A gesture that gives the joke room to breathe

They observe and react, then let the characters do the rest. Each expression holds until the next selected moment; bases and objects stay in place.

A clear intention
The look or gesture responds to a specific contradiction, with enough time for the viewer to read it.
Personality without noise
They do not speak or resolve the conflict. An eyebrow, a tilt, or the cuckoo's appearance is enough.
