Why it works
A visible failed action and two-line question establish the problem before 3 s. One uninterrupted 724-frame shot then travels to three embedded miniature workplaces and returns to the outlet; the speech pause after 14.1 s gives the visual joke room before the reaction around 19.7 s. The absence of cuts makes the impossible interior feel connected to the real prop.
