The Authoritative Decree

Narrative framework logic

A 'Point of View' (POV) sketch where a character in a position of power delivers a series of increasingly absurd and comically specific mandates to an unseen party over the phone. The humor derives from the contrast between the character's serious tone and the ridiculousness of the demands, which play on insider knowledge of the topic.
