Wrong
Glass.

Sandro Ford has a very specific grievance: he orders a pilsner and they bring it in the wrong glass. The merch had to be the joke.

§ 02 — Approach Close enough to feel off.
Pub-glassware uncanny valley
The object performs the show

The glass performs the show.

The brief writes itself once you understand the joke. Something that sits in the uncanny valley of pub glassware — close enough to feel off.

The glass doesn't explain the show. It performs it.
