Video taking off 5.8x its usual first day

al jokes makes "DIY it yourself" a grammatical breaking point

A compliment about a chair spirals into acronym sarcasm, and viewers are supplying their own redundant phrases.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 1,481,758 views a day, 5.8 times a normal first day on this channel (256,729).

The chair gets a compliment. Its maker replies, "Thanks bro, I DIY'd it myself." For the other character in al jokes' sketch, that extra "myself" is enough to derail the conversation.

Playing both sides, the comedian turns a small verbal irritation into an increasingly unreasonable argument. One character sarcastically announces plans to visit an "ATM machine" and enter his "PIN number," then explains why repeating the words already inside an abbreviation makes no sense. The other seems considerably less troubled by the problem.

The Short, titled "people who say "DIY it yourself" #shorts #comedy #funny", passed a million views in twelve hours, well ahead of the channel's usual Shorts start. Its comment section was already more than three times as busy as a typical full first day.

Viewers have made the replies an extension of the sketch, adding redundant references to morning times, baseball and doing things as soon as possible. Others point to the contrast between the carefully constructed argument and the frustrated yell it eventually produces. On al jokes, knowing exactly why a phrase is wrong offers no protection against hearing another one.
