Would a boss get in trouble for “fake firing” someone?

If a boss brought an employee into his office, sat them down, and fired them but then a few minutes said he was just kidding and blah blah blah, could he get in trouble with HR?

Like in The Office. Similar scenario.

I would quit on the spot or start looking for another job immediately. Beyond disrespect

My buddy did that, and the guy got up and left and would not be halted he got legal and it was declared that he truly did get fired so he went on unemployment right away and opened up a wrongful termination suit and won

(I made up the winning part, I don't know how it turned out but that wouldn't make for a good story.)

But yeah OP, I think a boss could get in trouble for that. It's not really a fair way to behave towards an employee.

Totally fine. Just like when you lose your sh*t at work and cause a scene saying you're quitting then come back the next day acting like nothing happened, and telling your boss you were just joking.

Why the fuk would anyone do that?
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Still mad I proved you a libel-producing goon? Called me a liar, gave instructions to see the truth. Take your incessant ramblings and crawl back in your liberal paradise.
