Why it worked
The video taps into a relatable workplace frustration, using humor and a common scenario to connect with a broad audience. The use of animated cats adds a layer of absurdity that enhances the comedic effect.
Summary
The video humorously depicts a common workplace scenario where an employee spends significant time creating a detailed guide, only for a coworker to immediately ask a basic question about it. This highlights the frustration of over-explaining tasks that seem simple to the creator but are not to others.

Coworker 5 minutes later:
"Hey, quick question,
how do I do this?"
Also me: Maybe if I knock some sense in...
