Using delivery app to impress dogfrom @itslittlemich

[01]

Overview

A creator attempts to impress her unimpressed bulldog with her basketball skills before a game. When that fails, she realizes snacks are the answer and uses the Instacart app to order game-day treats, which delights the dog. They perform a humorous good-luck ritual while waiting for the delivery, and then settle on the couch to enjoy their snacks and watch the game together.

Framework

The Unimpressed Subject Solution Arc

A protagonist fails to impress a stoic subject with a traditional method, then pivots to a product-based solution that instantly wins the subject's approval, leading to a shared, successful outcome.

    The Desperate Plea

    The protagonist verbally expresses frustration over their inability to please the subject, solidifying the emotional stakes.

  2. 2

    The Solution Pivot

    The protagonist has a sudden realization and proposes a new, product-centric solution to the problem, shifting the narrative's direction.

  3. 3

    The Subject's Buy-In

    The previously apathetic subject displays immediate, non-verbal enthusiasm for the proposed solution, validating the pivot.

  4. 4

    The Implementation Montage

    A quick sequence shows the protagonist activating the solution and engaging in a humorous 'waiting' ritual to build anticipation and add character.

  5. 5

    The Anticipated Arrival

    Signal the arrival of the solution with a distinct audio cue, prompting an excited physical reaction from the subject.

  6. 6

    The Reward Reveal

    A rapid-fire sequence showcasing the tangible benefits or items delivered by the solution, creating visual excitement.

Transcript

Our ladies are playing tonight. Nothing I ever do pleases you. What if I ordered you some snacks from Instacart for the game? Instacart is the official grocery delivery app of the Toronto temple, so it's good luck that we get our groceries delivered to watch the game from home. Okay. We have a little bit of time before the goodies get here. Tier for our good luck with you all. Chips, check. Dip, check. How best treats? Already gone.
