149 million views, and nobody is trying to sell anything
Aris Yeager's best-performing Reel did 149.5 million views on an account of 1.45 million followers. It opens mid-argument about parmesan. There is no setup, no claim, no promise, and the first words are somebody being interrupted.
Four of these five are sketches, and all four open inside the scene. What are you doing, I'm gonna buy this parmesan. Yo, buddy, what's up, bro, piss off, bro. How men act when a girl is wearing a nicer watch than them. The viewer arrives after the situation has already started, which removes the moment where they decide whether the premise interests them.
The fifth is the opposite and it is the weakest: I was meant to inherit the family business, but now I run a tech startup for creatives. That is a proper setup, properly delivered, and it did 733,000 views against 149.5 million for a man shouting about cheese.
The second-best is a hybrid worth noting. Where am I from, well, it depends, because I was born in Switzerland is a personal answer rather than a sketch, and it did 2.2 million. The account can do earnest content; it simply does an order of magnitude less when it does.
The hooks on this account
| Hook pattern | What it does | From which Reel |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-scene drop | Begin after the situation has started. The viewer never gets a chance to judge the premise. | What are you doing, I'm gonna buy this parmesan, 149.5M views. |
| Titled observation | State the social situation as a title card and then act it. | How men act when a girl is wearing a nicer watch, 1.4M views. |
| Personal answer | Answer a question about yourself honestly, with the complication included. | Where am I from, well, it depends, 2.2M views. |
What you can copy
- Start after the beginning. Four of these five open with the scene already running and no explanation of it.
- Do not write a premise the viewer can decline. A setup gives them somewhere to stop; a scene in progress does not.
- Keep the earnest content, but know what it costs. The one sincere Reel here did roughly a two-hundredth of the sketch.
