already know what to expect and are actively looking for these moments in the video. But these sort of lapses in judgement and attention are not unique to "stupid people" it's simply how the mind processes or fails to process information. Anyone who has taken an introduction to psychology course has been exposed to several of these types of videos.
