Video taking off 9.8x its usual first day

JJEverettRose's fake sick day requires a sudden love of maths

His school-skipping sketch has viewers recalling the parental suggestion that ruins a carefully performed illness.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 486,370 views a day, 9.8 times a normal first day on this channel (49,650).

Such A Hard Decision...Such A Hard Decision...
What did you think?

"I love maths. I love maths so much." JJEverettRose's uniformed student sounds desperate to make it to class, which is precisely the performance he's putting on.

In "Such A Hard Decision...", the comedian plays a pupil pretending to be ill while Mum, voiced off-camera by the creator, offers him a choice: school or home. Simply accepting the day off would apparently look too eager. Instead, he rubs his face, considers his timetable and expresses concern about infecting his friends.

The Short drew about 326,000 views in half a day, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. It follows his chewing-gum classroom sketch, but this time the negotiation happens before the pupil even reaches school.

Viewers keep returning to Mum's suggestion that he go in and see how he feels. Several recognise it from their own mornings; another recalls the parental rule that being well enough for games means being well enough for school.

That suggestion also exposes the student's priorities. Faced with actually attending those supposedly beloved maths lessons, he produces a hurried cough and suddenly finds the decision much easier.
