Hook template
Steal this for your own video
A sent me a with — so I
- — A skincare brand sent me a package with no return label and zero instructions — so I called every number on their website until someone answered
- — A furniture company sent me a dresser with no hardware and no manual — so I watched 47 YouTube videos until I figured it out
- — A subscription box sent me a mystery bag that was heat-sealed shut with no opening — so I tried every kitchen tool we owned until something worked

Payoff
The Comedic Reframe: A final text overlay or statement is delivered that ironically justifies the entire ordeal, treating the absurd outcome as a profound and worthwhile prize.
