Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Absurd Roleplay

Applying a mundane human social script to a non-human subject (animal, object, baby) to create humor by re-contextualizing the subject's natural behavior as intentional participation.

  1. 1

    The Scenario Proposal

    The creator verbally establishes a common human-to-human interaction or request, directed at the non-human subject.

  2. 2

    The Re-contextualized Action

    The creator prompts a physical interaction, and the subject's natural, instinctual, or random response is treated as a deliberate and correct fulfillment of the proposed scenario.

  3. 3

    The Formal Validation

    The creator verbally confirms that the subject's action was correct according to the rules of the roleplay, solidifying the punchline.
