What to study

Expectation Violation

The most famous woman in Britain sits on a gossip magazine cover insisting she is normal. The crown against the chatty quote is the joke. The fake cover sells it better than any caption could. A teased backfire gives you a story to finish.

Thumbnail

It stages the joke as a believable gossip-magazine cover.

Remix this

If you teach with humour, mock up a format everyone knows, like a magazine cover. Put your subject somewhere they should never be. The clash does the pulling.
