Video taking off 21x its usual first day

Who handed James the candy? A lucky Jasmin and James short passes two million

Several shorts went up on September 30 under one title, and this is the one that ran far ahead of the rest, with viewers spotting costumed guests.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 2,315,846 views a day, 21 times a normal first day on this channel (108,456).

Who is the person in the mask handing James the candy? That question sits in the comments under the newest Jasmin and James short to take off, and in about twenty hours more than two million people had the chance to wonder.

The couple posted several shorts on September 30, all under the same title, "SUBSCRIBE FOR 7 YEARS OF GOOD LUCK! 🍀😅 - #dance #funny #couple #shorts". It flips the old broken-mirror superstition into a sign-off. Most of those shorts did what a new upload here usually does and settled in the low hundreds of thousands. This one pulled away, running at around twenty times the channel's usual first day.

The title gives little away beyond its hashtags for dance, comedy and a couple, so the comments fill in the picture. Many of them are about who is in costume. One viewer is sure Huggy Wuggy turns up, another says they found Lotso, the strawberry-scented bear from Toy Story 3, and someone else wonders who is hiding inside an alien suit. A few just ask for the results and a look behind the scenes.

The whole channel is running well above its usual daily pace. Among the couples and family channels, Cadel and Mia are also having a busy stretch. As we reported here a few days ago, fifteen uploads led by "Dumb and dumber… 🧠" carried the channel's week. This time a single clip, one of several sharing a title, is doing most of the work.
