Why it worked

The humor comes from the unexpected and absurd answer the boss gives to a seemingly innocent question, subverting expectations and creating a comedic punchline.

Summary

A young woman asks her boss a hypothetical question about what he would do if a stray orphan came to their cookie dough shop. The boss initially reacts with surprise and tells her to shut off the camera, but then humorously describes a series of absurd and violent actions he would take.

Structure

3Boss humorously describes his 'plan'
4Boss throws his hands up in a gesture of finality

Product placement

Wonderland Cookie Dough (ACTS - it is a bakery where the video takes place, and the creator works there. Removing it would change the context of the video.)

On-screen text

I JUST ASKED MY BOSS WHAT HE WOULD DO IF A STRAY ORPHAN CAME. NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU ASKED ME. NO! SHUT THE CAMERA OFF. NOW YOU'RE FIRED. FIRST I WOULD TRY TO KICK IT. PROBABLY STRANGLE IT, TWIRL IT AROUND, AND THEN THROW IT OUT THE DOOR. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO.

I just asked my boss what he would do if a stray orphan came. No, that is not what you asked me. No! Shut the camera off. Now you're fired. First I would try to kick it. Probably strangle it, twirl it around, and then throw it out the door. That's what I would do.
