This mattress ad got 33 million YouTube views — by using this OVERLOOKED HUMOR TRICK: It’s this: the DOUBLE PUNCHLINE. Let’s break down the ad — and why the double punchline works so well. 😂 PUNCHLINE 1: Two burglars notice a Purple mattress — and then abandon their crime, obsess over the mattress, and fall asleep. 🤣 PUNCHLINE 2: They wake up next to the police — who fell asleep next to them! Now, consider the effect of this... PUNCHLINE 1 is funny, but not surprising. You saw it coming. It’s also open to interpretation: Sure, the mattress could be soft… or these crooks could be dumb. PUNCHLINE 2 comes faster, so it’s more surprising and funnier. But critically, it also erases any doubt: It’s not just the crooks. The mattress is REALLY soft.
