Why it worked

The humor comes from the relatable situation of wanting personal space and Steve Harvey's exaggerated, yet helpful, approach to solving it. The unexpected pivot to asking about Macy's adds to the comedic effect.

Summary

A woman asks Steve Harvey for advice on how to appear less approachable so people don't bother her on public transport. Steve Harvey humorously offers to show her several ways to achieve this, then asks if she knows where Macy's is.
