Why it worked

The video uses relatable humor and exaggeration to comment on the perceived difficulty of different college majors, which resonates with a student audience. The quick cuts between majors and the comedic delivery of the 'homework' tasks create an engaging and shareable format.

Summary

The video humorously contrasts the perceived homework load of different college majors. It starts with architecture and nursing, highlighting their intense workloads, then moves to business with a joke about coloring books and crayons, fashion with tailoring and movie analysis, and finally chemistry with a seemingly impossible task of testing water pH and starting a fire with water, implying a very difficult and time-consuming workload.

Structure

Transcript

How much homework do I get? Oh, we have so much homework. The workload is crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, on the first day of class, the professor recommended not taking any other classes other than his. And said if anyone is employed and has a job, that they should quit because there is so much work. What's my homework? Oh, well I work overnight at a hospital for an unpaid internship. I study my med school textbooks for three to five hours a night while I cry profusely into my hands. And dare I say anymore? I need to go find a nice corner to cry in next to the engineering majors. I'm so stressed. You think all these other majors are hard? Last week, I had to draw in a coloring book. And I'm going to be honest with you, I keep accidentally eating the crayons. The blue ones taste the best. I accidentally got one stuck in my nose because I tried to bite it. Should have done that, but no. The homework assignments are so hard. What's my homework? I have to tailor three suits, watch and take notes on the movie The Devil Wears Prada, and then apply for an internship for the upcoming Met Gala. Yeah, no, thankfully it's not too bad. What's my homework? I have to go test the pH balance of the city's water supply. And I have to start a fire by only using water. But most importantly, I just bombed this assignment. I've been sitting here for the last 25 minutes because I can't move. Yeah, I really need this class to graduate. And I'm just taking it in because I don't know if I'll have another semester. After I get my grade back.
