0:00game setup static
This scene presents a static, overhead medium shot of a wooden table covered with components of 'The Oatmeal Horrible Therapist' card game. In the upper left, a black and white game box is partially visible, displaying the game title. To the right, there are stacks of game cards; a prominent stack of yellow-backed 'Question' cards, and to its right, a stack of red-backed 'Treatment' cards, and a stack of black-backed 'Answer' cards. Centered in the foreground, a white game card is laid face-up, featuring a minimalist cartoon drawing of a small, white, bunny-like creature sitting on a therapist's chair. A speech bubble above it reads, 'Why do you cry at night?'. The lighting is bright and even, casting soft shadows, suggesting an indoor setting with overhead light. The dominant color palette consists of natural wood tones, with black, white, yellow, and red accents from the game components. A white text overlay at the bottom of the screen reads 'Horrible Therapist never gets old 😭', partially obscuring the cards.
0:00first answer card placement
The scene continues with a medium shot of the game table. A human hand, with well-manicured nails painted with a light pink polish, enters the frame from the top-right, briefly pointing an index finger at the 'Why do you cry at night?' card. Immediately after, the same hand places a new white rectangular card face-up on the table, to the left of the initial question card. This newly placed card depicts two distinct cartoon creatures: one sitting on a therapist's chair and another lying on a chaise lounge, with a speech bubble stating, 'I realized that I'm attracted to losers.' The lighting remains consistent, highlighting the smooth texture of the wooden table. The persistent white text overlay, 'Horrible Therapist never gets old 😭', remains at the bottom of the screen.
0:02second answer card placement
The scene maintains a medium shot of the game table. A second human hand, also with neatly manicured nails painted in a rich red color, enters from the top-right and places a red-backed game card (backside up) near the other stacks, specifically next to the black 'Answer' card stack. Immediately after, the first hand (with light pink nails) re-enters the frame from the top-right and places a black-backed 'Answer' card face-up next to the yellow 'Question' card stack. This card displays a prominent white checkmark and the text 'Answer' and 'Horrible Therapist'. The overall lighting and environment remain consistent, with the warm wooden table providing a neutral background for the colorful cards. The white text overlay, 'Horrible Therapist never gets old 😭', is still visible at the bottom.
0:04final card placement and zoom
The scene continues with a medium shot of the game table, which gradually transitions into a medium close-up through a slow zoom. The second hand (red nails) enters the frame from the top-right and places another red 'Treatment' card face-up next to the black 'Answer' card, revealing a white cross symbol and the text 'Treatment'. Following this, the first hand (pink nails) places a final white rectangular card face-up on the table, below the previously placed answer cards. This new card features two cartoon teeth-like creatures, one appearing to be a therapist and the other a patient on a chaise lounge. A speech bubble from the 'therapist' states, 'That's EXACTLY why I brought in your cousin Travis today.' The camera slowly zooms in and subtly pans to the right, tightening the frame on the newly placed cards. The soft, even lighting continues to illuminate the game pieces on the warm wooden surface. The persistent white text overlay, 'Horrible Therapist never gets old 😭', is still visible, though slightly more prominent due to the zoom.
