Narrative framework
The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Absurdist Prophet
Presenting a curated list of predictions that escalate from plausible/relatable to completely absurd, delivered with a deadpan, authoritative tone for comedic effect.
- 1
The Authority Claim
The creator validates their expertise by mentioning positive feedback on previous, similar content, setting the expectation of quality and justifying the new list.
- 2
The Grounded Entry
The first item on the list is introduced. It's a safe, universally relatable, or mundane concept that establishes a baseline of normalcy.
- 3
The Quirky Escalation
Subsequent items are introduced that become progressively more specific, strange, or nonsensical, building comedic tension against the deadpan delivery.
- 4
The Absurdist Climax
The list peaks with a completely unexpected, topical, or bizarre item that serves as the main punchline. This is supported by a visual gag to land the joke.
- 5
The Thematic Resolution
The final item on the list returns to the general theme of the first item, providing a sense of narrative closure and ending on a calm, familiar note.

So a lot of you liked my picks the last two years, so these are the ins for 2026. First up, we got chilling. You know, it's always a good time to chill, but I think 2026 is gonna be a big year for just kicking back and marinating. Next up is deleting files. I think you'll be in this year to just go in your phone, your computer, and just highlight a bunch of stuff and just hit delete. It doesn't even matter what it is. You're not gonna miss it. You don't know what your files are. You don't need files in 2026. We're tier moving beyond that. Another in for 2026 is garlic bread. Hell, yeah. Next up, we have building your own submarine. Now this refers to both sandwiches and submersibles. No it's not been great for homemade submersibles, but I think we've worked out the kinks. Go ahead and give it a shot this year. Make a sandwich and go underwater. And finally, we have reclining. It's gonna be a big year for just leaning back. I know Fat Joe made that big many years ago, but it's back. Leaning back is back in 2026. Best your feet up on the couch, a chair, rank automate if you're fancy. It's all about getting more horizontal.
