“Those White Armpits 😳” - A Masterclass in the Hook Trifecta
The $12 viral deodorant
This viral video is the perfect example of the Hook Trifecta in action - and here’s how you can steal the exact formula:

🔥 Why This Hook Works
Visual Hook: A woman walks into the gym - camera starts at her feet, pans up to another woman mid-workout. Instant intrigue. Take note of this movement, its a very common viral intro. Super subtle, and only lasts 1 second. Note the above screenshot of the video at the start vs. 1 second:
Text Hook: “Esas axilas blancas 😳” → “Those white armpits 😳”
Weird, specific, and emotion-driven.
Curiosity level: maxed out.
Verbal Hook: “Disculpen la molestia, pero desde lejos le estaba mirando las axilas…” → “Sorry to bother you, but I was looking at your armpits from afar…”
Bold and awkward in the best way. You’re pulled right into the convo.
Why it works: Each element hits a different curiosity trigger—and together they create a scroll-stopping force.
🛠 Steal This Framework
Start with motion (walk, pan, or movement to create energy)
On-screen text that makes viewers say “Wait, what?”
Start dialogue mid-scene with a bold, emotional statement
Casually reveal the product after interest is built
Bottom line: Don’t lead with the product - lead with curiosity. The Hook Trifecta gives you three chances to grab attention… and convert. Scroll to the bottom for the full video!
