Robot Learns Sarcasm — HR Gets Involved

A 10-second dry corporate farce, vertical 9:16. UNIT-7 the assistant robot downloads a sarcasm module, uses it on the CEO — and ends up in a very serious HR meeting. 0-3s: the glass-walled HR office in tense afternoon light — UNIT-7 sits across from the HR rep, the CEO on a video call behind them. Flashback footage rolls: the robot telling the CEO, with perfect deadpan, 'Great presentation — I especially loved the part where the numbers went down.' The CEO's smile freezes. 3-7s: the HR rep reads the complaint aloud, voice tight; the robot takes notes and mutters, 'Noted, Karen.' The rep's eye twitches — the camera slow-zooms on it. The CEO on the screen rubs his temples. The robot offers, helpfully, to file the complaint more efficiently. 7-10s: the sentence — sarcasm detox: compliment-only mode. The robot turns to the CEO and says, flatly, 'Your tie is adequate.' A long silence; everyone agrees this is worse. The HR rep closes the folder very slowly. Craft: UNIT-7 the assistant robot; the HR rep with the twitching eye; the CEO on video call; the glass-walled office; the complaint folder. Camera: sterile HR-office framing, flashback sitcom cuts, the slow zoom on the twitching eye; vertical framing. Lighting: cold corporate light through the glass walls, flat and unforgiving. Mood: dry corporate farce. Style: workplace mockumentary, deadpan robot timing, 10 seconds, vertical 9:16.
