Ways to give negative feedback
Go on the defensive
Person A has riot gear (Puffer jacket where Kevlar is not available), riot helmet, riot shield and a litter grabber holding a page of writing covered in red highlighting, which they pass to Person B then cower behind the shield.
Distract with a party
When person B walks into a room, confetti falls from the ceiling, persons A and C (and maybe D, E, etc.) leap out from behind a couch in cheesy cone party hats and party horns (Those things unfurl as you blow in them then make a noise. I never realized they actually had a name until I was 27 years old) then and a banner on the wall behind them unfurls that reads “You’re Mediocre!”
Go on the offensive
Person A boots Person B in the crotch. When they bend over in pain, they see the page of writing full of red highlighting on the floor, pick it up and straighten up. When they turn to speak to Person A, Person A punches them right in the face, making them fall over backwards, still clutching the page.
Say it with cake
Person A hands Person B a cake box, which Person B opens. The cake has fancy icing, with a big D- in the middle.
Say it with burrito
Person A hands Person B a burrito wrapped in the red highlighted page of text. Person B is happy. (thumbs up?)
Practice in a mirror
Person A is holding the red highlighted page up to a mirror, gesticulating
That is actually two-way glass
Person B is stood on the other side of a window, arms folded, watching as Person A makes the gestures they were making above.
Magic
Person A (wearing eveningwear, top hat and cape?) offers Person B the choice of a card, any card. Person B chooses one, looks at it, then replaces it in the deck. Person A, holding the deck of cards, points past person B, who turns to look. Person A then throws the pack of cards into the air behind/above themselves. Person B looks back and is surprised by Person A’s empty hands, completely ignoring any cards still fluttering around. Person A points at Person B’s shirt pocket, and Person B pulls out and unfolds the folded up page of red highlighting from that pocket, then looks up to where Person A was stood, but Person A has vanished.
Wonkavision
Person B is watching a LRRcast on TV in which Person A is participating. Person A gets up from the desk, walks right up the camera, points at Person B and does a thumbs down, blowing a raspberry, while the rest of the LRRcast continues as though Person A had not moved.
Hire ninjas
The shot is chest and above, Person B walks into a room. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Person B is holding the page full of red highlighting. The camera angle broadens vertically (for which I do not know the technical term) to reveal that they also now have a katana stabbed through their stomach. They fall over.
The Sam Raimi
A pointing hand fills about half the screen, the camera runs up to Person B on a couch holding a console controller, and the hand does a thumbs-down. The person on the couch pulls a full-on grumpy face.
Thoughts? Feelings? Excisions/Additions? Cake? I am well prepared for feedback on this one
