@tsa One World. One Ranch. Who knew dip-lomacy could be achieved through addressing the obvious: ranch is the king of condiments. The world is slowly discovering ranch pairs perfectly with pizza, chicken wings, fries, onion rings, quesadillas, crackers, chips, vegetables, and the list just keeps growing. Are you kicking around the idea of flying home with your favorite dip? If you’re traveling within the U.S., make sure to keep your carry-on sauces to 3.4oz or less and place any larger containers in your checked bags. Some heroes wear capes. Others bring ranch.

Hook template

Steal this for your own video

If you're visiting [location or event] and you happen to discover [locally beloved thing] while you're there… please [unexpected but practical instruction].

  • — If you're visiting New Orleans for the first time and you happen to discover hot sauce while you're there… please pack it in your checked bag on the way home.
  • — If you're visiting Japan and you happen to discover matcha Kit Kats while you're there… please know customs has a limit on how many you can bring back.
  • — If you're visiting Austin for a music festival and you happen to discover breakfast tacos while you're there… please understand nothing back home will ever taste the same again.

Hook and payoff

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

Hook

The entire single slide acts as the hook. It uses a humorous and oddly specific scenario to grab attention and create an 'in-the-know' feeling, making the audience lean in to understand the context.

Payoff

The payoff is the immediate humor derived from the absurdly specific situation, combined with the clear, actionable instruction. The value is delivered instantly without requiring a swipe.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Relatable PSA

Delivering a practical directive by framing it within a humorous, hyper-specific scenario that implies a common problem. This makes a dry rule feel like a shareable inside joke, delivered in a familiar, low-fi format (like a tweet screenshot).

  1. 1

    The Singular Punchline

    A single slide that presents a complete narrative arc in miniature: it establishes a relatable problem via a specific scenario, provides the solution as a polite command, and concludes, all within one block of text.
