Why it worked

The video uses a common comedic trope of a character reacting with indifference to a serious situation, subverting expectations and creating humor through the absurd request about Netflix.

Summary

A man is playing video games when he receives a call from a kidnapper who claims to have abducted his "home girl" and demands a ransom of £50,000. The man dismisses the threat, stating he would sell the person for a cheeseburger and refuses to pay, instead asking the kidnapper to tell the person to update their Netflix payment so he can watch his show.

Transcript

Hello? Hello? Hello? I have kidnapped your home girl. What? And if you ever wanna see her again, you need to send me £50,000 into my bank account by tonight. Ha ha ha ha ha! 50,000 pounds? What the hell? Hello? I don't think you heard me the first time. I said I want £50,000. £50,000. Shh shh shh shh. Alright, I already did the first time. Listen, I don't know who you think I am, but if you want that money, you gotta go find one of the guys on her roster. You're the most likely to get that money. I would sell this girl for a cheeseburger. And you think I'm gonna pay £50,000? You must have lost your marbles. Who told you to call me? Well, I assume since you were first on her best friends list, that you'd be willing to spend money to get her back. Well, you assume the wrong. Okay, I ain't sending nothing. But listen, before I go, can you please tell her to update her Netflix payment because I'm trying to watch my show right now and yeah, it ain't letting me. Okay. Anyways, good luck and goodbye.
