Why it worked

The video likely worked due to its unexpected and humorous content, combining a beloved Star Wars character with a relatable, albeit absurd, scenario of drunken moonwalking on a morning talk show.

Summary

This video shows a clip of an Ewok costume character appearing on the Today Show in 2009. The text overlay humorously recounts the Ewok attempting to drink vodka and moonwalking.

Structure

1Introduction of the Ewok on the Today Show
2Ewok's humorous actions (drinking vodka, moonwalking)
3Replay of the moonwalking
4Commentary on the Ewok's actions

Product placement

Today Show: it APPEARS as the venue for the event. Removing it would change the context of the event but not the event itself. It is incidental. Citibank: it APPEARS as a watermark in the background. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. It is incidental.

On-screen text
