Why it worked

The video uses a relatable, humorous, and slightly controversial premise that plays on common tropes about relationship dynamics and 'signs' of a partner coming out, which encourages high engagement and comments.

Summary

A couple performs a comedic skit in an elevator where the girlfriend reflects on her boyfriend's behavior before he came out to her. The boyfriend is wearing a crop top and skirt, and the girlfriend makes a comment about him being comfortable in his own shoes, which he corrects as a metaphor.
