Why it works
The product is visible at frame 0 and the premise is named by shot 3, so the viewer understands the gift before the scenes turn strange. The 2-frame zoom into shot 16 and 6-frame zoom into shot 19 speed up the placement montage; the larger variant in shot 25 refreshes the gag. Shot 32 then holds the product tableau for 143 frames with an original musical close.
