Hook template

Steal this for your own video

I [did a normal, everyday action] the other day, and [relatable frustrating outcome] — [the absurdly out-of-touch detail that reveals the character's privilege].

  • — I made a large transaction on the AmEx the other day, and it declined — so I had to call my dad to switch me to the card with the million-dollar limit.
  • — I booked a last-minute flight the other day, and the airline put me on standby — so I had to ask my assistant to just buy out the whole first-class cabin.
  • — I ordered a coffee at my local cafe the other day, and they said they were out of oat milk — so I had to have my driver go pick up an entire dairy farm.

Hook and payoff

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

Hook

Present a common, relatable problem but frame it with language that hints at an unusual, high-status context, creating immediate intrigue.

Payoff

The characters agree on a comically impractical or privileged solution, solidifying their shared delusion and providing a satisfying comedic conclusion that reinforces the premise.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Absurd Problem Escalation

A comedic narrative where a seemingly relatable problem is revealed to have an absurd, high-status cause. The conflict then shifts to a more universal secondary problem, which is also escalated to a ridiculous degree, culminating in an out-of-touch resolution.

  1. 1

    The Relatable Crisis

    The protagonist states a common, everyday problem (e.g., a service failing, an item not working) to establish an initial connection with the audience.

  2. 2

    The Status Subversion

    The reason for the problem is revealed to be not a normal failure, but a consequence of extreme status or wealth, subverting audience expectations for a comedic twist.

  3. 3

    The Call for Authority

    The protagonist seeks help from a higher authority figure (a boss, a parent, a mentor), revealing a dynamic of dependence that sets up the next conflict.

  4. 4

    The Out-of-Touch Solution & New Conflict

    The authority figure provides an even more absurd solution that highlights their extreme status, but simultaneously introduces a new, more universally relatable conflict (e.g., micromanagement, questioning judgment).

  5. 5

    The Validation & Escalation

    A second character validates the protagonist's new conflict by sharing their own similar, but even more extreme, experience, escalating the absurdity of the situation and confirming 'this is a problem for people like us'.

  6. 6

    The Comedic Consequence

    The second character reveals the bizarre, almost childish consequences they face from their authority figure, reinforcing the central theme of being infantilized despite their high status.

  7. 7

    The Unified Front & Absurd Resolution

    The characters bond over their shared 'struggle' and propose a final solution that is completely out of touch with reality, serving as the ultimate punchline.
