New York Is Pretty Scary

New York is pretty scary right now... But look at what I just saw. DANCING IS HAPPINESS THANK YOU

A masked woman in a New York subway says the city feels scary, then reveals a cheerful street saxophonist surrounded by dozens of dancing teddy bears and other plush toys. The punchline is the absurdly wholesome contrast: amid urban fear and chaos, she discovers an unexpected underground bear dance party set to lively saxophone music. It works as a reaction to finding joy or bizarre positivity in an intimidating situation.
