Video taking off 30x its usual first day

Glasses off again, and Mia mistakes a crocodile for something harmless

Cadel and Mia's running glasses gag has a reptile at the end of it, and the comments mostly want to know how Mia keeps falling for it.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 8,165,898 views a day, 30 times a normal first day on this channel (275,295).

Never taking my glasses off again… 🐊💀😳 Mia hasn’t learnt her lesson yet…Never taking my glasses off again… 🐊💀😳 Mia hasn’t learnt her lesson yet…

"Mia hasn't learnt her lesson yet," the title warns, and anyone who has watched Cadel and Mia's recent Shorts knows which lesson that is. The glasses come off, and things go wrong. In this one the crocodile emoji gives away the punchline before the video even starts, though the comment section never quite agrees whether it is a crocodile or an alligator.

Viewers describe Mia picking the creature up without a second thought, handling it like a pillow and then tossing it aside. The most liked comment simply asks how she still hasn't learned. Plenty of others talk to her like an exasperated friend, telling her to keep the glasses on for good. A few admit they guessed the reveal the moment they read the title. One viewer was puzzled by what the couple were doing until they remembered the earlier Shorts in the series, which shows how firmly the gag has settled in. Another spotted a bird crossing the background and joked that it must be a paid actor.

A Cadel and Mia Short usually ends its first day with under 300,000 views. This one passed six million in about 15 hours. It was not the couple's only quick starter: "THIS WASN'T EASY TO FILM," a dance Short posted the same day, also ran far past usual. So did another round of the "WE NEED TO KNOW!" series and "He's my biggest fan I guess…". Of the lot, though, it is the glasses joke, a bit the couple keep coming back to, that viewers raced to the most.
