Video taking off 35x its usual first day

A clover, a couple and a hidden lock: Jasmin and James's seven-years-of-good-luck short

The couple posted the same title on a string of shorts in one day, and one copy left the others far behind while viewers hunted for what they had missed.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 4,254,969 views a day, 35 times a normal first day on this channel (121,796).

Same title, different fate. On October 4, Jasmin and James posted a run of shorts under one good-luck line, each with a clover emoji and dance, funny and couple tags. The joke turns the old superstition on its head: instead of the seven years of bad luck a broken mirror is said to bring, the title promises seven good ones.

Most of those copies settled near the couple's usual first day of around 120,000 views. One did not. It passed 2.6 million views in its first ten hours.

It was not alone in running ahead. A second copy of the same short also did several times its usual business, and so did "Never taking my glasses off again 🐍💀", which carries on the glasses gag the couple had been playing with a few days earlier, as we reported here.

What actually happens in the clip is harder to pin down, and the comments suggest some viewers feel the same. Several write that they are still confused, one of them in Japanese. For a video this widely watched, the comment section is small, with fewer than a hundred so far.

One viewer has a tip for the puzzled: pause at exactly the right moment, and two arrows appear, pointing at a lock and an iPhone 17.
