Hook template

Steal this for your own video

You know, [city or place] is full of [exaggerated group or trait].

  • — You know, Los Angeles is full of people who 'used to be in the industry.'

Hook and payoff

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

Hook

A character is presented in a state of mundane normalcy, defined by a text overlay like 'Me, minding my business,' creating an immediate and relatable baseline for the viewer.

Payoff

The payoff is the comedic validation the audience feels when the protagonist's confused reaction perfectly aligns with their own, creating a shared moment of absurdity.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Unprovoked Intrusion

This framework creates humor by juxtaposing a relatable, passive protagonist with an external character who delivers a sudden, unprompted, and absurd statement, culminating in the protagonist's baffled reaction which mirrors the audience's own confusion.

  1. 1

    The Baseline of Normalcy

    This initial beat establishes the protagonist as a passive observer in a neutral environment, setting up a state of calm that is about to be disrupted.

  2. 2

    The Out-of-Context Broadside

    An abrupt cut introduces a new persona, identified by a text label, who delivers a completely random, often inflammatory or nonsensical statement. This serves as the inciting incident and the source of conflict/confusion.

  3. 3

    The Everyman's Retort

    The narrative cuts back to the original protagonist, who voices the audience's internal reaction of disbelief and confusion. This verbalizes the punchline and provides a satisfying comedic release.
