Dan Woolley sends Ronaldo and Messi to the toy-fishing table
Football allegiances turn a guessing game into a noisy contest, with nearly two million views added since yesterday.
Why this story? One of the most watched videos since yesterday, with 1,986,899 views.
Pick The Biggest Fish 🐠
Portugal and Argentina flags sit above the scoreboard, but the equipment is rather less glamorous than football boots: a collection of toy fish. Dan Woolley's "Pick The Biggest Fish 🐠" has two players backing Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, then pulling fish to discover how many points they have caught.
The Ronaldo side starts small. Messi's representative lands a much longer fish and celebrates his chosen footballer, before the lead changes hands as the catches keep coming. The joke is how much footballing pride they invest in something neither star has any control over.
It's familiar territory for Woolley: an earlier fish-picking Short is his most-watched Short, alongside timer tic-tac-toe and football drafts. Here, viewers keep returning to a decision to swap fish, discussing whether leaving the original choices alone would have changed the result.
