14:24I Hired A F1 Driver To Beat My Friends At Go Karting
Save referenceExpectation Violation
Hiring a professional racer to beat your mates at go-karting is gloriously petty. The driver's red suit matches Max's and the helmet hides the face. So do the friends think it's Max, and when do they work it out?
'To Beat My Friends' is the funny part, because it tells you the victims are ordinary mates, not rival racers, so the contest is hopelessly unfair.
F1 DRIVER and the arrow tell you who's under the helmet, and Max's sheepish look to camera admits this is a bit much.
When your video puts a real expert up against people who don't know it, label the expert with an arrow so the viewer is in on it. Show your own face reacting to what you've set up.
Let the viewer in on the secret the others don't know.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
