Lean in twice, vanish on the third beat, let the pet walk in

You repeat the same small movement twice, then duck out of frame on the third beat and a pet walks into the spot you left. It started as an animation meme, live-action pet owners took it over, and it broke wide in the second week of August, with large accounts including Brooke Monk pushing views from eight million into the twelve million range.
Editor's note
One fixed camera and two cuts, which makes it one of the few formats a brand account can match the same day. Swap the pet for a product and it is already an ad. But the payoff dies if the first two beats are thrown away, so the value sits in how you play the repeat.
