Framework
The Literal Punchline
A narrative structure that builds curiosity with a statement using a double-entendre (a word with both a literal and a figurative/slang meaning), then delivers a humorous payoff by visually revealing the literal, unexpected interpretation.

The Pun Reveal
The narrative immediately transitions from the setup to a visual reveal that resolves the ambiguity of the hook. This beat's function is to subvert the viewer's expectation by confirming the literal, less-anticipated meaning of the initial statement, serving as the punchline.
