"Alright, so another cool move that you can do that you see a lot in like 3 Stooges movies, old 3 Stooges movies is the eye poke, where you go and you poke someone in the eye. So in this situation I'm going to be poking Audrey in the eye and I'm going to show you how to do that. So, again like we always do, we're going to establish distance just like this, eye contact. Now when I go to poke Audrey in the eye, I'm going to take my two fingers just like I would usually go if I were really doing it, except I'm going to really lean back come over the top and I'm going to land right on her forehead far away from her eyes and I'm coming down from the top as oppose to coming in where I can actually hit her eye. So again establish distance, eye contact, take you arm way back, come off and then press off and then Audrey is doing the acting and reacting to getting poked in the eye. So that's getting poked in the eye. Let's do it one more time a little bit faster. So eye contact, lean back and awww and that's getting poked in the eye."
