A couple engages in a pillow fight, but the man accidentally hits the woman so hard she transforms into a pillow with a painted face and wig. He is shocked and then tries to leave with the 'pillow-woman' in a suitcase, only to be confronted by the actual woman.

Why it worked
The video works due to its unexpected twist and comedic timing. The exaggerated reaction of the man and the visual gag of the woman turning into a pillow are highly entertaining and shareable. The use of a popular sound adds to its trendiness.
