GUESS THE PERSON 😂😅#Shorts
Babysitting credentials are an unusual place to start when the person on your forehead is Vladimir Putin. In Merloys' most-watched new upload, a player asks whether his mystery figure could look after his children, then whether he would be safe alone with him in a dark room.
"GUESS THE PERSON 😂😅#Shorts" turns the headband guessing game into an increasingly tangled search. Learning that he is a politician doesn't settle much: the player asks about American party affiliations and even wonders whether he is the FBI director. The useful intervention comes near the end: "Think outside the United States."
Merloys edits moments from the Stiff Socks Podcast rather than making the original show. Four new Shorts arrived this week, including "Rich, famous and definitely not American 🤔 #Shorts" and "GUESSING THE RIZZLER 😂😅#Shorts", but the Putin guessing game drew by far the largest audience. It has reached roughly 471,000 views and is also the channel's busiest upload right now.
Across the library, daily viewing is comfortably above its usual level, while subscriber growth remains modest: a thousand subscribers joined over the week. Among nearby comedy channels, PovGirl8995 had a larger weekly view gain, while SML Anthony had a much quieter week.
The older "She'd be a great president 🇺🇸😂#shorts" continues gathering views too. Merloys' presidential guessing streak hasn't disappeared; this week's player simply needed to widen the map.
