🎬 "Bosses be like:"
🧠 Why it works:
Everyone's heard the classic boss catchphrases ("Let's circle back," "Think outside the box"). By flipping those overused lines into punchlines, you tap into shared workplace frustration—instant relatability—and there's huge series potential ("Bosses be like: Performance review edition," "Remote bosses be like," etc.).
🎬 How to do it:
Research the top 3–5 phrases your boss always says (e.g. "Let's circle back," "Keep me posted," "Low-hanging fruit"). Write each phrase on-screen as your "boss" voiceover delivers it in a deadpan tone. Follow immediately with your comic reaction or absurd literal interpretation (e.g. "Circle back? Should I grab a hula hoop?"). End with a quick caption: "Tag a boss who says this!"

🎬 How to do it:
Compile 5-7 iconic teacher phrases. Record yourself saying each one in an exaggerated "teacher voice" while holding a pointer or wearing glasses.
