Why it works
The audio supplies the humor or emotion and the pet's natural motion becomes the second character. A relatable situation in the hook makes it instantly clear.
Hook formulaYour [pet] when you [relatable situation]
How to make it
- 1Choose audio or write a subtitle script with clear beats
- 2Match the pet's natural actions to the lines
- 3Add a context banner or hook text for the situation
Examples

How this is measured
- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
