# Reaction-panel repost — rebuild sheet

A borrowed overhead graphic — four labelled pests in a size-ordered row under "Get rid of 3 keep 1" — fills the screen while a small selfie window pinned over it talks; 5,984,046 views, 348,966 likes, 35.69s, caption is ten emoji and no words.

**Why it works**
The panel poses a forced choice, so the viewer has already picked their answer before the creator finishes a sentence — the argument is made by the graphic, not the person, and the pinned laugh-emoji row works as a laugh track telling them their pick is the joke. Shrinking the creator to a picture-in-picture is what keeps it working: nothing competes with the panel, and the face only has to react, not perform.

**The beats**

| Time | What happens | On-screen text |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2.86s | Full-frame borrowed still: white tiled floor shot from overhead, four specimens left-to-right smallest→largest, each labelled. A small selfie window pinned low-centre — bald man, glasses, dark sleeveless top, chest-up, mid-speech, thumb toward the lens. Only he moves. | Get rid of 3 keep 1 · Bedbug · Mosquito · Cockroach · Rat · 😂 ×12 |
| 8.57s | Identical panel, identical window position. Same man further into the sentence, leaning in, hand up. The panel behind has not changed by a pixel. | Get rid of 3 keep 1 · Bedbug · Mosquito · Cockroach · Rat · 😂 ×12 |
| 14.28s | Hard cut to a dark, murky low-light scene: a shiny black curved surface with a seam across the bottom of frame, a faint vertical streak of light left-of-centre, a small warm point of light at the right edge. Selfie window gone. **The subject here is not identifiable from the frames — I can't say what the object or the room is.** | 😂 ×12 |
| 19.99s | Same dark scene, closer: the black shape larger and pushed lower-left. Still nothing identifiable. | 😂 ×12 |
| 25.7s | Same dark scene, the black shape a rounded mass low-centre, light streak now centred. The framing drifts rather than cuts — this reads as one continuous handheld move. | 😂 ×12 |
| 31.41s | Widest of the dark act: black shape spanning the bottom third with a visible ridge, light streak brightest above it. It ends without the dark act ever resolving. | 😂 ×12 |

**Honest gaps.** Half the runtime — everything after 14.28s — is a dark shot I cannot read, so I'm not describing what it shows or what it's for. There's no audio in the frames, so what the creator actually says is unknown; the caption is emoji only and carries no information. And the panel itself is borrowed content, not something this creator shot.

**What carries the value**
The panel. Four labelled things in a size-ordered row under a forced-choice headline — it makes the viewer pick before anyone speaks. The pinned laugh row is the second half of the mechanic: it frames the pick as a joke rather than a question, which is what earns the comment section.

**Shoot it**

*The panel (this is a build, not a shoot).* Lay four items on a plain white floor or a plain white surface. Shoot straight down from overhead — phone flat, no angle. Flat, even overhead light, no styling, no props, no shadows you had to arrange. Order them left to right smallest to largest; the size progression is the joke's spine. Add one small plain black label above each item and the headline in bold white with a heavy black outline across the top. It should look like a photo someone took, not a designed graphic.

*The reaction window.* Front camera at arm's length, chest-up, eye level, plain indoor light on the face — a window works. Talk straight down the lens. Composite it as a small rectangle pinned low-centre over the panel, and do not move it, resize it, or cut away from it. It stays the same size and place the whole act.

*Wardrobe.* Plain dark sleeveless top or similar — nothing branded, nothing patterned, nothing that competes with the panel. The window is small; the clothes just have to disappear.

*Rules that make or break it.* The panel never moves and never changes. The emoji row goes on at frame one and never leaves, not even across the cut. No zoom, no pan, no cut inside the first act. One person, one take.

**Or generate it**

```
vertical 9:16, the look of a phone screenshot: a plain white tiled floor filling the frame photographed from directly overhead, four items laid out in a single left-to-right row ordered smallest to largest with even spacing — one of them {PRODUCT} — each item carrying a small plain black label in the space directly above it, hard flat overhead light, no styling and no set dressing, slight compression softness; pinned in the lower centre a small rectangular selfie-camera window showing {SUBJECT} from the chest up in a plain dark sleeveless top, ordinary indoor light on the face, mid-speech looking straight down the lens; no other on-screen text
```

*Motion:* the panel is a locked still — nothing behind moves; only the small pinned selfie window is live, the person talking and gesturing straight to camera with no zoom, pan or cut for the whole first act.

*Text-overlay pattern:* headline across the top of the panel in bold white with a heavy black outline — `Get rid of {N} keep {N}`. A small plain black label above each item — `{ITEM_1}` `{ITEM_2}` `{ITEM_3}` `{ITEM_4}`. A single unbroken row of about twelve 😂 pinned across the upper third, same position, never changing, for the entire runtime including after the cut.
