Will Rob Beckett's secret talent come in handy in the #Traitors castle?! #8OutOf10Cats

Sean Lock's laugh is getting almost as much attention as Rob Beckett's unusual party trick. Under "Will Rob Beckett's secret talent come in handy in the #Traitors castle?! #8OutOf10Cats," viewers are discussing peeling a banana with your feet, and the particular pleasure of seeing Lock dissolve into laughter.

That clip is the most watched of 8 Out of 10 Cats' new uploads this week, with about 213,000 views. Several commenters focus on Lock's wordless reaction; another is considering graduating from picking up socks with their toes to attempting the banana trick. It is a wonderfully specific audience conversation for a show built around opinion polls and statistics.

The week's ten uploads also include "Claudia Winkleman is Comedy Gold | 8 Out of 10 Cats," collecting the Traitors host's panel-show appearances, and "The Funniest Cats Rants and Raves (2.5 Hours) | 8 Out Of 10 Cats." There is room for both a quick joke and a substantial evening on the couch.

The newest Jedward-and-Barack-Obama clip currently has the strongest daily momentum among the highlighted uploads. James Acaster's objection to secrets, posted earlier this month, remains active too.

Across the channel, daily viewing is above its usual pace, and the subscriber count grew by about 2,000 over the week. Cats also drew the largest weekly view total in this nearby talk-show group, despite having the smallest subscriber count. The archive is doing considerably more than keeping the seat warm.
