Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

What did you think?

History needs more paper. In bill wurtz's "hi", Shelby is writing down everything that has ever happened on a single sheet, which prompts an awkward question: "Did you write down yourself writing it down?"

That little recursive puzzle gives the week's only upload a connection to his best-known work. Viewers are making the link to "history of the entire world, i guess", though here the historical undertaking is a household activity rather than the whole premise. Others are proposing a sitcom, or debating whether this is a music video with scenes or a sketch with songs. The characters' habit of suddenly breaking into miniature musical numbers supplies plenty of evidence for either reading.

There are errands, too: the green figure takes a mixtape downtown, while two visitors arrive to double the house's roof. An unwelcome infinity bus interrupts the routine. Down in the basement, Shelby's banjo opens up another colorful musical detour. Normal suburban life has fairly elastic boundaries here.

"hi" has reached roughly 2.8 million views since Tuesday and accounts for by far the most daily viewing among the highlighted uploads. "in the future" and "nametags, for nameless people" continue drawing smaller audiences behind it.

The channel gained 30,000 subscribers over the week, matching Ren's weekly increase among the nearby music channels. For bill wurtz, that also accounts for the entire net subscriber gain over the past month: a concentrated burst of growth accompanying a very small greeting.

This sits perfectly in the middle between being a weird music video and a weird video that has music

There's an extra layer of humor to having characters suddenly break out into little bill wurtz songs and then stop in a bill wurtz video.

Like some kind of history of the world, I guess?

I need a full bill wurtz sitcom. This is a full bill wurtz sitcom. How profound.

The scene where the infinity bus shows up the first time might be the most emotion I've heard in Bill's voice when not singing.

I don't know what else I was expecting from "the roof doublers" but the visual of the doubled roof with that sound effect got me good
