The Irish Guy gives England's squad call a Bellingham mix-up
He plays Tuchel, the players and the parents himself in the most-watched of eight new uploads.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
England Players React To Latest Squad
Jobe Bellingham gets the call every England hopeful wants, then The Irish Guy's fictional family immediately asks why he isn't more like Jude. It's a deliberately merciless start to "England Players React To Latest Squad", a comedy sketch rather than footage of the footballers' actual reactions.
The creator plays everyone, from Thomas Tuchel to the Bellingham parents. His imaginary Tuchel insists the secretary rang the wrong brother; another mistaken-identity arrival brings a Watford shirt and announces that he's the wrong Josh King. Later, Trent Alexander-Arnold gets a Gollum-like attachment to Harry Kane's trophy.
The sketch has reached roughly a quarter of a million views, the largest audience for a new upload this week, and is comfortably the channel's busiest video right now. Viewers are discussing the distinction between the labels "BELLINGHAM" and "JOBE", defending Jobe's own achievements and recalling the comparisons between another footballing sibling pair, Eden and Thorgan Hazard.
Elsewhere, the week's make-believe offered some tempting football reset buttons. "If FFP Disappeared For 24 Hours" imagines the Premier League without its financial restrictions, while "If An Irish Fan Can Be Thierry Henry" sends an Ireland supporter back to prevent the infamous World Cup play-off handball. Chelsea meet their own 2006 side, and Guardiola gets a chance to turn back time too. His video currently has the next-most momentum after the England sketch.
Across the channel, daily views are well above their usual level, although subscribers stayed unchanged over the week. Among nearby football channels, NathanConnorTV had a much larger weekly audience, while Football Iconic was quieter. The Irish Guy's own week brought nearly two million views, with the squad-call comedy providing its clearest new hook.
