Why it worked

The humor comes from the relatable situation of trying to wake up a sleepy partner and the unexpected, slightly absurd method used to achieve it. The quick, punchy dialogue and visual cues contribute to its effectiveness.

Summary

A man tries to wake up his wife by pretending they have arrived at Starbucks and ordering her a drink. His wife eventually wakes up, confused, and points out they are not at Starbucks.

Structure

1Man tries to wake up his wife.
2He pretends they are at Starbucks and orders a drink.
3The wife starts to wake up.
4She realizes they are not at Starbucks.

Product placement

Starbucks: a coffeehouse chain that ACTS as a place to buy coffee and other drinks. Removing it would change the context of the joke. Starbucks logo appears on the cup, which is incidental.
