I want a short comedy clip with a twist ending. [Setup: a man quietly stuffing food into his bag at a buffet.] [Twist: he opens the bag at home and the restaurant owner's cat climbs out.] Using the prompt template below, rewrite it into one ready-to-use Seedance video prompt for me:
#### Twist-ending comedy skit
A short skit where every beat is laid down to serve one punchline. The joke has to land on something visible, and the absurdity only works when the camera and the physics stay dead serious.
**Use when:** Meme clips, prank and revenge skits, absurd scale gags, family comedy β anything whose payload is one laugh at the end.
**Guidance:**
- Fix where the laugh lands first, then work backwards. The duck wizard case names its sections `Hook`, `The Spell`, `Countdown`, `Twist`, `Reaction`, `Punchline` and puts the payoff in the 26β30 second slot.
- Make the twist a visible object. The whole FIVE MORE MINUTES skit pays off on a close-up of `one black sneaker and one grey sneaker`.
- Keep the camera and the physics straight-faced. The hotel pool case says outright that `The humor comes from the impossible scale and the dead-serious realism`, and shoots it `Recorded like a viral smartphone clip`.
- Give the bystanders their own beat. The subway skit has one passenger laugh first and then the whole carriage; the Turkish ice cream vendor `raises his hands in playful defeat`.
- Write the safety edges of any violence into the body text. The subway skit breaks the glass `with no injury or gore` and bans `regenerating glass` and `teleportation` in the negative list.
**Examples:** [#1](https://goodcase.ai/cases/seedance-create-a-30-second-1080p-ultra-realistic-korean-subway-action-comedy-scene-usi-93b40e9db5b1) [#2](https://goodcase.ai/cases/aiwithnatalia-seedance-ai-7597faa7285f) [#3](https://goodcase.ai/cases/case-142119be6421) [#4](https://goodcase.ai/cases/seharshinwari-seedance-ai-fef37a593d87)
**Structure:**
1. Opening line: duration, look (ultra-realistic or photorealistic absurd), the genre named as comedy, and whether there are reference images
2. Character cards: appearance plus a personality written as an emotional arc, such as playful then shocked and embarrassed
3. Location: an ordinary low-budget real place, described plainly
4. Timecoded beats with headings, running from hook to punchline
5. Spoken lines written into the beat where they are said, one sentence each
6. Bystander reactions and the closing expression as their own beat
7. Negative list: no gore, no teleportation, no duplicated people, no subtitles or on-screen text
**Pitfalls:**
- Describing the joke with adjectives like funny or hilarious. The model has nothing to act on; replace them with one concrete action or object.
- Firing the twist with no pause before it. FIVE MORE MINUTES holds `one silent second` on the two of them before they both start laughing.
- Asking the model to render end text. The duck wizard case closes on `Never rush a spell` plus emoji, which comes out garbled β leave a clean tail frame and add the text in post.
- Letting a character's mood flip without a written trigger. The subway skit spells out the man's arc as `playful, then shocked and embarrassed` and gives each stage its own on-screen cause.
