Teacher Tommy T's Ghostbuster has an alien to deal with
A backyard costume reveal brings Barbie, a proton pack and an inflatable extraterrestrial into the teacher's usually school-focused feed.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 1,253,259 views a day, 8.4 times a normal first day on this channel (148,475).
Halloween costume reveal! What is your costume? 🎃 #halloween #halloweencostume ##transition
The hand over the lens does the changing-room work. Teacher Tommy T and two children start dancing in everyday clothes; when the camera clears, the backyard has become a meeting point for very different film worlds.
A pink checked Barbie dress gets a spin, Tommy poses in a tan Ghostbusters jumpsuit with a proton pack, and a boy runs past in an inflatable costume designed to look as though an alien is carrying him. Tommy aims his toy blaster at the visitor. No classroom management required, just extraterrestrial management.
The Halloween transition Short has reached about 1.2 million views in twenty hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts.
It's a change of setting from Tommy's recent posts about half-term breaks, homework distractions and memorable school guest speakers. But the dad side of his channel has been getting space too: earlier in the week, he posted his first day-in-the-life video combining teaching, parenting and creating.
