Video taking off 15x its usual first day

Rudy Ayoub puts Trump, Satan and a stick on the ballot

His election sketch turns an undecided voter's choice into a game show, complete with a host who has a preferred answer.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 1,441,542 views a day, 15 times a normal first day on this channel (97,648).

Rudy Ayoub plays almost everyone involved: the smiling host, the uneasy voter, a blond-wigged Donald Trump and a horned Satan who would rather not be called Lucy. The remaining candidate is a wooden stick behind a podium.

That is the ballot in "How it feels voting in the USA," a satirical sketch that passed a million views within 13 hours. Its start is far beyond the usual audience for Ayoub's Shorts, and the comments have already exceeded his normal first-day total several times over.

The voter initially finds the stick an easy choice. Getting that choice accepted is another matter. Ayoub's Trump impersonation insists that being president means he can do what he wants; Satan offers the voter everything he desires. Meanwhile, the host stops behaving like a neutral presenter and starts pushing his own recommendation. The apparently simplest option becomes the setup for the final joke.

It is a different predicament from the presidential vampire encounter in "Trump vs Vampire": here, the supernatural character gets to campaign for himself. Another recent Ayoub upload, "How to avoid a scammer," has also crossed a million views.
