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

The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Ironic Juxtaposition
Creating humor by pairing a highly relatable, text-based scenario with a completely disproportionate and out-of-context audio/visual reaction.
The Shared Experience Premise
The on-screen text establishes a common, often unspoken, social scenario or internal thought, setting the stage for the punchline by creating a shared context with the audience.
The Disproportionate Reaction
An out-of-context audio clip, paired with an ironically fitting visual, is used to deliver an exaggerated and humorous response that subverts the viewer's expectation for a normal reaction.
