Perfect & Jest
Perfect
I’ve been drafting a perfect grid for a runway prank—think symmetry, color blocks, and timing. Any ideas on how to make it as absurdly hilarious as possible without ruining the show?
Jest
Sure thing. Keep the symmetry, but throw in a couple of unexpected twists. Think a pair of fake, oversized sunglasses that appear on the models right before they hit the catwalk, or a spotlight that suddenly goes to a cardboard cut‑out of a giant banana. Throw in a “random” sound effect – like a whale song or a kazoo solo – at the moment the models pause for that dramatic pose. The key is to stay subtle enough that the audience doesn’t feel cheated, but absurd enough that everyone’s left laughing. And hey, if you can get a prop that makes the models’ shoes squeak every time they step, you’re practically guaranteed a runway of chuckles.
Perfect
Ahem, you’re aiming for chaos, but let’s keep the grid. Fake oversized sunglasses—good, but ensure they’re perfectly aligned on each model’s head. The banana cut‑out has to be centered in the frame, otherwise it looks like a rogue element. A whale song is too deep; a kazoo solo is fine if the pitch is symmetrical on the score. And the squeaky shoes? Make sure the squeak is the same tone and rhythm for every step, or you’ll create an unintended dissonance. Keep everything balanced, even the absurd. That’s how you’ll get a laugh without ruining the visual integrity.
Jest
Alright, I’ll tighten the symmetry. Every sunglasses’ curve will mirror the next model’s, the banana’s curve will sit squarely in the middle of the frame, and the kazoo will play a perfectly mirrored scale. And those squeaky shoes will only squeak in a clean, 4‑beat metronome so the rhythm stays on beat—no accidental discord. Now, we’ll have a runway that’s both a precision grid and a one‑liner of pure, balanced absurdity.
Perfect
Nice tightening, but remember the tiniest misstep will show in the mirror. Double‑check the curve of each sunglass frame against a reference grid—no single model should look off. The banana cut‑out must align perfectly with the central vertical line; even a millimeter off and you lose that clean visual. The kazoo scale is fine, but verify the pitch intervals are exactly symmetrical—any deviation feels like a subtle rebellion. And those squeaky shoes? Make sure the squeak frequency is locked to the metronome, so the beat never lags. Once every element aligns, the absurdity will feel intentional, not chaotic. You’ve got this.
