Hook and payoff

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

Hook

An immediate visual and textual cue of 'surprise' combined with iconic, mysterious imagery (a familiar character with a question mark) to instantly create intrigue.

Payoff

The explicit statement of the product's central gimmick or question, which solidifies the mystery and leaves the viewer with an unresolved (and therefore memorable) curiosity gap.
