The Anti-Archetype Impression
A dead-straight parody of the cringey guru in your niche that doubles as proof you're the trustworthy opposite.
@therapy.with.blake120KThe recipe
- Open in full character: Launch straight into the cringey archetype with their most over-the-top claim, no setup and no wink.
- Pile on the nonsense: Stack impressive-sounding claims that barely connect, so the word salad quietly exposes how these people talk without saying anything real.
- Never break: Play it completely straight the whole way through, because the second you signal you're joking, it falls apart.
- Land the anti-position: Let the parody itself say you're the trustworthy opposite, or close by promising you will never sell like that.
Your Studio follows these beats when it writes your script.
“I'm your favorite the archetype you parody, and their over-the-top claim.”
Your take: the archetype you parody played so straight the parody becomes the proof you're the opposite.

Why it worked
He plays the get-rich-quick guru to the hilt, so the right audience is in on the joke the second he opens in character. The genius is that he delivers it like he's making it up as he goes, and the claims barely connect, which is the critique: it shows how grifters fire impressive stats at you without saying anything real. He never winks, and that full commitment is what makes it land and signals he's the trustworthy opposite.
Examples
A health coach for everyday people
“I got these abs in twelve minutes a day, no diet, no effort.”
He plays the shredded transformation bro, piling on impossible claims that contradict each other, then reframes the whole bit as a stand against an industry built on lies.
A business coach for course creators
“I made a million dollars while I slept last night.”
She plays the six-figures-in-six-weeks guru, rattling off fake student wins that never quite add up, then reframes the bit as a promise she will never sell to you like that.
