Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

A provocative, satirical 'how-to' statement that immediately identifies a universally disliked persona or behavior to unite the audience in shared frustration.

Payoff

A concluding personal anecdote or definitive statement of action that cements the creator's absolute intolerance for the behavior, providing catharsis for the viewer.

  4. 4

    The Ruthless Rebuttal

Transcript

How to be the worst dinner? Yes. Stand up to go outside and smoke between courses. So you interrupt everyone's meal. You leave a corner of the table empty, and then you bring back the awful smells of your smoking to arm. Better what about my vape and my eye costs? Oh, a la coube, save it for your own time far away from the other people you're meant to enjoy dinner with.
