3 Strikes

As a comedy, '3 Strikes' primarily aims to elicit Humor and Joy through its farcical premise of a man trying to go straight but constantly being drawn into absurd, high-stakes trouble. Happiness and Relief are key as the protagonist navigates his predicament and attempts to clear his name. While the plot involves being a wanted man, the resulting situations generate Anticipation and mild Anxiety, which are consistently played for comedic effect rather than genuine suspense. Surprise arises from the unexpected twists in his misadventures, and Empathy for his unfortunate, yet often self-inflicted, circumstances.
