Skit satirizing high fashion modelsfrom @derschutze

[01]

Overview

The video presents a comedic skit portraying a fictional Balenciaga model casting. Two casting directors reject a conventional-looking model, then become ecstatic when an aggressive, bald man wearing a trash bag arrives. After a series of humorous interactions and a bizarre runway walk, they hire him, and the video concludes with a mock-dramatic epilogue revealing that the first model was also hired after becoming 'severely disfigured'.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Absurdist Solution

A satirical narrative where conventional options fail to meet a niche, extreme standard, leading to the enthusiastic acceptance of an absurd candidate who perfectly embodies the parody's core critique.

  1. 1

    The Conventional Rejection

    A perfectly standard or acceptable example is presented and immediately dismissed, establishing the gatekeepers' unconventional and hard-to-meet criteria.

  2. 2

    The Desperation Statement

    The gatekeepers express frustration at the lack of suitable candidates, raising the stakes and emphasizing the unique quality they are searching for.

  3. 3

    The Unlikely Contender

    An absurdly unconventional candidate is introduced, creating a stark contrast with the initial rejection and serving as the narrative's central comedic element.

  4. 4

    The Divided Verdict

    The gatekeepers show conflicting initial reactions—one of disgust, the other of intrigue—creating internal tension and debate over the candidate's merit.

  5. 5

    The 'It Factor' Epiphany

    An action by the contender, initially perceived as a major flaw or violation, is re-framed by the intrigued gatekeeper as the exact, unique quality they were seeking all along.

  6. 6

    The Performance Showcase

    The candidate is asked to perform a final test, which they execute in a way that perfectly embodies the absurd criteria, solidifying their suitability.

  7. 7

    The Reinforcing Twist

    A final scene reveals that the initially rejected conventional candidate was also eventually accepted, but only after undergoing a transformation that made them fit the absurd standard, driving home the satirical point.

Transcript

Model phase. Next. Absolutely zero that'll have all we're looking for. I think there's one person left. And that's him. Yeah. How did you guys need a model? Well, is there some sort of joke? Perfect. Let's hire him. Why do you think we'd hire you? Well, what if you wanna hire him? I can't believe it just touched me. That's it. He has the it factor. This one and show us your walk, please. You're hired. After experiencing a traumatic punch in the face and becoming severely disfigured, model one was also hired that week.
