This one got 1.6M. That gap — not the raw number — is what makes the format worth copying.
A man in a business shirt and pants is on a call, seemingly working remotely from a high-rise balcony. He then gets up and starts playing soccer with another person on the balcony, all while still pretending to be on the phone, before sitting back down to continue his 'work'.

Why it worked
The humor comes from the relatable scenario of trying to appear busy or professional while actually doing something completely unrelated and fun. The contrast between the audio of a sales call and the visual of playing soccer creates a comedic effect that resonates with many who work remotely or have demanding jobs.
Relatable humor for remote workers and sales professionals.Clear and concise visual storytelling.Effective use of on-screen text to set the scene.Good pacing that keeps the viewer engaged.
