Eggdar's Despicable Me 4 gas-price joke fills up on day one
A single clip from Illumination's 2024 sequel started at more than twenty times the usual first-day pace on a meme channel that already draws millions of views a day.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 2,804,694 views a day, 21 times a normal first day on this channel (131,316).
Even a Billionaire Wasn’t Ready for These Gas Prices 😂 | Despicable Me 4 (2024)
What does it take for a Despicable Me 4 clip to stand out on a channel that runs on movie clips? Apparently a billionaire who flinches at the pump. "Even a Billionaire Wasn't Ready for These Gas Prices 😂 | Despicable Me 4 (2024)" went past two million views within a day of going up.
Eggdar is an odd shape for a channel. Its subscriber count is modest, yet its catalog has piled up nearly 8 billion views, and even a typical new upload has a first day most channels would envy. This one opened at more than twenty times that usual start. Viewers were also far quicker to like it than to comment on it.
Eggdar is a clips channel. Its about page promises overlooked movie details and trivia delivered with meme-style captions and a little sarcasm, so the film is not its own. The scene comes from the fourth Despicable Me film, the 2024 Illumination sequel with Steve Carell back as the voice of Gru. The title supplies the joke: a very rich man finding that even he has limits at the gas station.
