Hook them in. People won’t remember what you said or what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel. You have to have a sense of story. You watch a viral video, there’s usually some sort of story: a beginning, middle and end.
Someone slips on a banana peel or a guy in a New York subway happens to break out in a split, and everyone starts laughing. That’s a 1-2 punch already — you have the element of surprise and a story. Someone’s on a subway, breaks into a split and people laugh. That’s the story. People are engaged emotionally.
