Hook template

Steal this for your own video

I don't care who [authority or culprit type]. Someone needs to be [extreme consequence] for [outrageous thing people are doing].

  • — I don't care who it is. Someone needs to be fired for putting raw chicken on a $200 tasting menu.
  • — I don't care who's behind it. Someone needs to be banned from the gym for re-racking weights like that.
  • — I don't care which company it is. Someone needs to be sued for charging $40 a month to unlock heated seats.

Hook and payoff

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

Hook

An exaggerated or hyperbolic statement of judgment ('Someone needs to be arrested for this') that generates immediate curiosity about the subject.

Payoff

A concise and memorable final judgment that validates the initial hook and gives the audience a clear opinion to agree or disagree with.

[08]

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Outrage to Verdict Framework

To present a controversial topic by starting with an extreme emotional reaction, justifying it through escalating arguments and personal authority, and concluding with a definitive, memorable judgment.

  1. 1

    The Factual Indictment

    Clearly and concisely explains the specific action, product, or situation that is the subject of the outrage.

  2. 2

    The Common-Ground Analogy

    Compares the subject to a more widely understood, less severe version of the same behavior to create a scale of severity for the audience.

  3. 3

    The Severity Escalation

    Explicitly states that the subject is on a different, more extreme level than the common analogy, thereby justifying the initial outrage.

  4. 4

    The Authenticity Proof

    Introduces a personal connection, experience, or piece of insider knowledge that establishes the creator's authority and credibility on the topic.

  5. 5

    The Relatability Bridge

    Briefly acknowledges the potential motivation or desire behind the controversial action to show empathy and connect with the audience's perspective before delivering the final verdict.

Transcript

I don't care who it is. Someone needs to be arrested for this. We literally have a car company taking six fifties and six seventy fives and putting a body kit on it to turn it into a p one g t r. We always joke about the v six and v eight chargers up badging, but this is another level to up badging. Like, this is this is absurd. Now funny enough, one of my buddies actually owns this p one GTR, the real one. Shout out to Redline Charity. Amazing charity, by the way. But back to the point. This is just absolutely not okay. And I get it. You want the aesthetics of owning a p one GTR, don't we all? But but converting your car is insane.
