Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Monumental Fix

Exaggerating a common, relatable problem to a monumental or absurd scale to demonstrate a product's effectiveness in a memorable and humorous way.

  1. 1

    The Absurd Problem Reveal

    The context is revealed, showing a common, relatable problem (e.g., a blemish) manifested on an impossibly large, famous, or unexpected object/location, establishing the humorous premise.

  2. 2

    The Theatrical Application

    The solution (the product) is delivered and applied in an exaggerated, dramatic fashion that matches the scale of the problem, visually connecting the product to the solution.

  3. 3

    The Satisfying Resolution

    The product is removed, accompanied by a satisfying sensory cue (visual or auditory), instantly and clearly showing the problem has been resolved.
