A high-tension customer service interaction where a boundary is set and an entitled customer is forced to back down.
“If you do not waive the fee, I am leaving.”
The Gatekeeper Protocol
A short-form sketch featuring an absurdly strict employee denying a simple request to highlight common customer service frustrations.
“I cannot process your refund unless you provide the original box in its vacuum-sealed state.”
The Perfect Missed Moment
A long-form comedic sketch contrasting a helpful service response with a frustratingly ill-timed customer request.
“Waiting three weeks for a response only to get an automated apology.”
The Perspective Pivot
A dual-narrative sketch that presents the same customer service interaction from two conflicting, increasingly absurd viewpoints.
“I need you to refund this order because my cat disliked the color of the box.”
