Skits and POVs
Format
Your hits are short, tease-first POVs about corporate absurdity, with a single caption setup and a visual payoff that needs no explanation, while your misses are longer vlogs with timestamps and no punchline.
What makes it yours: A deadpan corporate character who narrates his own suffering in exaggerated 'POV' and 'will never understand' setups, always signing off with a wink of irony rather than stating the joke outright.
Where to start this week
Your three S tier ideas. Film these first.
- 01S tier
POV: you set 9 alarms for an 8:15 kickoff and slept through all of them
On screen: “POV: you set 9 alarms for an 8:15 kickoff and slept through all 9”
Open on a dark hotel room, phone buzzing on the nightstand. Cut to you sprinting out the door half dressed with a badge still around your neck from last night.
- First shot:
- Phone screen lighting up on a nightstand in a dark hotel room
- Ends:
- Door slams, you're gone, shot lingers on the untouched alarm clock still buzzing. Lets viewers fill in the disaster.
- Caption:
- The system failed me #conference #sko #worktravel
- 02S tier
POV: the conference hotel bar closes at 2 but your sales team doesn't know that
On screen: “POV: the bar closed an hour ago and your team still hasn't left”
Quick pan around an empty hotel lobby bar, chairs up on tables, one lone guy in a polo still holding a drink talking to the bartender who's clearly closing up.
- First shot:
- Wide shot of an empty hotel lobby bar with chairs stacked
- Ends:
- Bartender turns off the last light, guy keeps talking mid-sentence into the dark. Lands because it never explains, just shows.
- Caption:
- Road warriors never stop #sko #roadwarrior #worktravel
- 03S tier
Blue collar workers will never understand the pain of a Slack message during PTO
On screen: “Blue collar workers will never understand the pain of a Slack ping during PTO”
Open relaxing in a hammock or pool, phone buzzes, you visibly deflate and reach for the laptop sitting just out of frame.
- First shot:
- Man relaxing poolside with a drink, phone face down beside him
- Ends:
- He opens the laptop poolside and starts typing, drink still in hand. Lands as the same absurd 'struggle' format that already works.
- Caption:
- The grind never stops #wfhlife #corporatelife #9tothrive
Your next 30 days
- 1Post 3 times a week (you have been at about 3).
- 2Make 2 of those about blue collar vs remote work, 12 seconds or less. It has made 4 of your hits.
- 3Give sales conference travel one slot a week. It has 3 hits too.
- 4Bring back posts about golf and country club work: 2 hits, but nothing in 35 days.
- 5Use the last slot each week for one test from the ideas below, and judge every post after two days, not two hours.
What your hits do
- The tease-first caption format, like "POV: You're 14 Marriott sodas deep at 1:17AM," sets up the whole joke before you ever cut to visuals.
- A single clean visual payoff, like the closing door in the Marriott soda video, lets viewers fill in the rest instead of explaining it.
What to stop
- Long day-in-the-life vlogs with timestamps, like the "Working From Home From the Golf Course" post, have no punchline and just trail off.
- Straight-to-camera narration without a visual gag, like the airport brand deal vlog, reads as a normal travel log instead of a bit. Lead with a tease line and let the visual do the punchline.
Why each one counts

Your highest performing subject by far, built on the POV soda-count format from "14 Marriott sodas deep."

- First shot:
- Back seat POV of an Uber dashboard, lanyard visible in frame

On screen: “POV: the dentist appointment that became 9 holes”
Start dressed for a dentist visit, quick cut shows you walking into a golf course instead, playing a few holes before cutting back to a waiting room selfie.
- First shot:
- Man checking his watch in dentist office attire

How this DNA was made
We read your last 60 public posts that are over two days old and not pinned. Your usual views is what a typical post of yours gets: half your posts got more, half got less. A hit is a post with at least double your usual views. A pattern counts when at least 3 posts have it, at least 3 do not, and its posts usually get at least 1.25x your usual views. Formats, hooks and subjects are read by AI from your captions and the covers of 59 posts. AI also watched 12 of your videos with sound and read the top comments under 3 of your hits. Ideas are suggestions, not a promise of views.
