Script IDs OUT-001 through OUT-005. **Arm 2 — Participation.** Optimised for comments and shares. Test design: [The 100](/social/scripts/the-100/design). Character: [Character Config](/social/character-config). ## Why This Pack Exists The single most transferable finding in the [teardowns](/social/teardowns#2-gardening--and-why-we-should-not-use-it), and the one we were doing nothing with: > The format did not go mainstream from inside the community. It broke when an **outsider** posted a confession: *"I actually feel so stupid right now… This whole time I thought she was a professional gardener and that she had an acre of land."* > > **That video outperformed every in-community video combined.** The code being *cracked* is more viral than the code itself. > > **The outsider-confession mechanic transfers regardless of code.** Anything the audience has to decode — a running joke, a recurring character, an in-group reference — gets its biggest video from the person explaining it to everyone else. 7.7M plays and 661K likes in 19 days, from a video whose entire content is *"I had this wrong."* ## What Actually Travels **The confession is not that the outsider was stupid. It is that the thing was misleading.** Every episode here lands on the same beat: the person was reasoning correctly from the information they were given, and the information was bad. That is why it plays as a confession rather than a dunk — and it is also, precisely, our product thesis. | Do | Do not | | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Let the Outsider be genuinely smart and genuinely wrong | Make them a fool — the audience will side with them, not us | | Have them arrive at the misunderstanding logically | Skip the reasoning; the reasoning *is* the relatability | | Let Professor High say almost nothing | Have him explain at length — that turns a confession into a lesson | | End on the fix, not on the embarrassment | Leave them humiliated | ## The Character **The Outsider** is new and needs a locked Cantina character. Design brief: bright, tidy, entirely sincere, dressed like they have never been in a dispensary. Silhouette must contrast hard with the Maximizer and the Old Head — upright where they slouch. **Professor High is barely in this pack.** He appears at the end, says one or two lines, and gets out. If he takes over, the mechanic dies — the whole finding is that the *outsider's* voice is the one that travels. *** ## OUT-001 — "I Thought Those Were Chemicals" | | | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Runtime** | 20 seconds | | **Register** | Comedy | | **CTA type** | Comment | | **Test variable** | **Pack baseline.** Does an outsider-voiced confession out-perform the same fact delivered by Professor High? | | **Data needed** | Verified: indica/sativa are not chemical categories; three terpenes lead 86% of classified strains. | **Hooks** | Slot | ID | Line | | ---- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | A | `ST-09` | "I feel genuinely stupid and I need to say it out loud." | | B | `OL-64` | "She has just found out the two words mean nothing." | | C | `BC-02` | "Indica and sativa don't exist anymore." | **Script** | Time | Dialogue | On Screen | Shot | | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | 0:00-0:06 | OUTSIDER: *(straight to camera, mortified, laughing at herself)* "Okay so.

Briefs and swap rules: /social/cast TONE: This is a CONFESSION VIDEO, not a sketch. The Outsider talks straight down the lens like she is posting to her own account — slightly embarrassed, laughing at herself, completely likeable. She is smart and was wrong. She is NEVER mocked. IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on her already mid-confession, with "Okay so." No title card, no logo, no narration first. No on-screen text until the final beat. IMPORTANT — SHOT STYLE: her shots should feel like a phone selfie video — a loose static medium, slightly imperfect framing, plain domestic background. This deliberately contrasts with Professor High's locked lab compositions. IMPORTANT — PROFESSOR HIGH IS BARELY IN THIS. Two lines at the end. He does not explain, correct, or elaborate. ENVIRONMENT: A plain domestic room for the Outsider, then Professor High's lab. No brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera. No product or packaging visible. SHOTS + DIALOGUE: 1.

The mitigation is in the prompt and it is not optional: **Professor High does not acknowledge the bit.** He confirms he is a pineapple with the same flatness he uses for a terpene percentage. If he winks, we lose the character; if he stays flat, the confession lands and the character survives intact. ## Related Where this pack sits in the slate. The 7.7M outsider confession.
