6:45Pongfinity vs. Football Goalkeeper
Save referenceExpectation Violation
A ping pong bat against a football goalkeeper is a daft, fun matchup. The arrow curls the tiny ball towards the top corner, with the keeper at full stretch. 'impossible.' says the shot shouldn't work, so you click to see if it goes in.
'vs.' sets it up as a contest, and naming a real football goalkeeper tells viewers the ball is up against someone whose job is stopping shots.
The curved yellow arrow shows the spin at a glance, his red shirt stands out against the green grass, and the lowercase word with a full stop reads as deadpan.
When you can put your skill up against an expert from a different field, show the moment of the attempt with the path drawn on. Keep the result open and let one flat word call it impossible.
Pit your skill against the wrong expert, then draw the attempt.
