Toughest Rat 🤣 #funnyjoke #LouAngelwolf

Mike and Joelle promise a brand new joke every single day, and the one that carried the week was about a rat. "Toughest Rat" went up last Sunday, drew more than 400,000 views on its first day and has since passed 1.2 million. The joke builds through a line of rats, each claiming to be tougher than the last, and the comments keep crowning the third one. Many of them are also about Joelle, whose reaction gets almost as much attention as the punchline.

The rest of the week ran on the couple's usual mix of marriage comedy. Mike embarrassed his wife loudly in public, wrote a song he hopes no husband can relate to, and posted a short pointing viewers to Joelle's reaction to a botched vasectomy story from the stand-up comedian Liz Miele. The newest upload asks viewers to settle a question the couple say left them both confused after they talked it over, and in its first seventeen hours it was already moving faster than anything else on the channel.

The channel as a whole ran slower than its usual pace, at a bit over a million views a day against a typical two million, and the subscriber count held steady. Among comedy channels of similar size, that was still the fourth biggest week. dinocornel and INAFISH had the busiest weeks in the group, and Toby Stubbs had the quietest.
