6:46Another Cat Who Forgot She's Supposed to Be a Cat😂
Save referenceExpectation Violation
Cat owners know most cats fight a brush. This one sits on a grooming table, being combed, and stares at the camera like it's nothing. The title makes the joke, that she's forgotten she's a cat, and you click to see how calm she stays.
'Supposed to Be a Cat' leans on cats' reputation for hating being handled, 'Another' tells regulars it's a running series, and the laughing emoji flags it as fun.
The cat, two hands and a plain grey backdrop are all there is, so her calm stare carries it, and the comb mid-stroke shows she's being groomed right now.
When a person or thing you feature acts against its reputation, like a sceptic loving your method, show that moment plainly, with nothing else in frame. Let the title name the reputation, so the image becomes the joke.
Show the opposite of the reputation, and let the title name it.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
