#34: Trouble in Group Therapy
This one’s fantastic—matryoshka dolls lined up on a therapist’s couch. The therapist says, “Everyone opened up today except for you, Sofia.” And poor Sofia snaps back, “I told you, I can’t!” It’s a perfect pun, because literally she’s sealed shut.

The brilliance is how it mirrors real therapy language—“open up,” “share,” “be vulnerable”—but here it’s taken literally. The dolls that can separate did, while Sofia, the solid one, physically can’t. It’s wordplay and character humor rolled into one, and it lands with a satisfying mix of silly and sharp.
