The premise

Here’s the bit.

Carroll waits for Bob before they catch up and summon a waiter. The waiter’s menu answer brings a complaint about his manner, and the manager joins the already crowded shot to apologize. A talking sandwich named Frank then appears and slips into the same casual small talk. With each arrival, ordinary restaurant conversation becomes stranger through exaggerated voices, fixed expressions and an expanding cluster of faces. Frank eventually returns the conversation to the odd menu, prompting everyone to laugh together.
