The scouts
Two minutes. A dog named Heinekin. A grown man in meltdown. The whole thing is a setup for a punchline I'm not going to spoil — that's exactly the kind of efficiency I respect.
A two-minute Vine-poisoned tilt from straight-man panic to screwball collapse — Duncan's commitment is the whole gag. Diverting, slight, gone before objection.
Two-minute one-man screwball escalation in an orange polo, hunting a lost dog through a park — the page summary calls out 'frantic energy and physical comedy' and at 120 seconds that's a contained bet. Either it lands or it's over fast.
