Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

ISMO | The Animal Hierarchy

"ISMO | The Animal Hierarchy" is a month old now, and it is still the clip doing the heavy lifting on the channel of ISMO, the Finnish comedian who calls himself the voice of second-language English speakers. It has passed two million views and keeps drawing a steady crowd every day, far more than anything newer.

The new material came in three pieces. "The Gap" turned into a two-parter: Part 1 went up eight days ago and Part 2 followed on October 1, the same day as "The Struggle Every Guy Knows." That one is the most watched of the week's uploads, with a description that simply promises men will get it instantly. They did, judging by the comments, which mostly trade knowing jokes about mornings and a partner who slept through the night. Not everyone was sold, though: a few viewers say this kind of topic is not quite their favorite ISMO territory.

The newest, "Ants in the Pants," arrived on Tuesday and started faster than either of them, with more than 7,000 views in its first seven hours.

Overall the channel ran right at its usual pace and added about 3,000 subscribers. Among stand-up channels close to its size it sits in the middle of the pack, sixth of nine, while Mario Adrion and Denny Love are having the big weeks. Meanwhile the man himself is on the road in California, with Burbank and Hermosa Beach on back-to-back nights and Tempe next on his list.
