Throwing away twine was the final straw for Francis Johnson. #DrunkHistory
Francis Johnson's refusal to waste twine has supplied Comedy Central with another way into its unusually string-heavy Drunk History story. "Throwing away twine was the final straw for Francis Johnson. #DrunkHistory" was the most watched new upload, drawing roughly 29,000 views.
The comments offer a little cast-recognition game: viewers single out "Weird Al" Yankovic's appearance, recognize Colin Hanks and pick up on the music. The longer companion, "The Biggest Ball of Twine (w/ Patton Oswalt) - Drunk History," features Hanks, Seth Green, Steve Agee and Yankovic in the Minnesota-Kansas tale. Posted just before this week's window, it has reached about three-quarters of a million views and remains the channel's most active upload.
Elsewhere, the week reads like a quick tour of Comedy Central's different comic temperaments: Broad City's home-life humor, Reno 911's mockumentary policing, Detroiters and two Beavis and Butt-Head clips. The latter's "You're not going anywhere." is already drawing daily views at almost the same pace as the longer twine episode, though it has only just arrived.
The subscriber count held steady, while daily viewing across the channel ran comfortably above its usual pace. Adult Swim also had an above-usual viewing day in this television neighborhood; Dropout was quieter than its norm. For Comedy Central, the useful contrast is within its own catalog: a patient story about accumulating string sharing momentum with two cartoon characters who would much rather turn on the television.
