Video taking off 25x its usual first day

Cadel's wig upstages Cadel and Mia's own behind-the-scenes reveal

The couple's look at how their quick-cut clips get filmed led a Sunday of eight fast uploads, though the comments mostly want to talk about the last few seconds.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 5,553,748 views a day, 25 times a normal first day on this channel (222,745).

CAMERA MAN EXPOSED! 😳 BEHIND THE SCENES 🎥CAMERA MAN EXPOSED! 😳 BEHIND THE SCENES 🎥

A video titled "CAMERA MAN EXPOSED! 😳 BEHIND THE SCENES 🎥" promises the one thing a channel like this usually hides: how the trick shots get made. Fifteen hours after it went up, it had passed four million views. A new Cadel and Mia upload usually ends its whole first day at around 200,000.

The viewers who talk about the filming itself single out the transitions. One calls them the smoothest they have ever seen, and another jokes that the people behind the camera must move at light speed.

Most of the comment section, though, is about the ending, where Cadel turns up in a wig. Nobody quite agrees on what kind: one viewer calls it rainbow, another calls it bacon, and someone wonders whether he runs a secret wig business on the side. A behind-the-scenes video meant to explain the magic has ended up with its own running joke.

It was not the couple's only busy upload that Sunday. Seven other new videos ran far ahead of the usual. The closest was a short about things people did as kids, an idea the title credits to fellow creator SpeedMcQueen. Behind it came a blooper reel, a joke about never letting Mia drive again and a short called "DON'T LOOK IN THE COMMENTS!"

New subscribers kept arriving too, about 400,000 over the past seven days. The channel's about page sets the goal at 50 million, and the couple call every one of them a family member.
