Taco fries for your wedding

ComedyMedium

Medium shot at a food truck window on a sunny street. Benny, a 27-year-old food-truck owner with curly hair and a mustard-stained apron, leans out holding a paper boat of fries in each hand. Priya, a 26-year-old wedding planner with a headset and a color-coded clipboard, stands below, unimpressed. Shot 1: Benny says in English {Taco fries. For your wedding. Trust me.} Shot 2: Priya looks at him, then at the fries, then writes something on her clipboard without breaking eye contact. Shot 3: Benny's grin slowly collapses. Bright sitcom lighting, saturated colors. Sound: <street noise>, <fryer sizzle>, <pen scratching>. Exactly two people. No subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.0, text-to-video, 9:16, 10s, 720p, audio on

Comedy on Seedance lives in the cut between shots. Each beat gets its own number. The joke sits in the reaction, not the line.

The wedding cake almost falls

ComedyWide

Wide shot of an outdoor garden wedding reception under string lights. Priya, a 26-year-old wedding planner with a headset and a color-coded clipboard; and Benny, a 27-year-old food-truck owner with curly hair and a mustard-stained apron. Guests at round tables stay in the background. 0–4s: Benny pushes a towering five-tier cake on a wobbly cart across the lawn. Priya walks backward ahead of him, guiding him with both hands. 4–8s: A cart wheel hits a sprinkler head and the cake leans. 8–12s: Both freeze with their arms out, holding the cake upright at an impossible angle. Nobody breathes. 12–16s: The sprinklers switch on and soak them both. The cake survives. 16–20s: Medium shot. Priya, dripping, says into her headset in English {Cake is... on schedule.} Benny gives a thumbs-up behind her. Warm evening light, playful sitcom framing. Sound: <cart rattle>, <guests gasping>, (bouncy pizzicato strings from 12s). No subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.5, text-to-video, 9:16, 20s, 720p, audio on

Physical comedy needs room. 2.5's timestamps let the freeze last a full four seconds. The sprinkler hiss is left out because water sounds can come out bubbly, so add it in the mix.

One crooked sticky tab

ComedyInsert

Insert close-up of a clipboard held in a woman's hands, covered in rows of colored sticky tabs in perfect order. A man's greasy thumb presses a single mustard-yellow tab onto the page, crooked. After a beat, her finger slowly straightens it. Locked camera, bright daylight, shallow depth of field. Sound: <sticky tab peeling>, <a long exhale>. No readable text, no subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.0 Mini, text-to-video, 9:16, 5s, 720p, audio on

This tiny prop gag fits into any episode. Hands-only close-ups on Mini are your cheapest laugh.

Chasing his own food truck

ComedyTracking

Tracking shot running alongside Benny, a 27-year-old food-truck owner with curly hair and a mustard-stained apron, as he sprints downhill after his own food truck, which is rolling away with nobody inside. His apron flaps and he's still holding a spatula. Shot 1: Side tracking shot matching his speed. Shot 2: Shot from in front of him, the runaway truck behind him, his face pure panic. He shouts in English {Not again!} Bright suburban street, comic energy. Sound: <sneakers slapping pavement>, <truck rattling>, <a car horn>. No subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.0 Fast, text-to-video, 9:16, 8s, 720p, audio on

The Fast version handles big physical comedy well. Two short shots give you a setup and a payoff. One shouted line is easier to lip sync than a sentence at a sprint.

Why am I at the kids' table?

ComedyOver-the-shoulder

A wedding venue table covered in place cards. Priya, a 26-year-old wedding planner with a headset and a color-coded clipboard; and Benny, a 27-year-old food-truck owner with curly hair and a mustard-stained apron. Exactly two people. Shot 1: Over-the-shoulder from behind Priya. Benny faces her, holding up one card. He says in English {Why is my name at the kids' table?} Shot 2: Reverse over-the-shoulder from behind Benny. Priya doesn't look up from her clipboard. She says in English {Because the kids asked for you.} Warm venue lighting, soft afternoon sun. Sound: <cards shuffling>, <distant kids laughing>. No readable text on the cards, no subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.0, text-to-video, 9:16, 8s, 720p, audio on

Classic back-and-forth coverage: one line each, one shot each. Unreadable place cards mean no garbled names on screen.
