Being eleventh and twelfth in line leaves plenty of time to get acquainted. Outside Toronto Eaton Centre, Martin and Hamzah discover an honor-system queue, settle into their camping chairs and turn waiting for the iPhone Duo into a surprisingly sociable night out.
The phone is the reason for coming; the other campers give "We lined up for the iPhone Duo" much of its character. Leon heads off for food and asks whether anyone needs anything. People swap memories of older iPhone launches and Yeezy drops. Martin brings up his Apple Polishing Cloth review, then later Hamzah supplies a jump-and-roll stunt to interrupt the waiting. "Feels like I'm at home, kind of," Martin says.
That temporary friend group is also what viewers keep discussing. Several compare the gathering to a school trip or the first semester of college, while others focus on Martin finding people who share his enthusiasm. The camping preparations have prompted a separate joke: they look better equipped for a phone queue than for an actual camping trip.
The vlog has passed a million views and is comfortably the channel's busiest upload right now. "Can we escape this hell" continues drawing viewers, as does September's "The Video with No Plan", already among Slushy Noobz's most-watched regular videos.
Across the channel, daily viewing is above its usual pace, and another 10,000 subscribers joined over the week. Be Prepared and 3FS also added subscribers, while Beautiful OB and YuB are having quieter days than usual. For Slushy Noobz, the week's sole new upload found its entertainment in something very specific: strangers making a sidewalk queue feel like somewhere worth hanging out.
