When I'm bored, I go into an elevator with a full duffle bag. Once people come in and the door closes, I zip open the bag a little bit and whisper to it, "I'll get you some food once we get off."
The Duffle Bag in the Elevator

Explanation
Experiment
The humor comes from the unexpected and slightly disturbing scenario the person creates in the elevator. The idea of someone whispering to a bag as if it's a living thing, and promising it food, plays on the absurdity and makes others wonder what's inside the bag. It's a weird and uncomfortable situation to be in, hence the humor.
