Viral Video: There’s this comic video that’s been circulating on the internet about light-hearted domestic strife between a husband and a wife. Captured in it was the humor that lay in the playful banter between them. Shared on Instagram by @anaskhan6743, the video presents an instant take on marital interaction in a captured view scripted but easily relatable.
Wife’s Dramatic Call to Mom
The clip is of a wife conversing with her mother over the phone, to whom she is complaining about a quarrel she had with her husband. She says the quarrel began when her husband adamantly refused to cook for her, which dramatically escalated in a series of actions up to the point where she claims he went to find a lawyer to write a divorce letter for him. It sounds very serious because the wife was frustrated and in a mixed state of anger and disbelief.
Relatable Marital Banter
Just as the wife is explaining how serious everything is, the husband comes in. Immediately she asks for news from the lawyer. His reply while serious-faced—”He said I am washing clothes. I’ll be back in an hour”— turns instantly humorous as the situation is ridiculous. She, who was fuming a moment ago, cannot stop laughing at the unexpected turn, which drives home how silly their little fight actually was.
This in itself is a conceptualized video dramatizing light-hearted humor and battling, or rejoinders, between two people sharing a marital relationship. It shows perfectly how couples turn trivial disagreements into dramatic scenarios with a comic undertone. The reason this video went viral was because it universally depicted how couples use humor to diffuse tension and get closer to one another during a fight, no matter how serious it might seem.
