Hailuo prompts: Comedy

5 Hailuo prompts for comedy scenes. Swap in your own character names and keep the camera language.

Food truck smoke clears the wedding lawn

ComedyWide

Wide shot of a sunny garden wedding lawn with white chairs and a floral arch. A battered food truck parked at the edge suddenly belches a thick cloud of gray smoke from its roof vent. Guests in pastel outfits leap up and scatter, hats flying, while a flower girl keeps eating a taco, unbothered. [Pull out] to reveal the full chaos. Bright daylight, vivid colors, comedic timing, realistic smoke.

Settings: Hailuo 2.3 image-to-video, 9:16 first frame, 6s, 1080P, prompt optimizer off

Physical comedy reads best wide. One calm character in the chaos, the flower girl, is the punchline. Hailuo's smoke and crowd motion carry the gag.

Tortilla flip lands on the clipboard

ComedyMedium

Medium shot through a cramped food truck window: a 27-year-old man with curly hair and a mustard-stained apron flips a tortilla high off the griddle with a showy flourish. It sails out the window and lands flat on the clipboard of a 26-year-old woman with a headset and a color-coded clipboard, who is standing outside. She freezes and stares at it. [Static shot] the whole time. Bright daylight, saturated colors, comedic timing.

Settings: Hailuo 2.3 image-to-video, 9:16 first frame, 6s, 1080P, prompt optimizer off

A locked camera lets the object's path be the joke. Say where the tortilla starts and lands, so Hailuo commits to the arc.

Priya's eye twitch

ComedyClose-up

integrated_multimodal_description: [Shot 1] Live-action, cinematic, a vertical close-up of a 26-year-old woman with a headset and a color-coded clipboard, with a tortilla stuck to the clipboard, in bright daylight at an outdoor wedding. She stares straight into the lens, completely deadpan; one eyelid twitches twice and her headset crackles. The camera holds a static shot. overall_soundscape: Wedding guests chattering nearby, a headset crackle, a distant sizzle from a griddle. non_diegetic_music: A single plucked cello note, then silence.

Settings: MiniMax H3 Max text-to-video, 9:16, 5s, 480P, prompt expansion disabled

Reaction close-ups make up most of a comedy edit. H3 Max at 480P keeps them cheap. The one-note music cue works like a rimshot.

Food truck vs. planner: the first argument

ComedyOver-the-shoulder

integrated_multimodal_description: [Shot 1] Live-action, cinematic, a vertical over-the-shoulder shot from behind a 26-year-old woman with a headset and a color-coded clipboard, standing outside a battered food truck at a garden wedding; her shoulder and headset fill the right foreground. In the truck window, a 27-year-old man with curly hair and a mustard-stained apron leans out, grinning. The camera holds a static shot. The woman with a fast, clipped, exasperated voice (S1) says: <d>[English] You're the caterer?</d> The man shrugs. The man with a warm, easygoing voice (S2) says: <d>[English] I'm catering-adjacent.</d> overall_soundscape: A griddle sizzling, wedding guests chatting, a bee buzzing past, a string quartet warming up somewhere. non_diegetic_music: A bouncy pizzicato string line at a quick tempo.

Settings: MiniMax H3 text-to-video, 9:16, 8s, 768P (regenerate keepers to 2K), native audio, prompt expansion disabled if your provider offers it

Keep the punchline shorter than the setup so the joke can land. Opposite voice notes do half the character work before anyone moves.

The wedding cake run (full beat)

ComedyTracking

integrated_multimodal_description: [Shot 1] Live-action, cinematic, a vertical tracking shot in front of a 27-year-old man with curly hair and a mustard-stained apron as he hurries across a garden wedding lawn carrying a wobbling three-tier white cake. The camera tracks backward ahead of him at fast speed. [Shot 2] At 00:04.000, the camera cuts to a medium shot of a 26-year-old woman with a headset and a color-coded clipboard, sprinting after him and waving the clipboard. The woman with a fast, clipped, exasperated voice (S1) shouts: <d>[English] Benny, not across the grass!</d> [Shot 3] At 00:08.000, the camera cuts to a wide shot as his foot catches a sprinkler; he stumbles and spins but keeps the cake upright as the sprinkler soaks the front row of guests. [Shot 4] At 00:12.000, the camera cuts to a close-up of the man, dripping wet, holding the perfect cake. The man with a warm, easygoing voice (S2) says: <d>[English] Nailed it.</d> overall_soundscape: Fast footsteps on grass, the cake board creaking, a sprinkler hissing on, guests shrieking and laughing. non_diegetic_music: An upbeat brass and snare march at a fast tempo that stops dead on the final line.

Settings: MiniMax H3 text-to-video, 9:16, 15s, 768P then 2K regeneration, native audio, prompt expansion disabled if your provider offers it

Four quick cuts in 15 seconds give the gag comedy pacing. Keeping the cake in every shot helps H3 hold continuity. A two-word last line lets the music stop dead.
