Which butter robot meme format ages better, the existential crisis one or the deadpan loop one?

I ran the classic 'What is my purpose' text over a slow zoom for 3 days straight and the reaction was split down the middle, half the comments said the minimalist version hits harder while the other half swore the rapid cut between 5 different butter robot scenes lands the joke better, so which editing style actually wins when you're trying to stretch the joke past a 10 second watch?

My buddy Mike tried the exact same thing last year but with a different edit every day for a week. He posted the slow zoom version on Tuesday and the rapid cut version on Friday, same caption, same length. By Sunday he had like 40 comments on the slow one and maybe 12 on the rapid one, but the rapid one got shared way more in group chats. He still can't decide which one actually works better, so he just does both now and lets the algorithm figure it out. Maybe the real answer is you need a third option that does both at the same time, but that would probably just confuse people.
